Our Seven Year Old

Taylor is 7 years old now! Where does the time go? This year was supposed to be the year that we didn't have a friend party but it kind of turned into that anyway. I knew she would love sharing one of her favorite places (McDonald's) with her friends so I picked up a bunch of her little girl friends in one car and Eric drove our other three kids in the other car. This was all a surprise to Taylor. I enjoyed listening to the chatter that goes on between little girls of this age and seeing Taylor thrill in her little surprise for the evening. She loved and appreciated what we did that night which made me smile. I hope I can always get it right.
Her friends Kaitlyn, Riley, Lilly, and Abi all contributed in making Taylor's birthday a great one. In Taylor's words, "it was fun!".

Memorial Weekend--Having fun near home

Taylor's final dance concert for the year was on Friday night of Memorial Day weekend. Its always so fun for her to get on stage and fun for us as her parents to watch her dance.

The next day we went for a 4-wheel drive down to a beach along the Colorado River. It was a beautiful day and because the access to this area is limited to most vehichles, we felt far from the crowds. The water was nice along this stretch with lots of shallow water and so we let the kids get wet.

We went with our friends the Davidsons who are loving their new jeep.

After our drive which we started in Boulder City, we noticed the big Veteran's Memorial Cemetary and thought it would be appropriate to stop and remember those that have served our country. It was a sight to behold with all the little flags that were placed at every tombstone.
The kids looking on.
