MY GIRLS

My BEAUTIFUL baby Tayte. 2 1/2 months old. It's funny cause usually when people see a baby they say, "she's so cute" but most people who see Tayte say "she's so pretty". We think she's one of the most beautiful babies we've ever seen!:)

She has found her fist. Definently is gonna be a finger sucker. I wish my kids would take binkies, so much easier to get rid of. Tayte just does not like the binkie.

Tummy time. Oh, what a strong neck!

My smiley baby. Any time I go up to talk to her she gets the biggest smile. I LOVE it!!

I LOVE my Tayters!! She is such a good, sweet baby!

She LOVES to be outside! She's just watching her sisters swim. She's almost big enough for this seat.

When it's just us at the house, I hate changing into bathing suits. So they always just swim in their panties:)

Ty is Tayte's wanna be mommy. She always wants to hold her and lift her and feed her and carry her. She's just not quite big enough for me to trust yet. But she loves Tayte SO much and is such a good big sister.

Besides being a good little mommy Ty has been cracking us up lately with how she's talking. A couple weeks ago her word was "exquisite". She told me how I was "exquisite" and she told Dave his hair was "exquisite". Then the other day at the dinner table out of the blue she said "I don't like this, this is "matrocious"! she meant atrocious, but still holy cow, we can't believe she can even say these words, let alone use them in the right meaning. Who says TV is bad? OK, maybe some, but I love Sesame Street! Look at the words they're teaching my 4 yr old!

Then there's my little princess, and boy does she REALLY think she IS a princess. She thinks everyone has to do everything for her. And she is very stubborn when she doesn't want to do something.

Here she is throwing a fit cause I told her to sit down and eat her dinner.

Everynight it's a fight with her to eat her dinner. She wants me to spoon feed her, which sometimes I do when I'm sick of the fight. But not this night, she's gonna sit there until SHE eats it herself.

She was not happy, as you can see.

But after about 2 hours she finally ate it all, mostly by herself, so she got a cookie. What a happy girl now!

It's funny how different my girls are, they are each so unique and I love them to death!!

Rest of our Oregon trip

Anyone who knows Lee Eastman (grandpa), knows how much he LOVES to talk and tell stories. Him and Madix were just sitting at the table for the longest time having a little snack, just talking and talking.

He even talked baby Tayte's ear off, but she seemed to enjoy it:) She was just in awe of him.

The last day in Oregon we went for a little walkabout.

It was a beautiful trail, with little waterfalls.

Tayte REALLY enjoyed it too:)

Poor Jenny had to carry Madix most the way, she kept whining. We LOVE Aunt Jenny, she is the absolute best Aunt in the world!!

Oregon was Tylers paradise. Her favorite thing to do at our house is to go out back and look for little tiny bugs, and she'll find one every now and then and capture it. So if you can imagine her in Oregon..... She got to hold a frog!

It's hard to see, but she's holding a big lizard here.

A chicken!! It was very entertaining watching Jenny and Amanda trying to catch this chicken:)

I am so glad Ty drew the line on this one! This is a huge, gross, slimy, snail or slug or some weird creature. Ty would not hold this one. I think Lilly had slime stuck on her hands for the rest of the day.

Madix on the other hand is not so adventurous when it comes to holding things. She wanted nothing to do with the chickens.

Jen showed Ty where the chickens liked to be petted.

Collecting eggs from Jenny's chicken coupe.

I didn't get a good picture of his property, but this is Stacey's back yard. The kids played outside for hours.

Lilly got a lilly pad out of their pond for Ty to hold.

Holden and Madix

Stace, peddling them around out in their pond.

This is hilarious, so Shayna was out of town all week and Stace was home taking care if all 4 of his little kids by himself. This tells a lot.... Vienna walking around naked, eating a dog biscuit!:) No, he really did do a great job, and sure does appreciate his wife a lot more! ALL men should experience that!

Just hangin out on the back porch, enjoying beautiful Oregon! It was a great trip!
