Mac Grant

February 15, 2010

7lbs 3oz

The best word to sum this kid up would be.... RAD! He is always happy. He seriously smiles from sun up to sun down! His middle name fits him because Grandpa Grant seems to always have a smile on his face too.

I know everyone says this about their kids but, Mac is exceptionally smart. The Dr. says he has a larger vocabulary than most 2yr olds. Since he was about 13months, if he lost his bottle he would walk up to us and ask us "where is it". He first rolled over about 5months, sat the day after he started rolling, started crawling at about 8months, walking at about 10months, cut his first tooth about 7months, and his first word was "da". ( so not fair how that works, haha!)

Mac has a sick obsession with cars right now. When it's time to leave he'll walk up to you and start searching your pockets looking for the "teys" to the "car". He loves to drive and can actually put the keys in the ignition and turn the car over. Don't worry, he turns the hazard lights on before he starts "driving".

Mac is the biggest lover in our family. He loves having all of us home and together at the same time. If someone is missing he'll ask for them for about an hour after they leave. He gives us each about 9 maybe 10 kisses a-day (I'm not even really exaggerating). He LOVES his little brother! He kisses "Ban" probably 20 times a day. They really are going to be the best of friends.

Van Lloyd

March 15, 2011

8lbs 9oz.

This lil guy is a "slice of heaven". He has the coolest demeanor. He is so relaxed and actually , enjoys just hangin' out on the floor kickin' his legs. His middle name fits him because Grandpa Lloyd is the same way.

As you can see, this kid is eating about 6-8oz every 2 maybe 3 hours. ha! He is off the charts... We're talkin' 105th percentile. He is rolling over and starting to play with toys. He loves to watch his big brother play around him all day and is very forgiving of the "hits" he takes from Mac's favorite bat. ha! He is very alert. It's funny to watch Cameron drive Mac's remote control car around and Van will follow the sound and car with his eyes and head.

Let me just say.... He LOVES his mom! His little face lights up when he hears or sees me.

We are so blessed to have Van in our family. He definitely fits right in!

Ma' Man

When looking at this picture it's hard to judge who is the "better half". I'm totally kidding. We all know, I am. ha!

In all honesty... Cameron is. He is my "total package". He is an amazing man. I couldn't ask for a better match for myself. Let's just say..... We deserve each other. ha!

He is a WONDERFUL father! Our boys seriously adore him. He is the most loving, calm, respectful, big-hearted, funny, handsome, intelligent, handy, honest (even when you don't want him to be), faithful, in-tune, driven man I have ever met. I admire the fact that, I can see in his eyes every morning when he wakes up that, he is going to strive to be a better person today, than he was yesterday.

We are truely so blessed to have him in our lives. We love you!

I think I am starting to get a hang of this blog thing?

Now that the bottom of this is a mess, I think I have figured out a few tricks and I hope to become a professional blogger

The past year

Thought it would be fun to just post a few pics of the past year. Sorry, they aren't in order. From here on out I'll write as I go.

It's been so fun to watch these boys grow and it's CRAZY how much they look alike! They sure keep us busy all day long but, it's so worth it. I wouldn't have it any other way! (We will wait a little while to have another though because 13 months was a little too close)

Seriously... what a helper!

She's a good Sis

Mac has been having a blast with Riley during our l.o.n.g. summer days. She finds things for them to do like, chase him around the house with his remote control car, read baby book (his personal favorite is Where's Daddy), color (yes, he's only 17 months), and they spend their fair share of time at the pool.

It's SO hard to get a good pic of all 3!

Happy Father's Day Grandpa Grant

Here we go again....

I know I haven't posted anything in over a year or anything at all for that matter (whoops) but, I am excited to keep up on this so that I can print it off occasionally so my family can use it as a scrapbook.

As you can see, we now have another little "Taylor Boy" to add to the clan and are loving every minute of life!
