Fun day at the Rodeo!

This past weekend some friends of ours were in town to show their chickens at the Austin Rodeo. We went for support and to allow Taelyn some new experiences. She has contact with horses and potbelly pigs on a daily basis, thanks to our neighbors!,but does get the chance to interact with baby livestock. She definitely had a good time in the petting zoo at the rodeo. I took some video and pictures - enjoy!

First Snow!

Snow is a rarity in Texas, so we were happy to get some of the white stuff this year, even if it wasn't much! Taelyn and Butter both weren't sure what the cold, wet stuff was, but were very interested in finding out!

Taelyn Birthday Celebration

12 months ago Taelyn Paige Martin entered our lives and things have not been the same since. We have been so blessed to have such a good natured baby and now easy going toddler. Her birthday party was a good time and something we will all remember. When it came time for her to eat her birthday cake, she was not too sure about it. Up until that moment, she has not had any sweets so the taste was unlike anything she was used to! Well, that is fine with me if she does not have a sweet tooth!

Here are some pictures from her party - lots of friends and family shared her day. Thank you all for coming and making memories with us!

Taelyn Turns 1!

Today is Taelyn's 1st birthday. I was just on the phone with my good friend Maegan, and she asked me if I remembered what was going on at this time last year. Taelyn was born at 6am, so by this time we were already relaxing in the hospital and in just complete awe of this precious little baby that had come into our lives. It is so hard to believe it has already been a year! Taelyn's birthday celebration is Saturday, so I will post pictures and perhaps some video as well.

Christmas Memories

So, I realized I had never posted any pictures from Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at home with the Martins and then a few days after Christmas with the Normans in San Antonio. We had a wonderful time and Taelyn very much enjoyed all the gifts - or should I say wrapping paper and ribbons! She had a fun time playing with all her BOY cousins too. She is the only girl on the Norman side, so my grandmother was especially excited to finally have a baby girl again.
