8 is Great!

Wow, Taylor is 8!
That is so hard for me to believe. It really doesn't seem like that much time has gone by since she was born. I know people say this all the time, but "it seems like just yesterday" that she was born, and learning to walk, talk,

going to pre-school all those things your babies and toddlers do.



Then she started Kindergarten, I couldn't believe she was old enough to start school.
Now she's 8, in 3rd grade and Baptized!!!! She is a sweetheart of a girl. She can be so loving, she just wraps her arms around me and says "I Love You so much". I will admit, she's got me wrapped around her little finger. I try to be strict, but she knows how to get me to break! Halloween was Friday, and she dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Doesn't she look cute?


She had some friends and cousins over for her birthday/baptism celebration. Everyone had a great time.

Taylor is just like any other 8 year old girl - it's all about High School Musical and Camp Rock and stuff like that. We had a High School Musical cake - it was delicious!

Her cousin Danny was able to baptize her. This may not mean anything to anyone but me, but, Danny was wearing my Dad's white pants. I always thought my Dad would be the one to baptize Taylor. I miss him a lot, but times like this, I miss him even more. He was missed and thought about and I think it was cool that Danny could wear "Pop's" (Grandpa) white pants!

I can't believe it either! Wow, I was super skinny in that top picture! Oh, to be 17 again.

Yes, 8 is great! My Carter will have his 8th birthday in December.
That is such a special thing for Danny to baptize Taylor. I love that picture of them together. I am sure that their grandpa was so proud of both of them. I gotta agree with Taylor, High School Musical is pretty awesome! We all love it too.
