Fair 2011

Our little family at the Pope County Fair

We went to the fair tonight! We had a blast with the boys, but Will got too tired so Zach took him home while I stayed with JT and Mema and Poppy. JT loved the bouncy maze. He found a glow in the dark bracelet in it so I told him to ask if it was one of the little girls' that were still in there. Apparently he bounced his way around and asked every girl in there and reported back that they all said it wasn't theirs. So I told him to ask the boys and as he was asking a kid about 8 years old he got knocked down. As I was yelling for him to make sure he was ok (I was locked behind a fence and couldn't see down in the maze) he pops up and says, "Well I sure guess it wasn't his" :) I love how he has such a good attitude. 

Then, once we finally got on the helicopter rides he raced to the green one, but a little boy beat him to it. He had to settle for the pink one and wasn't happy, so when I took his picture he made a mean face at me because "pink is not his favorite color". The little boy who beat him to the green one ended up getting off because he was scared, but JT got over it really fast. His went the highest so it was ok that it was pink. :)

Will had a great time also, he loved looking at the animals and watching Bubba (JT) ride all of the big boy rides. Every time we showed him a chicken he would smack his lips and say "Mum" HAHA! Just like JT did when he was little. This is the reason we have not bought a pet fish, JT always asks if he can make it grow really big so we can eat it. :/ I don't know whether to laugh or worry about this.

Lots to catch up on!

I haven't posted in a while, I started my Internship on Monday! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TEACHING! :) I am so excited I actually found something I enjoy. I am even in Junior High (which I hear is the hardest to teach) and I love it. I guess that is a good sign! 

So Will had his 4 month check-up today and I couldn't go. :( Zach took him for me though. His doctor said he is perfect (of course!) and he weights 19lbs 8 ozs, and is 27.5 inches long. He is a huge baby for his age! He also had to get his shots, he didn't even flinch until the end of the second one and he just pouted a little, but didn't cry. He then took an oral vaccine and gulped it down. Pretty sad he cried harder and louder over wanting a bottle than he does over 2 shots! He is also met every milestone for a 4 month old and even most of them for a 6 month old.

JT has been doing so good in school. He has come out of his shell quite a bit and is already starting to read. I am so proud of him. He is on a big angry birds kick right now. He got the "Angry Birds Knock on Wood" game for his birthday and he plays it every second we are at home. It is pretty funny to watch. 

We are huge football fans in the Taylor house. We are going tomorrow night to watch Har-Ber (my father-in-laws) team play for the first time this season. JT is so excited to get to play on the field and we are excited to take will to his first Har-Ber game. The boys have both already been to a couple Atkins games this season and loved it. JT even got a new girlfriend (my friend's daughter, Kylie). They are so cute together!

We are also going to the fair tonight. I'm excited for JT to ride everything, but dreading all the smokers out there. Yuck!
