 On Sunday we joined up with our missing Daddy and Noah in Louisville.  

 We love visiting this place with my mom and dad.  We love the food, and the scenery.  

 I just love this picture of my boys. 

 And we were able to feed the geese.

 I was a good day. 

Noah's 1st Egg Bowl

Pops invited Drew and Noah up for the game. 

 So in the cold they sat high up and watched the game.  

 Noah and Daddy. In the cold.

 And these are the Taylor boys, And my son eating an ice cream cookie.

 And they had a jumpy thing.

 SO........while Daddy and Noah were out in the cold, this is what Momma and Luke were doing.  Home snuggling and watching cartoons.

Taking home a tree

Nov 21 2012

We headed to pick out a Christmas Tree with Mimi.  We found out real quick that we could loose the boys fast.  They ran through the trees and vanished, reappeared, and vanished again.  

 Then we looked for a tree.

Mowing and Mulching

Nov 20 2012

Noah is Babu's little helper.  He absolutely loves to help "Drive" the big mower.

 I'd say Babu likes it just as much.

 Luke was scared at first of the loud noise, but Grana held him and we all watched. 

 I love Noah's face in this picture.

 And here is Babu's letting Noah make some victory laps in the street. 

Our pre thanksgiving

Our week in instagram:

My bucket heads/ amazed at the things that amuse my children, I am so thankful that they are boy healthy with no limitations, that they learn so quickly, and have such curious little minds. 

 Even during the preparations for dinner each night I have two hooligans under my feet, pulling on my clothes, vying for attention............I am so thankful that they love me, our family, and each other.  I am so thankful that they are busy but stop and notice when Momma is absent (gone to cook dinner) and come to find me.  I am thankful that Noah loves on his little brother and though sometimes teaches him "what not to do" that Noah is learning the true reason that we strive to be obedient.  That he is learning the he doesn't measure up in righteousness, but that we love him anyway.  That as his parents we have the privilege to show him Our Father's love and His plan for redemption of souls.

 I am so thankful for my children's childlike play, the moments I enjoy throughout the day, seeing them discover new things, use their imagination, and create.  How these things will shape their personalities.
