Tatum's Birthday Day 2!

 Here is Tatum on the day after her birthday. KelleyAnne spoiled us again with a new dress, bloomers and a birthday bib for little Tatum! Her dress matches the one KelleyAnne made for Taylor's 3rd birthday.

 We had friends over to enjoy the birthday festivities. We are so grateful for such good friends to fill in as our family!

Here is Lucy, one of our great babysitters!

Our sweet birthday girl!

It is swimming season!

We have already started swimming around here. And lessons have started too as Taylor (we!) has the goal to be dropped in the water and swim to the side on her own this summer!

A quick trip into Costco on the way home on Tatum's birthday!

Tatum's First Birthday!

Our sweet little Tatum turned one last month! What a joy she is and truly lives up to her name as "Bringer of Joy." We went to the zoo to celebrate her birthday as a family and then the next day celebrated with friends and her cupcakes.

Daddy clipped her birthday balloon onto her back. It was her favorite thing of the day!

She loved the giraffes!

And the carosel is always a favorite!

You can't miss the Texas Longhorns!

Elder Turner Hard at Work

This past week Jordan was able to host incoming missionaries. Turns out he hosted Sister Laura Schmidt who is in our ward and our neighbor. She was Taylor's sunbeam teacher as of last week. When Taylor saw the picture she said - its my teacher Miss Laura and my brother Jordan. Doesn't he look all glowing ?! Thanks Schmidt's for the pics ! We wish Laura the best serving in Moscow, Russia!

Easter Happenings!

Taylor's first year dying eggs - she loved it almost as much as her Dad does!

Taylor's pre-school class egg hunt

 Easter morning - I got their "baskets" from Pottery Barn after Halloween on clearance!

 

 Egg Hunt - in the Living Room (I like where John hid this yellow egg).

 Easter dresses from Grandma Turner!

Springtime in Texas

 The Bluebonnets come out in full bloom for a few weeks in late March/early April. It is fun to drive west of the city towards the hill country to see fields of bluebonnets but we just walked to our neighborhood bayou to enjoy these flowers and get a few pictures!
