Taylor's 7th Birthday

April 10th was our little girls birthday. It's so hard to believe she turned 7 already. I can think back to the day she was born and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. The first few pictures are of Taylor's Birthday shoot, it was actually the same day of the Easter pictures. She is such a cutie...We love you sooooo very very much Taylor Renae!!!!!

Here is her birthday invitation. I thought they turned out really good so I wanted to post it.

On her actual birthday she woke up and she was able to open present from us. It was so much fun seeing the excitement on her face. She didn't have a clue. She really thought that it was going to be a pink camo rifle and then when she saw the size she changed her mind to one of those Liv Dolls. She was so wrong!! I love how she took her time to read the card and how she let Jacob help open her gift. Jacob was so excited for Taylor. He was singing to her and telling her that he loved her so much. He was such a big "helper" to us as we got ready for the party. Taylor wanted to have a backyard party. This was our first party at home without an inflatable jump. I was a little worried at first that the kids would get bored, but this was her favorite party. We played red light green light, red rover red rover, potatoe sack races, 3 legged race, egg and spoon race, ring toss, and pinata. The kids seemed to have a blast. Thanks to my wonderful hubby it went really well. Scott played coach for the day! Below are a few pictures from the day.

The kids decided they wanted to jump into the cold pool awhile after the party. Here is Connor and Claire (Scott's brothers kids from Houston) with Jacob and Taylor getting ready to plunge into the very cold water. We were surprised on how long they actually stayed in the water. The last picture is of Taylor and Claire sleeping. It was too cute I just had to post this.
