Our Sweet Girl

Just a little Merideth funny along with a funny Merideth picture of her sleeping with her precious blanket: As we have been making cookies for friends we have talked about spreading Christmas Cheer. One day Merideth said, "Mom, I know, I can put one of my cheerleader outfits on when we go spread Christmas Cheer!"

Happy Advent!

We have been striving to enjoy this Christmas season as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus's birth. We are so grateful for all we have and hope you are feeling God's presence also!

Baking cookies and ornaments.

Santa Run downtown OKC.

It was a cold and windy morning, but the kids stuck it out for the one block dash!

Our furry friend was there too!

Making their own germs at a children's health fair they had at the run.

Gobbling up some cupcakes after watching "Rough Night at the North Pole" at the OKC Children's Theater with good friends Lucas and Blake.

Spreading Christmas cheer with silly hats, yummy cookies, and...spy glasses.

Thanksgiving Fun!

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We had a great one here in OK with Uncle Denny from CO, the Whitlocks, and Aunt Denise and Aunt Barbara! It was a nice relaxing fulfilling time. Thinking we should make a new rule; we assign someone to make the mashed potatoes, we need to assign someone to take pictures, there were more special people here than are pictured, sorry! Thank you to you all for traveling and thank you for a great time!

Merideth before school where she had a little Thankful concert. We curled her hair for the first time ever, she felt very pretty!

Notice the movement...

Sweet prayers.

With the visit of the Whitlocks came Dylan and Tanner's first "real" meals!!

Tanner just really wants to flirt!

Merideth loves the baby time we are blessed with!

Samuel loves the uncle time we are blessed with! (Merideth does too, she is just holding a baby at the moment!)

Denny's first visit with Dylan and Tanner.

Fun times at a Thunder game.

We went to a tree lighting ceremony in downtown OKC where we discovered that both our kids need new hats for the winter...These two pictures make us thankful for digital cameras!

Rumble was at the tree lighting ceremony so we grabbed the Whitlock families first picture with him!

Saying goodbye to our uncle is VERY hard! We love you Denny and are so proud of you no matter where you are!

Happy Birthday Danica!!!!

Happy Birthday to our sweet sweet sister, sister-in-law, and auntie Danica! We hope you have a great day and know how excited we are to see you TODAY and celebrate with you!! We love you so much!

Here is your birthday song along with your cooling birthday cake:

Samuel's Fun with Parkour

Marc and Samuel had some fun putting together a little video of Samuel on his way to get the mail:

Marc and Samuel have watched some bigger guys and their parkour talents which has led Samuel to want to do it everywhere we go!

Happy Birthday Robert!

Have a super duper Happy Birthday Robert! We can't wait to see you and your family very soon!

Both Samuel and Merideth had to have a turn singing and playing the guitar! How about the outfits?! They had been running around and were hot...it has been about 50 degrees outside!

Busy Times, Not Many Pictures!

The Taylors have been having some busy fun! Merideth and Erin traveled to NM to be with Grandma Paula during a partial knee replacement surgery. Samuel and Marc traveled to Houston for one day to shoot a video with Clutch the Bear. While Merideth and Erin were gone Samuel got to go with Marc to two Thunder games and some other work that Marc had. They had a busy week and a lot of fun! In all the fun we did not take very many pictures!!! Here is all we have:


Samuel, Merideth, and Otto from the Science museum at a Thunder game.


Samuel in Houston with the Clutch statue.


Grandpa Jackson, Erin, and Merideth at good ole' Pizza Mill in NM.


Samuel at a Thunder game where he got to sit with our good friend, Ms. Laurie, it was a very special treat for him!

The only picture Erin took in NM; a beautiful flower Merideth made for Grandma Paula to enjoy while her knee heals. She needed something to decorate the middle so she found some rocks that were nearby.

We are so looking forward to Thanksgiving!!!!
