Yeah... Yeah...

I have no excuse for why I haven't posted a Blogg in the last 4 months. So, I'm not going to make one up. Life has been good, God has been good! We will let the pictures and videos speak the rest! :)

We love you all!

I know... I know...

Greetings from Taylorland! We caught flack for not posting anything in awhile, so we finally got our act together! Since our last post Drew had his first birthday! Grandpa and Grandma Taylor and Uncle Clayton surprised Drew and Jeromie.... and boy did we get Jeromie good! He had absolutely no clue they were coming for the weekend and his face was absolutely priceless when he opened that front door. We grilled out and had a big bash with family and friends! It was a great day! Drew was spoiled rotten and got more toys than he knows what to do with!

Aunt Abbie came to stay with us in the middle of June and is staying for a month! We love it because her and Drew have been able to bond and we get free babysitting (oh, and we get to spend time with her as well!)

We don't have a lot planned for the rest of the summer, but we are really looking forward to a long weekend with the Taylor clan at a resort in Wisconsin in August! Drew seems to be doing something new every day and we are enjoying every minute. He has become quite the comedian and thoroughly enjoys making us laugh! We love and miss you all! Enjoy the new pics and videos!

Sorry That It's Been A While

Yeah, I'd like to blame it on being really busy, but, well, WE HAVE BEEN! :) As you will see, Drew has become an expert in the field of walking. To the point of almost trying to run! He still has no fear at all and had paid for it a few times with bruises on his face!
Well, I have four more days with kids before I can officially put this year behind me! Although that to the very intelligent Bismarck School Board, I will be going to back to school for a "work day" on the Tuesday following Memorial Day! Idiots!
Missy has been working her butt off getting things together, for what I think may be, the largest garage EVER! :) I think she is looking forward to me being done with school almost as much as I am! She has had to go through the year along with me. A person can only ask, "How was your day", and get the answer, "Crappy", so many times! :)
I will stop typing and let you view what you really want and that is video and pics of D-Dub!

Drew On the Move...

Hey everyone. Sorry that it has been a while. You try chasing around an 11 month old who has learned to walk! :) It keeps you very busy!
We had a great day today just spending time together as a family. We ran some errands and bought Drew some B-Day gifts. That was fun! It's hard to imagine that he is going to be a year old in a month! WOW!
As you can see Drew likes to get into the bread drawer. He seems to have found some oyster crackers.
Well, Drew and I spent some father/son time together the other night while Missy was at bible study with the ladies. That is the video of "Drunken Drew"!
The "Naked Kitchen Drew" was this evening. He always gets excited when we take his clothes off and he gets naked! Must be a "Taylor Guy" thing! :)

Hey Idiots... :)

The last time I checked the Cubs were in the National League, and the Twins were in the American League. I have always been a Cubs fan and unfortunately, I always will be! :) If you lived in ND, as i do, you would soon learn to appreciate that the Twins are the Cubs of the American League! :) Trust me, if the time comes when the Cubs play the Twin, there will be no question who I will be cheering for! You have to remember young Skywalkers, the Jonas side of Drew is all Twins! :)

PS... You try watching Cubs games and keeping up with them living in ND! :) LOL

Love you guys! :)

Drew Walks!/Weekend With Jason and Nicole

Jason and Nicole were in town this weekend, and we had a great time! Friday night we all got dressed up and went to a nice dinner out at the U of Mary. Saturday, we went on about a 6-7 mile bike ride, so all our butts are sore. We bought a pull-behind cart so that Drew could come with. We had a great time. Saturday evening I grilled like a mad man. I had two beer-butt chickens, two foil packs of potatoes, onions, and carrots, and 12 ears of sweet corn, all on the grill at one time! You can see the picture! That night we purchaced the UFC fights and watched them on our new HD TV. Sunday morning Jason, Nicole, Rod and Shirley came over for breakfast then we went to church at E-Free. We are loving the church by the way! Praise the Lord for that! Now we are getting ready for bible-study, so i better wrap this up and get ready! We love you all! Take care! :)

"1 Speed" Drew

So, Drew took his first major spill today. He was at day care today, and when Missy went to pick him up she could see that Jess (day-care lady) was upset. Drew had been pushing his walker and he was heading towards the steel-framed table. And yeah, as you guessed, he tripped and his head met that nice steel table. Not only did his head hit the table, but then it ricocheted off the steel table right into the steel chair next to it! It was a two for one deal! We took a couple of pictures that don't really do the bruise justice. It basically runs along the entire length of the right side of his head!
The good news is that he is ok! He is just a Taylor boy and we, mostly Missy, just need to get use to bumps and bruises! :)

Love you all!

Today At the Park!

Missy had her Great American Bike Race today. It's a spin-bike race to raise money for Cerebral Palsy. Missy was the captain of her team. All that really means is that she had to find people to fill out her team and organize everything.
It was such a beautiful day out that we thought it would be fun to take Drew and Wrigley to the park. Drew has never been to the park before, let alone, gone down a slide. We were on a mission to fix that! Here are a few pictures and a couple of videos of our adventure.
The last video we took right after we returned from the park, we thought you all would have a good laugh and enjoy it!

We love you all!

Keeling Made Us!

Hello everyone! Missy and I thought that having a blog for everyone to check once in a while would be an easy way for all of our friends and family to keep track of the family. Well, lets face it, Drew!

It's been a fun weekend. Missy and I were lucky enough to have some friends stay with us. Kristin Keeling and Kaitlyn Cornell came all the way from Savage and Fergus Falls, MN. We had a great time playing with Drew and telling all kinds of old funny stories.

Today, Missy and I decided to give Drew his first hair cut. It was a lot of fun and it actually turned out to look good! We added some pictures and some video of the big cut. Drew was great through the whole experience.



Well, this is my first Blog ever, I hope didn't mess it up too much! We'll see how well and how long we keep up with this Blog stuff. We will be adding videos and pictures as week take them for you to enjoy. Bye for now!
