We're Back!

Yeah, yeah...I know it's been forever. I think I need to change our blog name to "Traveling Taylors"...we have literally been gone almost every weekend since my last post. And I must say, traveling with a newborn was a lot easier than now traveling with a curious and BORED 3 month old. She used to sleep for hours in the car...now it's like 20 minute naps, 20 minutes of staring at herself in the headrest mirror and batting at her toys hanging from the car seat and then 20 minutes of whimpering and whipping her head back and forth with annoyance. I wish I had video of me climbing from the front to the back (about 32 times in the first hour) and doing whatever I can to entertain my little gremlin to keep her from screaming in my face. It's quite the production, I assure you.

Lots of happenings over the past couple weeks:

We spent Thanksgiving in Portland at my parents' house. Carson's folks also made the trip over from Bend and my grandpa came from Roseburg. It was such a fun time and we were so excited to all be together. Rob and D were up in Portland with Rob's family for Turkey Day but we got to meet up for breakfast before everyone headed back.

As you will see, Kenna had a few outfit changes throughout the day...not because I'm one of THOSE moms but because she took it upon herself to shit her pants.

Breakfast with cousin Addie

Some playtime with Dad

And then crashed on Grandma

Kenna's first camp trip:

We went up to Crouch with 6 of our friends for some winter camping. It snowed the perfect amount; not enough to get us stuck but just enough to put us in the wintery spirit!

Unfortunately, we didn't get too many pictures...Kenna was too busy SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! This made her mama (and her trailer mates) very happy. And she has been sleeping almost through every night since then. Looks like we have a little outdoorsy girl on our hands....which is just fine with us!

We were in Portland this past weekend (weird, I know) for my friend Becca's baby shower. She is due in a few short months with her first little gremlin...I mean, GIRL...and she has, quite possibly, the cutest little bump I've ever seen. I was a cow at 30 weeks, she barely looks pregnant. It was so much fun seeing her and all the girls, some of us, with girls of our own to introduce.

Becca and KJ

Okay, is it just me or is my child the longest almost-3 month

old you've ever seen?!

And no, Becca is not drinking a beer, although I'm sure

she wishes she was :)

Nik and Gracie were there too...

This was us at my baby shower in August

And now :)

(please take note of this rare shot...my child is 

not the unhappy one in the picture! Yay!)

Dear Gracie, 

Please tell your mom to update her blog with adorable pictures of you.

Thanks.

And I will end this blog with tons of pictures...which is what you all really care about anyways :) Merry Christmas! I promise to post next week after we get back from Bend!
