Reese: Day 1

This lovely baby girl named Reese Tayllor was born today on May 21, 2012 at 3:35pm, weighing 5lbs 15oz and 19 inches long. She had quite the papparzi experience with all of our cameras and iphones, but we just wanted to share her with the world. Congrats to my sister and brother-in-law, you did good, she is absolutely beautiful!

This little girl is going to be spoiled to pieces, here is why…

Welcome Baby Reese

Today Drew and I became aunt and uncle to this beautiful baby girl named Reese Tayllor! There will be loads more photos to come, but here is a shot I took right after she got washed up.

Becky & Josh – Maternity Photos

Let me start by saying this, I am not a photographer! But my little sister asked if on Easter we could go take a few photos of them to document this special time. Becky is now only four weeks away from her due date, and we can’t wait for Reese to get here. Pretty sure she is going to get all these good looks from her parents.

Can’t wait for my little niece Reese gets here so we can spoil her rotten!


Becky’s Baby Shower

This past weekend, March 17th, we had a baby shower for my little sister Becky to celebrate my future niece, Reese Tayllor. It was lots of fun and was very blessed. I can’t wait til she gets to pass all that stuff down to me! And I can’t wait to spoil my new niece! Here is a real cute “I have the best Auntie” onsie outfit – complete with leggings, I have ready for her when she is born:

It’s hard to believe my little sister is going to be a mom soon – it’s crazy pants, as we say in our house, but hopefully she learned from the best (our mom).

Here are some photos of the shower… warning there is an overload of pink! 🙂

Christmas 2011

The New Year is just 1 day away and I can honestly say this has been a great year – great jobs for both Drew and I, and are blessed with great family and friends.

For Christmas Drew and I got to spend time with both families, Drew’s Mom on Christmas Eve Day, then we attended the Life Church Christmas Eve service, then following we went over to my Uncle Scott and Aunt Kathy’s home. Then Christmas Day, Drew and I slept in, ate Monkey Muffins and opened presents. After, we went to Drew’s dad for brunch, then my parent’s house for dinner and to watch the Packer Game.

Also, some exciting news – Becky and Josh announced what they are having  – a girl!

Christmas Traditions 2011

Last year we decided to make cookies and spell out Merry Christmas 2010, sooo we continued with the tradition this year and made cut out cookies spelling Merry Christmas 2011. We also decided to make m&m pretzel rings – yummmm! I love those way better than the cookies.

Also, take a peek at our decorations – they didn’t change much from last year, but it’s still fun to decorate!

Thanksgiving 2011

This year for Thanksgiving, we split time between the two families. On Sunday, we went to Drew’s moms house to eat turkey. Then on Thursday, Drew and I went to his dad’s house to watch the Packers beat the Lions. After the game, we headed over to my parents house to eat Thanksgiving dinner there. As usual, that means craziness with the cousins.

After we recovered from our turkey coma, Melissa, Jess, and my Mom went out shopping for Black Friday. We began the adventure at 9pm and finally concluded at 6am and crashed. I was very happy to have Friday off of work!

Fishing with Dad

Each Summer, we try to go out fishing with my dad on his boat. While we really hate to give up a Saturday to sleep in, to get up at the crack of dawn – we usually suck it up. Luckily this time, we got to go out in the evening. We both caught a couple fish, however my dad none. Sad!

Melissa & Ben’s Wedding

My sister Melissa got married this past weekend, and it was lots of fun. I was the matron of honor and Drew was an usher. My good friend, Heather took some photos as practice for her own business, along with my other friend Amy who was the “official photographer.” Here are some shots from the wedding… more will probably be coming.
