The Theme was Pink

And so with the celebration of her first birthday we've officially entered into the world of pink, princesses, and ponies. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure all of her gifts were pink, from ponies to bouncy-balls, to her first trike...all pink. Pink cupcakes, pink plates, pink cutlery, and pink wrapping paper, The whole place looked like it had been hosed down with Pepto Bismo (for all those other Steel Magnolia-loving girlie-girls). She's a girly-girl. Truly, my heart warmed to see this, since underneath this frumpy mom facade, I too am a true girly-girl and am happy to have someone else in the fam to share my affinity of the color pink. She turned one. One year old and it feels like she's already as independent and emotional as any pre-teen could claim to be. At least, it feels that way coming from the world of a three-year old transformer-loving boy.

The celebration began with the pink cupcakes. The strawberry frosting was not only aesthetically appealing but incredibly delicious! If you notice the three cupcakes that say something that looks slightly like "B-Day" its because my handwriting is terrible when using an icing tube and thus I had to try a few times.

Isabelle was more than happy to eat fistfuls of cupcakes unlike her brother on his first birthday who was disgusted by the idea of having food on his hands.

My beautiful little girl with her pink bow and gorgeous smile has turned one and it feels like it was just yesterday that we were bringing her home, wrapped up in pink mind you, from the hospital. She is a happy little angel that brings nothing buy joy to our lives. Here's to many more pink birthday's ahead of us!

Jen said...: She is so grown up (and, of course, adorable) in that last picture! I owe this pink-clad one-year-old a present. It has been wrapped and sitting in the trunk of my car for a month now. Does that make me a horrible aunt?; June 1, 2011 at 12:16 PM

Taylor Talk

Taylor: "That's one fine frog and I'm gonna catch him!"

Taylor: "Dad, can you make me invisible and tiny so that I can jump into the TV and live in Ponyville?"

Taylor: "Umm, I forgot what I was doing, hmm. OH WAIT! I unforgot, nevermind."

Taylor: "My name isn't Taylor anymore. Just call me Ninja, only Ninja."

Taylor: "Isabelle, I'm pretty sure you're ruining my life."

After hearing some loud thunder Tay runs upstairs and says:
"Hey guys! That was some thunder. The bad news is there's a tornado coming. The good news is everything is going to be a huge mess."

After being "asleep" for an hour, Tay comes downstairs and says:
"Mom, Dad, I kindof accidentally played with some toys in my bed and dropped one behind it. Could you come find it for me so I can put it away."

"Mom, who glued my bones together?"

Dad: "Hey Tay, I think I saw some dinosaur tracks outside this morning..."
Tay: "Next time we see the dinosaur I think we should shoot it and eat it."

"Hey Tay, who do you think ruined all your Lego Transformers?"
"Isabelle did, because I call her Isabelle the Destroyer."

"What do you want to get daddy for Christmas, Tay?"
"Lets get him a purse so he can keep all his stuff in it and some cords that he can plug some other stuff into."

"My shirt says Wild to be Born, Bells." Actually it says Born to be Wild. I thought it more entertaining not to correct him the whole day.

"Mommy, can we get another baby from the pet shop?"

"Daddy, I need a cell phone."
"Why do you need a cell phone, Tay?"
"So I can pretend to make a call."

I hear Taylor talking at the top of the stairs after I put him to bed about 15 minutes earlier, talking in his doorway.
"Tay, what are you doing? Get back into bed."
"Its o.k. mom, I'm just telling myself a story."

"Really Mom, really. We're picking up Transformers and you put a blue block in with them? Really, mom?" (All this said with an extremely patronizing look in his eye that I can only guess comes from his father.)

Taylor: "What are we doing today mommy?"
Mom: "We're going swimming with Jake and Jamie."
Taylor: "Oh, um, actually I meant to tell you, I already have some other plan, mom. Sorry."

Hearing Tay calling for me after bed I head up to his room where he promptly tells me his tummy hurts. I say, "How come it hurts, honey?" Tay's response is, "Because I hit myself in the tummy. Can you kiss it better?"

Trying to summarize one of the 15 transformer stories we have I say, "Megatron needed the map to get the spark." Taylor interrupts with, "Mommy, don't you mean Megatron needed the ancient code?"

#48) "Mommy, my bum hurts because I ate too many jelly beans." Totally random, right?

#47) "Don't say I'm your bestfriend mom."
"Why not, Tay?"
"Because I'm dangerous. I'm dangerous because I have a snake on my shirt."

#46) "Oh, mom, if you're going to Target can you pick me up a lightsaber. thanks."

#45) Taylor: "Daddy, can you put my Transformer's leg back on?"
Chris: "Sure. What happened to his leg, anyway?"
Taylor: "Megatron broke it off."

#44) "Isabelle, you are the prettiest girl in the whole world."

#43) "That was one gorgeous poop I made."

#42) As Taylor woke up from his nap and headed downstairs, Isabelle and myself were watching him. To this he said, "Don't look at me, I'm too special."

#41) "What are you drawing there, Tay?"
" A Masterpiece."

#40) "Mom, can I go live on the moon?"

#39) "Mom, can I have a warm dog and a hot dog for lunch?"

#38) I had asked Taylor to wait for me upstairs while I finished some things in the kitchen before nap. He waited for a bit and then yelled down the stairs, "HEY LADY! come read me a story!"

#37) "This aspargagas is bad. Send it back to the kitchen!"
