Happy Father's Day!!!

(Woah 2 blogs in a row, i am on a roll!!!) Yesterday was Father's day and of course Brandon had to work late (3pm-early am)... So Taylor and I spent the entire day at home watching "Elmo" "Dora" and playing with her toys (it was a rainy day anyway). My mom and dad stopped by the house, after they dropped my little brother eddy off at the airport, so we all got to hang out for a bit. Taylor was walking around the house saying "elmo, elmo, elmo?" haha... this little girl cracks me up. Taylor has a few sayings that she has picked up from Dora... we were in the bath tub and there is this little cup that she sat down really fast and sat on top of the cup then said "Awwww, Man".... If you know dora, that is really all that swiper the fox says when he is not suppose to be swiping stuff.. its hilarious, i think she knows how to use it in the correct context as well.... or maybe not? LOL.
Since Father's Day and Brandon's Birthday are in the same month he only got 1 gift and he actually received his gift a couple weeks earlier. Since i met Brandon he always talked about owning a motorcycle.. when Brandon was working for hooters this regular customer his name is "Goat" let him use his motorcycle and take me around the block... lord what was i thinking i didn't even bother to ask him if he ever ridden a bike before... i just assumed, hahaha but he said he knew how to ride one. anyways!!! now that i work from home, i have somewhat of a decent income that i was going to get my teeth fix, yes i was going to get braces... 27 years old and braces.... had the appointment and everything but then i started to talk to Brandon about how he works so hard for this family and he's always wanted a bike... so i made the decision to buy the bike for Brandon and told him that this present is good for all the holidays coming up until i pay it off... haha, he was the happiest i have ever seen him :) I told brandon that i will just get braces with Taylor... it will be like a mommy and daughter thing... I'm sure in 10 years Taylor will need braces if she has my genes... LOL.
Here is Brandon with Taylor... he was so happy! He rides his bike everyday its not raining and of course he has a license too!

Here is Taylor and Brandon on Father's Day (such a great photo of them!) Taylor's Mam-Maw got her this pretty dress from Oklahoma

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Father's day!!!

Oh!! And fabulous news.... I finally talked brandon into getting rid of the passy from Taylor (he really didn't want to get rid of it because it is the last "baby"thing Taylor has, and she is just happy and content with it.. but it is time, she is 20 months)...  Father's day marked day 1 of no passy and i have been going strong of not letting Taylor have one (i threw them all out and hid 1, just incase.) It has been two days and today was a bit harder, she skipped her nap and was a crab all day long, but i put her to bed at 8:45 and she whined for 5 min and fell asleep. Next big milestone will be potty training... but that will not happen until she is 2 or 2 1/2. She is showing signs of potty training... she likes to flush the toilet and she already has her own mini-toilet and toilet seat... but she just really plays around with the idea of the potty.  So 3 more months and she will be 2 OMG OMG where did the time go????? Mark your calendar's for families reading the blog OCT 8th Saturday Taylor's 2nd Birthday Party at Taylor's House!!! (her birthday is the 2nd, but it falls on a sunday and my dad's estimated arrival date from Afghanistan is Oct 1) So just taking precaution, so he has the opportunity to come to her 2nd Birthday) Yes i have already started planning it tooooo... hehe... too excited!
