Watching Emma Grow Up

This past weekend when we were in Stockton at Joanie and Robinson's for the 5K Tiger Dash we were playing with Emma and watching her grow up and move on to her next stage. She is REALLY close to crawling! We were teasing Erin T. that she would be crawling in the next week. She "Army Crawls" as Erin calls it, on her stomach. It is so cute! She can ALMOST get her legs under her but hasn't quite figured that out yet. Here is a video we captured. Joanie is so bad! She kept putting Emmas legs under her trying to coax her into a full crawl! HAHAH!!

A Long Unspoken Silence

WOW! I can't say how sorry I am that there has not been a post in two weeks! GEESH! We have been busy, and it's not always on my top five things to do, to sit down and write....but finally I have found a little bit of time.
Just to keep the most current things on the forefront I will recap our FAB weekend!
Friday we had a wonderful dinner with our friends Alli and Marco! It's been a couple of months since we have seen them and we missed one of their brithday's so it was necessary to see them again.
Saturday we were up at 5AM!!!!!!! (ps you KNOW I'm not a morning person!) Erin T., Sean and Emma picked us up at 6am and we all headed to Stockton for the Tiger Dash 5K run. A benefit run for Robinson's PhD program at UOP (univ. of the pacific). Joanie, Erin and I walked and traded off pushing Emma in the stroller, while Aaron and Sean ran the whole thing! We were so proud of them, especially Sean who is leaner than a toothpick, but hasn't excersiced in a year! hahah! They came in somewhere between 17-20th place, about 26 minutes and were passed up, no that's an understatment, they were SCHOOLED by an 11 year old girl! hahahah! We had such a fun day with them and didn't end up getting home until 9:30 pm! We were BEAT!
Sunday was typical, church, In-laws, frisbee, and then back the in-laws for Bridget's birthday dinner! YUM Steak! And the best thing of all, a nice Jacuz in the hot tub for my achy body...Ahhhhh Bliss.....

Don't Tell DAD....

...but someone puked at the party!

Well Bloggers, it seems no one is reading my blog, so it doesn't really matter, but just in case you happen across this and want to know whats been up this past week here it is.... well at least friday!

It was an unlikely source, the throw up I mean...or maybe it was the most likely source! Emma got a little drunk off her usual serving of milk and then Aunt KK decided to Airplane her in the air, and got the residual effect of PUKE ALL DOWN HER SHIRT!!!!

Now that the "third person" is done, let's divulge a little of Aaron's 27th birthday party happenings!!!

Aaron turned 27 (ooo getting so close to 30!) last monday the 13th, and we celebrated on the 17th at my dad's house as our group of friends keeps getting larger and our home stays the same- at 918 sq/ft! Not to mention it was blazing hot and we would have been like sardines in a sauna at our place! So dad, Katie and Davina opened their home to us (not that they had much of a choice) and we threw a great party- beerpong and all!

We ordered Mecca for Din and had a great time eating with all our guests...then we had an even greater time playing Flip-cup and beer pong. And to top off the night we had a Girls V. Guys Catch Phrase game....the guys "won" by cheating and later- like two days later- Aaron finally admited that they had cheated to win.

The Girls are in Canada and I am jealous!!

*Because I have received threatening voicemails from the the participants in these pictures, there identities have now been "removed"!- SO THERE. Now please keep sending me pictures of Isabella!!!!! 

Shauna and Heather are in Canada with Sara, Matt and baby Isa and I am jealous! I have no idea how I am going to wait two whole months to see this prescious child! I am itching to get my hands are her and watch her coo all day long...and of course say hi to sara and matt on my way to the baby! hahaha! She just looks so scerene, and calm and perfect. I even think she has red hair. The girls have promised to keep me updated everyday with pictures and matt is lathargically posting his new pictures every few days, so I guess that will help keep me contented.
I guess my real contintement will be hanging around with Erin T's little one, Emma. Which of course I don't mind at all. Emma and I had some face time last night. We laughed and smiled at each other it was wonderful. She is such a good baby and she too has some hints of red in her pelo. So it looks like we may have some more crazy red heads running around, two girls after my own heart....and hair. Stay tuned for more of my baby envy.

Peace out - Kristin

The Baby Has Arrived!!!

Little Emma Grace Taylor has arrived!  

She came to us on Tuesday, Febraury 17th around 6:30 pm!  She was 8lbs 2oz and 20" long.  Sean said Erin T. was "superwoman"!  I found out later just how much of a super woman she really was....she did it all without an epidural!!!!  I can't even imagine! Erin T. you are definitely a rockstar! We are so proud of you!!!!  Even her doctor was suprised to walk in and find that she did not have an epidural! woo hoo!  

Emma is doing great and so is mom and dad...maybe a little tired, but they are doing well!  

Emma is now a week old and just as cute as ever and we swear that she has Erin T's raspy little voice! Yes another voice like Erin's and mine, that is so awesome!! 

I was so honored to get to be one of the first people to see her!  The pictures below are of little Emma, just about an hour old, and a proud couple of grandpa's holding thier little granddaughter!  This is Ken's first grandbaby and John's third!   Congrats to all....next up Sara L.'s little girl.  No names yet, they will decide when she comes, some time in late march!  woo hoo!
