Vermont post

OK, so I posted pictures of our trip to Vermont but they show up below the pictures of Taylor in my high chair so scroll down if you want to see the pictures!

Taylor in my high chair

When we were in Vermont I took some pictures of Taylor in the high chair that my parents used for me and for all of my siblings. I have a lot more pictures of Vermont that I need to edit and post. Hopefully I will have some time to do that soon.

Harold & Nancy- I thought you would enjoy these after seeing the pictures my dad took of me in the same high chair!

Vermont

I wanted to title this post, "What we did in Vermont... Or rather what there is photographic evidence of our activities in Vermont because we did a lot of things that I didn't take pictures of." But there wasn't enough room in the title section to write that much stuff so here you go.

I wish I had photographed Taylor's first boat ride, her 2nd airplane ride, her fun with her cousins, our fun tube rides on the lake, me and all of my siblings together in over a year.... but I didn't so here are some photos of what I did document.

What we did in Vermont....

We had a lot of family time!


We played with all of our nieces and nephews/Taylor's cousins


For those of you who know my family I'll tell you who belongs to who.
Brendan is holding Addyson on the left. He, Addyson, Cade and Keegan (who are the 2 furthest on the right on the couch) belong to Bryan and Michelle. Jordan is next to Brendan with long blond hair. She and Keith (the other toe head with glasses ) belong to Daniel and Rachelle. Andrew is next to Jordan holding Jack. They, along with Carter and Quinn on the floor belong to David and Angela. And of course, Taylor belongs to me and Joel.


Here are Taylor and Addyson. Taylor LOVED the babies and kept saying, "CUTE!" and kissing them.


Here's Addy in her bumbo seat


Taylor bonded with her grandparents

Here she is with my dad at the airport before we left to fly back to Colorado.


And here she is with my mom in the airport. She spent lots of time with my parents because she was sleeping in their room! She even snuggled with them in the middle of the night a few times when she got cold in the pack & play. I wish I had taken more pictures of her with my parents. Oh well...... next time.



We went to the UVM Morgan Horse Farm in Middlebury, VT with Joel's parents. Taylor loved the horses and kept pointing to them and saying, "HORSIES!!"

Joel's parents had a whole room set up just for Taylor with toys and music and other fun things. Joel's mom even made this little house for Taylor to play in. She is still working on getting it painted but it's a very time-consuming project so she says it will take her until next summer to have it finished!

Taylor LOVES her baby Stella doll!

And playing with her Nana and Grandpa Clark



We spent some time with my 2 BFFs Hilary and Jan.

Jan lives in Denver but was in Vermont visiting her family too so we all got together at Hilary's house. Poor Hilary... her house was SO clean and Taylor the Tornado came to visit.

Joel & Gus, H's sister's dog

Jan & Hilary husking the BEST corn in the world from Wood's. Hilary's sister is marrying the owner of Wood's in like a month!! :) Yay Court!

We ate a LOT of creamies!

Vermont has creamie stands all over the state- something you don't really see in the West.

Cade, my Mom, Keegan, Brendan and my sister Marisa

Then we came home. Boo-hoo. I miss Vermont!!! And I miss the people in Vermont even more.

In the heart of the green mountains!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Vermont! All of my siblings and their spouses and children were there at my parents' house- 26 of us total! It was quite the reunion. We were also able to visit with Joel's parents. I am at work right now but I will try to post some pictures soon. Taylor learned to say about 50 different words and phrases when we were there. My favorite is, "I got you!" SO CUTE!
