Fall not Autumn

Fall is my favorite season and as Landon would say "mom it's not autumn it's fall, I don't like the word autumn!." Landon is my funny bright little boy!  He just had his 5th birthday on Nov.2nd. and if you ask him he will say he's bigger because he is 5 now.  Audrey's birthday came first which was on Halloween and if you asked her Halloween was her day and nobody else's!   Anytime Landon brought up Halloween she would say "NO that's my birthday not yours!  My HALLOWEEN! I'm Cinderella on Halloween!" yes she would yell and usually push Landon at the same time...lol that's my feisty little princess.  When her birthday finally came we all had to call her Cinderella.  She was actually very sweet on her birthday and she let Landon join in on her birthday fun!  We all had a fun time trick or treating. :D

Sunday we went over to my in-law's to celebrate Landon and Audrey's birthdays.  We had a yummy dinner and the whole time Ladon was asking "when are we going to open the presents??!" or " are you done yet so we can open up the presents?!" Landon got everything he wanted which was Nerf guns.  Bret, Brock (my 16 year old brother in-law), and Landon played with the guns until it was time to go!  It was really funny watching Bret and Brock they were acting like little boys, they had to much fun!  Audrey got dolls and Cinderella princess tea set. she was also very happy!  

The best present of all was last and what amazing presents they are! Their Nana and Papa were so very wonderful and they got them Hummer H2 ride on cars!  One Yellow and one Pink!  I think I was more excited for them than they were.  needless to say they now have so much fun when we go over to Nana and Papa's house!  

It was a great birthday celebration with family and friends one I'm sure they will never forget!

Google

All I have to say is this...Google is AMAZING!  I would be lost without it at times!

Cleaner

Ok I just had to blog about my two new favorite cleaner products!  First is Cascade all in 1 advanced power dish washing  detergent...it is the only detergent that doesn't leave hard water on my dishes!  They come out completely clean!  Which is huge for me because my dishwasher is not the best...lol



2nd is Lysol 4in1 cleaner it cuts through grease, and disinfects.  I usually am a bleach fan but Bret hates the smell so I bought some Lysol to try it out.  I love it!  And the smell  is great, not too strong at all! Which makes me and Bret happy. :D

3 Dfferent People

I am Taylor, I am Bret's wife, and I am my kids mom,  but most of the time that is not the order that my life follows.  I really think of myself as mom, wife, and then Taylor.  Sometimes when I actually hear my name "Taylor" it sounds foreign to me!  I'm not Taylor anymore I am mom,  plain and simple.  But in reality it's not plain and simple!  Don't get me wrong I love being a mom, but it's not easy.  Easy is not really in my vocabulary.  But I have found out I really need balance, and I know how to give myself the balance I need.  I really do have to take care of me "Taylor" and when I do take care of me, I am a better mother and wife.  My day begins with taking care of children and ends with spending time with my wonderful husband, I find myself somewhere in between.  For example when I workout,  that is just for me and me alone.  I feel so proud of myself and accomplished when I'm done.  Or going to the grocery store all by myself.  I know it might sound lame but I LOVE Super Walmart!  I can go and spend an hour all by myself looking and shopping!  It's something I love to do, I'm alone to my thoughts and what I want to do.  This doesn't happen very often, but when it does I'm in heaven. :p  To be honest I am really enjoying my life lately, all the craziness, and the fun.  Bret has changed I have changed and we are doing good!
