FAMILY FUN

It all started with just Taylor & I hangin' out with Kathy at the Horspool home. Then 5 of Taylor's 6 siblings showed up with their families & things got pretty crazy! We had a blast hanging out with brothers, sisters, and kids galore!

I got this old family picture from my Balling side and I wanted to show off my awesome family!

My grandparents are the ones in the middle of all the boys on top, and I am the little blonde one second to the right in the front.

Happy 4th of July!

We celebrated the 4th with family and friends swimming, eating, & watching fireworks!

6 months down!

We went to Amber's sister's house where we had an excellent view of the UCR fireworks show!

Happy Birthday Taylor!

Taylor had his "golden" birthday on the 27th! (That means he turned 27 on the 27th - it does not mean Gold or Au is the 27th element on the periodic table as Brooke thought.)
We elebrated his "golden" birthday by having a BBQ/Pool/Rockband party. All the family came over and we had a grand ole time!

All the neices & nephews swarmed Taaylor when it was time to open presents!

All brothers playing Rockband together - what a team!

Sleeping on the tramp

So we slept out on the tramp & it was comfy cozy untill about 4 am when we got cold and our bladders were full to bursting! So the second picture is our abandoned attemp.

The best time of day!

Breakfast!

The other day we had one of my favorite breakfasts. (even though most breakfasts are my favorite) But I just want to make a tribute to the best meal of the day by saying, "I love banana pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, & cool refreshing orange juice! Who wouldn't want to jump out of bed to that?

A day out

Yesterday sfter my doctors appointment in the morning we dicided, randomely, to spend the day out instead of at home - since taylor didn't have work or anything. It was a challenge cause we were both kind of grundgy looking & there were things at home we wanted, but it was an adventure & everyone needs adventure right!
So we went to Ontario Mills mall and got a free magic show, free minute massage, & a theatre experience in the Bose sound system presentation. We even bought matching shorts/sweats cause the boys fit more comfortably on me than the girls! :)
After the mall we headed up to the mountains and drove around Big Bear lake - it is so pretty up there! We don't have pictures but that is what we did & I definately recommend a day out for anyone who is up for the challenge - it's great!

Half Way!
So now I am at 20 weeks & here is a picture of my baby bump. I can really feel it growing every day now!

It's a cool pool party!

We had a Horspool family party on Memorial Day!
There was lots of swimming & eating of delicious barbequed beef and otherfoods.
Playing with family & friends is always a blast!

Next time you sneak into our picture Tami... at least you could pull an uglier face than mine!

Its a... its a... its a...

BOY!!!

and he is getting so big! they can't even get a picture of the whole body at once, in case you can't tell, this is a picture of his head and chest.
We are so excited that we are having a little stud!
We thought we would have a girl cause we just can't think of any boy names that we like, but I guess we will just have to think harder!

Cinco de Mayo

To celebrate the Mexican Independence day we invited friends over and ate a delicious Mexican meal & we drank Mexican drinks then we hit a pinata that was filled with Mexican candy!
( I think the favorite was the sweet grass gum!)
