The Taylor's: Creston

I feel like spring weather is starting to get here and this weekend we got to enjoy a little of this nice weather! We went to Creston on Saturday for Grandma Janis' birthday party. The whole Taylor clan came to Mike and Jean Ann's…even Grandma Ann came. It was so nice to see everyone and Tate loved playing with all his cousins. The food was so yummy! We ate so much and had a nice time visiting with everyone.

Before all the company arrived on Saturday, Papa Mike took everyone (Kayson, Cora, and Tate) to the fire station. Tate's been wanting to go check out all the fire trucks. He was in heaven!! He's been talking about it ever since!

Every night when we put Tate to bed he asks me to tell him a story. The stories always have to be about something that has happened in his past. The stories we always tell usually have something to do with Papa Dick's farm but tonight when I was tucking him in he said, "Mommy, tell that story of that time when we went to the fire station with Kayson and Cora." haha! As if it was so long ago! :) Even though it happened three days ago it's like it's this story from way back when and he loves hearing the same stories over and over.

Anyways, on Sunday we celebrated Easter with a yummy lunch and an egg hunt. Grandma and Papa even gave Tate a 'big boy' basketball hoop for outside. Tate has turned into quite the little basketball nut, and this was the perfect gift. We had to come home on Sunday and put it together. After a failed nap and a trip to the hardware store, Daddy finally got it put together. It even started raining and he continued to shoot and shoot. He was filthy and looked like he had eaten dirt by the time we made him come in for a bath. I know that basketball hoop is going to get lots of use this summer!
