I cannot believe that 13 years have already passed. She is growing up way too fast. I couldn't be more proud of her. Here are a few pictures from her birthday party and a few thoughts on her. We took her and her friends shopping and them back home for a slumber party.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAsnmEGjroj9jrLi_2KbSh4lH8BduUTijVuHq37DecUFKBjPSs2hfmu-OTpUkvoTmlzItDTS7vJKg4dAD3QTDaaR1vBVksj8coQkOyLcSWfsbmajXnmayfiiN6-uJRPDvg1gOdXjwCsI/s1600/Morgan's+Bday+1.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 289px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490808831515899362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAsnmEGjroj9jrLi_2KbSh4lH8BduUTijVuHq37DecUFKBjPSs2hfmu-OTpUkvoTmlzItDTS7vJKg4dAD3QTDaaR1vBVksj8coQkOyLcSWfsbmajXnmayfiiN6-uJRPDvg1gOdXjwCsI/s320/Morgan's+Bday+1.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 293px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490808458926047794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD6wh37RghYpOlKBNCmqwOMU4JqkieBgspzBVqdwOvqGoTNnge84J0waeFwF9oDSpVRkhJ6UQ3pEfnOYHyZVVxMhDlap1aZbBecWCgJCQe2ulFXmjnGRd2Ts_efR6UCMJAR2EjOSwXRGo/s320/Morgan's+Bday+2.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490808469742125426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKoFfwz7_6L70SbFiBMarA9QeRbr3b44o2YGuGcINkFNyni_3QYIeROT7y5jEf2TE7T-dk1a6VEu1W-eSgwTEV_jbR58Ar3QblcmMtNJFxvFJDplAHWcBk-IWUGyB3MxgeiNvau2dCY7I/s320/Morgan's+Bday+3.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490808478993973362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyGAZLN-hadS9WvIwXsVSMwKjL2WqpokTmyu3mXy3FTik0ZTWZg0gAtdjKf91quMnGmVitUK82Dp-I6UK58gsBSvPWR3q1u_iBP_XM15UoFl6XORelELhUmizxUJetQ5qFqDr9DE5OM8M/s320/Morgan's+Bday+4.JPG" /><br /></span><div><span style="font-size:130%;"> Morgan and a few of her girlfriends.<br /><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490808488314666850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ23z_h03BvUsw2EE2A-llbwlDjXsKfbV0NMgaEhcKOiT0ZshHakOACRGl2ANqtqvIE0GDGUQxMlNQ9OL-d48eFB7xOYUnVLisLiV6qXOmh9Clfyjn_K5F5HZ3_59P3owcbuT8KefPfYg/s320/Morgan's+Bday+5.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490808500632676546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Feqx0OX3JHeAiNXcPUODYULowFByEEtApHD7alrSOpx0yuak9mdOF9RGo7IQVTvQju9B3WNnvCcr1JXCEg0k3OsNegbzt9mUEeZ7vM9DCitgJqVws6TXgvKr9RTNuhGhf7VkQKj8JEg/s320/Morgan's+Bday+6.JPG" /><br /></span><div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">13 things about Morgan Anne Taylor</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">1. She is smart - she obviously got that from Mark! She is way smarter and much deeper thinking than I will ever be!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">2. She is caring - she has a very sensitive and caring heart. She is very sensitive to the needs of others, and she has a real desire to help them.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">3. She loves to read - if you want to find Morgan, find her book! She has read more books in 13 years than I have read in 35 years.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">4. She is a true blond - for being very smart, she doesn't have a whole lot of common sense! Just ask her where ground beef comes from. You may think it comes from a cow, but she has other thoughts!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">5. She is a christian - Morgan put on her Lord and Savior in baptism earlier this year, and she has a true desire to serve God.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">6. She loves CDR - who knew when Mark and I met there that she would love it just as much as us one day? She truly feels at home there.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">7. She loves romance and love - where did this kid come from? I think maybe I should have her tested to see if she is really my child!!!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">8. She is a good role model - even though Haleigh would NEVER admit it, she wants to be just like Morgan! She is a great example to her brother and sister as well as to her friends.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">9. She loves musicals/acting - again, where did she come from? I think she may really belong to Mandy!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">10. She is embarrassed by me - of course, most kids are, but Morgan REALLY is. She doesn't want me to do anything that would draw extra attention to her.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">11. She is shy - Morgan will never be the one out there as the center of attention at a party. She will be the girl in the corner hoping that no one notices her.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">12. She is beautiful, inside and out - she doesn't need makeup and fancy clothes, she knows that true beauty comes from what she does and how she acts, and I think she is stunning!</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">13. She is a great friend - Morgan never judges people, she just loves them and supports them. She will always be there to listen and give advice. She is a true blessing to those that know her. If she isn't your friend yet, you should get to know her better! You will be blessed - as I have been for 13 wonderful years!</span></div></div></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-27652515074260689072010-01-07T11:47:00.011-06:002010-01-07T15:08:33.842-06:00December 2009<span style="font-size:130%;">The first snow of the season arrived December 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span>, and we were all very excited.

We get set in our ways, and we don't want to change a thing even though it would be better to make a change. I struggle with that. I struggle with pride. I don't like to be told I am wrong, and I sure don't like to admit that I need to change. That is my big struggle right now. I need to make some changes, but it is so hard. I am scared of change, but I need it to be healthy (mentally and physically). So, today I begin my quest to change. It seems about as scary as that shark! I am afraid to be defeated.</span></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-51556365077924049582009-07-15T07:28:00.004-05:002009-07-15T07:38:18.057-05:00some of my favorites...<span style="font-size:130%;">I love movies. I love spending time with my family watching movies. These three movies are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sooooo</span> good, and they are quality family movies that you should check out if you have never seen them.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">1. August Rush - one of our favorite movies of all time. It will make you cry or at least get goose <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bumps</span> every time you watch it. Amazing music too!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="http://iesb.net/filmgeekz/images/stories/jreviews/527_AugustRush_1205198421.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://iesb.net/filmgeekz/images/stories/jreviews/527_AugustRush_1205198421.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">2. The Ultimate Gift - This movie is a movie that I recommend to everyone, but it is not well known. Check it out - a great life lesson kind of movie.</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://colourmeshocked.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/51zfmm8rdjl.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 366px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://colourmeshocked.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/51zfmm8rdjl.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">3. School of Life - This is one of my all time favorites. I think it was a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tv</span> movie, but you can order it through Blockbuster if you do it online. I think this is Ryan Reynold's best movie, and I love him! This is such a good movie, and it is a real tear <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">jerker</span> too.</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.axelmusic.com/resources/covers/0/025192966224.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.axelmusic.com/resources/covers/0/025192966224.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> If you have never seen these movies, rent them. If you have seen them, you have already been blessed! I just love movies that actually have a purpose instead of just the regular Hollywood blockbusters.</span></div></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-85791397976691228432009-06-18T18:17:00.003-05:002009-06-18T18:27:05.381-05:001 video I forgot<p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzvOtZAV0EfZbLcZdjGt2EDZfpKY0kArwhgLTahR-ViZDCS7inc9VW7j4ITWE7801kPONgFr6W-BaNLl5opKA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Jacob learned how to swim last summer, but at the beginning of this summer he thought he forgot how to do it.

All the kids had a great year in school. Morgan is moving on to the middle school next year (man, I feel old), Haleigh is going to be in 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> grade, and Jacob graduated from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">pre</span>-k.

There are so many things that we wish we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">could've</span> shared with her, especially her grandchildren. There are 7 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">grandkids</span> on Mark's side of the family, but she only got to meet 3 of them. She used to laugh so hard at the things they did, and I know that she would've really gotten a kick out of the others as well. My heart hurts this weekend as we are going to be getting together to remember her, but it also hurts when I see things in the kids that I know she would love. Life is so weird some times. Why was she taken from us at such a young age? Why did she not get to see all of her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">grandkids</span>? Why did she not get to see her own children grow into the fine men and woman that they have become? I know that she would be so proud of all of them, and we look forward to the day when we can be joined once again as a family in heaven.</span>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-75193220853561331802009-05-02T10:39:00.005-05:002009-05-02T10:58:11.066-05:00Celebrating Morgan's Birthday<div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">We went to the Ranger game for Morgan's birthday.

I can't wait for even more years together with her!</span></p>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-91004484369227114362009-04-09T21:36:00.003-05:002009-04-09T21:44:57.852-05:00My beautiful (inside and out) daughter...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ukLJ67J_JJaN0N5vRf0CiDzJeeRQh6GragM6cLaJCTh2-nG9XVHnlxBW1FsP8qGNHLpCAVgntlI1gMRJyf_mVzMGhxqoj9PfK3oO7XrpB2-GyH464vR9ZS18DFLkqD6vcdBqTSIP37Q/s1600-h/Morgan+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322888171910561906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ukLJ67J_JJaN0N5vRf0CiDzJeeRQh6GragM6cLaJCTh2-nG9XVHnlxBW1FsP8qGNHLpCAVgntlI1gMRJyf_mVzMGhxqoj9PfK3oO7XrpB2-GyH464vR9ZS18DFLkqD6vcdBqTSIP37Q/s320/Morgan+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Is it possible that my 11 year old daughter is more spiritual than me? She has a friend that is having some trouble with friendships/relationships, and she came over tonight to seek advice from me and Mark. I think Morgan was more helpful than us. Instead of just giving advice, she went to her room to get her Bible. She wanted to tell her friend what the Word said. I was so impressed with her knowledge of the Bible and her love for it. She is such a strong young lady with wisdom far beyond her years. She is truly a blessing to me and Mark as well as to others. I couldn't ask for a better example for my own life than my own daughter. She is so compassionate, loving, sensitive, and a true friend. I hope others appreciate her for who she is and see her the way I see her - an amazing example to all she comes in contact with. God will do great things through and with her, and I can't wait to see what that will be...I love her so much, and I am so incredibly proud of her this night.</span></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-17072889089053112192009-03-28T19:57:00.002-05:002009-03-28T20:08:57.726-05:00Images<span style="font-size:130%;">As my girls are getting older, I am more aware of the "images" that the world produces. They are scary. I was talking to a dear friend the other night about what she wants to look like, and I get so frustrated because I know that those "perfect looking" women aren't real - they are the product of Hollywood or the magazine company. Why do we (as Americans) think that the perfect look is a size -2, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">blonde</span>, big chest, and perfect skin? None of it is real. The young people in our country certainly believe it is real though! Don't believe me? Just ask someone over the age of 10!!!! What can I do to prepare my daughters for the real world and dealing with unrealistic images? I pray often for guidance in parenting because it is NOT EASY to raise children these days (not that it ever was, but the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Internet</span>, TV, movies, and magazines sure make it harder). Mark and I saw this interesting clip one day, and I'd like to share it. It is something that every <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">pre</span>-teen to adult needs to see....</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U"><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U</span></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Scary, huh?</span>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-70498577954483657412009-03-18T20:35:00.010-05:002009-03-18T21:12:55.543-05:00Camping in Jacksboro<span style="font-size:130%;">Okay, I am frustrated with Blogger tonight because it won't let me arrange my photos in the order that I want them :( So...the pictures are not in order, but oh well. We had a great camping trip to start off spring break in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jacksboro</span> at Ft. Richardson State Park with some old friends. Mark's friend from childhood and his family came to Texas for a wedding in Austin, so we got to see them for a few days of camping before they headed to Disney World. We had a great time camping, so here are a few pictures from our trip.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-y5ozevnEdO-oVqrrbkGgvg2j-YbMkN5MMvnQEeM1vS0AM_8UdzS2Cw_31oOOwQsuxv655uaM5D0SSt0hpQZazA4xoiqgbTysVDuAwGUkp4AWnHcgRkUbSOjDaglAQ_1x1qlCYGL8U3E/s1600-h/062.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314710162096614114" style="DISPLAY: block;

Some of you may have even been the victim of Haleigh's ear holding! Haleigh LOVES EARS. Every year when it comes near her birthday, she would say "this year I am going to stop holding ears". When she was about to turn 8, she decided that she was never going to stop holding ears. That's okay with me, I guess. Jacob likes to touch skin - any skin, but he is now on this neck kick. He really likes to tuck his hand under necks because he says it feels so warm. Jacob spends a lot of time in our bed because he wakes up almost every night and makes his way to our room, but he starts off in his room. This is how I found my handsome little boy the other night...he didn't even take off his clothes. Isn't he just about the cutest thing? Man, he is growing up so fast.</span><br /><br /><div><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigC0WhRZ4d8t4UNk4yCZxHlKV-LdKHGNMeLfhe7zcPL8ZERSBfMoZzoKQi7aZt2iced7jkP2e_fxDaJ7kmT9hYy2KoXWQwDBazxTy5JyBYZMLcQrfwMwtiA9LQC6EA1Fav0nq76y0Fbt8/s1600-h/016.JPG"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309885285002144306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 233px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigC0WhRZ4d8t4UNk4yCZxHlKV-LdKHGNMeLfhe7zcPL8ZERSBfMoZzoKQi7aZt2iced7jkP2e_fxDaJ7kmT9hYy2KoXWQwDBazxTy5JyBYZMLcQrfwMwtiA9LQC6EA1Fav0nq76y0Fbt8/s320/016.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> Okay, so the day I have been dreading has finally arrived. Morgan is now as tall as me. She has hit a growth spurt here lately, so now she has reached me. It will only last for a little while, I'm sure. She will be taller than me by next week! Her legs are already longer than mine. My pant length is petite or regular, but she wears a long. Nice, huh?! I actually thought it would happen sooner, so I guess I should be glad that it took this long.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Haleigh is such a character. The other day she was talking about something she did at school. I told her that she is just so much more awesome than everyone else. You know what she said? She said, "I know, I really feel sorry for everyone else because they are not as cool as me". Wow. She really likes herself! I never have to worry about her self esteem :)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">On a sad note, we lost one of our dogs. Cookie went missing the other night just before bed time. We couldn't figure out what happened to her, but we found some evidence today. IF YOU GET QUEASY, DON'T READ ON. We found one of her legs in the back yard today. Our neighbors dog was victim to a coyote that has been coming around while we are out, and we think that the coyote also got Cookie. Lightning is sad...he looks so lonely. Here's a memory of better times.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309894614950091874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheXSE5bOaZ89uiy3UEojDwuHT0CmY-4XlfagyS1umsv38l8k3Yq23pfhb7w3LUnQKNbXw0NRZQoUm2dQxHWO_8TFsx2sJmvEDYMp3mw-6xVYPTR-7ktEgqBqEbWB4enuSp5RZZXq0VFqk/s320/Cookie_1.jpg" border="0" /></span></p></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-28896600449178172552009-02-23T18:02:00.002-06:002009-02-23T18:16:32.599-06:00well....long time...no blog<a href="http://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/object/news/51896/img/flu3.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 377px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/object/news/51896/img/flu3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>It's a first for the Taylor family...we are suffering with our first bout of the flu since we have had kids. Jacob has the flu, Mark is showing serious signs, and now Morgan is running a fever. Nice. Do you know how much flu medicine costs? Even with a co-pay? A LOT. It really stinks. If the flu is the worse we have to deal with right now, bring it on. We have a couple at church who lost their baby boy. He was one of a set of triplets, and he had fought his entire 7 months of life. His body just wasn't strong enough. What a devastating time for the family - please offer up a prayer for them. They were blessed with five beautiful boys - one of which is now with God. I am so thankful for the healthy children that I have.</div><br /><div>On a nicer note, tomorrow is Mark's birthday. He will be 36 - what an old man. I cannot believe he is that old. 36 doesn't seem as old as it used to be though! I just still imagine Mark as a 20 year old I guess! He acts much younger, huh?!</div><br /><br /><div></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-30203479308440599332009-01-28T14:47:00.001-06:002009-01-28T14:49:21.640-06:00We are still here<span style="font-size:130%;">No, we didn't drop off the face of the planet - our computer fried :( We have no internet access at home, so no new pictures or posts.

I guess I need to start saving some money because I need better pictures of my kids playing ball. I will give you what I've got, but don't judge my pictures! The lighting inside the gyms stinks! Yesterday marked our first 3-basketball game day in the Taylor family with Jacob playing now too! Mark is still coaching Haleigh and now Jacob. We turned Morgan over to a new coach this year - she is feeling a little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">weird</span> with someone other than Mark, but I am hoping she ends up liking it okay. She really wants to quit, but I think yesterday's game boosted her confidence a little. She is so worried about messing up and disappointing someone (her coach), but we tried to reassure her that he is sort of a "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">yeller</span>" in general and that it is not solely focused on her. We'll see how it goes, I guess. If she can't handle it now, she really won't be able to handle it when it comes Middle School time. She had a great game though and played great defense. She even scored 4 points, so she was really happy. Her coach even told her at practice that she has the best looking shot, so that's a plus for her (and it make her smile)! She needs that kind of feedback - not the other!<br /></span><div><br /></div><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">Okay, we'll start off with Haleigh's game since it was first. She did great. I was a little worried about her being able to keep up with the bigger girls (the 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> graders) and the full court, but she did awesome. She was all pumped up about being able to steal the ball this year. She loved it, and she said that it was all she thought it would be. She had A LOT of steals, and she scored 6 points. Her team won 30-10. Way to go Haleigh!

I didn't post any pictures of Christmas, and I don't think I will because I have so many pictures, and they don't really mean anything to you guys. However, we had a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Christmas</span> with our family and friends - the only thing that would of made it better would have been my family from Colorado being here too (or us being there). I am just glad that we were able to be with them for Thanksgiving this year. My family, like many of yours I'm sure, draw names for Christmas gifts. My little sister <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rebecca</span> had me this year. She's not actually "little" anymore; she will turn 27 on January 1st, but I still think of her as little. The box that came from her was little, so I knew it was jewelry. I'm not really a jewelry person, but I was willing to give it a chance! When I opened it on Christmas Day, this is what I saw...</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285610523586572322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AzILRgt2sw3bMjoARejgnJOaTzyoeMZBvZFJJZeyRqnT9W8iVpowTN4PHW9VRL-R0k2XwvUdEOAEPAEnu3iPe-WmXEPdSC8GEsgr3pj3uGsYCTx2gaaVOaZwpfBqmdBtLtC-UVzGs4Y/s320/Time.jpg" border="0" /></span><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;">It is not a watch...it's a bracelet with several different watches on it. At first I was a little baffled. Why would she get me this? She told me she was getting me something that she saw a while back and thought it would be a good gift for me. Huh? As soon as I opened it I said "It's what I never have enough of". Well, the funny thing is, as soon as I saw it, I knew it was THE perfect gift for me. The reason this gift is perfect for me is because I speed through my life without slowing down. In a weird way, this bracelet is a reminder to me to slow down. Remember my near death experience I wrote about? Well, I have only shared with a few people that I really carry a lot of the responsibility in that situation for it being a near death experience for me. I was rushing to get to the post office because I needed to pick up a package. The post office closes at 4:30, and I have to work until 4:00 with a 20 minute drive to the post office. Do the math - I had 10 minutes to spare, but I was still following the van in front of me way to close. If I was following the "2 or 3 second rule" it would not have been so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">stinkin</span> scary for me (or as near death). I cried for a long time after that near accident, especially when I was with Mark at home. I realized that my rushing could have cost my husband a wife or my children a mom. Am I willing to give that up just so that the kids could have had their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Crocs</span> that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">particular</span> day? Would my kids care more about getting their <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Crocs</span> that day (even though it would've been the 3rd day in a row I didn't make it to the post office), or would they rather have their mom? The answer was easy - they wanted their mom. Funny thing, when I made it home, they only asked about me. Was I okay? They didn't even mention their package? I never did make it to the post office that day, and they were okay with that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Why am I in such a rush? </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">What is so important that it can't wait a few minutes or even a few days?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Why do I feel the need to rush, rush, rush?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Why can't I sit still?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Why do I always have to be doing something?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">What am I afraid of? Running out of time? </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">My resolution for this new year is this --- slow down and enjoy my time. Enjoy the time I have with my family, enjoy the time I have with my friends, enjoy my time alone with God (be still and know), enjoy sitting and reading a book without feeling like something else needs to be done, etc.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">I have worked on that a little this break. The first few days at home without school was hard for me. I was thinking that there is no way that I can be home for 2 weeks without something major to do. What were we going to do if we weren't planning lessons, packing lunches, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">catching</span> the bus, etc. Well...I was determined to do something I wanted to do. I have read four books, and not really cared about what I am going to teach when I get back to school. I have spent time at the movies with my family and not cared about cleaning the house. I have slept in with my kids in my bed...that is a true gift. Baby steps that will hopefully lead to more that I can give.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">I am thankful that God works in mysterious ways - I think He somehow led my sister to get me that bracelet as a reminder. I will wear it often to remind me of my time - it is important to those in my life (my husband, my kids, God, my church family, my friends, my family, my students). I will spend my time more wisely, and I will not rush through my life.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;">Happy New Year.</span></p>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-9412654671432489122008-12-10T20:29:00.003-06:002008-12-10T20:42:13.708-06:00Near Death Experience<span style="font-size:130%;">Have you ever had a near death experience? I can now say that I have, and let me just say, it was the most frightening experience of my life. I don't want to have another one of those experiences, ever. I was coming home from work on Monday on 730 (between Boyd and Decatur) when I witnessed a head on collision. I was directly behind one of the cars involved, and I nearly missed being in the accident myself. I tried to avoid contact, so I swerved off to the right side of the road. I was going too fast to do something like this, but I thought that it would be a better idea than ramming the guy in front of me in his rear with my car. In doing this, my car swerved, spun, and finally came to a stop in the opposite lane, facing the opposite direction. So, even though I was going north on 730, when it was all said and done, I was facing south on 730. I don't know how it all happened, but I know that there was an angel controlling my car and keeping me safe (I know it wasn't my ability to do so). I firmly do believe that something else was with me at that moment. My car was not involved in the accident, thankfully, but I will never forget that day. I am thankful to God that I am here today because my thoughts during that moment were that my big <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ol</span>' SUV was going to flip and that I was going to die. I am thankful that the two men involved were not too seriously injured, and I rejoice in the fact that I was not. Praise God, and thank God for his angels - you never know when and where they are going to be.</span><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 280px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://sanityfound.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/angel03-800y-thumb.jpg" border="0" />Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-69341309372199428832008-12-03T17:33:00.007-06:002008-12-03T18:05:59.027-06:00Colorado TripWe went to Colorado for a week for Thanksgiving, and here are a few pictures from our trip.

I can't wait to see the mountains. People ask me all the time how I could live in Texas if I am from Colorado. Well, you will do crazy things for love I guess. Home is were my husband is! Morgan has a volleyball tournament on Saturday, but I think they will be out in the first round, so I guess we'll head out some time Saturday or Sunday morning. I can't wait to see my family - it has been since last September that I saw my little sister in Seattle. It's been almost a year since we have seen my brother or my other sister and her family. My parents were here for Haleigh's ballet recital, but it has still been a while since I have seen them. I haven't seen my "extended family" since...well, I honestly can't remember the last time I saw any of them. So, it will be nice to go home for a week. I can't wait to be able to watch the Broncos play on TV. The stations in Colorado actually play the Bronco games :) Here is a picture of Ft. Collins.</span><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 335px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.fortcollinshomesguide.com/img/fort-collin1.jpg" border="0" /></span></div></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-70939481994400790192008-11-11T19:33:00.004-06:002008-11-11T20:06:24.129-06:00Just Catching Up<a href="http://lazydaisylog.grrrlmeetsworld.com/uploaded_images/image0022-721258.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 330px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 246px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://lazydaisylog.grrrlmeetsworld.com/uploaded_images/image0022-721258.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">I haven't posted for a while, so I guess I should say something. However, I have no new pictures to post, but I thought I would post a cute joke (above). We have been very busy. We have been busy with volleyball, and now Morgan has also started basketball practice. Haleigh and Jacob are about to start b-ball too, so we will be really busy every weekend! We have two more weeks of volleyball, and I am eager for that to end because basketball is a little more exciting to me! This will be Jacob's first time to play something, so we are excited for that. It will be fun to watch him play! Haleigh is thrilled because she is now at an age where she will be able to steal the ball (legally). Last year she did it a couple of times but was called for it. She is ready for the big game - the 3rd and 4th grade league is so much better because they get to play full court and, of course, they get to steal. The kids are all doing very well in school. The girls have great grades, and Jacob is still practicing his reading. He loves it. He will be so ready for kindergarten. He asked me last night when he will be able to go to kinder. since he turned five. Sorry...September birthdays are killer! It will happen too soon for me. I think I am ready for my kids to stop growing.</span><br /><br /><div><p align="left"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 301px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.imageenvision.com/md/stock_photography/basketball_cartoon_character_with_welcoming_open_arms.jpg" border="0" /></p><div><span style="font-size:130%;">All is well with me and Mark. I had my first evaluation last Monday and got my results this week. I was happy with how it went, and I was even happier with the comments my prinicpal gave me. I'll tell you what - it is really hard having a full time job. I think I have been doing okay, but it sure is a change for me and my family. I am thankful that I have such a good and supportive family! Mark is still really enjoying his new job at TARGA. It is a great company to work for, and we are so thankful that the opportunity was there for him. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">The puppies are growing -- they are so big. They finally opened their eyes, and they are walking. They are so cute to watch. They slip when they walk - too cute. If you are interested in a VERY CUTE puppy please let me know. They will be ready to go to a loving home in about 2 weeks. I KNOW YOU WANT ONE!!!!!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Well, we have a new president. Interesting, huh? It didn't quite go the way I wanted, but I am optimistic about the fact that our country made history. We'll have to see how it all turns out...only time will tell. </span></div><div><br /></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 235px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 330px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://whoisbarackobama.name/who-is-barack-obama.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-size:130%;">Talk again soon!</span></div>Melissa Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14225289226273906740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070651142107839426.post-79856366007706120852008-11-01T17:36:00.009-05:002008-11-01T21:24:22.896-05:00Halloween Fun<span style="font-size:130%;">We had a fun Halloween.
