Gorgeous Works of Art

I'm so excited and extremely proud to introduce you to my father's work of art!  His name is Timothy Dwight Taylor and he has created some beautiful landscapes and architectural artwork. 

 

So, if you could do me a huge favor!!  I think he needs to open an Etsy shop and share these with the world.  He would also like to print these up into greeting cards.  What do YOU think?  We would love your feedback.  Let me know what you think of Daddy's work and if something like Etsy would be a good idea!

Thanks so much!

 

Blessings, 

 

 

 

 



Seaside Pictures

 

Doing this post made me sooo want to go back to Seaside!  We had such a relaxing time with nothing to do but take naps and look at the ocean.  Hope you enjoy the pics!

This is the downtown shopping district.  So many restaurants and shops.  

Oh my heavenly goodness!  Isn't this tree gorgeous?

 

 

A beautiful home right in the middle of the square.  Such a pretty porch

This church was beautiful!

This was the cutest and smallest Post Office I think I've ever seen!

 

Hope you all have a blessed week!

 



Our trip to Seaside Florida

I can honestly say our summer has been a full blown crazy summer!!!  Between packing and moving we needed a vacation.  The only problem was, our vacation, that had been planned and booked since February, fell 2 weeks before we had to move.  Talk about stressful!!  Packing for a 7 day trip and packing to move into a new home was not fun.  But, once we got on the road, we were all about it!

 

My parents and my sister and her family came along with us and we had such an amazing and relaxing time!  We rented a absolutely GORGEOUS house about a 8-10 minute bike ride from the beach.  You will completely drool over this house!!  We were so blessed to get to stay in something so nice.  It was like we stepped in to a photo shoot of Pottery Barn.  We found this lovely place on VRBO.com and if you want more details on it just let me know.  So, enjoy some pics of our lovely vacation home!

Incredible, right?  We couldn't have asked for a nicer vacation home.  We were in awe the entire week!!  I'll show you around Seaside next week.  Have a very blessed week!




Kailey's First Dance

Kailey had her very first dance tonight and she was so excited!!  I think I was more excited than she was, but of course I had to contain myself.  I couldn't "embarrass her!" 

Thanks to our sweet friend Lucy, she wore this beautiful dress, that I didn't have to spend a dime on!!  Yippee!!  Thank you Miss Lucy



I know what you're thinking.  WHY is she wearing converse style shoes with that beautiful dress?!!  Why oh why!!?  Because it's super cute and trendy, that's why.





It definitely wasn't my first choice, but a lot of the girls in 7th grade wore Toms or Converse, and we happened across this cute gold pair and couldn't resist them!



Kailey's sweet and beautiful friend, Shelly



It doesn't seem real that she can be 13 and in the 7th grade!!



Some of her friends met at Chick Fil A for dinner and pics.  They felt silly in their pretty little dresses eating at a fast food place. 



Olivia, Kailey and Shelly

Before I know it, her Senior prom will be here.  I'm so very proud of my little girl.  She is growing up to be a very intelligent, caring and beautiful young woman.  Now, I am off to bed to cry a little while I think of her as a toddler sucking her thumb with her blankie.

Blessings to all,
