Enjoy my everyday craziness! Feel free to play the video while looking. This is Ethan's favorite video This next picture is mainly why I dont use my nice camera around Ethan lately...I was trying to take a picture of him playing with his cars. He saw my camera and chucked his car at my head. That's my hand blocking the camera :) He is lucky he is so stinking cute

Ekkk! It's been months with out a post. Needless to say we have been busy around our house. I feel like a am juggling a million things. Taking care of the kids, Lawrence, the house, spending all Lawrence's money ;) oh and not to mention starting my own business! The blog has been put on the back burner as you can tell. I'm going to make sure to blog more often. So are you ready for a catch up for

Tooth Fairy

2011-10-13T12:02:00.000-04:00

Julia had a big day yesterday. She has had her adult teeth growing in behind her baby teeth for a couple of months now. Her dentist had warned me about "Shark teeth" at her last check up. Normally the baby teeth quickly fall out once the big teeth start moving their way up. I told Jules her dentist was just going to look at her teeth and tell us what we should do and then she would be able

"Daddy, if you were in kindergarten with me I would play with you EVERY day. We would play at recess and centers together"-Julia I love her and how much she truly love her daddy :)

We are here...

I have been slacking on posting updates and pictures. I am actually started typing this post on my cell phone waiting for Julia's bus to show up. Ethan and I were jamming out to Raffy. Julia is LOVING school. I can only hope she loves it this much in 10 years. Today I dropped her off at school because I had to go to Lawrence's work and pick up his computer, he is home sick for the day. As

Oh Dam!

The best part of Julia's first week of school had to be when she was chosen from her class to read a book to the principle next month. She was very excited to be able to bring a book home and she was over the moon about being able to attend a tea party with the principal after they read the books. I get home and flip though the book and I see an immediate obstacle that Julia is going to have.

Favorite videos

2011-08-17T14:29:00.003-04:00

YouTube has great videos but if there is one video online that sums up our family it's this video. Seriously the dad reminds me of Lawrence so much :) This is an amazing video too! So funny :) This happens to be Julia's favorite video. Every time she watches it she cries because she laughs so hard.

Art work

Lawrence and I knew exactly what we were looking for when we bought our home. We both agreed on the layout that we liked and the rooms we wanted to have in our home. When we found the house we live in now he and I both knew it was perfect and had everything we wanted and more! The once "Formal Living" room has turned into a "Formal Playroom". I think it drives Lawrence nuts because I'll hear him

If you give a Juju a camera....

2011-08-11T21:49:00.004-04:00

She will take a ton of pictures! On our summer list of things to do we put go on a nature walk. Last night I gave Julia my old camera and told her that she can take as many pictures as she wanted. The only rule I told her was she was not allowed to take pictures of peoples houses. She got a kids digital camera for Ethan's birthday. How she ended up with presents on Ethan's first birthday is

Guest post!

2011-08-05T21:11:00.003-04:00

Every Blog I read these days have a guest post every once in a while. Since I don't promote anyone product, I don't review products and 99.9% of people that read this blog I know so I really don't have anyone to guest post...But wait I do! I have a five year old who talks and comments on everything under the sun. Without further adieu I give you Julia's first blog post. Her words 100%<!--[if gte

We got to take a weekend away this past weekend. It was much needed for all of us. Lawrence has been working a lot. He has been going to work early, getting home late and working at home. I have been home with the kids all day every day and the weather in Florida is so hot as soon as you walk outside you start to sweat. Add two very pale children to the mix we can only stay outside for 10

2011-07-26T20:22:00.003-04:00

I have been slacking on taking out my camera and shooting. I could think of a lot of different reasons but it's mainly because it's tough to get a good shot of Ethan. All he wants to do is grab my camera lens! So for now I have my phone pictures.Julia made a deal with Lawrence a couple of weeks ago that if she could identify and tell him how much its worth then she could keep all the change he

Playdate

2011-07-17T10:41:00.002-04:00

Celeste and I decided we should take the kiddos to the park last week. I don't know what we were thinking! It was so hot, the kids had fun even though their cheeks were red, their shirts were sticking to them and they had sand all over their bodies. Celeste and I were not as thrilled with the park idea we both decided next playdate will be in the a\c.In other news, I spent hours outside yesterday

Our summer

2011-07-10T22:38:00.000-04:00

For the 4th of July this year we made sure to stay home. E is terrified of loud noises! When Tiffany barks he cries and cries. Not small tears but big "please save me from this beast" tears. So the combination of keeping him up hours past his bedtime and then trying to get him to look at things that are making scary noises... it wouldn't have been fun. So we did what we loved grilled yummy food,

Our week in pictures

2011-07-06T12:27:00.003-04:00

Ethan has been using sing language for the past couple of months. Its awesome for him to communicate to us. The left picture is him wanting more food, the picture on the right is what he does when he is done eating. He has a sign for milk but I have not caught that with my camera yet. Have I even mentioned how smart our little boy is?He also eats with a spoon! He is very sophisticated for a one

Happy 4th of July

We hope you and your family have a happy 4th of July!Tiffy had one too many dog treats ;)Love, The Taubs

Mahjong

2011-07-04T06:00:00.002-04:00

Julia has a new favorite game. It's not your normal 5 year old game. You would think she would love games like "Go Fish" "Uno" or "Candyland" nope not Juju she has a love for Mahjong. She is like a fifty year old Jewish woman trapped in a five year old's body. Who better to help Juju out with her Mahjong skills then Grandma Diane!Jules is going to visit Grandma Diane this summer. She is looking

Tree branches

2011-07-03T06:00:00.000-04:00

Julia has a couple of jobs to do around the house. She has to clean her room, clean the playroom, and pick up the fallen tree branches. A couple of weeks ago while showing grandma Diane how she rides her bike she found a new way to pick up the branches.Diane and I were in the front of the house waiting for her to come from the side of the house. It was taking Jules a while to come back, I figured

One day

2011-07-02T10:04:00.005-04:00

One day I am sure I will miss the total chaos in our home. It's really hard to tell myself "enjoy this" when I'm in the middle of a crazy day. I get told "Oh enjoy them now!! They are precious little angles" every time I go to Publix.The old women with white hair love seeing me come down the isles. Julia twirling down the isle instead of walking normal begging to get gummy snacks, Ethan trying to

Oh Julia

2011-06-23T04:00:00.005-04:00

It's funny to hear some of the craziness that comes out of Julia's mouth. I can not imagine what is going on in her head. Here are some of her latest quotes.A couple of weeks ago she got in trouble for making a very loud spitting sound at me. She was being punished originally for slamming the door, as I was walking away from her room from the first punishment I could hear her making it. I marched

Good Morning

2011-06-22T08:05:00.002-04:00

Ethan wakes up before Julia. He works really hard to make sure she wakes up soon after him. He bangs toys, screams, and he checks her door to see if it was left open. When Julia gets up Ethan is very happy to see her, he always gives her a hug and a big kiss. It always starts the morning out nice. Soon after the screaming starts, the temper tantrums begin and I start drinking coffee to keep up.

Lawrence is the backbone to our family. He is the one providing for all of us. We live a very comfortable life thanks to his hard work and dedication. We have the home I have always dreamed about, he makes sure we are saving for a collage education for both of our children, and a retirement for us.He works full time and also goes to school to get his PhD. With all those things on his plate he is

I have been working on it for the past couple of days and I am not done. So please excuse the mess :)

What we are up to these days.

2011-06-15T21:59:00.003-04:00

Lately our family has not had a lot to do. It's nice to not have plans to be somewhere or do something, to be able to sit back and relax. Two weekends ago the only thing I needed to do for the day was to go to Publix and make dinner. It was amazing :) Julia watched "My Little Pony" with Lawrence. She explained all the characters to him "Oh daddy, Rainbow dash does this, Twilight is purple" After
