11 years old



Taylor is now 11, I can't believe it. He has moments he seems so old it blows me away. And then he will get upset and throw a little tantrum and I'll realize he really still is a little boy. But I guess that is how it supposed to work. This morning was Rick's half marathon. So after Rick got all showered and cleaned up we went to lunch at Chuck Arama. It is Taylor's favorite restaurant. It was fun. It is funny to watch how much some of the kids eat and what they choose. Anyway we had a good time and Taylor enjoyed it - we then went to the Bean Museum. Mom, Dad, Kevin and Tess where with us. We came home opened his presents and had some cake. For his birthday he got a compound bow. He was really excited. So we headed across the street to shoot it. He had a hard time pulling it back. I bought the one that had the lowest weight to pull back that I could find (40-80lbs). but he still had a really hard time getting up pulled back. Rick and Kevin had a good time shooting it. I tried it. I got it all pulled back and ready to let go when Rick said be really careful - if your elbow is locked it you will run the arrow right through your arm. That scared me so I just couldn't do it. Taylor had a good time shooting with the men.
