My drummer boy!!

Wow, I love him! And wow, he loves to drum! Steve's band had a gig tonight - they played for an employee party for Payson Wal-Mart. It was at the city park in Payson (which happens to be his hometown). We packed up the drums and the girls in the van and headed down this afternoon.

It was fun, but the girls got bored on the swings and slides and since I am still recovering from a cold (Steve and I both are actually) I just didn't have the energy to run all over the park with them. Jessica and Alyssa got into an argument and Jessica pulled her "stop breathing while she cries so hard and black out for a second" trick on me. She's done it once before but she was in my arms before. This time, she was standing on the blacktop so she fell over backwards and whacked her head. It was not fun for a bit. Fortunately, we had small ice packs in the little cooler with go-gurts and chocolate drinks for Taylor. She sat on my lap for quite awhile after I got her calmed down but ended up running some more later. They did find a fun bridge and we got some fun pictures!
This is taken right after she landed a perfect score crossing the monkey bars - including skipping a bar once! Who would have guessed that Taylor would have been my dancer and least shy of the bunch!? Not me, that's for sure. She wanted to boogie up on stage! She was the only of my girls who actually dared it. She did some dancing and then some running around. This is as she was building up her nerves and moving up the stairs to the stage. She's stand with one foot on each step and dance and shake her little bum for a bit, and then she'd move up a step. It was really cute. Then she made it to the stage for a bit but was moving around so wildly none of my pictures turned out. : )
