  • Thank you Dad

    Dear Dad, I wanted to say thanks for your help in making fried corn and bacon for my office's Thanksgiving potluck today. It turned out great. There was food to feed everyone 4 times over. After the eating, ballots were distributed and people voted for the best side dish, appetizer, salad and dessert (main course was provided by the company - turkey and ham). The Taylor's Fried Corn with Bacon was the clear winner for best side dish. I graciously accepted the $25 gift card on behalf of the...

  • Ramen a la Carte

    In our house we worship Ramen soup. All the kids have enjoyed it since they were babies, and this devotion has become more evident with Rachel and Andrew at the house while the big sisters are at school. For them it's as if they were eating candy! They're living in a self-inflicted, ramen-flavored, brainwashed state of mind. There are some good reasons for anyone to fall in love with it: it’s an easy recipe to follow, light to any cranky tummy, and very affordable to any family-size...

  • Habla Espanol 101 with Claire

    For the last few years, my mother has taught my siblings and I some Spanish at the end of the day. We call her an octopus because she always handled four of us at once and try to use her time wisely, all at the same time. And with any time that's left she manages to squeeze in some language classes. So far her favorite slot to use is during our bath time, right before dinner - because everyone is in one place and naked so there's not time or room to run around. Mom always makes us repeat...

  • Happy Halloween Too!

    Some snapshots from our Halloween fun. The pictures of me at work were taken right after I said, "I'm not sticking my head in there, that's disgusting." The kids were all vampires: Claire personified a scary Skeleton-Vampress Witch, Helen was a cute Spiderella Vampress, Rachel was a Spider-Vampress Princess (of course), and Andrew was Count Dracula himself. Clyde did a fine job face painting and they happily roamed the night looking for candy victims. We went to "Trunk-or-Treat"...

  • Parent's Homework... Check.

    Last Friday, Claire and Helen brought home a homework assignment for us. We (the parents) were suppose to put a few thoughts together about the dangers of harmful drugs and ways to encourage the kids to be their best without using them. We were assigned to write down these thoughts on cards they provided and send them back to school so they can be posted on a "Positive Statement Wall." Here are some of the ideas that Doug and I came up with: There is no drug in this world that can match...

  • October Surprise

    Jenny came to town for conference weekend. She knitted some hats for the girls while we listened to the Good News from Salt Lake. Andrew then used one of the hats to hold up a local 7-Eleven.

  • Fall Festival at the Arboretum

    Now that it's not a billion degrees outside we took the kids to spend a Saturday afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum. It is really an amazing place. We brought a picnic and spent hours exploring the many gardens, pumpkin displays, the pioneer village and more. Last year at this time we went with Jeff and Meredith's family. This year, although it was tough, we managed to still have a good time. When I stroll through this place I like to imagine it's my private backyard attached to my multi...

  • The Taylors: Super-Germs

    I did a project for school where I got to make a cartoon about what my life would be like as a germ. So I used MS Paint on Mommy's computer and told the story about how our family (good germs) fought against the bad germs in the throat. Enjoy!

  • Lure us out for dinner

    Dad sent the picture below to entice us over for dinner. Like Nacho placing chips to catch Esqueleto, he tricks us out into the open.

  • Kitchen Talks

    "I love you, Mommy!" Rachel whispered out of the blue. "What did you say?" I replied. I then saw this face. "I said, I love youuu!" Rachel replied. "And I would loooove an apple too!" It was about mid-morning so I agreed and she sat happily in the kitchen table to eat her snack. We talked about her sisters and how much she misses them when "they tickle me or tell me their school stories." As she was in the middle of her apple, she mumbled a little...

  • Remember Our Heroes!

    When the senseless and violent attacks happened seven years ago, terrorist s hoped to teach a lesson of hatred and bring American people (and the rest of the civilized world for that matter) to their knees. Their evil expectations: fear and chaos. Well it didn’t work and won’t work in the future . I come from a country with a weak , corrupted structure and have spent time in several similar countries. The leadership in these countries typically lacks sound judgment and fails to act in...

  • Snapshots from a toothless week - Part 2

    At last, SHE CAME! My Tooth Fairy came to our house. It took her days but she finally flew by my window and left not just one dollar but also the longest, cutest and smallest letter yet! I had to use a magnifying glass to read the tiny letters written on it. First I followed what my Daddy said by showing a lot of patience and waited for her for more than a week. Then I kept thinking that she was upset over my mistake: I forgot her "thank you" note. Oopsie Woopsie! But she actually had the...

  • Snapshots from a toothless week

    My Mommy already updated you about our life in Texas. She told you what happened in our sweet first 7 days of school, life at home with just the boy and Rachel and how we filled our tummies with delicious sea food and noodles at a baby shower. My sausages are still rumbling and tumbling from eating too many shrimps. Now it is my turn. Me, the animal lover Helen. In her last post she failed to mention the best part and biggest news: I lost my 2 top front teeth! I lost one tooth on the first day of...
