Ariyona
TaylorOkay, so Thomas' cousins moved in by us. They have two adorable 14 year old girls, Taylor and Ariyona. They are actually cousins, but live together. We have been fortunate to get to know these girls better. They are cute, fun and really good girls and for some reason, they love hanging out with us. We love them to death. Thomas and I laugh that they keep us hopping. They want to talk and watch movies until early morning hours. They are so energetic and are constantly busy.

Friday night, we all went to Jake's swimming until 10pm, then they came home and wanted us to watch College Road trip with them, and then we talked for hours. Saturday morning we got up, went to the Science Center, to Mi Amigos for lunch and then to Josh's and Jake's birthday party. Afterwards, we had to run to Target. This morning, it is church and then a back to school get together for the girls tonight at our house. Crazy life! But, we love it.

I love Taylor and Ariyona. They start 9th grade tomorrow and are nervous and excited. It has been fun to talk to them and remember my first day of high school and all of the anxiety and excitement that comes with it. I am so glad I am done with all of those experiences.

Taylor and Ariyona are becoming a very important part of our lives. They are around a lot and we love it. Hayden thinks it is fun having the girls around. They are so good to him and he adores them. We were in the car yesterday and he drew them a picture that said, "Remember Hayden loves Taylor and Ariyona". So fun! So cute! We are love them.
