Taylor and Shawn Carpenter

Taylor and Shawn autographed a script (with the help of their mom) in mid-1999. They'll be signing on their own in no time.

Taylor and Shawn (seen here) have become very close friends with Chelsea Butler and Eric (seen here) and Brandon Billings. During the days John and Marlena's wedding was filmed, the five children played together most of the day, taking just a bit of time out for resting. {photo courtesy Nancy Lewis}

Shawn {l} and Taylor {r} both got a chance to shine at the wedding of John and Marlena. As Sami was walking up the aisle Will said "Hi, mommy." Shawn whispered it and Taylor was very proud when he said it.

Shawn watched as Brandon Billings {Brady} and Chelsea Butler {Belle} walked down the aisle. Shawn was looking all over, making sure not to miss a thing.

Will sat with his Uncle Austin during the wedding.

Sami was her mother's maid of honor. John and Marlena called Sami their "rose" Will {Shawn} watched as Sami went up to the altar. He even moved around Carrie so he could see.

Shawn looked like he was awake during most of the wedding, but he wasn't. At one point during the wedding taping Shawn was fast asleep. Austin Peck didn't mind he just watched Shawn sleep.

Will {Shawn} clapped along with all the other cast members as John and Marlena kissed.

Will {Taylor} sat and took family pictures with Sami and Uncle Austin. They may not be a family by blood, but they do a lot of family things together.

Sami and Will sat and watched everyone dance. Shawn was more interested in watching Brandon {Brady} and Chelsea {Belle} dance.

Shawn was given a lift by Peter Reckell and Eric Billings was held by Josh Shawn during the garter throwing scene.

Will {Shawn} was one of the little bachelors that went up to catch the garter. Little did anyone know that Shawn really did catch it and the scene had to be retaped.

Shawn is shown here in a photo that was featured in SOU. Taylor was quoted in SOU as saying the dearest words. "A princess, Ali. It's a pricness," in reference to his onscreen Grandma Marlena.

During the summer of 1999, Paige (R) and Ryanne (L) Kettner {Abby} came to visit some of the people who work behind the scenes. While there, they ran into Taylor (L) and Shawn (R). Although the four didn't interact much on Days, Abby and Will are first cousins.

Taylor and Shawn celebrated their fourth birthday on September 6, 1999. They had a party on the set. Taylor sat to the right of Alison and Shawn to the left. {photo on right courtesy Nancy Lewis}

Their fellow cast members seemed to enjoy the party, even donning party hats for the event. Back row (l-r): Austin, Arianne Zucker, Brittany Lee Carr, Front row: Shawn, Alison, Taylor and Bryan. {photo courtesy Nancy Lewis}

One more picture of the boys enjoying their birthday party on the set. Shawn looks like he is taking in all the action, while Taylor is looking at something or someone off to the side.

As the show was being taped at the studio, Taylor and Shawn were suddenly drawn to the TV in Tom Langan's office (Executive producer, headwriter, on left). They were very focused, watching the fight scene between John and Stefano. {photo courtesy Nancy Lewis}
