Abby's First Birthday 09.01.08

Taylor's 4th Birthday 08/26/08

Taylor's birthday was obviously a while ago, but I still have to document this important event in his life! I'm just a little behind! Taylor had a wonderful birthday with his family and friends. He had a special birthday breakfast, he played all day long, and he had his favorite dinner made by the famous "Wendy's"! He also had some of his Aunts, Uncles, and cousins come to a party that night. We ate car cake and ice cream and had a car pinata! We all had a really good time. I coudn't believe that he was already turning 4! It is amazing how fast time flies. I am very proud of Taylor and I love that he has such a zest for life. He doesn't let any moment pass him by. He also loves to learn and loves to make people laugh! Here are some of the things Taylor likes at the great age of 4!

• His favorite color is green.


• His favorite animals are the ones I don't like: snake, crocodile..


• His favorite car is Chick Hicks


• Favorite things to do are color, jump on the trampoline, and ride his bike


• Favorite foods are yogurt, lasagna, popcorn, and apples


• He loves to play games.


• Favorite breakfast is on Saturday: "sugar cereal day"


• He loves preschool.


• He still loves cars!

Catching Up!

So, I know that I am such a slacker. I mean obviously I haven't updated our blog in such a long time! Let me just say that for some reason once September came life just went ahead in full speed.I didn't take the time to write about all of the wonderful things and events that have happened in our family over the past couple of months. So, here I am.

Taylor started preschool and he absolutely loves it. He has wonderful teachers, Miss Tammie and Miss Brenda who put so much work and love into teaching those preschool children. This is a picture of Tay on his first day of school. He was so excited and as for me, I was so happy for him but I was so sad when I dropped him off. I couldn't believe that my baby boy was growing up. Ok, I admit I did cry a little bit, but only because I missed my sweet boy.

Salisbury Reunion

Fun at Lagoon

Jensen Reunion

At the end of June we went to the Jensen reunion and camped in the Uintah mountains. We used our 6 man tent for the first time, and let me just say that is a lot nicer than a 3 man tent! Luckily we didn't run into any mountain lions this time. The kids had a lot of fun hanging out with all the cousins. We had Ladderball tournaments, rode Brett's horse, and visited with everyone.

Taylor loved camping. Here he is showing how happy he is because what boy wouldn't love being able to play with all of those sticks in the mountains!

It is amazing how much fun kids can have with just dirt and sticks. The girls decided to make dirt pies and boy did they get messy! Since there was no running water we had to clean them off. Those dirt pies sure looked yummy!

One of the best parts of camping is sitting by the campfire, and the kids cuddled up to Aunt Becky and Grandpa George. Abby and Teague fell right asleep in Grandpa's arms-they sure look peaceful. Grandpa did a good job helping us get the kids to sleep!

Both Nyah and Alayna sat on Becky's lap- you couldn't find those two without each other. They love their Aunt Becky.


It was fun to see everyone at the reunion. We had a really good time, however we hope that next time we go camping our girls won't have so many poopy diapers!
