FAMILY: Time...Where does it go?

7.18.2008

I am the worst blogger on the planet. My life has been so crazy these days. I don't know how any woman can survive this working mom thing, I have shed so many tears. Taylee is now almost 4 months old...I know. Those 3 months I was home with her went by so fast. I've been back to work for 2 weeks (really only 9 days) and it has felt like eternity. AAAHHHH!

We really lived up the last few weeks of maternity leave. I have 3 biological brothers, (and 5 step & half bro's-that's why I specify), Jason (32), Brian (29),and then Kyle (23)...and our birthdays go in that order too. Starting June 18th-Jason, June 21-Brian, June 28-Me, and July 8-Kyle. This year we spent our birthdays swimming in the back yard of my brothers house (well watching the kids swim,anyway-nobody is seeing me in a suit for a VERY long time!).

That's right every week for 4 weeks, good quality family time.

HIZAH! HIZAH! HIZAH!
Have you heard of Lavender Days? It was pretty cool. On June 27th we went to Mona, Utah (about 20 min south of Provo) to celebrate Lavender! Exciting?! You may think not...but they had a fun little fair there.
Complete with Robbers and Ropin' Lessons...

Faries for the girlies,

a Knighting for the boys,

and we ended with Jousting,
not quite as exciting as "A Knights Tale" - but
a neat experience non the less...HIZAH!

Taylee is truely a princess...she won the heart of a Knight!

Well...we had a blast and I think that's a long enough post for now!

Taylee is very terrified of mascots. While at a SL Real game, she tells us she's begining to love Leo the mascot for the team. Lars asks, "Would you still love him if he was sitting in the seat next to you?"

Taylee: "Uh, Dad, I don't love him that much!"

Don't believe what they say about the terrible two's, 3 is worse so far...miss attitude is starting to show, for instance:

Dady asked Tay to do something and of course she was being defiant.

Daddy: "Stop saying No to me!"

Taylee: "but I didn't say No, I said uh-uh!"

Presenting Taylee's toothbrush puppet show:

Tay toothbrush: "Can you please help me daddy?"

Daddy toothbrush: "I can't honey. I'm tall and know everything!"

Tay has been asking for a baby brother. We try to explain that we hope to have another baby, but not for a little while longer. We went to visit a neighbor who has a newborn baby boy. When we got home she asked,

"Mommy, if we can't have a baby brother can we buy one?"

While in the playground with Grammy Tay sees a toy alligator in the sandbox, and say's: "I like snakes, Grammy, but I don't like lizards."

Grammy: "Why don't you like lizards?"

Tay: "Because the don't like me."

9/22/10

Mom: "Should we go take daddy to lunch?"

Excitedly Tay replies, "YEAH!"

Mom: "What resteraunt should we go to?"

Tay: "Chick-a-laflay" (Chick-fil-A)

Mom: "I think we should go to Subway & get sandwiches."

Tay: "Girls don't eat sandwiches, girls eat chicken nuggets."

Tay goes to Aly (5 mo) while she's in the swing and puts her hands on her sister's head. Mom gives a warning to be nice.

Tay: "Shh, Mom! I'm giving her a blessing...I'm giving you a blessing, Amen."

Mom: "That is sweet, but it's not how it works."

We were talking about the Days of 47 Rodeo we had recently been to. Tay was telling us the horses and bulls kick off the cowboys and step on them. Then says:

"I don't ride bulls, I look at shoes!"

While driving in the car after Christmas shopping a car cut me off. Luckily I said, "Are you serious?!"

For the next several months Taylee repeated that! But it was definately much cuter when she said it!

Anna said...: I can totally sympathize with your feelings about going back to work. I cried so much when I started back at work. It wasn't pretty.

And happy belated birthday!; July 19, 2008 at 6:02 PM

Ok, so enough talking, we have to get together! Lets do dinner again! Get the holiday out of the way and lets get together next week!
I wish I could tell you it gets easier. It is so hard. I still cry when I send Tryston off.
Your little girl is freaking adorable! It is going to be hard for me to leave her when I see her :); July 21, 2008 at 10:20 AM
