Say what you want about Utah...I think it is one of the most beautiful states!
The last couple sundays we've packed up the grill and headed to the mountains. We set up camp in a little place called "Ledgemere" .
I guess that rushing near by creek is pretty soothing to some!.JPG)
It's nice that we can "get a way from it all" without having
to drive too far away from home!.JPG)

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!). .JPG)

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.

a neat experience non the less...HIZAH!.JPG)

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!

We had a very special day yesterday~ Taylee received a Blessing & Given name by her daddy. She was a little fussy at first, but daddy knew what to do to calm her down..JPG)
Thank you to all who came to share this day with us, we love and appreciate you! We have such great families and friends who truely bless our lives.
Happy Mothers Day to all of you wonderful mothers!
I am so greatful for the beautiful gift of motherhood,
on my first mothers day.
It is the most amazing transformation a woman can have, a selfless gift I am greatful to know.
I want to thank all of the mom's I have known ~ you are an example to me.
Thank you for the love and support, and especially for all of you're advise!
But most of all...a huge Thank you to my best friend, My mom. I love you so much. I can only hope to be half the mother you've been to me.
Uncle Scott has been called to serve in the Tennesse Knoxville Mission and we were able to go to the MTC to say good-bye. It was really neat to see all those little boys off to serve the Lord. Best of Luck Scott-we love you! See you when I'm bigger, much bigger.
Lars would've liked to have a boy first to "protect" any future daughters he might have...but since we had a girl first this concept has changed. Luckily Taylee has cousins to watch out for her, and believe me Aidan is definately all over that. We had a BBQ at uncle Jason's house on Sunday-any little peep from Taylee and Aidan was right by her side to comfort her and offer her the binky! He really loves her! Thanks for the story time Aidan... Jayden knows how little girls are already so his interest wasn't quite the same as AJ's ;)
I saw this on another blog and thought it was kind of fun...check it out if you'ld like to-it's short and sweet.

 Like ginger, you are a total shape shifter. You can be sweet, spicy, mellow, or overpowering. You are both soothing and unique. You are popular... yet you are often overlooked. |
