Elvis, Baby!

I just thought this picture was just too cute not to post it.

Have I told you how I have the most beautiful baby on the planet?!?

didn't she know i wanted a BABY!

I waited so long to finally have a baby...I know I was blessed with the most beautiful baby on the planet...what I mean is she is so stinking busy. She thinks she has to be so advanced. Her new thing is food. She wants whatever we have-not blended up, just straight off our plate. Do you blame her? It does look a lot more appetizing that way.
So tonight at dinner Daddy thought he would allow her to get what she wants...sort of. He held her hands back and she dove right in....


...seems to enjoy the strognoff.

Rogain for Babies????

So I am so sad to be posting this...Taylee was born with a ton of beautiful long dark, curly hair


At 2 months old, still has a lot of BeaUtiFUL hair...


And then...who knows what happened.

In about 2 weeks it migrated from her head to anywhere else :(
Good thing she's still beautiful, and has a good shaped head!

Family...Isn't it about time?

Five generations (of mothers)...


Can you believe Taylee was able to meet her Great,Great-Grandmother!



I am so blessed to have my Great-Grandmother. She is a brilliant, loving woman. My favorite is being able to hear her recollection of the last centry (well almost anyway). She can still recall her children, grandchildren, great & great,great-grandchildren's names with ease, and most of our birthdays! I'm hoping my mind will stay as sharp as hers.
Thank you for allowing us this opportunity Grandma! We love you!

I did it!

I gave into the craving ~ I am now a stay at home mommy! I am glad that things worked out for me to be able to stay home with my lil' bug. I still go into the Park City store on Tuesdays (Life saver...now I'm not Always talking "baby". Thanks to Janean for keeping this mom sane!)-again, I'm glad things worked out that way.

These are a few of our favorite things!

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!


It's nice that we can "get a way from it all" without having
to drive too far away from home!

Time...Where does it go?

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!
