Yosemite

So during our trip to Tahoe (pics to come) we decided to make a day trip to Yosemite National Park. So after about three hours in the car we got to this scenic lookout. You can kinda see half-dome in the background. They had a telescope set up that you could look and see ant sized climbers making their way up the face of it.

Taylor did not really enjoy having Grandpa's hat on...but she does really enjoy Grandpa. This is when we stopped for lunch and she was totally content to sit on his lap and watch him eat!

This is on a little hike that we took to the Sequoia Grove. It was only a mile...one mile down and the whole way down I was sweating the thought of a whole mile back up...but it ended up not being that bad. Taylor was really good and loves being in the front pack with Dad.

The trees where huge!! I took a little turn with Taylor!! Only long enough to see a couple of the trees and then I didn't fight very hard when Rob offered to carry her back up the trail to the car!! Here is a pic to give you a little idea of how big the trees are!

Johnny Jump-Up

Rob decided that Taylor was big enough for the Johnny Jump-Up... I honestly don't remember how old she was...but I would say a month a a half max!! Look at those skinny legs!


Let's just say that she fits it a little better at 3 months!! She loves it. She just spins in circles and drools all over my floor!!

Cedar City - Aunt Jenna's House

Jenna bought a house a little while ago and we finally had a free weekend to go down and visit! Taylor was not willing to cooperate with the picture taking. We were able to leave Orem early and get to Cedar in time for diner.





It took us a little while to get going in the morning! You would think that we were bored or something. . . I honestly don't remember how the pants ended up on her head, but it did make a pretty cute picture!! :)






We headed to a part of Zions Park that is closer to Cedar City. We thought that it would be appropriate to take Taylor on her first hike on the trail named Taylor Creek. It was a beautiful hike and a fun time. We had some cloud cover for part of the hike but the rest of it was pretty hot!! Here are some pictures of the scenery!!



This has to be one of the cutest pictures in the world!! ( I know that I'm a little biased!) We were using Jenna's wrap to keep Taylor out of the sun and cool as we hiked and at lunch it turned into a little head wrap!!






Feeding time on the way back to the car!! She wouldn't eat when we stopped for lunch...but about half way back to the car she wanted to eat!!

Taylor's 3 Month B-day!!

Time seriously is flying so fast!! I can't believe that my little girl is 3 months old...but on the other hand it almost feels like she has always been here with us!! She rolled over for the first time a couple of days ago and is moving and talking more and more each day!!

4th of July Weekend - Tay's First Camping Trip

So we decided to finally go on a camping trip...we've been trying to all summer.

We took off with a loaded car, seriously loaded. Lauren, Nick, and I all had stuff at our feet and in our laps!! Rob even tried stacking things on Tay but I put a stop to that! :) We drove to Heber and headed up the mountain...could not find anything...headed over the mountain to Strawberry Lake....could not find anything....headed over the mountain toward Spanish Fork Canyon...

Not all the roads were very user friendly...this is the one that finally got us to our spot

3 hours in total until we found the perfect spot.

Then we set up camp and got dinner ready...

I was worried about Taylor getting cold..so we
bundled her up good. This is how we found her come morning!

Overall, I think Taylor loved the experience...well at
least her mother thoroughly enjoyed the weekend away!

I finally gave in!!

After talking to my friend Wendy and hearing about everyone who is blogging...I decided to give in and join the club. Besides, I'm horrible at journal writing and this will help Taylor have some sort of idea what was going on when she was a baby! Here are some pics of our recent trip to Utah Lake...

Isn't she so dang cute?!?!?! She slept the whole time!

I actually had to try and rouse her to get her to eat!!

I was hungry and it looked like a good plate! :)


Taking a mid-afternoon nap with Daddy...well Daddy is sleeping!
