New Year's Eve Snowmobiling

We had the chance to get out and do some snowmobiling with Bill and Paige on New Year's Eve. It was a perfect day and we had a lot of fun. We decided to go kind of last minutes and so we decided just to take Taylor along instead of trying to find her a sitter. Needless to say, it got a little crowded with the three of us on one sled!! But we found an awesome meadow and spent most of our time taking turns on the sleds and so there wasn't too much time spent doubled or tripled up!!

We unfortunately forgot Taylor's coat back at Rob's grandpa's house, so she was bundled up in a fleece of Bill's and Rob's shell. She did amazingly well and only complained at the end of the trip, after having been out for 2 hours already. She kept falling asleep on the ride back to the car!

Merry Christmas

Santa Clause came to our ward Christmas party and Taylor got a chance to meet him. You can tell from the picture...that she is soooooooo excited!! She wasn't scared at all to go to him, but wasn't excited at all either. The look of indifference that is on her face in this picture is how she looked the whole time...well, until she got her candy!!
Taylor likes to shut herself in the hall bathroom without the lights on. (She still can't open doors!!) So Rob decided that she needed a light!! We couldn't get it away from her and she had a wonderful time shutting herself in the bathroom for another 20 minutes!

Winter Wonderland

So we were supposed to have the "Storm of the Century" a few days ago...and it was an utter disappointment!! Nothing even stuck to the ground! But this morning we woke up to a couple of inches of snow!! Rob has meetings all morning, so Tay and I got bundled up and headed outside!

Taylor has really started to enjoy being read to. I caught her on the couch a few days ago reading her favorite book!!

Halloween

It's kind of sad to admit, but I got the idea for our costumes because Rob and I have been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros on the Wii! We had to bribe Tay to wear her toad hat!! She loved all the candy that it earned her!!

Catch-Up

Here are some fun random pics of Tay.

It's a Girl!!

A couple of weeks ago, we had our 20 week ultrasound. We decided to take Taylor with us since it was at 7:30 in the morning. She was pretty good for most of the ultrasound, but was beginning to get a little restless...until this image came onto the screen. All of the sudden, she came to life! She stook up on Rob's lap and started pointing and yelling at the screen. I guess that she recognized her little sister!!

Summer Catch-Up

I can't believe how fast the summer months have flown by!! For those of you who haven't heard, we're expecting baby #2 and are really excited!! I spent most of the month of July on "bed rest" because of a rip in a low placenta that caused some bleeding. The baby has now grown big enough that the placenta is moving up to where it should be and I have been able to get back to normal life!!
We had planned a trip to San Francisco with some friends, but with the bed rest, ended up cancelling. Instead we got to go and visit my parent in Casper. We had lots of fun and got to go camping at Natural Bridge. Taylor loves camping...and loves corn cobs!

Saturday we decided to get some shooting in. I haven't shot a gun in many years!! It was fun to get out and shoot. My shoulder was a little sore from the 12 gauge! :)

Grandma preffered to sit and take it all in!

I was glad that I could still hit a few skeet!!

Taylor went to play with her friend Addison so that we could go to the temple with BJ and his fiancee Paige. While there, Addison was taking a bath and her mom stepped away to grab something ... well, to her surprise...Taylor was in the bath with Addison upon her return!! My little girl loves water!!

I thought that I would include this picture!! My little girl is not a baby anymore!! She loves to let me make her hair pretty with little pig tails!! She's growing up fast and will be a great big sister!
