Play Day!

Yesterday me and Taylor went down to Fruit Heights to see my mom and family. We went to lunch at the Bun Basket- next to the Rock Loft up on Mountain Road. Yummy! We all had Cheesy Potato soup. I can remember going to the Bun Basket back in High School. One time actually, I locked my keys in the car- and it was still running. Aimee reminded me of that one! I wanted to go to the Rock Loft too but I was worried I would be tempted to spend money. These days I feel like all I can afford is diapers and food. Pretty ironic huh!

Taylor got to see Adelaide while we were down there.

Me and Aimee talked babies while the two girlies grunted on their tummies. Aren't they so cute. They are about the same size too, and Addie is 5 weeks older. Taylor just has a couple more rolls I guess! It was nice to see Aimee and my family. We just don't see family as often as we would like.

After my mom made a delicious dinner I had to drive home in the snow storm- that I thought the weather man said was coming in on Wednesday!!! It took me about 45 minutes to get home. I used to not mind driving in the snow quite as much as I do now with a little baby in the back seat. But we made it home safe and sound in trusty ol' Mazda Protege!

Remembering President Hinckley

What a beloved man. I love President Hinckley very much. He has been the prophet through most of my most influential years- since I was 11 years old.

I have always loved to hear him speak, always feeling the spirit very strongly to hear and see him. What I loved most about him was his positive outlook and friendliness. I will never forget how through his guidance during a special youth fireside in 2001 I was impressed and inspired to change my life for the better because of his counsel to be humble, true, grateful, smart, clean, and prayerful. I am so thankful for a wonderful prophet like Gordon B. Hinckley. He has done so much for this church. I am so thankful and love temples so much. What a work he did to build so many temples.

I know it was a beautiful reunion last night with his sweet wife. We will miss him hear on earth though, won't we.

Home Body

Ok, So the days still seem to fly by when I keep myself busy around here but I can't wait to take Taylor outside and have some fun. I love all this snow we are getting but I don't like to stay inside so much because it is so cold out. Brody and I have attempted to take walks with Taylor all bundled up but she doesn't seem to like it outside. I think it is the brightness of the sun reflecting off of the snow. I don't blame her. It would be nice to get out a little more though. The ward moms have started a play day on Tuesdays every week so that will be fun. It is time for me to get started (again) on my scapbooking. I have made a goal to work on scapbooking for me and Taylor at least three times a week. I love to do it, it just takes a little ambition!
Well Taylor is finally starting to nap a little better these days. She still sleeps really good at night- up to 10 hours, but because she is still swallowing air during wake time she wakes up from naps early crying because she has to burb. It has been hard getting her figured out. She is so fun- I love being a mommy. And I am so thankful that I can stay home with her. Even if I have to be cooped up while she is so young. I love to hear her coo to herself and tell stories! She needs a little playmate- Aimee we need to get Addie and her together more often.

Well the 2 months have been great while it lasted without a calling in the ward. I was released from the YW Pres. when the boundaries in the Stake changed and now I just got called to Sports Director for the ward. This will be a fun calling too! Well I better go. It's time for Tay to eat.

Happy New Year!

Well it's 2008! I have not made any New Year's Resolutions yet. Hum, I am going to have to do that. The Holidays have been awesome. Brody and I have seen lots of both of our families. My mom's family had a party the Saturday before Christmas and Brody's mom's family got together on New Year's Eve. Now that was a fun night, and almost everyone slept over at the Jo and Ted's house too. Taylor just slept through most of the fun that night. She is a tired girl. She is getting more fussy during her wake time lately. I have been wondering if she is teething because all she wants to do is suck on her fingers, nothing else, well- she'll take a binkie once in a while. She is still having a hard time sleeping during naps. We have a doctor appointment on Monday to see if there is something we can give her for reflex- or whatever is going on with her. Poor thing.
We are doing very well here at the Baird house. Brody and I feel we are so blessed to have everything we need. We are all healthy, for the most of the part- thanks to Brody's Remicade treatments.
