Easter Fun!

We had a very fun Easter with Taylor. On Saturday we celebrated with Brody's Family. Taylor and Bryson were the only kiddies for the Easter Egg Hunt. This is Bryson with his Sunglasses on that the Easter Bunny gave him. We forgot to take more pictures, so we have none of Taylor till Sunday. Everyone really missed Kaden and Kali (Chad's kids that live in Virgina with their mom).

Sunday both Brody and I had to teach the Easter lessons. Brody is teaching the 10 and 11 year olds in Primary and of course I taught the lesson in Young Womens. Later we went to my parents house. The Easter Egg hunt was a little chaotic with kids runnin' around and parents trying to make kids cooperate for pictures! Picture time is always a struggle if it is not kandid.

Hey the boys are actually going to be outnumbered here soon. Jen and Annie are both having little girls! Yippee, Carly and Taylor will have two more girl cousins!


Brody put Taylor in the swing out front for the first time. She actually liked it even though the breeze was a bit chilly. Doesn't she look cute in her spring dress!

So later the girls were chatting and we got wondering where Wade and the brother in laws were (Berk, Blake, and Brody). Well they decided to take a little ride in Wade's very beat up and old car. Here's what trouble they got into.

Berkley was driving. They decided to go off roading with a flat tire up on the mountain.
Oh... boys! They were all glad Brody took the video camera so they could re-live the excitement when they got back. I was just glad they didn't get caught trespassing or crash when they went around the gate.

Yes now we can upload video. My husband is a genius! We have to convert the video files so they are smaller and they have to be recorded in standard mode, not high def mode. We still love our camera though!

Poor little gums

We are having the hardest time getting Taylor to bed these days. Because she is teething she goes to sleep for the night around 8 o'clock and wakes up ten minutes later. Then she cries off and on trying to fall asleep for up to 2 hours. This is weird for her as you know because she is usually such a good sleeper at night and not during the day so by the time it is 8 o'clock she is so exhausted. But the poor lil' girl's gums hurt. I can imagine it is very painful to cut teeth. She is such a sweetheart though, I can't stand to be away from her. By the time it is morning I am so excited to pick her up- especially now that she wakes up making the cutest sounds and playing with her feet in bed. Oh, we love her to pieces!
Mommy's girl!

Daddy's little munch kin!

Taylor and I just got back from the Tree House Museum in Ogden. It was pretty cool. I met my sisters and their kids there. Taylor just slept half the time and then she woke up happy to see kids running all around. I think it is great that there are some good things coming to Ogden. We have been living in Ogden for 4 1/2 years together but now I don't think for too much longer. We are making serious plans to move in the near future. Nothing is really in the works yet I just have finally convinced Brody to move us and gotten him excited about it. Yeah, how exciting! Where we live is awesome because of our street with very good neighbors and the ward is strong. But I guess there are more reasons to move than to stay- and the market is good for it NOW. Well anyway I probably shouldn't get too excited for it until we get everything in place.

Taylor is getting so big it is crazy. She is whining right now cuz she wants to play. Our first Easter with her this weekend will be fun!

Is Spring here yet?

I am so loving this nice weather we are having but I am betting it is going to get cold again. It has been so nice to get outside more often and not worry if Taylor is freezing. It seems somehow I have been really busy lately. There is a lot going on with my mom and Dad right now and we are all helping Wade get out on his mission. He almost has his papers ready to submit. I am so excited for my little bro to go on a mission. He will be awesome and grow so much from his experiences. Brody and I have been having lots of fun with Taylor lately. She is so silly! I took some video the other night of her laughing. What was so funny is she had been really fussy and kinda crying then I started playing peek-a-boo and she just busted out laughing. Of course when I finally grabbed the camera her laughing started to subside. Here is that video though...

Um, never mind. The video is not going to work. After uploading for several hours I finally canceled it. Dang, I want to show off her cuteness. We have a very advanced video camera and not a top of the line computer so the files are too large. Brody says "it won't work" but of course I'm thinking "well , we'll see". Brody has been saying he wants a new computer and this is one of the reasons but I don't know if I am going to give in to him on that. I'd rather get stuff for Taylor.
So anyway, what else is new... Taylor is teething- I think. Last weekend she started droolin' major and her gums seem sensitive to the touch. Yesterday she and I went into Wadman Corporation where I used to work. She was very good- but then again, she usually is when we are in a different environment. We need to get out more- Yeah Spring! It was so good to see all my friends at Wadman. There are definitely days when I miss working, especially there. I loved Wadman Corporation. They really made me grow because of the experiences I had there. Some of the most amazing people I know work for Wadman Corporation.
Here is the latest of Taylor. She is just chillin' in her high chair being a good girl.

I am so thankful everyday that I can be a mommy, and even more thankful that I get to stay home with her. Me and Brody are so lucky to have such a beautiful baby. She amazes me too. Now she sleeps 12 hours at night. That's my girl!

Snow in Island Park

I have been meaning to post some pictures of Brody's trip to Island Park last month. He went snowmobiling with his Dad and brother up there. They had a great time just bein' boys! I think they wore their dad out though. The amount of snow at the cabin was insane! Chad and Brody had to shovel some snow off to prevent cave ins. Check these out.

This is the bunkhouse. It looks like a mushroom.








Brody and Chad on the roof of the cabin. "Ah man, this is hard work".







Gnarly trees up on Two Top. So they had a blast. Me and Taylor can't wait to go up there too, but we will wait until the snow melts and it is a little warmer.





Brody and I are way excited to take Taylor to the cabin and go camping and 4 wheeling and hiking this summer. Brody's mom and Dad gave us a kid pack for Taylor so we can pack her on our back when we go hiking. This summer will be so fun with our little Tay! I can't believe how big she is getting.

This picture is at my parents house on my Birthday. I love this picture of our little family! Taylor is such a sweetheart. Brody really missed her (and me too) while he was in Island Park for 4 days.
