The end of March I had my 27th b-day. Starting to sound a little old! My birthday was great. Rob spoiled me and really gave me a birthday week. Starting on Wednesday he had a little surprise for me everyday. One day my mom babysat and we went out to eat and he gave me a little present. Then the next day we went for ice cream and he gave me another little present! Than on Friday he arranged for my family to come over and we ate dinner and did the cake and opened more presents. So Spoiled, huh?!!! Then, yes there is more, on Sat. my mom watched Taylor all morning and Rob and I drove to the outlet mall and spent the afternoon shopping and eating lunch just the two of us! It was all wonderful.

That's a lot of candles!

For Easter we just had a little mini egg hunt inside with Taylor. Which really only lasted about 5 min. and consisted of about 4 eggs. I figured she doesn't know the difference! Then on Sunday we went to my sisters and had a yummy Easter dinner. That was actually the same day that there was that earthquake in CA. I was at the kitchen sink when all of the sudden I noticed the pool water sloshing back and forth. Then rob was like, "I think we just had a little earthquake". I laughed at him like "Please we don't have earthquakes here". But we noticed the chandelier was really swinging too. So we turned the news on and there it was. We were feeling it all the way from CA. Crazy!

Overall, I had a WONDERFUL birthday and a very peaceful Easter :)

We held on as long as we could!

A couple of weeks ago Taylor officially went down to one nap. It is nice that I have more time in the morning to run errands, but hard because I feel like I only have half of the time I used to to get things done around the house!

Well Hello!

It has been awhile. We have had a lot of fun and exciting things going on. Here is the quick run down. I just realized it is in reverse order as you read it but I am far to lazy to care to fix it!!

End Jan. into Feb.: Sick, sick & sick again

This was probably on her worst day. Poor girl couldn't even open her eyes all the way, like it hurt too much. It broke my heart every time I looked at her. Who knows how we got it. I watched a friends kid one day, that is my guess! Taylor got it first than gave it to Rob and me. Then when we were getting better and she finished her antibiotics she got it again, worse. She is finally on her last day of antibiotics today. Which trying to give her that medicine by the way is not fun! She is a lot better about it now but it took some trial and error on our part. Including one night of me trying to hold her while Rob squirted it down her throat and then us both getting puked all over.You can tell she is sick because she isn't moving. She just wanted to lay on Rob and watch him play X-box.
Feb. 17: Taylor is 15 months old She is busy as ever! This girl never stops moving. She loves playing with Rhett, her baby dolls, taking baths and has really gotten into Baby Eisenstein type movies. Mostly she likes walking all around the house carrying things like a purse or just all of her socks she has pulled out of her drawer. She is talking more and more. She say Hi, mama, dada, up, baby, socks, yes, no and then she signs more, please and thank-you. We can tell she is just learning so much and soaking everything up. I am really enjoying this stage with her. She is becoming such a little girl.

Feb. 3rd: Ainsley Arrived
My sister Chrystal had her 4th baby. I was invited to the hospital to watch the delivery. It was amazing, I am do grateful she let me come witness it. She made it look so much easier than I remember it being!

Jan. 19th: Rob's New Office Opened

We are so excited Rob has moved to his new office! He is already home so much more now that he doesn't have to commute. The office has done really well for the first month. He was busier than he thought he would be, so it is great!

Jan. 6th: Anna Arrived

My little sister Amber has her first baby. A couple weeks later Chrystal and I made a little day trip to Tuscon to visit. It was so fun to get to see her. We love having all of these little girl cousins!

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas Taylor really started walking. We had great holidays. It just seems like so long ago though. It is too much to think about going all the way back and catching up so I am just starting from Jan.!

Today I am grateful for...

...the little key pad on my truck.

Because without it I would have accidentally locked Taylor in the car at the post office today!

Bubbles are scary, who knew?

I just thought this was funny. Last night I was giving Taylor a bath and thought she would love bubbles. So I added a little and she just looked at them for a minute and then..

...meltdown.

She wanted out of those horrible bubbles immediately!

Need Your Ideas!!

So I recently was called to be the enrichment leader in my ward. We are having a meeting on Sunday and I am supposed to bring some new ideas for activities this year. I have no ideas though! If anyone has done something fun I would love the help!!

Cooking with Grandma

A few weeks before Christmas my mom and sister came over for lunch and just to hang out. Mom decided to make Christmas cookies and the granddaughters LOVED watching.
