Taylor's first OFFICIAL haircut

She was a little nervous bit did great! Thanks Amber! You are the best.

Playing with Ava, Ryen, and Dax (Amber's kiddo's)

Their future wedding photo. I love Tay's hand gently resting on his chest... too cute.

Playin' and swimmin'

Now that I am finally feeling better from my surgery last week, I thought I better update the blog with some pictures of our recent happenings...

She absolutely loves Sugarhouse park, but anyone that has been with us knows she is THE most cautious child on the planet. How is it that we end up with so many accidents?!

Atop the slide. Very impressive for the timid Taylor.

I love this photo. As you can see, now I am the cautious one when it comes to the sun. I made her wear this hat (that obviously doesn't fit her head, especially with braids) while we ate lunch. Her expression basically says it all- "Take it off mama!".

She loved feeding the ducks her leftover Cheetos.

We went swimming together right after I got back from Mexico. I took her to the Fairmont indoor pool in Sugarhouse and she loved it. I enjoyed it because I didn't have to deal with sunscreen, and there were tons of fun things to keep her busy- A slide, several fountains and a lazy river. We will definitely go again.

My "skinny minny"

All wrapped up and warm... It was a great day!

Puerto Vallarta

I just returned from a six day trip with my office to Puerto Vallarta. What a great time it was! It was the perfect vacation consisting of relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, shopping, and eating. It doesn't getter better than that, especially when it's with a bunch of girls I love. Thanks Dr. "Rudge"! You are the best.

Hallelujah to the heavens above

After MONTHS AND MONTHS (and MONTHS) of looking at every possible home in Draper, Sandy, Highland and Alpine, I am happy to announce that we have FINALLY decided to build. Here are a few pics of our 1/2 acre lot only ten seconds away from Christy and Rommel. Our builder has promised us we will be in by the end of October. I am beyond excited.

Justyn is taking this picture at the curb of our future home. If you can see two little pinhead people, it's me and Tay standing at the property line. Notice our excitement. I am envisioning a home all to myself where I can walk around naked during the day without worrying someone will see me. Or where I can have some peace and quiet whenever I feel like it. Tay is thinking about her future swingset and trampoline. Maybe even a pool.

At last, I can finally see the light at the end of the dark tunnel...
