Pretty lucky for a three year old

This is what happens when my fabulous esthetician/sister watches Taylor while I am at work. Thanks Aunt Jenn! You are the best. We appreciate you so much.

Taylor's first dance class

Taylor recently started her pre-ballet and tap class and she absolutely loves it. I have to laugh when I watch these little girls in tutu's trying to follow their teachers' lead. It's so cute. And although Taylor is the tallest and the youngest in her class (still three in these pics), she does pretty well. Learning to listen to her teacher is the obstacle to overcome. I somehow wish there was a way to keep Taylor this age forever. Skip that whole teenage thing, ya know?

Going private

After talking to my sister Christy, I may go private with my blog in the next couple of weeks. I don't want everyone out there in cyber-land having access to my life and photos. If you want continued access to this amazing blog (and I say that with total sarcasm), please leave me a comment with your e-mail address. Thanks.

Summer 2008, part four

The project for this summer...

Lots of fun. Lots of stress. Ready to be done.

Pioneer Day in Park City

Tay loved the Alpine slide and coaster, so we ventured up to PC again for the 24th. Christy and Rommel joined us this time. Later that night, we went to Quynn and Ivy's house for a pool party and outdoor movie.

Silver Lake, Brighton

Shooing away all the mosquitos... And there were SO many. Ick.

We saw a moose and her calf... I tried to get a picture but it didn't turn out very well.

Summer 2008, part two

First day of gymnastics

Taylor has really loved this class, despite being the youngest and having no idea what was going on the first few times. Being only three, it is funny to see how much taller she is than the five year olds in her group. This will be a great way for her to improve her listening skills as well as her coordination.

Swimming lessons

Oh, if you could have experienced the first few days of swimming lessons with Taylor. To put it mildly, there was continuous crying/screaming along with many attempts to claw her way out of the pool whenever the teacher, Emily, wasn't looking. I signed her up at Willow Creek Country Club for a two week session, daily lessons, and her teacher was FABULOUS. Not only did Taylor overcome her fear of going underwater, she actually started to enjoy it. Because of that, I signed her up for another two week session and boy did she blossom! She spent more time underwater than above. And to top it off, she mastered jumping off the diving board. The best part about the second session was that she was one of two kids in the class, and the other child was gone quite a bit. It ended up being a private lesson! Gotta love that.

Day One...(Notice the fear)

Last day of first session

Final day of lessons
