Taylor's cuteness!

This week Taylor has started to put full sentences together (which is huge, he has had therapist working with him for the last year to help him get talking) and has said some really cute things. These were a few that I thought were really funny.

I was cleaning out the car and pulled out a bag of m&m's- Taylor pointed at them and said "m&m's! I love m&m's!!

Taylor was placed in time out and he yelled at me "Your not being nice!" over and over again. I had to leave the room because I was laughing.

While changing Taylor's diaper he pointed to a staute of Christ and said "Look mom, Jesus Christ Amen!" I thought this was so adorable!!

A couple more picts. of John

I just liked these picts alot too so I thought I would throw them up. These are pictures we used for thank you's for his birthday party:

My little boy is not so little anymore!

These are John's 5 year photos I snapped of him and one I grabbed of Taylor because I couldn't leave him out. I can't believe how grown up both of them are. John officially started kindergarted and is loving it! I let him ride the bus home and he loves that too! He is all of a sudden afraid of being alone, being in the dark, and afraid of monsters. He used the word "whatever" for the first time the other day- that was fun! He loves to be Taylor's rule enforcer- which is also fun :). He is on a soccer team and is doing amazing! His last game he scored three of the four goals! He wants to start basketball next and I not too sure he will be as good in that sport- I will keep my fingers crossed for him though. Anywho just had to brag on my growing boy for a min.

Family Vacation August 4-7

Wend Day 1-
~Traveled to Lehi
~Stopped to have a Picnic in Nephi and stretch our legs
~Checked into our hotel
~Headed to Sandy to have dinner at the Myan
(Watched people dive off rocks at the Myan- the Boys loved this- didn't so much love the food which was very expensive)
~Boys kept requesting we go back "home" meaning the hotel and go swimming.
~So rented a red box
~Went to get into the pool and 5 min. in saw lightning so we moved our swimming into our hotel room. Kids got into the tub with their swimming suits and swam in there.

We got hit by a major hail storm- pretty crazy- we thought our cars windows were going to be knocked out but luckily they held up.

~watched a movie

~went to bed

Day 2 of our fun coming soon...

A Mom's Favorite Thing...NOT!!

I got a call today from "Lins Market" saying that John had won the Coloring Contest he entered in and to stop by the store for his prize. So I was thinking a bag of candy or a balloon... Yea not exactly:

John's Coloring Contest Prize! This thing is not light either- it has to be at least 20lbs! John can barely carry it, pretty funny to watch actually! :)


Don't worry we made sure "Chick" the chicken (the name John gave it) was safe on the way home! :)

An amazing video for moms:

An amazing video

This is an amazing message I came across while reading LDS LIVING magazine. We really need to appreciate our bodies for what we have- we need to try to recognize the devine role of a mother. I just have to say wow- I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.
