BSU game

Tayli's birthday cake!

We've had lots going on the last month or so!! Tayli had her 3rd birthday and my Mom, and sister Jess and her twins came up for the party!!! Eric and I got to go to a BSU game, which was awesome!!! We have had lots of snow so far this year and its been fun playing in it! Last year Tayli didn't really care for the snow but this year she's done a lot better! We built a snowman, went sledding, and ice skating!! I haven't ice skated since college so it was fun to go and take Tay for her 1st time! She was so cute, she tried to go by herself but it was too slippery, as she said!! Its been a fun winter so far!! We are going to Denver for Christmas! I can't wait to spend time with my family and play with the babies!!!

Mason and Maddi came to visit!!!

We had such a fun week with Maddi and Mason!! They came to visit us while their mom went to some weddings back home!!! We played outside and in the sprinklers! We went to the bouncy house and went for a drive in the mountains and got some fun fall pictures!!! They are at such a fun age! They followed Tayli everywhere! We really enjoyed having babies in the house!!! I really miss them when i am not around them but fortunatly i get to see them about every month or so!!!!

SuMmEr FuN!!!!!

We have had such a fun, busy summer!!! We had a great camping trip with Erics family, we visited City of Rocks with our friends and their little girl Tori!! Tayli has had so much fun playing with her friends that live next door! Swimming, playing in the sprinkler, swinging and just having lots of fun! We've gotten to take a few vacations this summer starting in Las Vegas for a quick weekend getaway! We met up with my sister, her boyfriend and their 1 yr old twins!!! Then Tayli and I spent 2 weeks in Denver with them helping them move into a new house and playing with the twins!!!! As soon as we got home we had one days rest and then hurried off for a weekend in Island Park! We stayed on the water in the most beautiful cabin!!! Erics entire family was there celebrating his parents 50th wedding anniversary!! on the way home we stopped at Mesa Falls and had a picnic! and just this last weekend we headed to Utah to spend a coupld days at Lagoon! Tayli loved all the rides and even went on some big ones with me!!! The summer has flown by but has been soooo much fun!!! i love summertime!!!!

We spent a long weekend camping with Eric's family at a hot springs called Nat Soo Pah!! We go every year! We always have so much fun!! Tayli loved playing with her cousins and i had fun chatting with the girls and we all loved getting in the pool!!!! Eric had to work during the day and would come up at night! Tayli learned to swim with a life jacket on and loved going down the slide!! She had so much fun running around with her cousins! They colored, rode their little jeeps, played house, walked the puppies, and played and played!!! What a nice mini vacation!!!!!

Playoffs!!!!

Eric, Tay and I got to go to game 3 between the Jazz and Lakers! It was so fun! The game was intense and the crowd was so loud! Tayli clapped and cheered! She loved seeing Bear (the Jazz mascot)! Eric and I were way into the game! Unfortunatly the Jazz lost by 1. As Tayli would say "Darned it"! it was still so fun to get to go! We love going to the games especially good ones like that!!!!

What a Beautiful Day!!

Tayli and I spent the whole day outside today!! It was beautiful!! Tayli played with the neighbor kids and I sat and chatted with the girls!!! I even got on the trampoline and jumped with the kids! It was fun to watch Tay play with all the kids! they just went back and forth between all our yards!!! The second Tayli got inside and sat down she was out!!! what a fun day!! i just love warm weather!!!

Makin' Cupcakes!!

6 bowls of color (one is already mixed)

Rainbow batter

Layers of colored batter

Tada yummy rainbow cupcakes!

Tayli and I made rainbow cupcakes this afternoon! It was fun to add all the colors in the bowls and to watch Tayli try to stir them without getting food color all over the place! She loves helping me make anything! She likes to crack the eggs and run the mixer!! The cupcakes turned out pretty good...i filled them too much but they still tasted delicious!!!
