3 super cute kids!!!

We headed to Denver last week to see my sisters, mom and niece and nephew!! It was such a fun and busy trip!!! We went shopping, went to a BYU basketball game, a hockey game, and went bowling! We had fun with the babies too! My sister has twins that are almost 6 months old! Tayli LOVED them!! She loved trying to make them laugh! She pushed Mason around the house in a box! She loved holding them and kissing them! She did great traveling too! She loves my sister Jess and couldn't get enough of her!! It was a nice little vacation and we can't wait to see them all again!!!

BoUnCy HoUsE!!

So our new favorite place to play is the bouncy house place they opened up down the road from our house! Every day Tay asks if we can go there! They have a couple toy rooms, tons of bouncy houses and a couple other theme rooms! Tay just goes back and forth from the toys to the bouncy houses!! We spent 3 hours there the other day and i am sure she would have stayed longer if i would let her!!! So fun!!!!

Sledding

Tayli and her Oba (my mom) at City of Rocks!

All bundled up for sledding!!!

My Sister, her boyfriend, my Mom and my niece and nephew came to visit the weekend before Christmas! It was such a fun weekend! We went to temple square, sledding, city of rocks, opened presents early and just laughed and talked!! We went sledding on a medium hill i would say, it was big enough that it was not fun to walk up but not quite big enough to make the walk worth it!! ha ha! It was still fun tho! All the kids were sleeping when we got there so the rest of us, except my mom who stayed with the kids, went sledding! I was so funny!! My sis and I crashed and rolled the first time down, Eric flew off his sled before going over a jump, and Jared hurt his throat...yeah throat going off the jump!! hahaha! So fun! I took Tayli down a little hill when she woke up and she got lots of snow in her face and didn't want to go again...but she loved the snow and looked so cute all dressed up!!! What a fun day in the mountains!!!

Thanksgiving this year was a blast! We went to Eric's sister Michelle's! the food was amazing and i don't even like thanksgiving food! Tayli slept all through dinner but woke up and played and played with her cousins Bodee and Annie!! they were so cute together!! We all just chatted and played some games, i lost 4 times in a row at pool to Kevin, that really hurts!! Then Steph and i went to walmart at 3 in the morning to get jeeps for our kids, that was fun! we had to stand right by the jeeps with them in our carts and could leave the area until about 4:45 and then we stood in line until about 6:15...and lets just say i never really got to go back to sleep so yeah feeling pretty tired now but hopefully Tayli will love her cute little Barbie Jeep!!! it was fun to get up and see all the crazy people!!! Tomorrow we are going to the Jazz/Trail blazers game with Ryker and Jazz so we are super excited for that!!! what a fun Thanksgiving weekend...sure wish my family was here to make it perfect!!!!

Oh Christmas Tree!!

oh what a cute family i have!!

Decorating "TT's tree"

i just love love love my baby girl

Well this year I decided I wanted Christmas to last a little longer so I made Eric put the tree up a little early this year!!! Tayli had a little tree to decorate and a couple of her own ornaments to put on the big tree!! She is so cute she walks into the front room and points to the little tree and says "TT's tree" and points to the big tree and says "mommy daddy tree" love it! my tree is purple and blue this year, i think its pretty cute but then again i decorated it so that may be why i think its so cute!! I sure do love Christmas and all the decorations and lights!!!

Adoption

Eric and I have just been approved to adopt again! We are so excited to start this process again!! I feel a lot more relaxed this time! Now that we've been through it once before and know that it all works out in the Lord's time, I can just enjoy the process!! I am excited for Tayli to have a brother or sister, she just loves babies!! I am getting really excited to have another baby, Tayli sure isn't a baby anymore!! We are looking forward to meeting and getting to know a new birth family!! We have been so blessed to know Tayli's birthmom and are so grateful to her!! We grow so much through this process and its been such a spiritual experience, we can't wait to do it all again!!!
