Just some things we've been up to!

Tayli loves riding her jeep!

my beautiful dancer girl

watering the plants!

We've been enjoying the little spurts of nice weather we've been having! Tayli loves playing outside, the first thing out of her mouth in the morning is "Mom can I go outside and play with my friends?" She has two friends that live behind us and they love to play with her. We have gone to the park, colored with chalk, taken walks so Tay can ride her jeep, played in her playhouse, and played with lots of friends! I love the warm weather and longer days! Its nice to sit outside and soak up the sun!
This week Tayli has her first dance recital! She has been having lots of performances and it is so fun to watch her!! My mom and sister are coming from Denver to see her recital! I can't wait to see our niece and nephew and have everybody here!!! I sure do love having a little girl who is sooo girly!!

bowling fun!

We decided we were going to go out for a family date night a few nights ago! We got pizza, bowled a couple games, played some arcade games and then went and got some frozen yogurt, yum! Tayli lost interest in bowling after the 1st game so I tried my hardest to beat Eric...it didn't work. Oh well it was a fun night! I love having fun with my little family!

So much to blog about!

A new play place that had all sorts of fun!



 The last few months have been lots of fun. We went to Denver to spend christmas with my family. We were there a week and a half. We got to go to a Denver Broncos game, we did lots of shopping and we had lots of fun just spending time with family. When we got home Tayli started dance. I am sure I have been looking forward to it more than she has but she loves it. Its pretty cute to watch her try to follow what her teacher does. Most of the time she is watching herself in the mirror or watching what the other girls are doing. Its been fun to watch her learn more and get better every week. We have been trying to be creative with things to do since its not fun to play outside in the winter time when there isn't any snow. So we have gone to the bouncy house a few times, went to visit friends out of town, worked on letters and watched a lot of basketball! Eric helped coach the freshman boys team this year so we went to a lot of his game and our nephew plays for the other high school here and so we went to all his home games as well! Tayli and I got to go back to Denver to baby sit the twins while my mom went to the Bahamas (she usually watches them every day) It was great to be there and the weather was beautiful. We went swimming a couple times, played outside, my sister lives right across the street from a park, and we of course shopped. You can't avoid that when you only have sisters! It was nice to get back home to Eric, although we were only home for 2 days and then we all went to Boise to watch the boys play in the state tournament. Its been busy but fun the last couple months. Its starting to show signs of spring and that always makes me happy. I can't wait to play out in the sun, go camping, swimming and whatever else we can do when the weather is nice!

bowling on Tayli's 3rd birthday

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!!!!!

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!!!!
