BBQ at the Taylor's!

We decided to do a BBQ to welcome Jordan, Brooke, and Josh in to town. They came up early from Arizona to hang out. So we played some volleyball and had a BBQ. It was a lot of fun but it was hot so we let the kids run threw the sprinklers while the adult got down to business.

Kc and Cole not sure if they want to go in.

Bailee and Kynna left for a little bit inside and came outside looking like this! Yup they got into Bailee's play makeup and wow lets hope they better at putting it on before they get older.

Merry Christmas Bailee and Cole. Yes, Christmas does come in June. My cousin Josh builds ATV's and he brought up 4 mini 4-wheeler's for the kids. Bailee and Cole did the purple and blue one to share. They are so fun. Thanks Josh for driving all this way for us!!

Come on dad when do I get to drive :(

Yes, dad got off its my turn baby!

Bailee's 1st Sleep Over

Bailee really has never had any of her friends or cousin's sleep over. After the BBQ Bailee wanted all the girls to stay. Well most of them had already left to go home and Kynna and Taylor were still here. So we thought it would be fun for them to stay. Richard was so cute with them he played with them, watch a movie with them, read them a bed time story, and then he had them say their prays. Thank Richard for you help with them.


Bailee, Taylor, and Kynna, all trying to get Richard.

Blogging Help!

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew how to change your template the back ground to your blogs without losing your side information like links and that type of stuff? I want to switch my back ground but also don't want to spend 20 hrs. trying to re due stuff. Thanks!!!

YOU DID WHAT!!!

"YOU DID WHAT"!!!! Were Richard's exact words when we showed him Bailee's ears after we got them pierced!!! Bailee and I wanted to surprise him and umm... apparently it didn't go so well. Other then that Bailee loves them. She picked out the pink diamond ones. She looks so cute with them I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. Cute ear's Bailee!!!


She was so brave she didn't even cry she just smiled and held my hand tight. It was so fun spending the day with her and Cole.

Emma Smith

For Enrichment Night we celebrated Relief Society's Birthday. It was so much fun we ate like pioneers did and then we did a little roll play. I got to be so lucky and was Emma Smith. She was amazing women and there was no way I could have lived back then.

All of us posing in our gorgeous outfits!

Fun in the Sun!

We finally had a perfect day outside so when Bailee and Cole woke up I mowed lawns and put the sprinkler out for them. They loved it! Wait didn't it just snow like 4 day's earlier? Idaho such crazy weather!

Bailee is helping Cole out, I love when they play together and all you hear is giggling and laughter.
