2010-09-29T08:11:00.000-07:00

Well this day went perfect...NOT! Bailee had a HUGE meltdown getting ready and Crew was extremely fussy and tired. Cole I thought was going to be the worst and not want to get dressed and only want to wear his swimmy. Well he fooled me he was the BEST of all 3! We finally got all ready shoved them in the car and told them to smile..ha! Crew was sick and a huge blow out and Cole later on started to throw up! Gotta love picture day! But in the end they turned out great and we still love each other lol!

Spud Day September 18, 2010

2010-09-23T16:38:00.001-07:00

Every year Spud Day comes and goes. This year it was really fun. The kids went and went and were pooped by the end of the night. It started with the parade at 10 then the park till around 2. After that we headed to the Derby grounds to get the derby underway.

This is my grandpa Eaton. He's almost 90 and still is riding his horses like he's a young cowboy! He always starts the parade being uncle Sam.

Richard passing by with Crew driving. Those 2 are just to darn cute!

One of the tow trucks.

The grand kids always want to ride with Nana and Grandpa.

Hanging from the crane is the raffle ticket car.

The girls hiding under the blanket from all the dirt.

This year was one of the best hitting year we have had. I can't believe how BIG our derby is getting. There was so many people and we just keep getting more! We love it!

Richard is the announcer. He does an amazing job and keeps the crowd entertained.

We had the fire fighters run across the field to put out the fire in the hole. If you look close they all started to tumble before they even got a 1/4 of the way.

Kader's and Tiffany watching Shawn.

My cousin Ashley and her boyfriend. They are so stinking cute and sweet!

Cole having fun with his glow stick!

Of course they had to play in the mud when it was all over with.

Derbin Chick, Hagin, Jessica, and Taylee all having a girls night. This year was the best year yet! It was so much fun the crowd had a blast and we had no problems except with the stupid sheriff! Oh well but other then that can't wait for next year!

Found my STONE!

2010-09-23T16:33:00.001-07:00

YES!!! Richard went into the trailer and thought I am going to find this diamond. Then he looked in the window by the sink of the trailer and well a little sparkle hit his eye! YAY!!!! I'm married again! I'm so stinking grateful that he found it. Its like a million pounds was lifted off my shoulders. Thanks babe! Oh man I love ya man! p.s I looked by that stupid window at least 50 times ugg!

What we have been up to this summer!

2010-09-14T20:17:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the non blogging. Working and raising a family plus all the other craziness I just haven't had time to sit and blog. We moved into our home in August. We couldn't be more excited! Bailee turns 6 on the 15th of September but we had her party on the 12th. She started kindergarten this fall and is doing so good! I'm so proud of her and her hard work!

I am now teaching preschool at the Tatar Tots Academy. I LOVE IT! I didn't think I would like it this much but I love getting my lesson ready and then seeing the kids loving the projects. I know I'm the worst speller and I STINK at grammar but just teaching the basic of preschool is so much fun! Then I watch 4 kids at home. It's a crazy schedule but it's been a lot of fun...sort of!

Well good luck looking at all the post. Sorry there is so many!

It's a Pony Party!

2010-09-14T20:07:00.000-07:00

Alyssa had her 7th birthday party as a Pony Party. The kids had a great time riding the horse. Cole was in a mood so he didn't want anything to do with it but oh well we will get him sooner or later.

Bailee of course had to get a pink cowgirl hat with a princess crown and sparkles!

Thank you for the fun ride and fun party!

Our new home!

2010-09-14T19:56:00.000-07:00

YEA! We finally moved in August 11, 2010! We had the HARDEST time building this house. From the moment we signed with Fall Creek it has been nothing but problems after problems. BUT.....we finally finished with a big BANG! The banks wouldn't let us close we were scheduled on July 27 and finally got it on the 11 of August. We are in and happy as can be! You all know Richard he has already got the sprinkler system in and the yard planted. That guy never sits down for one second. He is already putting in the neighbor's sprinkler system and we have only been moved in for a month! Jeez dude!

One of the best parts about this house is the park is right across the street! The kids are there almost everyday! I love it and I love loVE LOVE my new home!

Princess Party for Bailee's 6th Birthday!

2010-09-14T19:15:00.000-07:00

I'm in shock I can not believe my little girl is 6! She is so much fun, she is 1,000% girl! Everything has to do with pink, sparkles, clothes, shoes, and diva attitude! I never thought I would have such a girly girly but yes I got it! Bailee wanted Princess and the frog themed. So we had all the girls dress in princess dresses and then we got swords for the knights armor. They had so much fun it was really fun to watch them play!

Bailee getting her Princess birthday crown on.

We played kiss the frog. Paisley is taking her turn...Cole has the hots for her its pretty cute!

Bailee is always singing and so we thought a Karaoke machine was perfect...guess what it was! She has not stopped played with it!

Blowing our her princess cupcakes.

We love you so much Princess I hope you had a wonderful day!

Labor Weekend Camping at Palasaides

2010-09-14T14:58:00.000-07:00

This weekend did NOT go as planned! It was a good/bad/EXTREMELY BAD weekend. We went with my family and Peterson's. Saturday Cole got the flu so I didn't want to leave him and go water skiing with him not feeling good. Then Sunday I lost the diamond out of my ring, yes my people my cart is Gone GOne GONE!!! I know it's in the camper somewhere or at least I'm praying it is. We have search the camp ground we drained our tanks out of the trailer, we tried EVERYTHING! So please keep it in your prayers that it will some how by a MIRACLE turn up! Other then that it was a great weekend.

Bailee and karli become such good friends they went up and down this trail together on the bike. They were so cute!

Cj and Cole being silly.

Cole wanted in on some lovins too!

so did Crew!

Cole had the flu on Saturday and Crew for some crazy reason would not leave his side!

My little boys!

2010-09-14T14:45:00.000-07:00

Living a newly built home Cole and Crew are in dirt HEAVEN! They are outside everyday cleaning (eating rocks) for me! Cole is always digging with his shovel trying to find something good I'm hoping for gold or oil!

Crew is just to darn cute!

Bailee's 1st day of Kindergarten!

2010-09-14T14:30:00.000-07:00

August 19, 2010
Bailee started school in the afternoon's at Sunrise Elementary. She looked so darn cute and was super excited! I thought I was be so happy she left and jumping for joy! Nope I missed the stink bug and I did cry! But now I know she is loving every minute of it so it makes me feel better!

Bailee lining up with her class.

Sorry I thought the pictured flipped.

Walking up to school.

Eating lunch. None of the kids ate they were so excited they just wanted to leave!

I'm a BIG boy NOW!

2010-09-14T14:23:00.000-07:00

Crew is almost 1 and I can't believe it! He started to Crawl in June but just the army crawl. Then in August he did the normal crawling and now he's unstoppable! He just thinks he's so darn funny which he is!

The day before we closed on our house we went and bought blinds and curtains for the windows.

Crew for the 1st time in his big boy car seat! My baby is growing to fast. I just can't get enough of his little chubs!

Anderson Family Reunion 2010

2010-09-14T14:06:00.000-07:00

The Anderson Family Reunion was this year in Lava Hot Springs. It was a lot of fun but I wish we weren't in the middle of closing on our house. I wish we could have just stayed and played instead we had to come home and deal with dumb banks! It was great to see everyone again. Two years is just so far away I already can't wait for the next one!

We floated the Lava Hot Springs rapids. It was a lot of fun WITHOUT kids! We had a big mishap with the kids on the tubes and a little waterfall! Needless to say we all walked away with lots of scrapes and bruises!

Grandma Weaver lives around the corner from Lava Hot Springs. So instead of paying for a hotel we stayed with her. It was great for the kids to spend time with her and get spoiled rotten!

At my cousin's wedding the bride threw the bouquet to all the little girls instead of her friends. It was so adorable the girls LOVED it!

Little Swimmer's

2010-09-14T13:46:00.000-07:00

We took the kids either boating for swimming at least 2 time a week this summer. When I do daycare at home we never get time to leave the house and live life! Well this summer I wasn't going to let it happen. We went boating with Ryan and Britton, Shawn and his family, took the jet ski's out or just went to the Shelley pool.

Bailee, Cole, Kately, and Kade on the tube. They were laughing and giggling so hard we just went circle's for at least a 1/2 hr! It's was totally worth it!

Crew loves the boat! He just chilled while everyone was playing in the water.

Life long buddies!

These four have become the best of friends this summer! It's amazing on how much this summer has changed our kids!

Bailee at the Shelley pool.

Nothing like the summer sunset at the beach!

Camping with the Taylor's for a week in July

2010-09-14T13:15:00.000-07:00

Every year we go camping for a week in the summer. It's become a new tradition and we always look forward to it every year. Richard's parent's and brother's come with us. This year his sisters Paula and Mindi came up from Texas for the month of July and was able to camp with us. They liked it most of the time but they sure missed there Internet! It was neat to take all his sister's that live in Texas camping with us. It never happens and now we got all 3 in the same year!

Swimming in Jackson.

Catching minnow's by the dock.

This is Bailee! She did AWESOME for her first time on the knee board! We were so PROUD of her! The poor thing lost her board, she still held onto the rope and kept yelling "Oh no I lost the board" as we are yelling "Let go of the rope!"

Richard helping Cole put up his bird feeders.

The kids making bird feeders to hang on the tree's.

Happy 4th of July!

2010-09-14T13:06:00.000-07:00

For the 4th of July it was so nice! We went to the Taylor family reunion in the morning then we went home took a nap just before we headed off to the fireworks. We really have never been with Richard's side for the 4th so we decided it was only fair. We had so much fun and the kids were so tired they almost fell asleep before the show!

I just love that little chubby monkey!

Isaac's family came up for a couple of days and so we did our own little firework show! Which consisted of sparkler's, bumble bee's and smoke booms. They LOVED it!

Father's Day weekend

2010-09-14T12:56:00.000-07:00

We had a layed back Father's Day weekend. The kids playing in the yard, helped grandpa with mowing, made Richard breakfast in the morning.

Over nighter at Blow Out Camp Ground.

2010-09-14T12:48:00.000-07:00

Ryan and Britton invited us to go water skiing for there anniversary. So we loaded up the camper and stayed over night. It was a great weekend to get away and remember what is was like to have quiet time with Richard. Thanks again Sherrey for helping is us out!

Richard knee boarding.

Going to the Park

2010-09-14T12:41:00.000-07:00

This year I had a little more time off with working at a daycare rather then having a daycare out of my house. I wanted the kids to go to the park as much as possible this year to make up for all the years we didn't go. So we took Beck's all summer and had a great time.

Cole and Paisley loving life!

Bailee and Kinley are 2 crazy diva chicks! I thought Bailee was drama/diva girl! Kinley is just as bad if not more! I was happy to know I wasn't the only mom with the problem! Love ya Kinley!

Memorial Weekend 2010

2010-09-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

This year was a great weekend, except all the RAIN! Aunt Julie and uncle Ted came up from Texas to camp with us for the weekend. I wish it would have been a lot nicer for them. The kids had a blast of course cause life doesn't stop when it rains. It was Crew's first camping trip and I was a little nervous at first but he did great. In fact I think he LOVED it!

Grandpa Rich and Cole riding on the 4-wheeler. We are so shocked that Cole is wearing his helmet. He is not a fan of hats or anything to do with something on his head. I'm praying he will wear a snow hat this year!

Crew is already sick of pictures!

Crew is so stinking cute.

Almost all the Taylor grand kids.

Cole helping dad chop the wood.

Happy 3rd Birthday Cole!

2010-05-18T21:29:00.001-07:00

Happy 3rd birthday Cole. You came into our lives the sweetest, cutest, chubbiest little boy! We we're so excited for you. You have brought the cutest little spirit into our home and we are so grateful to have you. Cole hit the terrible 2's HARD! I didn't think he was going to be my sweet little boy anymore but the week he turned 3 wow he did a complete 360! He his back to his normal self well with a side of stubbornness but hey I'll take that over that grump he was!

Cole 1 week old

1st birthday!

2 years old

3 years old!
Boy we sure love this kid to death! He is definitely a mamma's boy but I love it! Cole has his blue blanket that he's still has to have with him 24/7. He still will only eat pancakes or waffles for breakfast and about 20 sippy's of juice a day. He LOVES corn dogs (YUCK) and well pancakes and that is pretty much it! He can count to almost 25 and says he's ABC's with no problem. He can point out some of the letters but were still working on it. He LOVES to sing and he LOVES trucks, trains, his buzz and woody doll action figures. He begs to go to bed about 8:30! It's the best! He's a total boy except when he plays dress up with Bailee and barbies. He's is going 100% all day long and keeps me on my feet! Happy Birthday my bud and we love you so much!

He LOVED his monster truck cake!

Isaac and Liz brought over there jumper boy they sure do love it!

Duh they all had to hit the hot tub when the party was over!

We did 2 parties this year for Cole due to the fact that we are in a tiny apartment and no room for anyone not even us! This is Cole's monster truck cake for the Taylor's.

Cole opend up his Cars wii game. He has played it NON stop!

Opening gifts from the Taylor's.

Thank you so much everyone for spoiling Cole again. We appreciate you all for bringing food and spending the day with us on Cole's birthday! We love you bubba!

Bailee's Dance Recital

2010-05-18T21:05:00.000-07:00

Bailee's Dance Recital was May 1st. The theme was "So you think you can Dance" and let me tell ya, Bailee is a performer! She always goes out and puts on a little show! I was so proud of her for watching Jill instead of the other girls and she was so stinking CUTE!

Bailee and Kynna

Bailee and Kaidance

After the recital we gave the girls there flowers. Well Cole was NOT happy they he didn't get one my goodness he threw a HUGE fit! So Bailee being so nice gave him one of hers and he was a happy kid after that! lol He's crazy!

Daddy daughter weekend!

2010-05-18T20:54:00.001-07:00

Richard wanted to start a new tradition and take each of our kids out camping for a weekend just the 2 of them. Bailee was so excited she could hardly stand it! She packed her own clothes, made her bed, got all her hair stuff plus shampoo and conditioner. It was the cutest thing to watch her load all of it. Richard said she did her own hair and helped with cooking and cleaning. I'm so proud of her!

No worries that is not Richard's real hair! Bailee was so excited when she got home she ran in told me they almost hit a deer, they went to see the windmills, and road the 4-wheeler all day. I'm so glad I have a wonderful husband who wants to spend time with our kids! Love you babe!

Welcome home Cj!

2010-04-26T18:47:00.000-07:00

Cj got in on Thursday at 5:45. We have been so excited for his return we missed his goofy laugh and sense of humor! The grandkids sure did miss him also! He went to Oregon but was called to Russia but they switch in the MTC. I love this picture of the two little boys holding up the poster but look at Bailee in the back ground crying!

All of us together again!

Crew meeting Cj for the 1st time.

Cole and Maddy being buds again! I put about 3 other post so keep going down sorry for the picture over load!

FHE gone BAD!

2010-04-26T18:38:00.000-07:00

On Monday night we we're about to start FHE and Richard took the kids out to ride the 4-wheeler for a little bit before we started. Well Cole wanted to drive and of course we said no due to well he doesn't know how. Well he pushed the gas button wouldn't let up and was headed right for the suburban. Bailee some how manage to pull his arm to the right and turned the 4-wheeler which was going into the fence instead. We were so glad or else we would probably had 2 kids in the hospital. They hit the chain fence at about 20mph and it came up and scratched the heck out of there faces. These pictures don't do any justice to how it really looked the next day. Poor kids but I guess we all learn our lesson on helmets and not letting Cole drive again for a very LONG time!

Cole had put about 5 band aids on his face that night. I wish you could really see how bad his face was this doesn't look bad at ALL!

Both kids after it happen. We are so blessed that all they got was banged up faces.

MOnsTER TrUCKs!!

2010-04-26T18:27:00.000-07:00

Richard took the kids to the Monster Truck Show with Shawn. They had to put the wreckers in and you know Kayson, Cole, and Kade had a BLAST!!! But instead of watching the show they made there own show with their trucks! Bailee had a great time but got so warn out waiting for it to start she fell asleep during the show!

The wreckers lined up with the trucks.

The kids super excited to go!

Easter Week!

2010-04-26T17:21:00.000-07:00

These pictures are way out of order but you get the idea. We had a wonderful Easter weekend with lots of family and friends. We first had a hunt at they daycare where Cole fell just before it started and had a nose bleed while running. So I had to hold a tissue to his nose and run with him while he screamed but yet still manage to get the most eggs. Then on Saturday we went to Shawn and Tiffany's house for a BBQ then let the kids run wild with over 150 eggs!

Cole got race track from the Bunny

Bail and Cole checking things out.

Cole was so tired after the hunt at Shawn's he fell asleep with the balloon in his mouth.

Dying eggs.

Well this picture didn't turn out so grand lol.

We won this house at a Home Show. It's not big but hey it's free and the kids LOVE it!

I can NOT believe Richard and I was married 7 years ago! It has gone by so fast. I have loved being married to my best friend and wonderful husband! Richard is such a great dad and husband that I couldn't even imagine my life without him. We have accomplished so much in those 7 years that I'm excited to see what the next 100 bring! I love you babe thanks for all you do! I can't believe you chose me and I'm so grateful your all mine!

7 years later..

We went to Salt Lake for our anniversary and had an absolute BLAST! We slept ALL night long something I haven't done for a VERY long time lol! Thanks babe I love you so much and thanks mom and dad for staying up all night with the kiddo's!

Don't Pinch me cause I'm wearing GREEN!

2010-03-17T18:51:00.001-07:00

Today was such a great day. Bailee was sooo excited about St. Patrick's Day cause in Preschool they have been learning a dance/song for it and was told to wear GREEN! Well Bailee made sure we all had green on so we wouldn't get PINCHED!

I came home from visiting teaching and this is what I find. Bailee and Katelyn were twins and Kade and Cole where being boys and bugging them.

Crew has a girlfriend at the daycare. He's such a stud muffin!

Our new foundation!

2010-03-07T18:50:00.000-08:00

My sister-in-law let Crew barrow her jumper. Crew LOVES it he just didn't feel good when he got in it. So Richard got him out but then he cried cause he wanted back in! Poor kid couldn't make up his mind! Crew is now 5 months old. He's mastered the rolling over just hates when he's stuck on his belly. He's trying so hard to sit on his own but he'll have it down soon enough. He's growing to darn fast!

Bailee wanted to take a pictures of us.

Here it is! Our NEW house! We are more then excited to have it finished but yet we have really enjoyed living by my parents (kids are down there ALL the time)lol! From this angle you can see the cold storage and where the theater room will be.

Richard is standing by the front door and the garage.

The garages.

I'll post more pictures soon.

Crew is 4 months!

2010-02-18T17:24:00.000-08:00

Crew is the cutest, sweetest, noisiest, little stinker! Oh man I can't get enough of this little boy! I just kiss his chubby cheeks every minute I can! Crew is growing like a little weed! He started to roll over Feb 7 and now I can't get him to hold still! He loves Bailee and Cole and they love to make him laugh. They have to hold him any time I put him down. Cole sings Twinkle Twinkle to him and Crew just smiles and giggles when he does. Crew discovered his voice and boy oh boy I think I have another Bailee! I love you little Crewzer!

Catching up!

2010-02-18T16:53:00.000-08:00

This year has already been very crazy and so not what I expected it to be! We have been soooo blessed this year. I have started working FULL time at this local daycare place in Shelley. It was really hard the first week I was thinking what in the world did I get myself into. But things have gotten a lot better and the kids are doing better there also. I started to work there cause we decided we wanted to build again and well with a new house we want new things. So I decided to help out with money to pay for a lot of the stuff. We are building in Belmont Estates in Idaho Falls. We fell in love with the minute we drove in. We choose a lot right across the street from its private park so the kids could walk over and play. Our house will be finished July 31st! WAHOO! Pictures will becoming soon!

Here are some pictures of Valentines day and just some random stuff of what we have been up too.

This is Cole at the daycare, he wanted to be a baby that day! They had a Valentines party with the whole daycare....WOW it was CRAZY but sure FUN!

Passing out there Valentines. Over 60 Valentines each!

Decorating sugar cookies.

Ryan and Britton invited us to go Skiing with them. Well it turned out to be Richard laughing at me the whole time of how bad I sucked it up! It was still a lot of fun and man was I SORE the whole next week!

Aunt Julie always spoils each kid every holiday! She sent Cole this sticker book of trackers and Wreckers. Holy crap if I would have known this would have been the COOLEST present ever Christmas would have been a LOT cheaper! Thanks Julie Cole still stays awake every night looking at it and no one is allowed to touch it!

Moving/Birthdays/Moving/Christmas/New Years/AHH!

2010-01-13T17:40:00.000-08:00

Well this past month and a half has been probably the CRAZIEST we have ever been in our life! We sold our house December 8th and had to be out by the 30th. So between moving and getting everything ready for Christmas and oh yeah Richard's Birthday, Christmas parties, more birthday parties, and moving WOW did we need a day of SLEEP! Christmas was perfect, Richard's family came up from Taxes except Mindi due to foot surgery everyone was here. It was wonderful to catch up each other's lives and play with kids. The food was wonderful and man I'm am paying for it big time. Thank you so much everyone for our wonderful gifts. We sure miss Richard's sister's already! Wish Texas wasn't sooo far away.

Bailee was an angel for the ward Christmas party.

Richard's Birthday party, I put 28 instead of 29....oops!

Bailee was a big help this year and wrapped presents for us! Cole wanted to help so he wrapped his own blanket and well gave it to himself!

This was our first morning waking up in the apartment. Katelyn wanted to sleep over so we said why not it will only help keep Bailee from asking us a billion questions!

Cole is our official snow removal man!

Jessica opening her presents, Isaac and Liz threw her a surprise Birthday party!
Cole holding Crew on Christmas Eve. Crew is wearing Bailee's old Christmas pj's. I'm to cheap to buy new ones when those were only wore once!

All the kids got capes for Christmas. Thanks Candace for doing those up for us! The kids LOVED them.

We got my dad a Cotton Candy Maker....yummy!

Sorry Richard looks drunk we were extremely tired. I got him flamingo lights for the camper haha!

This is what Crew did the whole time....SLEEP! Way to enjoy your 1st Christmas bud!

Bailee and Cole showing off there reversible capes.

This is Monday morning. We were all so tired we just stayed in bed most of the day. But then after lunch we went and visited aunt Julie and aunt Paula.

Crew with Great Grandma Weaver. She is sure the sweetest grandma ever!

Cole is riding Ryan's dog Jess. Not sure how Jess felt but Cole sure had a blast!

We went to Ryan and Britton's for New Year's Eve and played some fun games.

The kids with aunt Julie. Bailee got to go shopping with Julie that day. She loves spending time with her. She sure loves Julie and is asking when is Julie coming up to stay in my closet...she was jealous that Julie stayed at Jordan's house and wanted Julie to come sleep in her closet. I wonder why Julie hasn't jumped on that one yet!?!

After Ryan and Britton's we went home to put the kids to bed and go play games with my family. Well the kids didn't agree to that so grandpa Eaton read them a story.

Crew is getting the CUTEST little personality when he isn't sleeping. He smiles and giggles ALL the time. We sure love this chubby little monkey!

Richard set Crew on the couch for 2 seconds while he went to the bathroom and came back and found Crew asleep like this! Poor kid :(

Hanna Montana comes to visit our house on a daily basis. Such a cutie. Well I hope you survived the picture over load! Thanks again to everyone who help us move and mom for watching the kids.

-Is holding his up better every day but still a bobble head

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree!

2009-11-30T12:29:00.000-08:00

Richard's family tradition has started to rub off on my side of the family. This year Isaac's family and Jessica's went with us. This year we went to Fall Creek which is BEAUTIFUL up there! I love Fall Creek. We were all a little tired this year even Bailee and Cole were exhausted from Thanksgiving and the running around. But we still had a great time.

Bailee and Cole would NOT smile for me. We realized when we put Bailee's snow pants on for the 1st time this year..umm they are a little SMALL!

This is Isaac's tree! Kayson and Kynna picked it out. Richard was trying to load it on the trailer yelling.."little full, LOTS of sap!"

Tad: Do you think this will fit my house?

Rich: How tall are you ceilings?

Tad: 7ft

Richard: TAD THIS IS OVER 20feet!!!

Tad: So you saying we need to take a little off? lol DUH!

Richard pulling Kayson on the sled.

Bailee and Kynna having a great time.

Cole finally gave up!

We were starving so we went to Sizzler. We all looked scary but the food was well worth the embarrassment of looking horrible. Kayson is showing me he got gum.

We got home put the tree up, put the lights on, and sprayed it with snow. Here is Cole doing the bottom half. Needless to say more ended up on him then the tree.

Richard sprayed a smiley face on him.

Bailee decorating the tree for FHE. We got the tree ALL done and Bailee was behind the tree some how. Yes, the tree fell over all the decorations fell off and some broke...couldn't help but laugh...later!

This is a random picture but Crew was sleeping so cute on my bed Sunday morning I had to take a picture of his chubby cheeks.

Crew had to go Black Friday shopping with us. He was WONDERFUL he slept the whole time, woke up at the mall to eat then went back to sleep till we got home! He's such a good little monkey!

Richard and Crew taking there Thanksgiving nap.

Bailee, Cole and Crew getting ready to leave to Nana's for Thanksgiving. Sorry its blurry my wonderful camera stinks!

Crew is starting to smile so Richard is trying to get one out of him.

Crew is getting big soooo fast! This is his 1st Thanksgiving!

For FHE last week Richard made hot chocolate in the snowman mugs.

Rich makes the BEST hot chocolate yummy!!!!

Once there was a Snowman!

2009-11-23T10:38:00.000-08:00

On Sunday Bailee asked Richard to build a snowman with her. So of course he did and it turned it super cute. Monday morning Bailee woke up and ran to check to make sure her snowman was still there! I think this winter were going to be making LOTS of snowman!

Bailee just adores Crew! Here she is reading books to him and as you can see he's falling fast asleep!

We went to this place in Pocatello its like Blast Off in Idaho Falls. Cole saved some of his tickets in his pocket of his coat. Well he couldn't find any pockets in his sweats so he stuck them in his underwear! Silly kid!

Cole and Mady at the Shelley playoff's in the mini dome. These 2 are the best of friends but man they sure can FIGHT! Congrats to Shelley for winning the Championship!

Bailee, Cole, & Crew's Pictures

2009-11-10T14:43:00.000-08:00

Miranda Johnson took the kids picture when Crew was a week old. She does such a wonderful job and has so much patience! Thank you so much! She took them in Black and white and Sophia but I just love the colored ones. Here is just some of the pictures but I put a lot on cause I love them all!

I adore this one! This is Cole's smile everyday! He's a little stinker/sweetheart! I'm so glad she captured him at his best!

This is the first picture we took. Cole was tired cause it was his nap time, Bailee wanted to play with Alivia! I was starting to think we weren't going to get any shots but luckily they both shaped up and we got some adorable pictures!

Crew's Blessing

2009-11-03T08:05:00.000-08:00

We had such a great weekend that we were exhausted by Sunday night! Sunday November 1st we blessed Crew. Richard did a wonderful job! The spirit was so strong and the blessing was beautiful! Richard always does an amazing job on blessing our children. I'm so grateful that my husband can bless our children.

Our family after church. Bailee had already changed clothes and Cole was way beyond tired! So this is the best we could do!

Our cutie Bailee!

Crew is such a sweet boy! I can't get enough of him. I just love how he's getting so chubby I love to squeeze him!

He's making a C for Crew!

My favorite boys in the world! I love you guys! Thank you to all our family and friends who came to support Crew. We love you all and were blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you everyone for helping us out this past month. Thank you mom for the wonderful food on Sunday! It was so nice not to be stressed out making dinner and getting everyone ready for church. Thank you everyone for making the day so special for us!

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-02T20:36:00.000-08:00

This year was a blast for Halloween! Bailee and Cole made it a blast for us! The pictures are all out of order but it started Friday morning for Bailee's Preschool. Bailee of course wanted to be Hannah Montana. She looked really cute and everyone called her Hannah which she still wants us to. Cole was a pirate. He wanted to be Transformers but I didn't think he would wear a mask. So I didn't want to spend money on something he wouldn't wear. Richard was himself for Halloween haha! j/k!

Richard and the kids getting ready to go trick or treating.

Bailee at the church carnival Friday night.

Cole taking his turn.

After truck or treating Bailee wanted to hand out candy so Cole had to help also!

Cole is so cute in this picture. He had fun killing Hannah! Crew was a frog waiting to turn into a prince.

The Taylor grand kids at Grandma Taylor's work. They did a trick or treating threw out it was really neat. The best of all they gave out good candy!

Wow are the hugging???

Bailee just got back from preschool and showing off her fun toys she got.

Crazy 3 weeks!

2009-10-27T21:01:00.000-07:00

Crew is 3 weeks old already I can't believe it! It's going so fast but keeping us super busy. We have pretty much adjusted to having 3 kids it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but its still a challenge to get out the door on time. Crew is such a good little boy. He only wakes up once a night to eat which is good. His sister just LOVES him. He's always in her arms. She is a wonderful help with Crew and also Cole.

This is where Crew has been the past 3 weeks....Bailee's arms!

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch. They had so much fun playing they didn't even care what pumpkin they got.

It looks so cold and yes the kids don't have coats on but it was really nice out which we were glad!

Bailee, Kynna, and Kaidance.

These guys are becoming best friends.

Yes, Cole and Mady r BEST FRIENDS!

Family picture without Crew. He got stuck in the car.

Cole mastered potty training without any problems! It took 2 weeks to fully get him going poop in the potty and once he figured it out he got to choose a prize. So he chose a remote control car and he LOVES it. It's so cute to watch him play it. Our poor walls will never be the same!

I think I have 20 pictures of Bailee cuddling with Crew.

Richard and Crew watching Nascar.

Us having a lazy day.

Kc just loves Crew she always asks to hold him.

Crew is definitely our little chubby monkey.

My cousin got back from his mission and the kids were outside playing in the leaves.

Crew meeting papa Anderson.

Crew getting loves from Granny Anderson.

FHE at Nana's house and we carved our pumpkins. Cole was doing an awesome job on marking up his pumpkin making it hard for us to know where to carve.

The kids piled on the chair to hear a scary story. Look closely you can see Mady's head poking out behind kayson lol! We have loved having baby Crew in our home. He is such a sweet little boy and I can't get enough of him! Thanks everyone for helping us out we are so very grateful!

It's a BOY!

2009-10-06T21:04:00.000-07:00

Crew William Taylor
October 4th, 2009
8lbs 20 1/2 in.
I started to have contractions around 2:30 in the afternoon on Sunday. Since Thursday I really didn't feel any movement and was started to get really worried. On Sunday I felt like something was not right so during conference I just went into my room and said a prayer that if something is wrong please let me go into labor to have this baby. Right then I started to have contractions about 5 min apart and then they grew closer and closer. We went and dropped the kids off to my parents and Richard and my dad gave me a blessing. We checked into the hospital at 7 and Crew was born at 9:20p.m. Ok so I decided this time around I wanted to try without an epidural and no pain meds. It wasn't so bad until the baby started to come out and then holy crap yes it hurt like HELL to tell ya the truth! I started to hyperventilate and lost all feeling in both my arms and couldn't move my fingers. Richard would try to make my hand into a fist and hands would just straight back out it was so crazy. We'll when Crew started to make his entrance Dr. C all of sudden says "STOP PUSHING get her to STOP PUSHING!" Crew had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck 3x and it was TIGHT! Dr. C was working as fast as he could to get those cords off. Right then I knew Heavenly Father had answered my prayer and that is why I didn't feel movement. He was so BLUE and his face was so swollen that we were all worried for a long time. Everything is all good now and he's doing PERFECT!

Richard couching me on my breathing.

This pictures doesn't even do justice on how blue and swollen his face was!

Me holding him for the 1st time. I do smile but I hate how swollen my lips are and it makes my face look twice as fat! lol

Grandma Sherrey holding Crew.

Aunt Jess

Richard giving Crew his 1st bath. He gave all 3 kids there 1st baths.

We were lucky Mountain View wasn't busy Sunday night and we got room #4 where Bailee and Cole were born. So now all 3 kids were born in the same room. I know I'm weird.

Crew with his eyes wide open.

So precious!

Can you say PROUD!

Bailee meeting Crew for the 1st time. She got over quickly that he wasn't a girl and is very happy to have another little brother.

Umm just a "LITTLE" excited lol!

I just love this pictures. My 3 beautiful children! I'm so blessed!

I love this one too! The kisses haven't stopped sense.

Bailee laying down with Crew taking it easy.

Crew getting ready to head home! WAHOO!

Right when we got home he had an explosion with poop and peeing all over himself. So I just gave up and gave him a bath! Welcome home Crew!

And this is where Crew has been sense Bailee has been home! In her arms. She is such a great help and a wonderful big sister! Thank you so much mom for all your wonderful help with Bailee and Cole. We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you also for the wonderful gifts from you Jess and Liz. Thank you so much to everyone who also helped out and for all the wonderful people who are bringing us food. We love you all and were so grateful for our new little "Crew". We just love him and so blessed to have him in our life!

Becoming best friends!

2009-10-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

Bailee and Cole have become really good friends lately. I haven't been watching as many kids and so its been nice to have a couple of days off during the week. Bailee and Cole have learned wow now we have to play with each other and hey your kinda fun! They are so cute and I love them so much!

This is Saturday during Conference they put on a puppet show for us!

We bought this toilet seat for Bailee and Cole to use when we are places that are "NOT" so nice! We just took it out of the box it hasn't been used yet so don't worry its clean!

It's been so cold lately that we've had to put on winter coats. They are outside drawing with chock and yes Cole would NOT put pants on for the life of him darn kid!

Bailee giving Cole a ride. He just loves his big sister! I'm so glad these two are starting to become such great friends! Yes, they still fight like brother and sister but hey the good moments ALWAYS over ride the bad!

Spud Day 2009

2009-09-24T16:43:00.000-07:00

Shelley's annual Spud Day was on September 19th. It was so FREAKING HOT! Holy cow I think everyone was dying of the heat. It was a lot of fun and all the kids were so good for being extremely hot. It was a great turn out of all the people. My dad had his wreckers in the parade so all the family got to be in it. The kids LOVED being on the hummer passing out treats. Although it think they ate more then they gave out!

Here is a family picture sorry I know I'm HUGE but I guess I needed 1 prego pic before I had the baby!

Most of the grand kids on the Hummer, Katelyn, Kynna, Sassy Mady, Cole, and Bailee. I love this picture.

Richard won the kids a couple of frogs. Cole would NOT let anyone touch them.

Cole was so exhausted from the heat but he still won't but down the frogs.

Liz, Katelyn, and Bailee watching the Derby! Every year my dad runs the derby. Now its the whole family that does it. It's so much fun cause every year it gets bigger and bigger and Jessica does such an amazing job on organizing it as you all know she is VERY organized person! Everyone did awesome on helping and putting it together to make it a big success!

2009-09-15T10:48:00.000-07:00

It's kinda cool cause Cole was born in the same room Bailee was and was born at 1:42 a.m. Bailee has been such a blessing in our lives and I'm so very blessed to have her. She defiantly keeps us going and is FULL of life! She is a very loud and outgoing child lol. I love you so much Bailee and thank you for being my daughter!

We had a great morning til it came time to put on pants and of course her panties don't fit with her pants. We have this fight every morning and yes we bought new panties for preschool so that we made sure they fit and what do you know they are to "small" even though they are a size bigger grrr! Oh well I guess I just have an OCD child lol!

Bailee was outside playing on the swings and got stung by a bee. Cole came running in yelling "MOM BAIWEE GOT STUNG BY BEE" and well Cole having already been stung 3 times this year knew exactly what to do! So we got the bake soda and put it water. Cole HAD to put it on Baiwee to help her out! Then he ran and got her a band aid for her "binger" lol. This kid is so funny and sweet sometimes then a LITTLE stinker most of the time! Bailee had to call daddy and tell him all about it. Sorry Bai :(

Shopping in Park City, Utah!

2009-08-14T11:29:00.000-07:00

So we are needing a little help with boy names this time. We are set on a girls name but can't decide on a boy. One week I like one name then the next its another name so I thought it would be nice to see what everyone thought was cute. If you have any other ideas that would be great! The middle name is going to be William. So please Vote--------->!
Yes, we are still doing a surprise we don't know what it is but we need both names to be ready.

What! Another whole week in Island Park!

2009-07-30T11:02:00.000-07:00

We got lucky enough to spend another week in Island Park. This time Richard got to be with us the whole week. We left Sunday evening after church to set up camp. Monday morning Richard parents Dean and Sherrey showed up with there camper. It was so nice to sit and relax the whole week and take 20 naps a day! The kids had so much fun they made the whole trip worth it!

Richard, Cole, and Bailee roasting marshmallows.

Cole's face just cracks me up! You might have to click on the picture to make it bigger to see.

Cole and Bailee wanted so badly to help peel potatoes and do you think Grandpa stopped them??? No way!

Richard was playing with the camera and kids! I just love Cole's hair here.

This is on top of Sawtelle Mountain looking over Island Park.

Sunday morning it was just our family so we decided to go on a long 4-wheeler ride. It was so fun not to care where we were and not have a time to be back. This is me and Bailee on the bridge somewhere in Island Park. Thanks for the great week can't wait to do it again next year!

Eaton Family Reunion in Island Park

2009-07-13T08:43:00.000-07:00

The Eaton Family Reunion was at Sawetelle Mountain Resort in Island Park. It was so much fun to go up early and just be with family. It was nice to relax let the kids swim, eat so much that I'm afraid of my Dr.'s appointment on Wed, and lots of laughs with family. Be prepared lots of pictures!

Cole helping Grandpa get Grandpa and Grandma Eaton set up.

Whitney (Jeff's daughter) and Bailee. Bailee being a BIG girl!

This just cracks me up! I love how she's eating and talking to the girls.

Bailee and Cole playing with beach balls in the pool. Sorry its really blurry.

Mady, Bailee, Kynna, Cole, and Kaidance playing toys in Kynna's tent.

So after swimming one night I was in the shower and I heard some giggling. Jessica comes in and goes do you know Cole and Mady are showering together. So I got out and Liz opened the door and this is what we saw! For the rest of the week those two had to take shower's together. They become just good friends it was cute to hear them giggling all week.

All the girls in the hot tub.

Cole took one of Nana's apple's juice cans and would drink it set it next to him look at it then take another drink. Over and over then Mady came and sat by him and he goes "Want some" Mady goes "Yea" so he hands it to her then goes "Ok enough" lol. Kids are so darn cute!

Cole and Mady sorry blurry again but by the time I got to take another one they were gone.

We celebrated Kynna's 6th Birthday up there. Can you guess what she wanted??? Hannah Montana lol.

Bailee and Cole being silly with there cup cakes. Sorry forgot to use my flash.

Kayson and Cole have so many of the same clothes. It's so fun cause they have the same color of hair and are buddy's. I guess that's what happens when the mom's like Old Navy!

On Friday we went threw West Yellowstone. I haven't been there sense I was Bailee's age I think. I didn't realize it was at least an 8hr drive threw the whole park! It was so good to see the Park again. Here's us at the Falls.

The 2 trouble makers at Old Faithful.

Us just before it went off.

Bailee and Cole watching Old Faithful going off.

Cole telling me there's fishes.

Every morning Cole wakes up first and checks to see if Grandpa is outside yet. Once he sees him then he runs out him!

Our last stop on Sunday was to Mesa Falls on the way home. Can you tell by the looks of kids and there hair that we were DONE! Kids were tired and hot and so were the parents! It was such a fun week and I'm so glad we got to spend time with family. It was so good to see all those who came. Thanks everyone for an amazing week!

4th of July Weekend!

2009-07-07T10:06:00.000-07:00

We had a great weekend visiting with family, friends, boating, and some yummy bbqing!

Friday night Richard took Bailee and I up on the roof to watch the fireworks that people were lighting off. I'm afraid of heights but I have been cliff jumping so many times in Lake Powell that you think being on the roof would be simple! HA! I thought I was going to a panic attack and Richard was so good to help me down right away. What a sissy! :(

Saturday Ryan and Britton took us out on the boat for water skiing and tubing. Cole and Bailee had a BLAST!

It's so hard to tell but in this picture is Me, Mindi with Bailee, Richard with Cole. Sorry its so far away the sun was shinning so bad you couldn't see a thing! Cole LOVED tubing in fact he almost fell asleep!

Jordan, Mindi with Elly, and Bailee. It was so cute to them giggling the whole time.

We headed over to our nieghbor's house for a BBQ and fireworks. It was so much fun to sit and relax and know we didn't have to fight traffic. Bailee went with my parents to the river to play with cousins. We had a perfect view of the River fireworks from our house which was very surprising!

Cole playing with the kids.

This is about 10 p.m. and Cole is fading very fast! He loved the fireworks this year. I can't believe another 4th of July has come and gone. This summer seems to be going to fast but were sure having a great time! Thanks Webbs for the great time and also Ryan and Britton for taking us out on the Lake!

Mr. Coleminator

2009-07-07T09:56:00.000-07:00

This is Cole at Bailee's T-ball game. If you ask him to say "cheese" for you he turns his head but keeps his eyes on you. He has the cutest personality but we have started lately calling him Coleminator cause man he is such a BOY! If we have a boy again I sure hope he's just like Cole cause he's the easiest kid!

Richard's 10 year Hight School Reunion

2009-07-02T12:45:00.000-07:00

My goodness I can't believe Richard has been graduated for 10 years! It just goes so FAST! As we were walking into the Shiloh Inn Friday night we both looked at each other and said were to young for this lol! Well the crazy weekend started Friday night at the Shiloh with a fancy dinner and dancing. It was a lot of fun I didn't realize how many people I would know. It was nice to get out with no kids and stay up till WHAT midnight! Yup I made it past 10 p.m. hehe.

On Saturday we had a lunch at the park with his class then we boating with Ryan and Britton.

Here is Richard, Erin (I want HALF her energy)!, and Mike.

A crazy shot of Cole and I.

Erin, Bailee, and yes me went tubing at 25 weeks prego but Ryan was an awesome driver and took us for a great time but yet very cautious! Thanks Ryan!

Cole showing of his yellow thumb!

Bailee at the park have a great time on the toys.

Richard rock climbing. Wow he's HOT!

Bailee and Elly sitting in a chair being to darn cute! Thanks everyone for the great time and for taking us boating! We want to go again!

My Water Babies!

2009-06-24T08:23:00.000-07:00

This month has been a little slow for us, Richard has started back up in school but takes another break in a couple of weeks. The next couple of posts are what we have been up to lately. We bought the kids a little pool and sprinkler and they have LOVED it! Cole has been in the pool everyday that he can from 8am-8:30pm NO LIE! Just before we left to church on Sunday we got him dressed in his church clothes and the next thing we know it he's in the pool! Luckily we got him dried in time! I didn't get a picture cause by the time I ran for the camera he was out.

Bailee saying Hi and yes its only 8:30 in the morning and 45 degree's outside!

But that doesn't stop them!

Let's get out of the HOUSE!

2009-06-24T07:59:00.000-07:00

As we all know the month of June has just been rainy everyday. The kids are so sick of being stuck in the house from winter and now from the rain. So a bunch of us mom have been going to the school for FREE lunch for the kids and then letting then play on the play ground. It has been WONDERFUL I don't have to cook or clean up the kids get to get out and run and have a new setting for over a good hour. Sadly it ends this week I think we all teared up and thought now what you want us to start cooking again lol. It's been great!

Kids love playing on the big play ground! Can't wait till they start doing it again!

Happy Father's Day!

2009-06-24T07:34:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday the week of Father's Day we went down to Blackfoot to eat lunch with Richard. The kids LOVED it! As you can tell by the pictures Bailee and Cole wouldn't let Richard go! It was a nice break not having kids crawl all over me this time!

Tuesday night we went to the LAME-O circus! They didn't even have animals this year! Except old ladies in short skirts dancing with poodles! YUCK! LoL

On Sunday for father's day we went to both grandparents house. At Nana's and Grandpa's all the kids were playing dress up. Well apparently Cole felt left out so he went and joined them and came out so PROUD in a BLUE skirt. He was laughing so hard that the whole room just busted up in laughter cause he was so cute! Sorry the pic is so fuzzy! Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's and grandpa's out there! We love you and appreciate all your hard work. We love you Tay daddy and thanks for being the best!

We're SELLING!

2009-06-09T10:59:00.000-07:00

It's official we put the house up for sale yesterday. Richard is almost done with school and so we are just trying to get ready in case we need to move out of state. We hope it sells with the market theses days but if not we will just try again next year. So wish us LUCK!

Daisy's Puppies

2009-06-09T10:51:00.000-07:00

Daisy had her 2 little puppies on Thursday. They are so cute and small! Sadly the brown one died Monday night but I think it had problems and was suffering. So it was a good thing for him to go. The white one is a girl and Sherrey has already taken clam to her. But well see if Dean lets her haha. Anyways besides the brown one Daisy and the little girl are doing great!

Bailee and Cole woke up Friday like it was Christmas morning they were so excited the puppies finally came! It will be fun to keep having more puppies in the house!

UP! UP! and AWAY!!

2009-06-09T10:39:00.000-07:00

We took the kids to the movie "UP" on Saturday to the 3D one and it was AWESOME! The movie is really cute but also VERY sad! The kids had a blast with the glasses. Cole was sitting on my lap at first and if something jump out he would jump really high cause he thought it was coming at it him. It was a fun time!

It was late in the afternoon and Bailee just couldn't keep her eyes open.

Bailee's 1st Game at T-Ball

2009-06-02T10:49:00.000-07:00

Bailee started T-Ball yesterday and I must it was the CUTEST most funniest thing I have ever seen. Those kids were so funny to watch that I can't wait till tomorrow for her next game.

Bailee sitting with her team. They are call the Lime Heads lol!

Bailee up to bat she hit the ball and it went far I was impressed but she ran to the ball picked it up and threw it right to the 1st baseman. I was laughing so hard cause she's just helped her self get out. They don't call out though and she learn very fast that she doesn't do that. I love you girl!

Bailee running to 3rd base.

Bailee is playing second baseman just like her mom was!

Cole got tired of sitting on the sidelines so he went out on the field to help out Dillon. They said he was fine standing out there so he did! Awesome job Bai I was so proud of you and thanks for the good laughs!

Lincoln 4th Ward Campout

2009-06-02T10:41:00.000-07:00

We did the ward camp out for the 1st time it was pretty fun. We went up to Falls Creek which was beautiful! I would love to go back and camp there again. Richard did an awesome job serenading everyone with the guitar around the campfire and daisy was a hit with how cute she is.

Here is Bailee being shy for some crazy reason.

Cole was the leader but not for every long till they realized he had no idea where he was going. He thought it was pretty fun though.

Right when we got home Bailee and Kade were jumping on the tramp with the sprinkler's cause it was finally nice and warm enough to get wet!

Memorial Weekend Camping at Spencer 2009

2009-05-29T07:30:00.000-07:00

For Memorial weekend it's become a tradition to go to Spencer. It was PACKED this year cause Island Park is covered in snow. We got there Thursday night and got our spot. If we would have came any later we would have been camping by the road. It was a great weekend good weather except Sunday but hey a little rain can't hurt right! The kids had a BLAST ridding there 4-wheeler's ALL weekend we couldn't get them off of them!

The guys and boys playing with there T-Maxx's.

What's a camping trip without paintball games. They guys had a blast and played all day Saturday and pretty much all day Sunday.

Las Vegas BABY!!!!

2009-05-04T09:45:00.000-07:00

Richard had the week off and we didn't want to stay home with this cold weather. So we headed to Vegas for the week! There is a ton of pictures sorry I use this for my journal. Anyways we had a great time and the weather was perfect. I would not recommend staying in Circus Circus with kids I would stay at Treasure Island cause its in the middle of the strip. We had a busy week and weekend with Bailee's Dance Recital to Julie being in town. I need a vacation from my vacation now ha ha.

Aunt Julie (Richard sister) came up from Texas for the weekend for an early mother's day present for Sherrey. I told Bailee Julie was coming to Grandma's house and she jumped up and down yelling YES we get to go to blastoff! She just thinks Aunt Julie is so fun! Julie took them to Burger Kings for lunch then to Blast Off then back to Taylor's for a little birthday party. Then after Bailee's dance recital Cole and Bailee got to sleep over at the Taylor's. Bailee had such a great time there Julie painted her nails did her hair and did lots of girly stuff. Thanks Julie for the great time!

Kaidance and Bailee...yes Kaidance is 1 year younger then Bailee and is way taller! Our poor kids! :(

Easter Sunday

2009-04-15T17:02:00.000-07:00

Sunday we woke up and had a laid back Sunday morning. It was so fun to relax and play with the kids. The the first time we were glad we have church at 1. The kids loved what the Easter bunny brought them. After church we headed to Isaac and Liz's house for a yummy Easter dinner and we ate WAY to much food. It was fun to eat and the let the kids run wild outside. Then we stopped at Richard's parents house to get some more yummy candy! Thanks everyone for making our Easter great!

Cole is into this trying not to smile thing he's so funny well see what he does next week.

Kids playing with play dough the Easter bunny brings some every year.

Bailee got a new Hannah Montana dress. Yes, I'm so sick of Hannah that I could SCREAM!

Cole has been into trains so much lately that I found this train at Walmart for $10 I know crazy!

Kids got new camping chairs cause well we need them and I got a new stroller. I'm so excited for it we told the kids the Easter bunny said I could go buy it cause we bought it on Friday when they were with us. It was such a great weekend to spend it as a family and so grateful for my wonderful children and AMAZING AMAZING husband who has been the best threw this whole pregnancy I can't thank him enough for all he as help me with! Thank you and I love you! Pictures of the Easter Egg Hunt are after the update of the baby. It got messed up for some reason.

Update on Baby!

2009-04-14T08:27:00.000-07:00

Well as you can see I'm almost 14 weeks and still sick. It's not all day sickness anymore just around 4-5 it hits then I'm done for the day. So at least its getting better. I went to the Dr. heard the heart beat everything sounds great. Just wanted to tell everyone thank you so much for helping us out and for taking the kids on days when I couldn't move. I really want to thank Bailee for helping me out so much. She tells Cole to call her mom, I know its sad but she takes care of him so much for me. She changes his diaper if its wet, fills up his sippy cup with juice and plays with him while I lay on the couch dead. She is such a blessing for me and the greatest help! She is best big sister ever! I'm hoping to get feeling better asap cause I don't want to go to Vegas and have it ruin my trip! Thanks again, Crystal

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-14T07:27:00.000-07:00

Saturday April 11, Shawn and Tiffany threw this AMAZING Easter Egg Hunt/BBQ! Tiffany has really turned into this amazing host that I'm scared to have Cole's B-day party cause there is no way I can come close to her! The guys BBQ outside while us girls snacked inside and had such a fun time just catching up on life with everyone. The kids were so tired by the time we left that Cole was asleep before we buckled him up! Thank you so much for the fun time and memories our kids got to make!

All the kids lining up.........GOOO!!!!!!

Cole had no problem picking up the eggs, the only bad part was he wanted to open each one and see what was inside!

Bailee is having such a great time!

Sweet a toy!

This is as good as I could get a picture of them. Heaven for bid I get a cute picture of them smiling!

Richard is such a great dad but I think he was more exited about opening the eggs then they were.

The 3 TROUBLE makers!

Bailee would have been just fine jumping off the bench all day!

SURPRISE we're EXPECTING baby #3!!!

2009-03-13T14:59:00.000-07:00

Yes, we are expecting baby #3 in October! I know it forever away! Bailee has been telling everyone I'm having a girl before we even thought of trying. She said she wants the room downstairs so her baby sister can have the her room. Then Cole keeps lifting up his shirt point to his tummy and saying baby. We are VERY excited but I'm ready to be over the morning sickness. It's been very hard this time around cause with 2 kids and daycare kids there really isn't anytime to rest or even run to the bathroom. We usually don't tell anyone till I'm 10 weeks and have heard the heart beat but we can't keep it quiet any longer. We are probably going to be surprised this time around cause well we already have a boy and girl and to make it more exciting till the end. Our 6th year wedding anniversary in on Sunday I can't believe its been 6 years!!! I love you babe and thank you so much for being an AMAZING husband and father and for being my BEST FRIEND!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Richard got me these sticker's for the suburban at Christmas to tell me he wanted to try for another baby.

Rock & ROLL!

2009-02-23T08:53:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we were going to take the kids sleding but it was so nice outside that it made the snow slushy. So we decited to go Roller Skating at the Star Lite Skating. It was so much but yet very tiring. When your trying to teach kids your back tends to be bent in a way that shouldn't be bent. Bailee had a ball and did awesome by herself. But she thought it would be fun to grab my hand to suprise me and when she did we slammed into the floor so hard oh man I felt so bad but SO DUMB!!!

Cole would wave like he was so cool but then you look at his bum he had the biggest plummer's crack...poor kid got his daddy's not butt!

Mom look i'm doing really good!

I loved Bailee and Cole's skates they were so tiny!

Will you except this rose?

2009-02-23T08:47:00.000-08:00

Richard brought home flower from work for Bailee and I and Cole was to cute! He kept grabbing one and smelling it then he would hand it to me. Richard told him to say " Will you except this rose?" Well he did the best he could but it was cute. I said "OF COURSE I WILL" and gave him the biggest kiss!

"Mom I want to be the boss now!"

2009-02-19T10:29:00.000-08:00

Bailee, "Mom I want to be the boss now I'm tired of you always being the boss!"
Me, "Well someday when your big and have children you can be the boss."
Bailee, "I already am a mom see (her doll)."
Me, "Ok boss her around then."
Bailee, "She doesn't do what I say she is just pretend and I want to be the boss now!!!"
Me, "Well I'm sorry but your only 4 and I have to be the boss or else you wont know what to do sometimes."
Bailee, "Well that is just mean, give me a turn!"
Me, "Sorry that's life."

You think I'm in for it??? Yup, payback stinks guess I should have been a better when I was younger lol.

"Mom I want Cheerleader Hair!"

2009-02-18T17:14:00.000-08:00

Bailee LOVES Hannah Montana and High School Musical...yes she is only 4 I know I'm in BIG trouble! Anyways she woke up today and goes "Mom for preschool and dance I want cheerleader hair!" I talked to my mom today and she said at the games lately she has been copying the cheerleaders. So I think we just might have a cheerleader on our hands. I'm ok with that as long as she's not a prissy stuck up snot! So we did pom poms for pig tails. She looked so darn cute!

The other night she played on the computer pbs kids for over 4 1/2 hrs!!! She wouldn't let Richard do his homework so he had to go downstairs to do it. We know who runs this house! HA HA!!!

COLE GET BACK IN THAT TUB!!!

2009-02-09T14:45:00.000-08:00

Cole's new thing is to get out of the tub and run butt naked round the house! He thinks its so funny and the funny part is he will go stand by the toilet and pee. So we always try to catch him before and put him on the toilet. No, as soon as you take him off he will stand next to it and go then laugh and run!!! AHHHHH such a boy!!!

FHE went wild and crazy!

2009-02-09T14:38:00.000-08:00

So we love Monday night's cause Richard takes 1hr out of school for FHE. The kids LoVe every minute they get with him! Were so glad he only has 1 more year left of school!!!

Sorry the kids look crazy and in Pj's but hey they still had fun right!

You can Blog this mom

2009-02-09T14:32:00.000-08:00

Bailee is turning into a teenage girl! You will find her in her room now with the music turn up loud to kids songs playing barbies. She loves for you to take her picture then looks to see if there good enough. Well just ask Jessica she has to get your approval to blog the picture. She looked so cute yesterday for church so we took some pictures for fun. She goes "Oh cute, you can blog that one, oh that's so cute mom you can do that one too"! Can you say were in for it! Then we were eating dinner last night and she started to sing "She hit the floor...she got low low low, boots with the fur." I was laughing so hard Richard goes did she just sing that I said yes, THANKS JESS!!!!

Just Random Pictures

2009-02-09T14:21:00.000-08:00

Nothing really exciting has been going on around our house. Just working and raising crazy daisy kids but life is good. Just thought I would post some random pictures of the kids.

We found these cute hats at Michael and the kids have loved them!

The other day I couldn't find Cole and I would say Cole and then he would giggle I came upstairs and found this. He's such a little characters it cracks me up!

This has been the kids lately always on me! It's nice to know they love me!

Bailee's Surgery at Mountain View Hospital

2009-01-13T16:25:00.000-08:00

Bailee has surgery today 13th at Mountain View Hospital at 8:30 in the morning. She had her tonsils and adenoids taken out. Then she had one tooth capped and two other teeth cemented. She did AWESOME once she was drugged! It was so nice to have Richard take the day off and help us. My mom came also to help with Cole and of course Bailee wanted her there. Sherrey wished she could have been there but due to work she couldn't get it off. Cole was so cute, of course he ate all he could, played and played trucks, and then he was ready for a nap at 9! Yeah, it was not fun but he did so good for waiting as long as he did! Sorry all the pictures are backwards.

Bailee is home now and all she wanted to do was lay down and watch toons while she ate grapes. I think we have watched the Tinker Bell movie at least 5 times now AAAHHH!!!!

Cole wanted to lay down just like Bailee, he brought out a pillow and his blanket. Bailee loved it cause he kept her company!

You can't really tell but she is grabbing her surgical hat if that is what its called and pulling it back and forth from her head. We all busted up laughing when we saw her doing it.

This is the part where mom starts cry cause her baby is going into surgery and it's out of her control. Its very comforting to know that when your talking to your Dr. in the room and you can see that he is wearing garments. It is for me at least.

Bailee wouldn't settle down so they gave her some "Special juice" oh man I wish I had some of that for home! She was so funny we couldn't stop laughing. She lifted up her arm looked at it and goes "What's that" and I said "It's your arm" and she giggled and said "Ohhhhhh". Then she was making piggy sounds and wrinking her nose. It was cute, I just wish I had some of that at home for her lol!

Cole found a red wagoon and just had to sit and play in it. At least it kept him happy for 5 minutes.

Bailee is covered with her blanket, her doggy, the hospital gave her a teddy bear plus all the hospital stuff! She is so funny, they just laughed when they saw her.

Bailee getting ready for the nurses to come and take her :(

Cole once again laying by Bailee cause he was worried about her.

Cole finally got over Bailee's bed and grabbed Bailee's hand when she was getting sad. It was so cute, then she had to let go for a minute and then he grabbed her hand again and held it for so long. He sure does take after his dad on being a sweet heart!

Cole was getting worried for Bailee and he kept climbing on her bed to get to her.

Bailee is starting to realize what is going on and is not happy about it!
The nurse giving Bailee her gown.

Bailee got a new puppy from Nana names "Spunky" she was so excited!

Bailee and Daddy reading a book before surgery.

Bailee's visit to the Dentist Office!

2009-01-08T07:34:00.000-08:00

Bailee has a bad cavity so we went to Dr. Randy Smith office in Idaho Falls. He was very nice and so good with Bailee. I recommend him 100% to anyone with children. Bailee got to lay on the chair and watch Beauty and the Beast with headphones. As you can see Cole got a little jealous and had to join her on the chair. I hope he remembers this when he has to go in. Bailee has surgery on Tuesday to get her cavity fix and her tonsils and adenoids taken out. Any advice on how to help her when we get home??? I'm very nervous for her and hope everything goes smoothly!

Rockin like my Daddy!

2009-01-08T07:21:00.000-08:00

My niece Hagin gave Bailee this cute guitar for Christmas. Bailee was so excited to run home and show her daddy! She called at least 10 times on the phone that day to tell him what she got. So when Richard got home, he went downstairs got his and started to teach Bailee how to play. It's been so cute to watch them play even though it's mainly Richard its still cute that Bailee is picking up on fast!

Christmas Eve 2008!

2009-01-02T09:10:00.000-08:00

I can't believe how fast Christmas came and went this year! It didn't feel like Christmas till the day of when the kids were opening presents. I love this time of year and the spirit it brings to everyone. The true meaning of Christmas is so beautiful and the feelings we get is amazing! Shawn and Tiffany had a party at there house Christmas Eve and it was so much fun! It was a perfect way to get in the spirit and mood for Christmas Day! Thank you so much for letting us come and party with you!

We had such a wonderful Christmas morning at home! It was such an amazing morning when the kids woke up and were so excited to see what Santa brought. It was so fun to play Santa and to think back to when I was little and remember the excitement I had laying in bed waiting to her Santa come. It was so fun to watch it being pasted on to my kids.

The kids out see what Santa brought!

"Mom look Santa ate all the cookies and drank all the milk, he must have been really hungry!"

Bailee, Payton, Cole, and Landon wanted to go play out in the snow. Friday night it finally started to snow and real good snow storm. The guys have been very busy with wrecker calls which we are so grateful for but also the snow finally is making it feel like Christmas!

Bailee enjoying the fresh snow to eat!

She loves making snow angels.

This picture cracks me up reminds me of the movie "Christmas Story" when the mom bundles the little boy up to keep him warm.

Bailee, Landon, and Payton playing.

Jessica was leaving for Utah this last weekend and ask if I could help her out with Hagin's birthday party. I said sure no problem. So Saturday at 1:30 I picked the girls up and we went to the mall for a couple of hours. Then we went and grabbed some pizza's then headed home. We had a very entertaining evening. We played Guitar Hero, Dance Revolution, and few games on the Wii, watched Twilight, and Four Christmas's. We had such a great time it was fun to be with Hagin and her friends. Richard enjoyed having someone to play Wii with that is actually good compaired to well me! Bailee thought it was the "Coolest" thing ever she said cause she got to have Hagin with all her friends sleep over plus Mckynna! Here is some fun pictures of the night.

~Lincoln 4th Ward Christmas Party~

2008-12-15T11:00:00.000-08:00

This year for the ward Christmas Party the Primary did the Nativity song and acted it out. They did a cute job and our Primary is so big they had a hard time putting all the kids in. So all the smaller kids were Angels which Bailee LOVED! She had to wear her white Angel dress to the dinner which I knew she would get dinner on. "No mom I won't I promise" yeah right. Well needless to say yes she got dessert all over! Oh well she still was the cutest little thing out there!

My baby Cole is not a baby anymore!

I started to watch Jake and Heather Currnut's kids and their baby Megan was crying. Well Cole went and got her bottle and put it in her mouth before I could get to her. So yup my little boy is not so little anymore!

Happy 28 Tay Tay!!!
