SO IT'S OFFICIAL

Well.............we are making the leap! (Erica sorry if this is the first time you hear this!!!) We are moving into our house in Syracuse! If you are wondering, YES, this was a very sudden decision but we are extremely excited! It will be a little bit of a process! I went there the other day to clean it up from the renters, who apparently forgot that someone owns that house! Our lawn is dead and full of dog poop, I don't think they vacuumed once in the 6 months that they lived their! I have filled the vacuum many times with dog hair and I haven't even gotten to downstairs yet!

Anyway, we are getting it all cleaned up and will be moving in 1-2 weeks! Super excited to be close to family and friends. We are also very sad to leave the great friends we have made in Provo! It has been a truly wonderful experience! We have learned a lot and have loved living so close to my brother Roger and his cute family!

Jaime and I have had many spritual and growing experiences in the last few months and are very grateful for them! I will definately post pictures when we get all of our stuff moved in!

Stay tuned........

Long time-No write!

Hey ya'll! Just wanted to give you an update! Things have been pretty crazy for a while! We are trying to prepare our house here in Provo to put it on the market. (excited and sad at the same time!) The hard part is that all of the homes around us have been for sale for over 1 year, so it is hard to get too excited about it! Also we really love our friends and ward here in Provo! However, we are excited to eventually make our way to O-Town!

I have been working doing computer network stuff for Jaime's Dad's law office! And Jaime has been working in Ogden a few days a week as well so we have been back and forth quite a bit!

I have also been super busy with young women's! We just had girls camp about 1 1/2 weeks ago and it went really well! It just took a lot of preparation, but it is all over!

I also competed in the Provo Vocal competition, and didn't do very well, but it was a great experience! Between that and the Jenny Phillips workshop, I realize how much work I have cut out for me if I want to be in the music business! But it won't stop me, I will keep moving forward!

Macie is almost 10 months old now and she is probably the cutest, biggest chunk you have ever seen! She weights 23 pounds and that is more than taylor weighed when she turned 1! I always say, as long as they come out small, I don't care how big they get after that! Plus she is just so fun to squeez so I love it!

Taylor is still definately 3! Still asking why and argues with everything I say............ and I mean everything! But she is very sweet to her baby sister and sometimes to me so that makes up for it!

ANYWAY...LONG STORY LONG! Life has been a little crazy so sorry if I have been a bad friend to anyone, but I don't mean to be! Just need to focus a little more on our little family at the moment!

Well, now that we are up to speed, I will see what I can do about being better at this Blogging thing! Love you all and I will post pictures soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!

My beautiful Taylor had a birthday on Saturday and she is now 3 years old! It is very apparent because like one week before her birthday she started asking WHY about everything!

For her birthday party with my family, we went to an awesome park in Salt Lake and had a picnic! It is fun because Taylor and her cousin Sydni have their birthdays 10 days apart so they always get to celebrate together!

I found a fun idea for decorating! You take the foam swimming noodles which are typically shaped like a flower. You cut them with a bread knife into pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches thick and you end up with a bunch of flowers! So I strung them and hung them from the trees! Turned out really cute! Also, because there is already a hole in the middle you can use them for napkin holders or candle stick holders! Super cute! Total decorating cost for her birthday party, $3.50!!! Not too shabby!

With Jaime's family, we also did a party at his parents house and had a great time! She got so many new outfits that I probably won't have to go shopping all summer! And boy were they the cutest outfits I have ever seen! She had so much fun opening all of her presents that she forgot to look what was in them! As soon as she got done, she would just move right on to the next one!!!

Also, since Taylor was born her Papa has been wanting to take her on a motor cycle ride! He used to theaten to strap her car seat to the motor cycle when she was like 6 months old!!! I always told him that he had to wait until she was 3 years old which always seemed so far away! Well here it is and she had a blast! When they got back she asked, "Papa, why are we back?" and the whole time they rode she would ask, "Papa, why are we going so slow!!!" She is quite the dare devil!

WHEEEEEEEEW! What a weekend!!!

Finally a new post!

We decided for family night to take a trip to the golf course! Let me start off by explaining that Jaime is lucky enough to have a free pass to this beautiful golf course Mondays through Thursdays and he can bring anyone along for free as well! So looks like our date nights this summer will consist of free golf and I am actually really excited! I am definately a work in progress but I really enjoy going! It was also really fun to bring Tay along because she just ran....and ran....and ran! Lots of grass! Needless to say, she slept like a baby that night!

Well... Do I at least look official?;) This is Jaime in his realm! There are not

many things he loves more than golf!

This is my new favorite country song! I pretty much am having a love affair with his voice! Check it out!

Taylor got a hair cut!

I decided to give Taylor a hair cut for the summer and I just love how it turned out! First of all her hair was always in her face because I have been growing out her bangs and second, I just wanted a change! Lets just say I should be a professional hair cutter!!! ;)

BEFORE

AFTER

Before I styled her hair she wanted me to take pictures of her haircut so here are some of the faces she pulled while she was "Smiling" for the camera!




















So Pretty much I can't tell her to smile for the camera any more because this is the result that I get!!! Every kid goes through that stage but it just seems to be funny every time!!!



Here is a shout out to Macie! For you ZOOLANDER fans out there here is BLUE STEEL!
