Taylor turns "13"

I can not believe I have a teenager in the house. Taylor turned the big "13" yesterday. I made his favorite pancakes with chocolate chips in them, whipped cream and Hershey syrup. I also wrapped him up in crepe paper the night before so when he woke up he was stuck. I took him Ice Burgie for lunch and he wanted Pizza and Salad for dinner. I think Grant is going to take him out to his favorite restaurant this Friday. We had a small family party which was fun.

Teaching Ellie some wrestling moves

Taylor teaching Matthew some wrestling moves

The Big Match. I think in this picture Grant is teaching Taylor some wrestling moves.

Taylor got some balloons from a good friend at school. He thought they were from me so he didn't bother to open the card, until someone told him who they were from. In the other hand he is holding a new camping shovel.

Matthew was so excited for Taylor to open his presents. He asked me at least 30 times during the day, "When can T.J. open his presents?"

In door basketball..Something I think Grant wanted him to have so he could play church ball with him twice a week.

Strawberry cream cheese pie was his request and it was granted of course!

I love this picture of his grandparents giving him a great big hug!

Taylor received some A.E. clothes, indoor basketball, camping shovel, Kendal case, Dart Board and some T-shirts.
Happy Birthday my Boy

Where has the time gone...Mia is three months old today! She smiles all of the time and started laughing two weeks ago. We tickle her around her neck and she laughs. Mia is holding her head up so well and still does not take a pacifier. We are not giving up. Mia is our first good sleeper and is sleeping through the night for the most part and loves to be held.

Mia's big day

We had a wonderful day yesterday. It was filled with family and lots of love. Mia was blessed. Grant said a wonderful blessing. He is getting more and more emotional with each child of ours. Bryan and his family came along with my brother and his family, my parents and grandpa. It rained all morning so we moved the get together after church inside which worked out great. We put the kids out in the garage with tables set up. My mom and I made a assortment of soups, salads, rolls and lots of deserts. I love my family and I am so thankful for the gospel!

I love this picture of mom and Mia

My awesome friend Libby came over again to take pictures of Mia in her blessing dress. These pictures were taken November 3 and her blessing will be this Sunday the 7th.

Halloween

I love Halloween!
Thanks to my wonderful mom and all of her help. This year Taylor was a body parts sells man (he won a prize at the school parade for best costume), Ellie was a barbie doll, Matthew a lion and Mia was a beautiful flower who hated her hat.
