Fall/Halloween Fun at Hee Haw's!

Last Saturday we went to Hee Haw's in Pleasant Grove for the afternoon, we had so much fun. Taygan loved seeing the animals and petting them, she couldn't quite understand why she had to get off the pony, she wanted to keep going and didn't want the other kids to ride it, she thought she could ride as long as she wanted like she does at papa's. She sure loves horses, it is way cute. She got to go down the hay slide (Dad went down way faster than he thought he would, he almost dropped her), she rode the animal train, went on a trick er treat hayride (she loved her treats), she went to the pumpkin patch and did lots of other fun things. It kills me how big she is getting, she thinks she is so grown up it really makes me sad but she is so fun and I love to see her experience new things.

Taygan can say her name!!

No one believes me when I tell them she can say her own name, they think she is to young so I decided to take a video of it to prove everyone wrong! Sorry the picture quality sucks, I had to take it with my way old camera because my one I got for my B-Day decided it doesn't want to work anymore! Here it is, you may have to turn the volume up a bit oh and don't mind the bed head, she was just getting done with breakfast and was still in her PJ's.

Also, not to brag or anything but Taygan's Dr. is always saying how Taygan is his cutest patient, so yesterday I took her in for a checkup and there were two new nurses there and they were going crazy over her so we are sitting in the room waiting and I can hear the Dr. and the nurses talking outside, so he comes in and says well the nurses were out there just telling me that the cutest patient they had ever seen was in here and without even looking at the chart I told them I bet it is Taygan and he was right! He said I know you probably get this all the time but she really is the cutest and most charming patient I have ever had and I see a lot a patients! I told him I think so to but I am probably a little partial!!! Needless to say they all love her at the Dr. office and she loves to go which makes things much easier for me!

Happy Birthday Hubby!

I just wanted to wish my Hubby a happy birthday, and tell him how much Taygan, Oaklee and I love him and appreciate all he does. He always puts our family first and is the best daddy there is, his girls just love him (by girls I mean Taygan & Oaklee sorry no other baby yet Mom :) Thanks Hubby for all you do, I could not ask for a better Husband and father to my girls.

For his birthday I surprised him and took him to the BYU game last Saturday and got him some new BYU gear, it was way fun, we have never been to a game together and we don't really get much alone time anymore so we both loved it. Thanks to Dad and Stacey for watching Taygan and to our neighbors the Almodovas for getting us tickets.

Taygan's First Birthday Party!

Thanks to everyone who came to Taygan's first birthday party! Taygan loves all of the fun toys, books, cloths and blankets. Her birthday party was so much fun, she loved being the center of attention, she loved having her uncle Wylie and cousins help her open all of her gifts, but she was not so sure about having everyone sing to her and watch her eat her cake! I had fun making the food and yes I baked and decorated the cupcakes myself! I know, I know I am becoming quite the domestic goddess! Thanks again to everyone for celebrating this special day with us!

Taygan Lee is 1!

Here are some pics of our beautiful blue eyed birthday girl, I cannot beleive she is 1! She is so much fun, I never would have imagined that being a Mother could be so rewarding, I would not change it for the world. Taygan is such a happy little girl, she never crys, she loves to play with her dog Oaklee, listen to music, dance, ride horses, ride the 4-wheeler with Daddy, go for walks, play with kids, especially her babysitters kids they just love each other. She loves to wave, give fives, give kisses, hug, blow kisses and play peek a boo. Some of her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, applesauce, peas, green beans and PBJ Sandwiches. These are some pictures from I took on her birthday I will be posting pictures from her party!

Halloween Sneak Peak!

Check out our cute little bunny! Troy and I had been debating on what to have her be for Halloween, first she was going to be a Colts Cheerleader but I thought it would be to cold so I started looking for other costumes, I found a really cute black kitty costume that I loved and then this cute little bunny, Troy really wanted the bunny but I was hesitant but decided to let him choose and I am glad I did because she looks way cute in her little bunny costume!

Taygan is almost 1!

I cannot believe that little Taygy Lee is almost one! She is getting so grown up, she doesn't think she is a baby anymore. Her new thing is that she points to everything and says that, she wants to know what everything is. She also thinks that she is hilarious, she cracks up at herself all day long, she thinks everything she does is so funny, Troy and I get a kick out of just watching her laugh at herself that's pretty much our entertainment. Well that is the update on little Taygan, Troy has been very busy with work they have been working overtime pretty much all year which is great considering that there are so many other people in construction that are without work right now. We sold his 4-wheeler this past week and we are going to be getting a Rhino he could not be more excited about that and he is looking forward to the hunts. I have been staying busy with work and taking pictures, work has been busy for me as well and my photography business is starting to pick up, I hope to just be doing pictures before to long. Oakley's milk is almost all dried up and she is so glad to have the puppies gone, she has calmed down so much since she had them and she is finally starting to look normal again. Well that is it for the family update!

How about that hair!

As you can see Taygan's hair was out of control and it was driving me nuts so she got her first hair cut this week. I am sad that we won't be able to do her cute little pony tails for a while but it looks much better and hopefully this will help it grow in thicker and more even. She was sooo good while we were cutting it, it only took like 5 minutes and she didn't even move, we took the clippers to the sides and back with the longest blade on and then took like 1 1/2 inches off the top, I didn't realize how long it was until we cut it.

Poor Oaklee

Poor Oaklee, she is such a good Mom but I bet she cannot wait until the puppies are gone! The puppies are six weeks old now and they are so chubby and cute, I am going to be sad when they leave but I think Troy, Taygan and Oaklee are going to be glad. Troy is sick of cleaning up poop for six dogs, Taygan is sick of being used as a chew toy and being licked to death and Oaklee, well those poor tits I don't know how much more they can handle. We only have one left so if you know of anyone who may want one let us know!

24th of July

Here is a picture from the parade, it was a fun weekend, Grandma Karma came up from Arizona and went to the parade with us as well, we got to go to rodeo that night, Taygan only lasted about 3/4 of the way through since it was way past her bed time she is usually sound asleep by 7pm and the rodeo didn't even start until 8pm but she loved it she kept clapping at everything it was cute. And she loved picking on and pulling Aunt Brooke and cousin Kashton's hair who were fortunate enough to get to sit in front of us! On Friday my Mom watached Taygan while Troy and I went to Lagoon it was a blast, I love the new ride the Wicked! On Saturday we went with my Mom up to Park City and went shopping and then we went down the Alpine Coaster which is so much better than the slide, it was awesome and I have to admit I was a little scared. It was a great 24th weekend filled with lots of fun stuff and we got to spend lots of time with my Mom and rest of the family which was great!

Uncle Wylie's birthday party!

Little Wylie is 9 years old! I cannot beleive it, it seems like just yesterday when he was Taygan's size, it really makes me feel old. Taygan loved helping uncle Wylie open his presents but I am not so sure he was as excited about it as she was but he was a good sport. I cannot wait until her birthday, she is going to love it!
