Such A Big Girl!

This morning Taylor had her first taste of Rice Cereal! She wasn't quite sure about it and she really just wanted to hold the spoon! Dr. Ring said it was time to try it. . .but Taylor thinks maybe she wants to wait another couple of days before trying this stuff again! I had her bottle sitting next to her and she kept looking over at it, eventually she made it clear that she wanted her bottle! Daddy got all of it on video because of course this big day needed to be well documented! She probably only swallowed 5 or 6 spoonfulls. . .but it was her first try!

Grandma & Grandpa Dearinger Visit!

Taylor is one VERY spoiled girl! Grandma & Grandpa Dearinger were here for a visit and she loved every minute of it! Here are a few pictures of all the fun things we did together! First time to the park, helped make cupcakes with Grandma & Mommy, went to Bee's game for Grandpa's Birthday, went to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens, got two new "big girl" toys to play with, and LOTS more! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa D for everything...we had a great time!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Taylor Bell!!!

Happy 1 st Birthday to you!!! Tay got to go to her first birthday party for our friend Taylor Bell's 1st Birthday! What an event...and I mean it! Carolyn went all out for her little sweetie, did you get a look at that cake??? Um ya, she made that...all by herself! Seriously impressive! I now HAVE to do that for my Tay's 1st B-day...in purple of course! :)
Tay wore her special crown dress that "auntie" Dori gave her and she loved watching her friend Taylor Bell open all of her all gifts...and there were a lot! We love you Taylor Bell...what a fun year this has been! I remember when your Mommy first told me she was pregnant...and how excited she was when she called after her Dr.'s appointment and said..."of course it's a girl"!!! We screamed in delight! You are so cute and such a great little friend to Taylor Ann! Happy Birthday, we love you lots!

Gardner Mill Picnic!

This month we had a company picnic which was so much fun! As you can see we got all the babes together for the first time and the best part.....I won the jelly bean contest!!! We had to guess how many jelly beans in the huge jar you see Tay sitting by. I randomly guessed 3, 222 jelly beans, I was the closest! The actual number was 3, 237...that is a LOT of jelly beans FYI! Oh and did I mention that I won $250 bucks!!! YIPEE!!! Jelly Beans on me everyone!
For those of you who don't know who all these cuties are (the babies I mean) let me give you the list!

Happy 4 Year Anniversary!

I can't believe that Ryan & I have been married and living in Utah for 4 years! We have had a fun adventure together so far and I look forward to what our future holds for us! This anniversary was very special for us because we got to celebrate it with our baby girl! In past years we have taken a vacation for our anniversary, but this year we decided being home with our little family was just perfect. It was special for us to just all be together, Haley included! Here are a few pictures of our little adventure we took together in Park City on our anniversary weekend! Happy Anniversary Ry, I love you!
