Have you every had a night where you slept so good, and nothing could have gotten in the way of it? Well that must of been the kind of sleep Taylor got last night, because when she woke up this morning this is what she looked like.

I am just a little behing on my posting might we say? I have been especially busy recovering from the holidays, although I don't know if I should call being lazy recovering. Anyway needless to say we had a wonderful christmas. it was a joy watching the kids excitement as usual. I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday as much as we did. We wish you all a very happy New Year!

Taylor was sick on Christmas,so she just sat back and enjoyed the other kids excitement.

Every year the kids and I do gingerbread houses. I always love it when we can find something we all enjoy doing together. and anything that has to do with candy we can all agree on. I love my kids so much and am so greatful that I get to stay home and spend time with them. These are the moments that I will never forget. what amazing kids I have! I love you guys.

I haven't posted forever but as you can see I have pretty much got the house together. other than I have a lot of cabinents to decorate if you have any cute ideas send them my way. We are loving our house and the ward so much. we are very lucky. although we do miss clinton we are settling in very nicely. We hope all of you had a great thanksgiving. we send our thanks to all of you for being great people in our lives.

our soon to be house

So I thought I would post some pictures of our house since I haven't posted any since construction began. I am getting very anxious. The only thing left to do is cleaning and touch up things, oh and our fridge is too big so we have to go shop for a different one. other than that we are almost ready to close.

watch our little one grow!

I thought it would be neat to show how quickly babies change in just one year. They go from doing nothing but eating and sleeping to walking and maybe saying some words in only one year. It is amazing to me that god has sent us these beautiful gifts. Taylor is an amazing little baby girl. She has brought so much joy to our family, we love her so much. she is our calm and kicked back child. she just goes with the flow. She is now walking and can hold the phone up to her ear and say Hi! She also greets people with hi when they come in the door. she also sais bye and shakes her head no. She is starting to think she can do everything on her own. We are so blessed to have you Taylor and your family loves you so much. Happy Birthday.
