Easter Sunday

I have always loved Holiday's but now I love them even more since we have had Tay! We have 9:00 church so Easter Morning was a little rushed. Taylee went straight for her basket and knew exactly what to do!

We tried to snap some pictures of her in her Easter Dress before church but she was not having it and the sun was so bright!

After Church we headed down to my parents house. We of coarse have to feed the horses every  time we go there!

16 months

My baby is growing way to fast! I sit and watch her play and interact with other kids and Just the other day it clicked that my baby is not so much a baby anymore and is more like a little girl! We just adore her!

Taylee Things

I have so many random pictures from the last few months of 2012 of miss Taylee and I know I am going to want to remember them and what she is doing at this age. She grows and changes so much every day.

She loves books and reads them several times a day!

Loves bath time! Santa brought her some bath bubbles and she does NOT like those. We will try again in a few months.

Dancing with her Daddy at the barn dance!

Decorating the Christmas tree. I was worried she would constantly be into the tree, but she only touched the lights a couple of times. She would rather get into the presents!

Giving her dog loves. She loves Ace she chases him around, steels his toys, plays tug a wore , Chases him around with his leash and says "sit". She loves him so much that Ace was one of the first words she said. She just forgets the A so she calls him sssss.

We went to the live nativity scene in American Fork. She refuses to leave gloves,mittens, or socks on her hands.

we went to the little village of lights in Ogden. She loved running around, but again would not keep anything on her hands so we didn't last to long. She also wont keep socks on.

Her knew thing is to sit in the laundry basket. She will sit in there for quite a while, and if you take her out before she is ready she will let you know that she is mad.

Grandma took the girls to build a bear and they made reindeer.

She loves putting things on her head. She wont leave headbands on but she will put them on and off herself.

We sure do love this girl!
Some other things she does at 14 months (well almost 14 months)

Walks/runs everywhere
Sleeps 11-12 hours at night (unless teething)
Loves her bink
Does not like milk
Loves pretty much all food
Waves hi and bye
folds her arms when you tell her to or you say lets say prayers
Knows where her nose is.
If you ask her what the cow says she says mmmmmm
says sit, mamma, dadda, eye, ace (ssss) whats that, no
dances anytime my phone rings or if she hears music
You ask her to jump and she squats up and down
loves patty cake and her favorite part is throw it in the oven
gives high fives
Gives a loud high pitch squeal when she hears Jason come home from work. Daddy's girl for sure!

Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas and I am sad it is over. I am also sad that I didn't take very many pictures.

Christmas Eve we spent with the Erickson family.

cute cousins

My cute little family

Christmas day we opened presents at home and then headed down to my parents where we had a yummy prime rib dinner and got to skype with my Little brother who is on a mission.

Santa brought Taylee this little Ball house and she loves it! 

She got really good at opening presents

Those of you who know me know I cant handle surprises! I snoop and always know what I am getting.  This Christmas was full of surprises! Jason double wrapped my present and then wrote all over the tape (just in case I opened it before Christmas) In the past I may have opened my presents and wrapped them back up or blamed it on the dog. It was fun to be surprised and he did good!

Probably the best Present ever was skyping with Elder Waddoups. It was also bittersweet because saying goodbye was really hard. Only one more Christmas away and he will be home!



We hope every one had A Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Ice Cream Birthday Party!

We had an Ice Cream Party for Miss Taylee.  

My cute sister in law made her invites. 

My mom made the adorable table cloth

Some of the toppings and root beer for root beer floats.

Jason cut out a wood #1 and then I covered it with sprinkles.

My mom had this yellow frame and it worked perfect for her party.

The favors!

I used chalk board markers which I like a lot better then chalk!

The birthday girls spot!

Taylee and Grandma. 

Her new toy!

present time!

I love her face! We all started singing to
her and she was not sure what was going on

She didn't like the frosting on her hands
but she did like it once she got to the cake!

Maybe a little too much cake!

Thanks for everyone who came to help celebrate her special day. We sure do love this little girl!
