Hill Aerospace Museum

We went with some of my family up to the museum at Hill Air Force Base a couple weeks ago for a very fun and educational summer-time field trip. Here is Max with my Uncle John. They are pretty good buddies.

Dinosnorzzzzz

Daddy and Max got to go to a Dinosnorzzzz sleepover at the Thanksgiving point Dinosaur Museum this summer and here are a few pictures from Taylor's phone of the fun time they had!

Daddy and Max went on a special date to a

Daddy Daughter Ball

Here are some pictures from Taylor's phone of the wonderful time he and Anna had at the Daddy daughter ball. It was fun to see Anna feeling so special and beautiful and princessy that she hardly knew what to do with herself as they were leaving. Cute girl!

What a Dad!

We love our Dad because... (compiled of thoughts from Max, Anna, Charlie, and me)

He is the fun parent. Mom can't compete. He can (and is willing to) give up to three children a piggy back ride at once. He wrestles in his suit.
He is strong. Max says dad can pick up our house, and one day Max will be able to too.
Dad reads us stories, and makes us yummy food (like cereal for dinner) when mom is gone. He is really, really smart and handsome.

We love you dad/Taylor!

Happy Father's Day!

St. George!!!

So we are so good here--because it is finally sunny, and because we officially started off summer with a really fun vacation. We spent last weekend in St. George with Grandma Mary Ellen and Grandpa Guy and, of course, had such a great time. We loved all the sunshine (especially since we left a lot of cold wind here in Lehi) and we loved the swimming, and we just really love Grandma and Grandpa and being at their house. Anna and Max and Charlie ate with the Mickey Mouse spoons, which I know are really fun to eat with. Grandpa and Anna sang songs. We ate peanut butter cookies and had fried potatoes for breakfast. We played games. We fell asleep reading stories, but stayed awake in bed. We stayed up late visiting. We looked at pictures and read letters. We took a picnic to the splash park. We wore ourselves out swimming in the pool. We all just had so much fun. Fun Memories. Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa!

Some of Spring

We went to Hannah's for dinner one weekend when Heidi was visiting and Wesley entertained ALL the kids with his Nintendo DS.

Max and Paige playing hide and seek. They're getting to like each other I think!

For Mother's Day we took Mom to Thanksgiving Point for a day, which has become our annual tradition.

And for Memorial day we went out to the beautiful Cedar Fort Cemetery, where we got rained on for the fiftieth year in a row. It is spring!

Rough Night

Rough night. Not the most flattering picture of me. I found it among all the pictures we just dumped on the computer from Taylor's phone. I hope when I look at this one day I will remember how much I liked to wake up to a sleeping baby in my bed. Not regularly, of course. Just sometimes. Especially after a night of that baby being sick and sad.
