Eight in a Row!!!

That's right, my little cutie slept for EIGHT hours in a ROW last night! Life is bliss when you go to bed and don't open your eyes until the sun is up.

Here she is this morning. Isn't she sweet!

And a couple of days ago (just because she's cute):

Picture Time!

Our Friends, Brett and Emily, came down for conference weekend with their two boys. It was SO fun! Emily took some pictures of our girls. She is a fabulous photographer! (as I'm sure you can tell!) So we thought we'd share.

It was hard to choose, but here are a few (I guess quite a few) of our fav's:

Love My Girls :)

Thanks Emily!!!!

More Mishchief

Many of you have heard the little "funny" things Brecken has done with Taylor, such as carrying her up the stairs, or rolling her underneath my bed etc. etc. I have one more to add to the list. Today after grocery shopping I brought Taylor inside in her car seat asleep. I went upstairs and wasn't too worried knowing that Brecken doesn't know how to unbuckle the car seat. I heard a few cries coming from Taylor so after a little while I went down to get her and this is what I found:

That's right the little yelps were coming from underneath the car seat made by my helpless dangling baby!!! (and no she is not in there for the photograph, that was taken later for visual purposes) SIGH...... What to do with the three year old??!!

And because Taylor wasn't smiling for the last post:

And here's the little "Destroying Angel"

Look at that face! Would she really do that to her?

Love my girls! :)

Tummy Time

As you may have deducted from the title, we decided to give Taylor a little tummy time. She was being so cute and holding her head up so well.... That is, until I pulled out the camera. But I thought the pics were cute anyway... even if you can't see her face.

She's just trying so hard!!

And at that point, there was no getting a smile out of her, even on her back... Poor baby :(

Brecken on the other hand is a champ at tummy time...

Well, most of the time :)

Love my Girls!!!

Two Weeks -- And NO Camera!

So Russ and I decided on a whim to take a trip and ended up being gone for almost two weeks! The downer? Well as you probably guessed from the title, we forgot our camera! We celebrated my mom's 50th birthday in Grantsville, headed down to Sunny Saint George and relaxed with the fam down there, and then swung on over to American Falls, Idaho to top off our "Tour de Family." We do have a few pics of Saint George (Thanks Kari) so it won't be a completely boring post... unless you were already on Kari's blog and saw all the same pics :)

Brecken and Jordan. She just LOVED him and is still talking about him and how fun it was to be with him.

Jackson and Taylor. He was SO sweet with her!

And Chandler with Taylor. This rough and tough boy was so amazingly sweet and gentle with Taylor!!! He needs a baby sister! Right Kari? ;)

What a FUN trip!! Let's do it again!!!!

Daddy's Surprise!

On Monday I was on the phone with Russ when he told me he had a surprise for Brecken. A sucker? A candy bar? She would have been ecstatic with either one so I didn't put much thought into it. But, boy, was I wrong! New Bedding!! Needless to say I was shocked at his thoughtfulness. And Brecken... Well she couldn't stop squealing :)

Thanks, Dad!!!

Ok, I have to finish the story... After spoiling Brecken, Russ reached into his little surprise bag and pulled one out for me. A new shirt! Wasn't that sweet? He knows that my favorite thing to get (yes, shallow) is new clothes! So he went from "World's Best Dad" to "All- Around Greatest Guy" in about .2 seconds. But then, I already knew that :)

And just because she's cute:

Does the scene from A Christmas Story come to mind when Ralphy's dad says "You look like a pink nightmare!"? I think she has Ralphy's same expression :) Of course, she's much cuter... he he he :)

Six Heavenly Hours!!!

She did it! She slept from 12:00 am to 6:00 am, no peeps or squeaks! How did we celebrate? I took her out to the rocking chair for an all you can eat breakfast! Of course I am not expecting this to be the norm, but I have to admit, it was really, really nice! But as much as I LOVE sleep time, my favorite time..... awake time :)
