the many faces of TAYLOR ... self-portraits

Cousin Haley got married

Haley and Cameron were married on Thursday, in the Logan Temple. It was an absolutely beautiful day and Haley couldn't have been more stunning. I forgot my camera but did ok with the phone. If you look closely Brock is over Erin's shoulder. Sorry Joe, I didn't get you.

Nan took the girls for manicures the evening before. Nan said one nail got messed up bowling ??? Erin commented that the nails were in the way of everything - she looked fabulous though. Paige got a pedicure and was so excited about her "cute toes" with her great shoes. By the end of the day her feet were uncomfortable but they looked incredible.

It was fun for our kids to be involved. Anna especially loved all the cute babies - Erin's cute Lincoln and Andi's Jack Jack (Kaylee Jo is holding him in photo). Jack Jack loves cell phones, food and I noticed he also liked his favorite Auntie Shauna. Good call dad for the babysitter during the dinner for Monster Alec. I didn't see any other little ones running amuck like ours would've been

can you believe TAYLOR is 8

Thank you to all the family and friends that were here for Taylor on Saturday! To the rest of you - you were missed and loved. I didn't get pictures of most family with Taylor. Thank you for your love and support!

birthday cake from Grandma/pa Godfrey

Hooray for Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey. They sent a birthday cake home for Alec and Taylor. Silly mom, we only had a 1 birthday candle. Alec was a pro blowing it out after watching his sisters earlier in the month. It is wonderful to see these two enjoying each other and being such good friends.

ultimate birthday party

Taylor had the greatest birthday party. She wanted to stay at home and play games. They made paper airplanes, had a boy/girl tug-of-war, played red rover, popped balloons, attacked a pinata and more. Unfortunately, we ran out of time for the 3 legged race ... next party.

Happy Birthday Alec

sadly, Alec is the fourth child and neglected - good thing he doesn't know any better It was his birthday today/yesterday, Friday, Oct 3. I did teach him to say 3, we'll see if he remembers it tomorrow. His answer to every question is "Annie" He loves a little girl in our ward, Annie Tueller (cool last name!). She is 4+ months younger and he talks about her. She may be the only thing he does talk about. He used to say her name to the how old are you question and what is your name. We're working on 3 and Alec for better answers. His birthday was overlooked from the start. We did an airport shuttle (if anyone needs a ride we'll help) this morning right out of bed and the day got going without any excitement. Todd got him some cool baseball "stuff" that every 3 year old needs but it didn't get wrapped and it is in the corner of the dining room. Perhaps he'll get it tomorrow - or Sunday is pj church so then. Taylor and I took him to see Kung Foo Panda while Todd and Anna went to the USU BYU game in Logan. He loved the movie, carried the popcorn and I even bought him a rootbeer. After the movie we stopped at Wendy's and got everyone a CHOCOLATE frosty.

TAYLOR IS TURNING 8 ... getting Baptized

Taylor will turn 8 on September 29 She will be baptized on Saturday, October 11 at 9:00 am This Mom intends to send something to "everyone" so you know date & time Don't hold your breath waiting for the mail - I have best of intentions but end up hoping for word of mouth

Anna Turned 12 in style

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!!!!! Anna and three friends, and sister Taylor, went to the beauty college for a new "look" It was a great time and extra fun since there was a fund raiser at school that night so they got to show off. I can't believe Anna is 12. It's one of those measurement birthdays. She went to Young Womens today - no more Primary. Cousin Parker is next to turn 12 and graduate from primary.

as if we have nothing else going on

Zinga, the hamster momma, pushed this little one out of the nest (or so we think). We tried to put her/him back up with a spoon but she was rejected again. After walking with eyes closed, and mouth open, around the bottom of the cage Mom Shauna finally gave in and got kitty formula and a little bottle. She drinks it pretty good and today liked eating bread soaked in the milk. Anna finally gave in and held her today. She's been too worried about her size and hurting her. We're hoping that she's a he so we can keep the dad, Coco and this little one.

There are still 3 others being taken care of. If you want a hamster we have one.

Hampton Court for Sale

we made an offer on the house at the bottom of our circle and they accepted it !?

great home but now we need to sell ours

oh my!

We want Greg and Jen and the boys to buy ours but they won't commit. Wouldn't Alec (and the girls) LOVE having those boys at the top of the hill! If you know of a Salt Lake family that is looking or thinking about it we'd love a great family in this home/neighborhood.

BEAR LAKE ... we are now fans of the KOA

We went to Bear Lake for a last hurrah before school. We heard the KOA there was good so we gave it a shot. We were mid week so I'm sure that added positive points for few people. Shauna used to joke about KOA's and our friend told us that as a child of a single mother they loved them but only went in the wee hours of the night to clean up in the bathrooms. We stayed in a Kabin and had a great time. Love kamping with a shower and tile bathroom floors. Kids loved the banana bikes. If anyone knows a source to buy these at a deal we want some.

We also had a ball at the actual Bear Lake. The water was more cold than I remembered, we loved the extremely shallow pools. Pyper really needed a bath after this weekend

Pickleville fun

Taylor said that was the best show she has ever seen - I'm sure it helped to have a fun & gorgeous cousin in the show. Thanks Haley for sharing with us. oh-extra bonus - Taylor signed up for tap this week.

A Hamster Problem - they can have babies every 3 weeks

Anna's girl hamsters, or so we were told, had babies about 3 weeks ago. One boy and one girl, or so we think. This morning Anna noticed all were huddled together, looked in and now there are more baby hamsters. It looks like 4 or 5. Hoopefully, this is the last set of babies. Anyone want a hamster? (baby or adult)

morning at the park

"I like baseball"

Alec practices setting up as much as hitting and catching.

He can even do the moves in slow motion

Set Up

Alec LOVES baseball He watches the Sandlot and pro games with dad and has all of the moves down. He taps home base with his bat, knocks dirt off his shoes and now he points to center field. Alec insists on running to 3rd base first and loves to slide into the pitchers mound

Surprise for Morgan ... Pyper

Morgan went with Grandma and her friends to the Shakespeare festival.
Word is she bought a sword and a dagger to remember the experience. OH MY!
Look what happened while she was away ...

One more little girl added to the family.

Alec is even willing to share his silky and his binky with her.

Pyper -
She is an 8 week old maltese who is getting lots of attention!

One more little girl for dad
