I can't believe that it's been an entire year since our little Taylor Rae was born. She's been so much fun and has such a great personality. I couldn't imagine my life without her, we are truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!!

Happy Birthday Taylor!!

For Christmas this year my In-Laws were nice enough {and brave} to take us all as a family to Disneyland. I had a blast but most of all the kids had a lot of fun with their Nana, Uncle, Aunts and their cousins Bryant and Charlize. Here are some pictures from our little adventure to Disneyland:

Last Wednesday my brother Michael came home from his 2 year mission in Uruguay. It was so exciting to finally see him again because I missed him so much. It was fun to have him see the kids because Wesley was 10 months old and Taylor was born while he was out. We were also really happy to see Grandpa and Grandpa as well because they went down to Uruguay to bring Michael back home.
The funniest part of the whole day was what Wesley did to my brother. We talked about Michael all the time while he was out on his mission. Last week we drove to Susanville a couple days before they arrived home to help get the house ready for their arrival. Wesley was pretty confused to why Grandpa and Grandma weren't there at the house. We kept telling him that we would go to the airport and pick them up. So when we got to the airport he was pretty excited. When we finally saw them coming past the security I told Wesley that they were coming. He was holding a sign we made Michael and Wesley bolted to them. My brother went down on one knee to give Wesley a hug and he went right around him to greet Grandpa and Grandma who were right behind him. I hope he didn't get too offended but I will have to say it was pretty darn funny and cute!!! I just wished that it was on video!!

Welcome Home Michael!!!

We celebrated Easter with Patrick's side of the family this year. In total Wesley had 3 Easter egg hunts....he's an expert now so watch out!! We celebrated Easter on Saturday this year so we could take it easy on Easter Sunday. It was a wonderful day to ponder and think of our Savior Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he make for all of us. Wesley & Taylor....they love each other so much!!:

I can't believe how big Taylor is getting. She will be 6 weeks old this Monday!! I can't believe how time flies. Wesley absolutely LOVES his little sister and is such a big help with her. One thing is for sure, Taylor is just like Wesley when he was a baby. She has to be held all the time!!

I Love These Two So Much!!

Our little girl sleeping...that's what newborn's know best!!

Taylor's first bath in her big girl tub. She liked it for a couple of minutes then screamed the rest of the time.

Wesley was such a big boy and really wanted to help Mom give Taylor a bath. He even let her play with his bath toys!!

Wesley & Taylor are both wearing Superman shirts. Patrick likes Superman so I had to buy Taylor a shirt to match Wesley's.
