Late Thanksgiving update

My internet hasn't been working properly the past 2 weeks so I haven't been able to post. Sorry Brittany. I know you wanted an update so here it is.

Our Thanksgiving was pretty typical. We went to Jeremy's parents house and stuffed ourselves full of food. I'm not a huge fan of Thanksgiving food, like turkey, yams, cranberry sauce, and such. But I do love mashed potatoes and rolls so I had plenty of those. I wish I didn't love all the wrong foods. Anyways, Jeremy had to work at 5 pm so he dropped me and Taylor off at my mom's house where of course we had more food and visited with family. All in all it was a good day. Taylor and I spent the night at my mom's and went shopping the next day. Don't worry, we didn't go out until 10:30. I am not one of those crazy people that stands in huge lines in the wee hours of the morning. Sorry, I can't say if I got any good deals.

I have much to be thankful for this year. I have a wonderful husband that sacrifices so much of himself for our family. He is an amazing man and he makes me incredibly happy. I also have a beautiful daughter that brings me so much joy. I can't imagine life without her. I am thankful for the gospel and the knowledge that I can be with my family for eternity. I am thankful for my mom who is my best friend. I don't know what I would do without her. I am thankful that Jeremy has a good, stable job. I am thankful for my home and the yard that comes with it. These are just a few of the many things that I am thankful for. I have indeed been very blessed.

Just as a side note, we will be coming to Lehi on Sunday to see the Arnells bless their baby. We can't wait to see all of you again.

Birthday Girl

Taylor turned 6 yesterday. I can't believe how quickly she is growing up. I wish time would slow down so I could have her stay little a bit longer. She is such a wonderful little girl and we love her so much. She had a great and busy birthday. She went to school in the morning, then came home and opened the much anticipated presents. After, we went to Brick Oven for lunch and then to the movies to see High School Musical 3. Taylor loves the HSM series. In the evening her grandparents came over and she got to open more presents. Here are a few pictures of the birthday girl.

Jeremy and I gave Taylor a big girl scooter so now we can get rid of her 3-wheeled "baby" scooter. She has been riding her new scooter all over the house thinking she is so cool. She hasn't taken it outside yet because then she can't bring it back inside. We will have to work on that one.

We also gave her some bracelets which as you can tell from the picture she loved

Her Grandpa gave her the High School Musical DVD's. I love how excited she got when saw what the present was.

Blowing out the candles!

Going Private

I've been tagged

Okay, so I have been tagged. I'm suppose to post the 4th picture from the 4th folder and tag 4 people.

This is my picture. We were in Newport beach and I thought it was beautiful. Now I tag Renee, Megan, Stephanie, and Ashli.

Happy Halloween

It is Halloween!! I took some pictures of Taylor before she went to school today. I wanted to make sure I had some pictures just in case something happens to her costume at recess.

Taylor wanted to be a pirate this year and fortunately I was able to find a modest girls pirate costume. Thanks Elizabeth Swann. Doesn't she make a cute pirate!

Pumpkin Carving

So, I have been accused of not updating my blog often enough. Sorry everyone. I will try to do better. Here is something new for you.

Monday we carved pumpkins like many others. Well, Taylor and Jeremy carved. I watched. I can't clean out a pumpkin.

The finished product. The ghost (bottom pumpkin) is Jeremy's. The bat and the the smiley face are Taylor's.

Photo Shoot

Today was such a beautiful day that I had to take the opportunity to take some pictures of Taylor. Here are some of my favorites.
