Hiking

Yesterday Taylor and I went hiking to some hot pots with Aunt Jessica and Sofi. When we started out on the hike the sun was shining. As we got a little more then half way up a storm rolled in and we had to take cover. Luckily there were a lot of trees and some boulders to hide next to. My poor Taylor was so scared of the lightning and the really loud thunder. I felt so bad. By the time the rain stopped we were pretty wet and Taylor was freezing. We did not go prepared for the rain. I know, I should have listened to the weather forecast that called for rain, but when are they ever right. Next time I will do better at being prepared. So anyways, we were able to finish our hike up to the hot pots where Taylor was able to get warmed up and play for a few. Then the dark clouds started rolling in again and we decided we'd better head back. It rained on us the whole way down, but at least there wasn't any lightning. Other then being caught in a storm, I had a great time on our hike. It was beautiful and I would much rather hike in the rain then in the hot sun.

The Grotto

On Saturday we decided to take the rare opportunity of having Jeremy home on a weekend and hiked to the Grotto up Payson Canyon. It is actually more like a short walk, being that it is only .3 miles long. We had a good time though. At the end is a little waterfall with a pool at the bottom that you can play in. Here are a few pictures.

Kindergarten Graduation

Taylor had her graduation on Friday. I can't believe my baby is already out of kindergarten. Can't time slow down just a little? I'm really struggling with this whole growing up business. Anyways, her graduation was a lot of fun to watch. They sang a bunch of cute songs and they got little diploma things. Here are some pictures of her big day.

Taylor and her daddy

I'm excited to have Taylor out of school for the summer, although she isn't happy about it. She wants to go to school during the summer. How long do you think that will last? I always loved summer vacation.

New Toy

Taylor loves swings. She always has. Anytime we go to the park she spends the majority of the time swinging. We decided that it was time to buy her a swing set so she can swing whenever she wants. She has loved this thing. We actually bought it a couple of weeks ago and we have had to move it to 3 different spots in our yard because she keeps wearing out our brand new lawn under both swings. At least it was money well spent.

Does anyone digital scrapbook?

I think I would like to switch over to doing digital scrapbooking, but I have no idea what programs are good. I have heard of Heritage Makers, but they are a bit pricey for me. Does anyone have a program that they use and love?

Easter weekend

Our weekend was filled with BBQ's, Easter egg hunts, family, and lots of candy. Here are a few pictures of our fun.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

Today is Jeremy's birthday. I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband who loves me despite all of my flaws. He is my best friend and without him life would be incomplete. Happy Birthday Jeremy!
