Taylor is a 1st grader! She was so excited to start school this morning. I wish I were as excited. I'm sad that she will be in school all day. What am I going to do? Actually, I start school next week so that should help keep me busy. Anyways, here are a few pictures of my big first grader (she hates it when I call her that...oh well).
August 12, 1999 Jeremy and I were married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. What an amazing 10 years it has been. Jeremy is my best friend and he is the most wonderful husband and dad. I cannot imagine life without him.
Jeremy and Taylor got a new puppy on Saturday. They have both been wanting a dog for a long time, but circumstances haven't permitted it until now. The puppy is a husky and her name is Sierra. Luckily she is a beautiful dog because anyone that knows me knows that I do not like dogs. And since I have to help take care of her, it is a good thing she is cute.
Taylor is so in love with her new puppy even though she is allergic to dogs. Sierra will be an outside dog though so hopefully Taylors allergies won't be too bad.
We went camping this week with the Killpack family at Mirror Lake. Jeremy went up with his parents on Tuesday and Taylor and I went up Wednesday. I'm not much of a camper. I love the mountains, but at the end of the day I want to come home to a shower and my own bed. So I came home on Friday. Two nights of terrible sleep is plenty for me. Taylor had a blast camping and exploring so she begged to stay an extra night with her dad. I had fun taking pictures while we were camping. I tried to narrow it down to my favorites, but it was hard.
I love this picture because it is just a classic Taylor face. She was upset at me for taking so many pictures and she was not about to smile for me to take another one.

Enjoying a smoreYesterday Taylor and I went hiking with my mom. We went to Stewart Falls up Provo Canyon. It was a fairly easy 2 miles to the beautiful waterfall. Here are some pics from our hike.
This is a late post, but I've been at girls camp this week, which was a blast. So anyways, July 2nd we went hiking with my sis in-law and my father in-law to Lake Blanch up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was a bit strenuous and I worried about Taylor making the 6 mile hike, but we let her set the pace and she did really well. I'm glad she is a good little hiker. The hike was beautiful and one I would definitely recommend to others. We had the misfortune of being rained on the entire 3 miles down, but hey, at least there wasn't any lightning this time.

Taylor has been enjoying her pool. It has been so hot, at least we think it is really hot. It is nice for her to be able to have some place to cool down.
