A Cinderella Story...

We celebrated Anna's birthday on saturday, she turned 1!  I can't believe how fast my litle baby is growing!  I feel like time is just going so fast, and yet I'm happy she has been learning all kinds of new things and keeps developing and learning every day. 

I decided soon after she was born that for her first birhtday we would have a princess party.  You see, she is the only girl in the Taylor Tots, so I wanted her to be able to look back at the pictures from her party and see what a true princess she is.  I couldn't ask for a better baby!  She is such a joy! 

It has been a bitter-sweet weekend for me b/c I feel like I want her to stay this age forever, but at the same time I know she will continue to grow and develop, and I'm excited for her future.  I tell her we're going to be best friends!  She already loves her little purse, and watches 'project runway' with me, so her and I will get along just fine! 

I'm really grateful for our dear friends and family who joined us on this special day.  Thank you all for your constant love and support.

I love being a mom to my wonderful children.  I say to Randy often how I didn't realize how selfish I was living my life until I had kids!  They have taught me so many things, and I feel like I'm continuing to become a better person, partly because of my experiences as a mother.  I am truly blessed to have happy, healthy children who adore me!  I think when they become teenagers and don't want to hang out with me anymore I will be sad :(  But until then, I will enjoy every minute of it!

I love my children and husband more than life itself, and I will do my best to make sure they know that every day.






I wish I had been able to get Anna to smile...there was so much going on that she didn't want to stop and smile for one second!  Oh well, maybe next year!



My friend Sherry made Anna her Cinderella dress, I love it! She even made her a chocker and head band...Anna was not a fan of the chocker, every time I tried to put it on her she would cry...so sadly she didn't wear it. :(

I'm bringing Spring back!

Forget about bringing Sexy back...I'm bringing Spring back!  (If only through my blog...)

The way the weather has been the last couple of days, has given us a lot more time indoors...and what better thing to do than get caught up on my blog!?  (I guess there are more productive things I could be doing)...
But since Anna's napping, and Jacob is happily playing w/ his toys and watching curious George...why not post some pics!?
For family home evening this past monday, we decided it was the perfect Spring weather, to get some ice cream, and fly a kite!  We went to the MTC Learning Park in Ogden.  It was a nice day, it just wasn't as windy as we thought it was to fly a kite.
Jacob was so cute!  He kept bringing me 'flowers' (aka weeds)!  He had so much fun that by the time we got home he was ready for bed!  He didn't even talk in his room before falling asleep like he usually does...Here are some pics of our little outing :)






These were my 'flowers' :)




















This is how we knew it was time to go home...
(He was frustrated with his kite here)

New Baby

Hahahaha!  I bet you thought I was announcing I was preggers again!  My new baby is actually a new blog!  I decided to dedicate this blog for Family Adventures (as the title suggests)...and all my fitness/deal findings will now be posted on my new blog! 
Come check it out!  It's called Healthy, Provident Life...I like it! 
Hope to see your comments on there!
I'll be posting some family pics on this one soon...
