One year ago Sunday....

This was the little ball of happiness that joined our family a year ago. I can't believe that it has already been a year since Taylor was born. He is such a happy and very determined child. Taylor was in our room when the other kids woke up. All 3 of them came in and and one said "ITS THE TODDLER." (side note, when I refer to him as my baby I'm quickly reminded that he is a toddler). Then all 3 of them sang him Happy Birthday. That day they all called him the birthday boy all day long and then would say stuff like they loved playing with the birthday boy. They ran into church and told everyone it was his birthday.
Singing happy birthday, Taylor grabbed the cake.

Here he is enjoying the ice cream. He didn't get much messier than this. In fact he started to cry when he saw his hand was a mess. We just had to wipe him down without a bath.


Enjoying part of his toy (its a car that came with a boat, he absolutely loved). It was fun.

Well I haven't written in an extremely long time because we have been BUSY. Alex finished school and had a fun program. Brigs and Alex started T-ball, which they are enjoying. Mark has been training for a big team race (187.9 miles in total, I believe). Planting the garden, weeding, etc. Then we had visitors and visited for 2.5 weeks, with Mark's fam and then mine. Finishing wedding dresses, skirts, necklaces, doing reading programs, and getting a new garage door, because the other was destroyed. Well we are back and now we're trying to get the house back in order and semblance of normalcy. Our dryer broke the Monday after we got back and we had to get a new one. It was great fun, but I think we're back to okay.
This is Betsy and Tanner with the nieces and nephews when they got out of the temple. Congrats guys.
My mom and dad did a lot to make this special for everyone and we had a blast. I'll be trying to post pics before they get too dated. IT may take a while.

One last pic I thought was cute, Al helping Brig tie his shoe on Sunday. Well hope all is well with everyone. :)

Such a cutie! We're glad we got to see so much of him! We thought about him...the day BEFORE his big day and missed calling on the big day itself!
