Teeth!!!

Make sure you are sitting down for this one, or you might faint! haha TAYLEE has a tooth :) its just popped through she might have 2 in a couple more days. It has not been bad I didn't even know she was getting teeth until I was hanging her upside down and noticed you could see all her top teeth gums bulging so I decided to feel the bottom and there it was. Not only does she have a tooth but the girl is 8 months old today and decided to finally roll over. Lots of firsts at our house today.
If you don't know McKell didn't get her tooth until she was 15 months so I was a bit shocked. McKell is 2 1/2 and still does not have all her baby teeth in. Its exciting to have 2 kids to compare when they did things.

Pictures for 8 months coming soon

Barn Raising Party!!!

This year we gave my Dad a little different gift than usual. He is super hard to buy for because he is a farmer which leads to a work a holic which leads to not many hobbies. So my sister Kristy set up for us to all help out with this barn that they bought the wood for a year ago. Of course he still got his otter pops and gatorade (his summer time staple food). It was so much fun, and miraculously the kid situation worked out for me and my other 2 siblings. So we started at 10 pulling off the really really old wood that was already there, and by 6:00 that night we had a good start on putting the new stuff up. I love my brother and sisters, and Mom and Dad and so thankful that we all enjoy working together.
Pictures are out of order sorry
Taylee was in between naps and right before lunchtime, so why not let her help too. :)Getting the new beams up!
Pulling out the millions of nails that were in these boards. It was a tricky day making sure not one nail was dropped and not picked up. Especially when people were trying to pry them out and they would just fall in the pile of hay. Lots of fun looking for a nail in the hay

We are pretty awesome! We didn't have the right equipment but made do with what we had, my Dad is one brave man. Not only was he up on this ladder but told my Mom to reverse a little while he was up there.


The old barn, no pictures of the completed project yet, I got all this awesome pictures from Kristy's blog so as soon as I go to Willard again I will snap one. I hear they were out there until 10 doing it so they should have quite a bit more done.


Dad I hope your Fathers Day was great. I sure enjoyed it. And thanks to my Friend Tressa for watching my kids in the morning, and Aunt Deon and MaKayla for watching them in the afternoon. And especially to Kristy for putting this all together.

We missed you Becky, can't wait until you are closer and we can all hang out again.

Fertilizing gone bad!


I forgot to post this beauty, this is the result of me fertilizing. I don't know if I will ever do it again. Its a bit embarrassing to say the least. You can say that fertilizer really makes a different though.

Yard Work

We have lived in our house for 1 year and I am sure by this point Jeremy wonders what he will come home to everyday. I love change I get bored of things very easily after a while. Which would result in my hair getting the brunt of things. But our yard is not far behind, the flowers are beautiful I love having a house and planting my own flowers they are so pretty.
I forgot to take pictures of before but there use to be a really ugly pine tree thing planted where the rock is. But one day while I Jeremy left me for a LAN party I decided to pull it out. :) He was a bit surprised when he got home. I then asked him to get me a rock, so he called his friend to use his truck and they went up to my Dads farm and found me this beauty for FREE!!!

The owners before us obviously really liked roses, they planted 6 bushes and this one they must of had no where else to put it so they stuck it here. Roses are pretty but for sure not my favorite, so today me and McKell dug out the random rose bush.
Its gone, McKell is a really good worker, she loves pulling weeds, planting flowers, and digging out rose bushes.Just some more pretty flowers in our yard, now we just need the mulch and it will be so gorgeous.

13.1

If you know me then it is no wonder why this is the first picture Jeremy got of me! I made it all the way to mile 9!!!Fastest Women I know, she is amazing even after 3 kids she is still running super fast. This was my SIL Heathers first half marathon and she did amazing. Her average pace was 7.19 HOLY SMOKES!!!! Heather I am still amazed at your speed.Here I am 20 minutes behind her, this race sucked! It was the bear Lake Half Marathon, super flat and not much scenery. I had 2 goals for this race 1 was to only be 10-15 minutes behind Heather and 2. was to beat my last half time. I accomplished neither of them. Trying to make myself feel better I will just blame it on the awful cold I caught 5 days prior.


Here we are after the race, Heather took first Girl overall me well I finished it took me 1 hour 58 minutes. I am a bit embarrassed to say my time. Oh well I will shoot for the Ogden Half next year, and try to improve my time.

Girls Camp



Last week I was able to go to girls camp with my ward up in Heber Valley. It was a blast, the girls are hilarious. Unfortunately I got a terrible head cold on day one. So the lack of sleep with that did help any I was pooped. I only took pictures of the Zip line where I was stationed on the challenge course. But of course we did some awesome crafts, ate delicious food, (I was introduced to a banana boat gross!) late nights, early mornings, a fun time on the lake, a nice hike. And spiritual lessons. Thanks so my Mother-in-law for watching the kids all day, and Jeremy for getting up in the night with Taylee. She must of really missed me because she didn't sleep all that great until I got back :)
