1 year stats

I was surprised to find out that Taylee is not 20 lbs yet. Close enough though right so we already turned her around and just as you expect she LOVES it!

12 month stats

19 lbs 12 oz. 29%
29 1/2 inches

And

Just because McKell felt left out here she is. She reminds me daily that her birthday is next.

Thank YOU!!

Thanks to everyone I love all my birthday gifts, and cards! Thanks for coming to my party, I love you all. :)

Much Different

These 2 were much different in their "first" cake eating styles. McKell poked at it and licked her fingers. Taylee she just shoved it all in their mouth. And interestingly enough I can totally see the difference in their personalities. McKell didn't get into much, we never child proofed our house, didn't have to close the bathroom door, hide the garbage can, keep all dirt and rocks out of her reach. She was simple I guess you could say. Once McKell learned to crawl she didn't care, she still just sat their and played with toys. Taylee is always in turbo speed, we have had to babyproof stuff, hide the garbage can, and when outdoors keep your eyes on her at all times. Its been a lot of fun having 2 kids. Amazing how opposite two sisters can be. I wonder what they will be like when they are older. Who will be my athlete?

Some more guests!

Well her birthday is not technically until Thursday but we celebrated today! I did the theme of Candyland. I thought it turned out perfect, but my stupid camera is having issues so a lot pictures were out of focus. arrrrhhhhggggg!
As usual I stress over a party to have it all over in 2 hours anyways why do I always do that. We had pizza for lunch, did some relay races on the wiggle cars (super fun), opened presents and she had her first cupcake. The cupcakes were all for her, they were suppose to be grey but I couldn't ever get the color so they are poop color instead haha but she loves rocks so they had the candy rocks on them and boy was she excited when she saw them.
Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us, and for the presents. And Neisha for the awesome balloon decor. If you ever need balloons I know where to find them. Check them out on facebook at the The ballooneybin, she does great work.
We love you Taylee thanks for the great year, you have been such a great addition to our family.

Punkin pickin

McKell says Pumpkin so cute. I love hearing her say it, I love this stage of talking while they are always learning new things and can't say things exactly. Cute Cute!
Anyways we went to pick out our pumpkins the other night for FHE, McKell thought it was cool Jeremy thought I was an crazy getting pictures of this. She had fun though and made sure her and Taylee got little ones cause their little. And Jeremy got a big one cause hes big. I love her!

Apple Sauce!

We went to my sisters to start our 3 bushels of apples, and finished today at my house. Thank You Vanessa for letting us use your house. It was Awesome! The only kid we even saw most of the day was Taylee.


The 3 cute girls testing out the Apple Sauce. Had to make sure it was DELICIOUS!



Some of the finished product. We should be set for the year on Apple Sauce. Thanks again Neisha and Vanessa.

Little of This and That

I forgot to post this picture in our Willard Peak, but I thought it was too funny to leave out. He is one tired man! Who can actually fall asleep like that. haha Love you Dad
And its hard to tell but I put red in my hair. If I was rich I would have a new color every 3 months haha I love new hair cuts and colors.
Last we are proud new owners of a screen door. I love it!

Happy Friday everyone!

Willard Peak

Between sessions of General Conference we loaded up in the back of our truck and took our last ride of the year up to Willard Peak. It was fun! But very busy with all the atvs
Once we got to the top we pulled out our picnic and hiked to the pond to skip a few rocks. Or for Lances boys try to catch some fish.

Peach Season

We just finished our weeks of selling peaches up on my Family farm. I always look forward to this time of year to go spend at Grandma's with my Sister and her kids. But this year was a bit difficult with miss Taylee. She is cRaZy! She eats everything. This bottom picture was after we found her knawing on a piece of manure! I say it just strengthens her immune system right. YUCK!~
It was a bit sad this year to not have Grandma sitting in her chair yelling at us as we run in and out.

My kids love Fruit, and especially my Dads amazing Peaches!

So the other day I was upstairs and Taylee was playing downstairs. All the sudden it got quiet so I finished what I was doing and went to check on her. She was no where to be seen and the front door was open. So I go looking outside for her and there that stinker is sitting in the rocks eating them. She loves loves loves to eat rocks. So the video is of her getting out of the house I wanted to see how she got down the stairs since we have been working on going down backwards. But to no avail she has not picked up on it yet. The first time I watched her was a bit more smooth the one I videoed worried me a bit.
