Taylor Grayce

Taylor started preschool 3 weeks ago! She was so excited, she has been wanting to go to school for the last 6 months! She was so excited! While trying to figure out where to send her things where just not working out!  A lot of the places I found where Tues, Thursday and she has dance Thursday or it was in the afternoon, Taylor still naps so that did not work! I finally found one that would work out so I signed her.  Right away something did not feel right. It was 20 minutes aways and I was not excited about how all the driving, as I prayed about it I knew it was not right for her to go there.  The day I told her she cried and cried so I was hesitate again.  I decided to follow my feelings and just keep her in dance...Well then my neighbor who has a little girl Taylor's age called and said she had been thinking about starting a preschool!  Right away I knew this was right!  It has been so good for Tay.  She loves Miss Crystal, and has learned so much in just 6 times of going.  She is learning the sounds of letters, numbers and has learned the pledge and can say it all by herself!  I can't believe how fast she is growing... she will be 4 in 20 days!

Thankful to have her in our lives!

Shout out to Mark

Mark has accomplished 2 BIG things recently! First, he ran his first marathon! He has been training countless hours preparing and the day finally came! I was so proud of him, and pretty jealous watching everyone come in! I have a tendon problem in my leg so I can hardly run =(!  He felt really good until mile 20 when his leg that he had hurt a month or so before started to really hurt!  Let's just say the last 6 miles he ran withour a ton of leg pain and a lot slower then he wanted BUT he finish!  He was a walking zombie the rest of the day and even the next day!  He has rebound and is planning on running another one very soon!

He also graduated this month!  He has worked very hard and been very busy with work, church, school then he added training for a marathon... he's crazy!!  He is so great and I love him very much! Thanks for all you do for our family! Your girls love you! 

Happy Birthday Madi Moo!

Madi turned one almost a month ago! I have been a slacker blogger as of late but I have lacked motivation as probably no one read it anyway!



The Birthday Girl!

We call her Madi Moo, so we had a cow themed party for her! 

 

We had a really good day!  After her party I was able to cuddle her and even got kinda sad that she is not a baby anymore!  She is walking, and she is very proud of her self!  She is happy most of the time!  She says, Momma, Dadda, TayTay, Dani(day), Bompa(Grandpa),light, drink, hi, bye bye, ought oh, book, baby!  She is always making noise, loud noise!  She is so loud, especially at church!  She has become a Daddy's girl in the last couple months, and puts up with almost anything her sister does to her!  She is our little eater and out eats her sister almost everymeal! 

We love having in our home!  Thinking about the last year it has been fun and tiring!  She definately has a mind of her own!  She loves  her binky, I am okay with that for the moment! It helps her sleep, which has been full of ups and downs!  Without it she is whiny and does not want to play but wants to be in our laps! So, maybe in a couple months I will tackle that but right now I am just not up for the task!

We love you Madi

CHIRSTMAS 2010

Christmas morning was so much fun at our house!  Taylor loved all her presents!  Almost every time she opened something she would kiss someone and so thank you!  At my parents she opened and present ran over to my mom gave her a kiss and said this is just what I wanted for 2 dollars!  Madison was a blast too!   She was going crazy and it was so much fun to watch!

We went to St. George for New Years!  New Years Eve we played WII!  It was fun!  We even got my Grandpa Sprouse to play!  We laughed so hard, between Grandpa Sprouse getting lucky, me bowling a strike with Madison on my hip when everyone told me I could not do it, and Dad being Dad competitive... wonder where I get it from! 

We could not get Grandma to play instead she spent some time with Taylor in her homemade tent!
