Month of March!

Here is a recap of our month of March!
Levi found a place where we can hang Taylor's swing and she loves it! Our next-door neighbors told me they know when she's in it because she laughs so hard.
Seriously, this is so much fun!
We went to the Brown's house for a day and got to play with little James.
On one particular day, Taylor enjoyed watching her favorite show and pretty much the only baby DVD we own (Mommy & Me) in the laundry basket. Hey if she thinks she's contained, and stays in one place for 20 minutes and is happy....hooray for Mom!
This is mealtime or snacktime at our house at least once a day if not more. Taylor has to put food in her hair for some unknown reason. Oh and the scowl on her face is a trademark look for her as well. Some kids are hams in the camera lights while ours is much more likely to give you this scowl or a blank look.
Time to till the garden with Daddy! It doesn't matter what it is as long as it's outside and with Daddy!
Another swim lesson. This time in warmer water. Let's boogie!
"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall..." We still sing this song at home as Taylor enjoys jumping in Mommy's tub at the end.
Easing in the pool for another fun lesson!
An attempt for a photo of the Ernest grandkids. I'm not sure being a kiddie kandids photographer would be my first choice of jobs.

April is coming soon!

Let's finish February...

Well I know it has been quite a while since I posted. Don't worry, I didn't quit the blogging world....but I did take a nice vacation from it. Everything is going well for our family. We're a month out from having our little baby girl and I am feeling a bit fatigued. But ready or not we are about to be the parents of two! Here is a quick recap of February (the last month I wrote).

Taylor and Noah took swimming lessons together at the Kearns Oquirrh Rec Center. It was fun to go every Saturday and play in the water with them! And being in the water helped me to forget the aches of pregnancy!
This was Taylor and Noah's first swim lesson in a pretty chilly pool. They were shivering by the end of it and even had purple lips! But still no complaints out of these two - probably because they could hardly even move!
Anytime Taylor can hear kids playing outside she hurries to the front windows to see which of her friends are out. She waves and says hi to them repeatedly. (Most of "her friends" are girls between 8-10 years old). She absolutely loves for them to come over (almost daily) and play with her or take her for walks.
This is one of Taylor's friends, Makayla. One day they decided to watch a little show together.
Levi set up a hut/theater for the Ernest grandkids in our basement. It was fully enclosed with tarps & blankets and a 13" TV to watch their featured film on.
Levi and Taylor heading outside to do some work in the yard!
Here is our little bookworm. Taylor often looks through books on her own and is now starting to jabber a lot more as she turns the pages. Reading before bed is often a must, and is something her Daddy enjoys doing with her too.
I was surprised with a very generous gift for Valentine's Day (we usually don't give gifts on this holiday). A good old KitchenAid! Thanks honey, it has sure been fun to use!
March and April will soon be on their way!
