Family time!

In June we were able to fly to Utah and see lots of family!
We flew in to SLC and stayed at my parent's house for the night.
Grandpa made Haylie her very own delicious hamburger. She loved having her very own!

We then drove down to Cedar City to visit my grandma Garner since she had never met Haylie yet which meant that I hadn't seen her in a while!
Haylie had fun playing in her backyard just like I did when I was little. :)

My grandma's dog, Fluffy, was just Haylie's size.

I'm so glad we made the effort to drive the extra distance to see my grandma Garner. It was so great to see her and to have her meet Haylie Mae who got her middle name from my grandma. I'm especially grateful for this visit since my grandma passed away in August, just two months after visiting her. I'm thankful to have known her and for all the things she has taught me.

After leaving grandma's house, we headed up to Brian Head where we met up with the whole Taylor family for our big yearly family reunion.
We stayed in an awesome cabin with lots of space and lots of family! Haylie enjoyed this family reunion a lot more then last year. She loved all the attention she was getting from all her sweet cousins!
We went for a fun little hike.

Walked around with Nana. :)


We celebrated my niece's birthday on friday and then my birthday was saturday! We had yummy treats and got to sing Happy Birthday twice.
We ate some delicious meals together.
Haylie had a blast with her other little girl cousins as they splashed around in the giant bathtub together! They were all so darling.

It was such a fun time. We can't wait to see everyone again at Christmas time!

We then drove back up to Utah County, stopping at Cove Fort along the way. It was nice to get out, stretch our legs and enjoy the awesome guided tour through Cove Fort while I snapped photos. I'll have to post some of those another time.

The next day we took Haylie to the pool in Lindon. It was such a cute place and Haylie had a great time there. We got to have Haylie's grandma and Nana come join the fun!

She's such a daredevil. Haylie decided that sliding on her bum was way too slow so she started turning backwards and zooming down on her hands and knees! She's a fearless wild child for sure.


We were able to go out and spend time with Jake's Chris-mom and Poppy and have them spend time with Haylie.

Haylie was so spoiled by all her family during this week! She was eating it up.

Snuggles from grandma!

We had a wonderful trip and it was so great how much family we were able to spend time with and all the fun things we could do. It was also amazing that Haylie survived driving in the car for that long! :)
