Happy 2 months!

This big guy is 2 months old! We had his doctor check up and he is weighing in at 13.5 lbs and is 23 1/2 inches long. He's growing like a weed! He had to get 3 shots yesterday but at least he'll be protected from sickness as we travel and see family for Christmas!
Ammon is such a good baby. He already has my heart!

Best buds already

I can't wait to watch them interact more with each other as time goes on, they're already so cute together!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween with Cinderella and her pumpkin. Haylie has been crazy about candy ever since! We went to the pumpkin patch with Nana, carved pumpkins, went to the trunk-or-treat, watched Halloween movies and ate candy!

Life today.

Haylie is in love with her little brother. Ammon is such a sweet good boy. He's already giving us lots of big smiles and coos and is starting to bat at his toys a little bit! He's so strong and loves holding up his head to look around. His favorite thing is staring at the ceiling fan or the bears on his mobile and talking and smiling at them. Haylie has grown up and matured so much since becoming a big sister. We blessed Ammon on October 28th. He slept so peacefully right through it!

iPhone app!

I found a blogging app for my phone! Hopefully this will help me be a much better blogger. :)
Baby Ammon Jacob arrived Sept 13th at 4:10 pm weighing 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20.5 inches long!

Big sister!

We're kind of letting this news slowly spread but I can't help but share this picture! This is baby #2 at 8 weeks! Haylie is going to be such a good big sister.

Dinosaurs

We went to the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum on Monday. Haylie had such a blast playing in the "motion" room, running through the museum and playing in the sand and water at the end!

Haylie and Shelby

Digging for fossils

She needed Unlce Tay's help to find this one.

Shelby and Haylie getting all sandy!

It was such a fun, cute place to go!

Christmas

At our Ward Christmas breakfast.


We flew to Utah on Wednesday and spent time with mine and Jake's parents.
Thursday, more family time, a bit of Christmas shopping and Haylie and I went shopping with my mom that afternoon for some clothes for me! Jake got to play lots of basketball with his brothers, which he loves doing.
Friday is when Heather, Tom and Shelby got into town and we all went to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. It was quite chilly and a bit crowded but the lights are always so beautiful. I love seeing the temple and the navitity scene out there on the water.
Saturday (Christmas Eve) we spent some time with Jake's grandparents and they got to get to know Haylie a bit better without so much family chaos around. It was great to spend that one on one time with them. Then, that evening was the Taylor Family party. I need to get the pictures from my phone on here eventually of that night. We had delicious food, lots of chatting and laughing, a tie exchange, dessert exchange, cousin gift exchange, cousins in their matching jammies and nightgowns and an all around fun night. Haylie is usually overwhelmed with Taylor gatherings because there are a lot of people around that she isn't too familiar with yet but she was eating up all her time with her cousin friends this night! She loves being with older kids. I'm so grateful for sweet nieces and nephews who are adorable with her and take good care of her. I wish she was able to see them more often and create strong friendships with them. Jake got a new pair of awesome work gloves from his parents, Haylie got a Tinkerbell nightgown and I got a beautiful pair of pink pearl earrings! I looove them!
We then went back to my parent's house to open our Christmas Eve Jammies and go to sleep!
Hanging out with Uncle Tay on Christmas Eve night.

Playing with all the pretty bows!

With Grandma! Haylie's eating a marshmallow here. Grandpa and Uncle Tay got marshmallow guns and were shooting them everywhere and the little girls were running around eating them!

Us before changing into our new Christmas Eve jammies.


This was Haylie Christmas morning. It reminded me of the same way I found her last year only she was sprawled on our bed with us. I can't believe how big she looks in there!

Christmas 2010

Climbing the stairs to see what Santa brought us!

Sorry for the red eyes. Haylie LOVES Mater and was excited to have her own Mater pillow. :)

Haylie's new baby doll. She is such a sweetheart and takes good care of her babies and stuffed animals. :)

Rawr! I got some new workout gloves for my BodyCombat class. I love that class!

Haylie decided she wanted a ride on the horsie, too. ;)

We're so spoiled every year!

Haylie got pretend food that you cut in half (they velcro together) and she had a blast with them for the longest time!

I love that Christmas was on a Sunday this year. We were able to attend church with Haylie's Nana, Papa, Aunt Kelly, Aunt Candace, Uncle Judd and cousin Mya! It was great to be in church with them and to hear the beautiful music performed. Their ward had a great choir! We spent some more time at Jake's parent's house and then had a big turkey dinner with my family before heading out to my grandparent's house to see everyone there.
It was such a wonderful, perfect Christmas. We're grateful for the amazing family members we have who love and support us.
