It's GAME TIME!

Tailor and Nana "Cougar" are discussing game strategies. She loves to ask Grandma questions about the players, and Grandma loves to answer them!

I really don't know who looks forward to Cougar season more! Tailor or ME! We love to go to the games and hang out with everyone. Even though the cougs did not step it up this game we have a tradition of staying til the last minute and cheering them on. They better win next time dang it! I don't drive four hours for a loss!

First Day of Pre-School

It just goes so fast! Dave and I took Tailor to her first day of pre-school. Dropping her off was easy, but picking her up and seeing her walk out with all the other kids, looking so grown up was nuts! I will forever have a child in school now!

Girls TRIP!!

For Jordi's birthday, and as a thank you for helping me with my kids all summer, we suprised her and flew to Nauvoo, IL for the weekend! It was amazing and these are just a few of the many pictures that I have yet to post. We spent three days just in Nauvoo and Carthage, spent a day driving through Quincy, Warsaw, Hannibal, and getting lost, a day in Springfield (home of Abraham Lincoln), and then got stuck in Chicago for a day while trying to get home. Can you say adventure? I tell you what the great thing about flying free are the going to places you never would otherwise, but if you aren't willing to be spontanious...buy a ticket! My advice to anyone planning a vacation... plan it to NAUVOO!! If you are thinking... hmmm hawaii or Nauvoo... Nauvoo people! Every LDS person had to go at least once in their life. It gives you such a deep apreciation for Joseph Smith and what the saints went through to bring the gospel about. Words can't explain how life changing our trip was. I can't wait to take Tailor and Dave back!

Harford Family Reunion

While I stayed home with Millie, Dave took Tailor and flew six hours to Boston, and then drove two hours to New Hampshire for a family reunion. Here are a few pictures of Tailor and Dave with their cousins, and Grandparents.

After two long weeks and three connections, including sleeping on a bench in an airport the "woodpeople" that used to be my daughter and husband returned... I missed my them so so much!!

Happy Birthday Grandma and Jo!

There isn't a better place to celebrate than La Tolteca for your birthday! I posted both pictures because you miss Jordi's face in the second photo...

Happy Birthday Millie!!

Happy Birthday Millie! Chef Jordi made her an awesome looking Paublo cake and her cousins came down from Layton to celebrate! Thanks to Morghen, Edyn, Justin, Abby, and Jake for coming to celebrate with us!!

Papa would be proud...

I was about six the first time my Grandpa took me up the canyon so fish (or catch guppies really) and I'm so glad that we are passing the love for fishing on to our kids! Tailor was so intrigued! She loved to learn about the hook, the weights, the bobble, and the best part was the rainbow bait! Millie could only watch for so long and then she was grabbing at the pole and winding the reel as well. We had so much fun! I can't wait to take them again! Doesn't she look like a pro??

Oh, A Camping we will go...

We decided this summer to head north 32 miles where the weather is 20 degrees cooler and take the kids on their first camping trip for a couple of days! They love loved it... and it wasn't so bad if I do say so myself... we got there, got set up, had our tasty foil dinners, and then the fun began... the loudest and brightest thunder storm I have every seen! Dave said, "Wow this is awesome" and Tailor replied, "Dad this is not awesome I wanna go home!" But we holed up in our tents and braved it out til the beautiful morning came! Tailor is in her jammies very proud she made it through the rain...

My mother never let me so there!...

You know those things when your growing up that when your mom says no you think... you know what! I'm gonna let my kids do that so there! Well, this was one of them... in Cali there is never hot rain, so growing up my mom always said "you'll get a cold" if you play in the rain, well heck when it's 95F out and pouring and your 3 year old is begging to play in the rain, why not huh? My mom always said no... so have at it Tailor! (Now if you ask to pierce your ears or use non washable markers... sorry the answer is NO... I'm not crazy!)

You know how I love the park....

MY little girls are crazy about the park!! Thank goodness we live within five mile walking distance from one! They love, (and heck so do I) when Dad get's up with them in the morning and takes them to the park.. what a good hubby he even took the camera this time!

All Aboard

Hey even though we have been tons, there is still always something new to do at Disneyland! Here we are aboard the Mark VII! This is the newest monorail at disney, and we got to sit in the "dome" Tailor was beside herself, and we had a fun round trip around the park!
