Taylor and I had such a fun 6th anniversary. I surprised him with a powered para-gliding ride, round of golf, a tan (mostly for me but we are both a bit albino), and dinner. It was a blast and I love him more than life its self. Happy Anniversary babe I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!!

maybe its the rain

I feel impressed today to thank my Heavenly Father for my many blessings. I just read the blog of a friend of mine. http://www.travisandlaineeread.blogspot.com/ I am so blessed to have healthy kids that I do. Even now my baby is crying in the other room because she doesn't want to take a nap and Jack is watching Dora and yelling at me to make him breakfast. I feel so lucky to be a mom of the most beautiful little turkeys ever. I love them with all my heart. I guess I just feel all emotional today... maybe its the rain. love bean

Family Pix


We finally took some family pictures, thanks to Natasha (she's great)

April

So the month of April was quite eventful!! I have been motivated to run a half marathon.... every time I get my training going I have a kid who decides to get sick and stay up all night FOR A WEEK!!!! Well this month was no exception. Jack contracted the Rota virus fro the second time in his short life. Frustrated? "you betcha". He has had the immunization for this particular sickness, so how can he get it? let a lone twice. For those of you who don't know about this virus, let me enlighten you. THROW UP, THROW UP, THROW UP, DIARRHEA DIARRHEA, DIARRHEA, THROW UP, THROW UP, THROW UP, THROW UP, THROW UP, THROW UP, DIARRHEA!!!!! Oh wait did I leave out the part about the THROW UP? Both times he has had Rota he has ended up in the hospital. This time for three days. So if you know of anyone who has it.... stay away!!! Needless to say, training went down the tubes and I am back to square one.
After all the mess of sick kids, we decided to take a trip and landed in our favorite SLC. Just a quick trip but badly needed. Jack and Taylor went to MotoX and I caught up with friends. I also went to my favorite place the "train wreck store" (long story). I love and miss living in a city. It was fun.

Mei Mei





I just want to share the cutest little girl in the world with you. the other day we started messing around and Natasha took these pics... she is so talented!!! email me if you want her info.
So, I have been super busy with two Chiclets now, but I will check this and up date it the best I can. We have been busy as can be these last few months. Both my kids got sick with Croup and RSV. IT SUCKS!!!! if you know anyone who has it..... stay away! I hate seeing my babies so sick. They are on the mend now and all is well.
I started up Volleyball through the league here. It is a blast I love playing. I played in Taiwan with all the foreigners in Taipei but I have not been able to play since I got pregnant. I love it.
Tay is busy at work. He is starting a business in the middle of a fantastic economy! It is going OK though. We feel really blessed. The weather is getting so nice too. Jack rides his bike almost all day. Our community pool opens next month, so that will be a great babysitter for the kids (just kidding Grandma). Well, here we are and there we go.... peace out

New Year Update

As I sit here trying to accomplish something on the Internet (more specifically my blog) and Jack woke up from his nap early and is now teasing his little sister. This will be a short update but I still want to do it. He will kill her if I turn my back for too long...
I will update pics later. we just bought a new computer and i have all my pics on the other computer and in our safe and both are in the other room and that is just too far away for me right now. Lazy Lazy Lazy!!
Eva is such a joy. we are enjoying her personality more everyday. She is so sweet, and sleeping better now. Jack is crazy as ever. He is so much fun and is so smart. He can now wright a "J" which is really exciting. We are working on the rest of his name. He is loving his little pre-school and Library days. I of course think he is the smartest kid ever. He can also ride his bike really well (with training wheels). He is all over the neighborhood.
Taylor is working his butt off in the commercial construction biz. We feel so blessed right now especially with the stresses that come with this industry right now. I am having so much fun being a mom. I do try to fit in time at the gym a few days a week because I have three marathons I would like to run. Well, two halves and one full... thats my "new year resolution"... we'll see what happens.
Well, thats us in a nut shell. Pics will come shortly... love bean
