Tattle TALE

So things just keep getting busier and busier. Taya is growing so fast. I can barely believe how much she talks! Kelli watched her yesterday and after I got off of work we decided to go over to Burlington and look at their Easter dresses. I got Taya a really cute dress for $14.00! Kelli got her a really cute outfit and she even bought me a new dress. I love my mother-in-law! I really got a good one. We looked at the shoes where Taya had to try on everyone she could get her hands on!! LOL! Any way we got up to check out and Taya had thrown all types of stuff in the cart. It was so funny! Neither me or Kelli had seen her do it! She wasn't very happy that we put her very random selection of toys and clothes back!lol! We then left to go pick Nic up from work... I don't think he was happy that we were about 15 min late... OOPS! I tried to make up a really good excuse of while we where late and he looked over at Taya and said, "Did you have fun shopping all day?" Taya replied, "Yeah, jabber jabber jabber!" Yep I was caught!!

FUN WEEKEND

We had a very eventful weekend. We went up to Snowflake and Heber this weekend cause Nic had some business in Snowflake and we wanted to visit with family. We left after work on Thursday and headed out to got through the canyon. The alternator in the car went out just in time for us to reach the Auto Zone in Globe. WONDERFUL!! I know. It is amazing that I am married to a mechanic though!! We got what we needed and the guy that worked there helped Nic take out the old alternator and put in the new one. It took about a hour and a half to get that done so by the time we left Globe it was 10:30pm. We had to stop a couple times on the way to Snowflake to POWER NAP! We reached Grandma and Grandpa Despain's at about 1:00am!! But we got there safe and that was the important thing. Taya having slept the whole way was up and ready to go at 7:00 am the next morning! Much to our dismay!! lol! But we got to spend the morning with Grandma and Grandpa before they had to go to the temple and Then we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening with Grandma Holladay. Taya helped roll out dough and make Cinnamon rolls! Uncle Brett, Aunt Tobie and the boys came over and hung out and we were surprised by Nic's parents as well. I did some hair for the neighbor next store, it was good visiting with Shar and getting to know Mrs. Hatch better! At about 10:30 we went back the Grandma and Grandpa Despain's and visited with them and Uncle Randy and Randall a bit before getting Taya to sleep and going to bed ourselves! We woke up Saturday and visited a bit with Grandma and Grandpa Despain then headed over to Grandma Holladay's house. Jeni and Rayli came over and I did their hair for Clint's brother's wedding. Rayli and Taya have become quite the friends and it is so much fun to watch them play! And I will admit I have become quite fond of Jeni myself! lol! (Thanks for keeping them busy Grandma Kelli)Then we headed out to Heber where we spent time with my parents. My dad took Taya for a ride with the tube tied to the riding lawn mower! We also took her sledding (pictures to come lost camera!! ah!! I know) Then we went and hung out with my cousin Lonna and her husband Cameron, and their little girl Alli!! Alli and Taya had a blast!! It reminds me of me and Lonna when we were little and they haven't forgotten eachother you can tell!! We had a lot of fun! We sure enjoyed getting to spend time with them. Sunday we went to church and their ward with my parents, and then I chopped off all of Lonna's hair it is so CUTE! but so DIFFERENT!! I also gave my dad a little cut then Nic and I took Taya to Snowflake and stopped by Azure's Grave. IT is beautiful up there if anyone has the time stop by... It is hard seeing the grave but it is so peaceful up there. I know that that is not where she is but she was there that day!! I miss her dearly! I really do!

Anyway, we then stopped by Brian's to see little Eric! WHo is SO FAT! He's so cute and I just loved getting to see him. Also Brian and Ginger are getting married on Thursday at 11 am civil. They got her cancelation of sealing letter and they cannot be sealed for a year so they decided to go ahead and get married! So CONGRATS GUYS and we wish we could be there!!

YUCKY SICKNESS!

Taya has been sick the last couple days. It has been so hard to go to work and leave her, especially when I know she just wants snuggles!! Any way even though she doesn't feel good she is quite the little trooper. She just wants to be held more than normal and just keeps telling me "Mom I yuck!" The first time she said it I asked "Do you feel yucky?" And she said "Yeah!" I thought it was pretty cute. For the most part though she just sleeps more and doesn't want to eat much. I hope this all passes soon!! I miss her happy smiles!!

On a happier note... she is talking so much! She hands you stuff and says "Er you go!" or if her sippy cup leaks she'll say "I Spill!" She discovered her pocket and everything has to go "in me pocket." She likes to talk on the phone, "Hewow, mi baby...lu you bye bye" is the usual conversation! Oh she is growning and I can say there is no greater joy than having her in our lives! We have been so blessed to have such and amazing little girl!

THE BIG 23!!!

Yesterday was Nic's 23rd Birthday! That morning Taya told nic "HAPPYY BIRDAY DADDY!!" Pretty cute I have to say. We had a BUNCH of family and friends over for hamburgers and games. It was a lot of fun and we appreciate all who came and also everyone who brought food too! It was WONDERFUL to see everyone. There was people there that we haven't see in a long time and it ment alot that you took time to join us for Nic's Birthday Bash!! He said he had a wonderful birthday and I am glad!! He deserved it! Nic is such a hardworker and is an amazing father and husband! We just love him! So here are some fun pictures of the night!! Also some of the pictures are from Sunday Night.
