Mommy and Daddy's Little Valentine

Brad and I finally got to experience our first Valentine's Day with a baby, which meant no more romantic weekend getaways or evenings, but I must say we would give those up and trade them in for a crazy chaotic dinner with our sweet girl any day! We love getting to celebrate every occasion with her in our lives! Here are a few pictures I took of Taylor while we were waiting for Daddy to come home. She wasn't really cooperating so these were the best of the many I took trying to get a good one to send to her daddy.

 The one we sent Daddy

 She was trying to get away from the camera and backed herself up into a corner

Taylor with a mouth full of food. Yes that is a diaper in the background, but don't worry it was an unused one she was playing with. 

 She found her jewelry

 She had, had it with me and the camera at this point and sat down on the couch and started to get teary eyed.

Grandpa and Grandma Howard's Visit

We were so happy that Grandpa G (sorry Gary... that was a Brad call) and Grandma Howard were able to come see Taylor. They came in right after Christmas and spent the New Year with us. We were hoping for some nice weather so they could get a break from the Utah cold and snow, but we ended up with rain almost the whole time they were here. We were able to enjoy he Gaylord on Ice exhibit though. Taylor wasn't really into it, but we've decided to make it a family tradition so we hope she learns to like it as she gets older. Here are a few pics from their visit and a video of Grandma Howard and Taylor dancing.

Taylor's First Christmas

A little late, but better late then never....right? I just wanted to share a few pictures of Taylor's first Christmas with y'all. Needless to say we definitely have one spoiled child on our hands! She got so many presents from both sides of Grandparents as well as Great Grandparents, and also from all her Aunts and Uncles and Cousins. Santa was also very generous this year! As for Brad and I the best present we received was the joy in celebrating out first Christmas with our little girl!
