4 months old

I'm 4 months now, watch me grow!!

My stats this time:

Weight: 20 pounds 98th percentile

Height: 26 1/2 inches long 90th percentile

I am getting big, but I sure am healthy

My new favorite thing is to screech and screech, and I always love to have everyone's attention!!

Going on a walk with mom and Torri, I love being big enough to sit up and face forward

Check out those thunder thighs!!

Oh!

Tyler Cazier, DeAnna came to visit again. It was fun just to talk and hang out. I can't believe how big Tyler has gotten. He has lots of hair and a personality. He finally warmed up to us, about when it was time to go!

Our Trip to Grace for General Conference

One Bus Ride later.....

So once again Billy's work was dumb, and so my mom helped me get a bus ticket to Mccammon. Billy brought us to the airport and we got in a 10 passenger van with about 5 other people. Taggart did so well he slept the whole time and we ended up arriving there early, so we had to literally wait on the curb by Chevron for my mom. (she had gotten stopped at the construction) It was okay though, and pretty cheap considering you don't have to put wear and tear on your car and gas etc. When we got to my house my mom wanted to show Ashlynn how big he was, she couldn't believe it! He just grew so much since they had seen him last. We got to help sell potatoes at the Y, I took my dad and Jason their lunch a couple of times, and I finally got to see Ashlynn play volleyball, it was sweet because they were playing North Gem. It's crazy to watch her be apart of High School cuz it seems like she is way too young, but even Jayden is in High School :) I got to see Paizlee at the game, but Mel ended up not being able to go. So my one sad thing of the whole time I was in Grace was that I never did get to catch up with Mel,,,,maybe during Thanksgiving?? Thanks mom for coming and getting us and letting us hang out with you and the family

I had to put this one on here because Taggart was smiling so big, I love his smile!!

Five Generations

I wanted to make sure that I made it over to see Grandma Hansen, and get our 5 generation picture. So we made a quick trip over in between sessions on Saturday. Grandma Hansen was just so proud that we all had on blue jeans, she told everyone we saw! LOL She is so cute, it's sad that she is losing her memory.

Mom, Grandma Mac, Grandma Hansen, Taggart, Alicia

Hadn't seen dad for four days, but got to see him on his birthday

We put paint on Taggart's foot to make a print on Billy's card, it did not work out how we planned but it was still a cool idea.

Billy loves to swim

As do Taggart and I, well Taggart loves the water. So we took Jayden and Ashlynn with us over to Lava for Billy's Birthday. We had a good time, but wish Peanut could've came with us.

He just makes ya wanna squeeze him huh??

Jayden

I made it!!

Family swimming at Lava I like Billy's little curl in the middle of his forehead

Happy 29th Birthday Billy

Hogle Zoo for the 1st Time

Our friend, Mallorie has connections at the zoo. She got us in for free and was going to bring her niece, Summer, but at the last minute could not bring her. The 4 of us had fun anyhow. I haven't been to the zoo in I don't know how many years. It has never been my first choice of somewhere to go, maybe cuz I'm a girl?? I don't know, but it's fun to take a kid, and I'm sure it will be more fun as Taggart gets older:) Billy's dad used to take him to that zoo every week, so Billy has fond memories of going and spending time with his dad, so that is always good. I'll be glad when they have all the renovations finished cuz there will be more to see. I was sad though cuz I didn't get to see the hippos:( Billy and I on the elephant that made elephant noises, and they woke Taggart up

Yes, I can sport my NIKE hat

our family with the rhino

I enjoyed it

We tried a couple different animals to see if he liked it. I think he wanted soft seats and he is still a little small!

Mom, never take me on one of those again!

I married a gorilla

Thanks Mallorie and Tia of course for getting us in.

Time with Daddy

Taking a nap with daddy on Z's bed

Billy has started a new quarter at school, which means he has class from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday nights and 8 a.m. til 5 p.m. on Fridays. His work is just ridiculous so yes he is usually scheduled before and after these times plus every other night of the week. I know this is how it has to be while he is in school but it is so hard to be stuck at home, carless with nothing to do. Ya know I live in West Valley and everyone thinks ScaRY!! So I don't go out too much in the stroller unless it's the middle of the day, but anyway. Billy probably hates how much he's away from us more than we do. So it's so cute that he makes time for us. He is so good to take Taggart downstairs and play with him on the mornings he does not have to be somewhere early and he lets ME sleep in!! yay I need it so much sometimes and I am so grateful. Billy is such a great guy, and he is so perfect for me I love him so much and think Taggart is lucky to have such a good daddy:)

Two Months,,,ALREADY??!!

Two Month Stats

Weight: 15.5 Pounds-97th Percentile

Height: 25 Inches Long-95th Percentile

I was so good for my shots and only cried for a second!

Mom holding him waiting for the shots

I can't believe that two months have already come and gone. Taggart is a very happy boy, who loves to smile at his mom and dad. He is such a happy baby and is getting better at sleeping longer during the night.

Caribou County Fair, and visit to Mel's house

Visiting Mel and her new baby

Melanie had come to see me and Taggart when she was in Utah and I wanted to see her and her new baby. So I debated coming up for the fair, since Billy could not come with me and I did not know how well he would do driving 2 1/2 plus hours alone. I decided it was worth it so we went. I had to stop 3 times to fix the duck tape on our sun roof because it was flapping so bad, and I stopped in Malad to feed him. But other than that he slept the whole way to Melanie's house. It was fun to see their house and Paizlee. She is so cute and has so much HAIR!! Taggart and her are 5 weeks apart, so we wanted to take pictures of them together. I love how they both had their arms above their heads and the opposite leg up. I really wish I got to see Melanie more. It's crazy because before we both got married we saw each other almost every weekend, then she had to move to St. George and I moved to Salt Lake and we always missed each other when we would be in Grace. Now she lives there and it's so hard to coordinate family and friends. I enjoy talking to her often, because we can compare what our babies are doing and give each other advice. I love Mel and am so happy that she is happy :)

The Steer Show and Caribou County Fair

It is so crazy to see Ashlynn! She is all grown up. I swear everytime I see her she looks older and is a little more mature :), ha ha just kidding sis. I think she is growing up into a great young woman and I love spending time with her and all of my sisters for that matter. We always laugh and laugh, it's so good for my soul. The fair was hot and it was hard to be in charge of Taggart alone, but my family helped lots and Grandma Mac let us stay at her house, so we were in Grace, close to everyone else. They even had me playing pinochle into all hours of the night. I am glad I went I had a fun time.

Ashlynn, I had to add this one cuz I love her side smile :)

Taggart and I when we finally arrived to the show

Jayden waiting so patiently. He had to wait in the show barn for the pig and steer show, he did pretty well.

The infamous GRAND CHAMPION slap, hold on tight SIS!!

Kade and Camm to her left. We had 8 steers total there and I think 4 or 5 were in the top 8. They all did fairly well.

Mom and Taggart at the Rodeo, he did pretty well

Billy did such a good job blessing him. I know he was at least a little nervous especially the morning of,but he did great. I am so grateful that not only is he a worthy priesthood holder, he's my priesthood holder for my home. I am so grateful for him and all that he does for Taggart and I. Hopefully I did not forget anyone! If anything is going to go wrong, it always happens to us. Billy assures me that he is the one with all the bad luck, but who knows maybe I contribute to it. But anyways we wake up and are getting ready, I get out of the shower and am getting ready to blow-dry my hair and the POWER is out. What am I to do? I need to look decent, people will be taking pictures, it's Taggart's blessing day. It's hard cuz I already don't feel cute after having a baby and all of that, so you know I was immediately in a bad mood. So I decide just to scrunch my hair as best as I can, my plan to straighten and curl did not work out. So needless to say the power came back on much sooner than expected, but I had to go as I was, and we were almost late. Taggart looked so cute in his white attire, and I can't wait to see him in white at his baptism, and going through the temple. ETC. We love him and just love the sweet spirit he brings to our home and to all those around him. He is full of smiles and love, all the time.

Our Family

So handsome

Can we go home??

Really!! We need to leave now.

Proud Grandpa J

Thanks to everyone helping out with the luncheon afterwards. Billys dad brought his grill so we could do burgers and hot dogs. My mom brought the burgers, etc. Everyone else brought a potluck. It turned out great. It was just so much fun being with all of our family so soon again.
