Utah Grizzlies

We totally lucked out and got 4 free tickets for the Grizzlies game this past week. We invited Matt, Kira, and Jett to come along. Byron and Evelynn also joined us. To start off the night we went to Applebees for dinner, and we all got the 2 for $20.  But little did we know that we would be waiting to place our order for 45 minutes, waiting 25 more for our appetizer and 30 more for dinner. Lol Good thing Matt asked when our food was coming so that we got it. We were a few minutes late for the game but so were most the other people there.

I love to see the temple

Our lunch/movie date
Billy actually had a Friday and Saturday off in a row! We decided to take full advantage, lol. We planned a Lunch/Movie Date. We went to Five Guys with our gift card (Thanks Aunt Lori) and to the Megaplex to see Unknown. It was nice to get out and do something just us two, even though we always miss Taggart when we go.

If you can't tell, we're still as in love as we were the day we got married, or wait maybe we're more in love.

On Saturday we got to go to the Salt Lake temple to do an endowment session together. Both of us have only been there once before but not together. We had a great time and even got to be the witness couple it was really neat. I love to see and go to the temple. It always makes me feel so lifted by the spirit and closer to Billy and my Heavenly Father. I wish we got there more often!

I stood up to get close to the water and thought there was another step, ha ha ha and I totally stepped in the wading pool. Oh well, I don't think many people noticed.

8 Months Old

I don't know why my computer is being really weird and won't let me see the pictures, it's only showing me text where they are at. So I am going to have to very creatively try and get this post going. For the month of February we have a couple birthdays on Billy's side of the family, so we did dinner and games with them. That was fun, and it's getting more fun for Taggart cuz he loves to play with everything! This year has been interesting because we now have church at 1:00 and so Taggart can have one nap before but he still gets pretty restless.

This is a picture of him one day before church, and he was so tired, and I was so sad to have to wake him up. He has started sleeping like this. It's so cute and pretty interesting because I love to sleep on my belly too.

My poor little guy has been sick, not horribly but enough that I was concerned and took him to the Dr. He didn't have RSV, but luckily we were able to get some medicine that would help his nose not have so much snot. Seriously I don't know where it came from. On the downside the medicine helped him sleep through the night, so for a week I had a full nights sleep, ya that was temporary, oh well though I still love him.
We got to have Aunt Peanut come for a visit, we had fun playing the wii, going out to eat, downloading songs for our i-pods and eating (of course) Peanut talked Tagg and i into riding back to Twin Falls with her since the Grace boys had a bball game in Kimberley, and my parents were coming. I got work figured out and we were all set on our way. Taggart was asleep and doing good, but then it got a little too loud in the car so he woke up, and needless to say it was one of the worst car rides EVER!! He was so unhappy and I didn't know what to do for him. It was nice to finely arrive at her apartment. He even slept pretty good. And just a side note I never want to live with roommates again, holy cow people are so loud and very messy. Enough Said!! We went to the game, sadly they lost. It was good to see the family even with Jayden the whole way home "Baby Taggart is Loud!" Lol he was cracking me up, he has a thing with babies making noise even if they are happy. Luckily Taggart finally fell asleep. I didn't get any pictures, but we had fun. Thanks mom for bringing us back to meet Billy in Ogden.

The other day it was remotely warm, we thought break out the shorts. Not really but we decided to go to Lindsey Gardens ( a park where Billy always went with his dad growing up) Taggart got to swing for the first time, he seemed to like it. He is just a happy little guy. I took him down the slide but am excited for when he can go by himself.
Don't you love Taggart's Teeth?? So cute, now we're waiting for his front two to come through. You can see them, but they aren't out yet.

Me watching to make sure he didn't accidentally fall out





Tagg and I swinging, we're cute <3


Taggart and Dad by the huge tree!





Our cute family, I'm digging the glasses ;)



Taggart wanted to get to the frog, it was so cute watching him "scoot" to him

Taggarts new thing is pulling himself up to the couch, but he face plants, and he got a huge red mark :(

6/7 Mths

Taggart was growing and growing, surprise surprise right!

Six Month Stats

22.4 Pounds 98th Percentile

28 inches long 95th Percentile

He is still a very BIG healthy boy

Taggart has cut two teeth so far, the first one came after a high fever and not feeling too well, then the next thing we knew he had another one. It's so crazy to see his two little teeth on the bottom, but I think they are the cutest things ever. He started really being able to sit up on his own at around 6 months, and ever since then he has been rolling like crazy to get wherever he wants. It is so fun to watch him try to maneuver himself. He is scooting and rolling, but not crawling yet. I'm glad because I am not looking forward to trying to find somewhere to put all our stuff he'll get into. We don't have enough room, oh well we'll cross that bridge when we get there. He has also started rolling around in his bed lately, so usually around 12:30 or so every night we have to go in and help him be comfortable again, I'm hoping he will get the hang of it soon, and not have to wake up to eat in the night. I'm dreaming of sleeping all night. We'll see! At least he goes right back to sleep, and will sleep for 6 to 8 hours before waking up. We are just loving playing with him and listening to him screech and giggle. He is such a sweetheart <3


He's loving his cereal more and more, especially when Mom feeds him ;)

I was seeing if he would attempt to feed himself, needless to say he just made a bigger mess, so I don't think I'll be letting him do that for awhile. Unless I get brave and wanna clean up lots of messes,,ya I think not!

Mom why are you always taking my picture??

AAAAHHHHH!!

Just relaxing!

Love spending time with mom

After first Cookie, seemed to like it pretty well!

Beautiful Blue Eyes

Priceless!

A visit with Great Grandma Esther

We decided to pay Grandma Esther a visit to thank her for her generous christmas gifts. Taggart was so happy to have the monkey toy she gave him and he really wanted her glasses. It was cute she kept saying now you can't have my glasses. Silly boy anyways. We had fun just talking with her and looking at old pictures of the family. My favorite was one of Billy with really crazy hair.
I had to put him on her lap so she could hold him. She was a trooper and held him for like twenty minutes, then he just wanted to roll around on the floor. Thanks Gradma, we love you!

New Years

Just enjoying his dinner!

This post may be just a little boring! I don't have many pictures, but we were able to go to Grace for New Years. I was so excited because it was our turn to be with Billy's family for Christmas so I wanted to see my family too. We drove up and this time Taggart didn't do so well. We stopped in Logan and then once we got to the Y I took him out of his car seat because he was just so done with being in the car. I know I know I'm such a bad mom, but I had a headache and couldn't take listening to him anymore lol! We went to the Stake Center to watch Ashlynn, Brando, and Muffin dance ( they are part of the dance club with Andrea Holyoak) It was so cool to watch them, it made me wish that they had that available when I was in high school. Billy even got me to dance with him. I don't know why I was so embarrassed! LOL It was fun though. Then Mandi and Tim came out to my parents and we played scum and pictionary on the wii. We ate way too much, but had a great time. On New Years Day, which is my dads bday. He turned 46! I know it sounds weird but he basically made a huge dinner. It was so good! Like a second Thanksgiving! We had ham, mashed potatoes and gravy (complete with droppings ;)), stuffing, homemade rolls, sweet potatoes, and texas brownies. He got new church clothes and an ipod. So with a new year also comes new church times. My parents switched to 8:30 A.M. lets just say I was not looking forward to going to that. Taggart did surprisingly well, even let out a few farts during Sacrament Meeting! We loved our time there but had to be back for work on Monday! It was nice to have some extra time with Billy being done with school. I am so proud of him! He made the Dean's Honor Roll again! He is doing so well and I know that when he's finished he's going to get a great job and will enjoy his work again!! Happy New Year everyone.
