Shopping

Billy had to work, so Taggart and I headed to Orem to visit Edna and go shopping down there. I still hadn't used all my birthday money, and I wanted some shoes. We went to the University Mall I think, not sure, but it was in Provo. I found 3 pairs of shoes that were on sale! Taggart did so well and had a blast playing in the play area.

Then Edna wanted me to meet her friend Nicole. So we met at Red Robin for dinner. Nicole was a lot of fun to be around, we all laughed just like we'd been friends for years.

Taggart must have been super thirsty, because he was chugging that milk like crazy. He was cracking us up.

Edna and Nicole

The only thing that would have made it better was if our waiter was a little bit more on top of things. I think we asked for fry sauce 4 times. Oh well, I guess they were busy. Overall it was a fun trip.

I Love My Kitchen Aid

Thank you honey for buying me a Kitchen Aid! I'm in love with it. I just need to find more recipes to try out with it. Hopefully I'll make a suzy homemaker outta me ;)

Date Night

Taggart has been teething and getting constipated. I think the constipation is from his diet change from nursing to normal milk. He has days where he doesn't even want anything to drink, so he has been kind of whiny. I decided I needed a break, so Billy and I went to dinner at Cafe Rio and a movie with my gift card for my birthday. It was crazy, while we were eating Danny Payne from our mission came over and talked to us. It was neat to see him, we also found out that his brother in law is one of Billy's teachers at the Art Institute. Such a small world we live in. We saw Cars 2, we both enjoyed it and thought it was pretty neat. Taggart spent time with Grandma and Lilly.

Before the movie. It was just us for the first while, but then others joined us.

I don't remember previews being so long. We kept wondering if the show was going to start. Then the first 10 minutes of Lion King start and we're thinking we're in the wrong theater. Billy asked the people behind us if they were there to see Cars 2 also, they said they thought so. Needless to say we were all a bit confused, but finally the movie started :)

4th of July Weekend

Well, we once again did what we usually do when Billy miraculously gets 3 days off in a row. We went to Grace. Billy worked til 9:00 p.m. on Saturday and so Taggart and I packed everything and picked him up after. I'm still not sure if that was a good idea. Taggart would not relax and go to sleep. Needless to say it made for a long trip, thankfully once we got there and put him to bed he slept in til 9:00. Since my parents ward starts at 8:30 we decided to go to the next Sacrament Meeting. They had 2 baby blessings in that ward, so it was packed and we had nowhere to sit. We sat on the couches, but didn't get the Sacrament. New plan! We went to my Grandma Mac's ward. They had 2 baby blessings too. We ended up on the front row right in the middle. Just a little embarrassing. I was excited because I got to see Erica and Bailey Stoddard and Hailey and Mckinley Yamauchi.  After we had a delicious roast and baked potatoes dinner with my family, and Taggart opened up his birthday presents.

Check out my loot. I got Cars the movie, a Cars toothbrush, Cars camping chair and sleeping bag, and Lightening McQueen pajamas.

Just relaxing in my new pj's

Taggart and Grandpa

This time we actually played games. We played hand and foot and pinochle, and a few board games. It was fun to get practiced up for our camping trip. Monday we went to the parade in Soda. I remember going every year as long as I can remember, but it's been awhile since I've actually been. It's changed and gotten smaller, but Taggart still enjoyed it.

Jayden spotted an empty chair and took it! He cracks me up!

Thought the eagle was sweet, and neat that the missionaries got to be in the float.

Later that day we went to watch Jayden help feed the steers. He has one this year, that he named Slinky. I can't wait to watch him show it at the fair. It's crazy that Jayden will life the 50 lb. bag and take it to the dish to be dumped. He is a tough little guy.

Slinky is the Red one

Then we took Tagg over to swing and get on the trampoline. He is so cute when he's outside.

He kept trying to get away from us on the tramp, it was wet so I was trying to get him off. He probably would've stayed on for quite awhile.

We called in an order to Arctic Circle and then ate at the Pavilion at the park in Soda before the fireworks. Let's just say Taggart loves FOOD!

Now for the fireworks!!! We went to Roger Rigby's house. He has a big yard with a good view, for free! At first when the fireworks were going off at the neighbors right next to us Taggart was a little scared. Once the actual show started he was loving it.

Our Jorgensen Sandwich :)

Tagg was so sleepy, and actually cuddled with Ashlynn!

We were cracking ourselves up, because my camera takes so long to take a picture and most of my firework pictures are pitch black. My dad said just say these are Soda's fireworks. We kept getting confused and wondering if they were already over, there were many long pauses. It was fun, last year we were just relaxing inside with our new baby. Tuesday we went to:

This is a picture with their new slides

I made Billy jump off the 3rd platform first thing :)

Taggart loved that he could see himself in Grandma's sunglasses

Me going off the first platform

Billy and Ashlynn were going to jump together but she jumped a little late.

Billy doing a 720

Taggart gets scared of Jayden sometimes. Jayden just wanted everyone to clap. Hopefully he will realize that Jayden just talks loud eventually.

We got ready to go and headed back to Utah. Taggart did well on the way back, and slept pretty much the whole way. When suddenly we hear him doing his little talking and I look back and he was still asleep. So for a couple of minutes he was talking in his sleep, it was so hilarious. We had a great time and can't wait for our next trip, which will be camping. Bring on the dirt and mosquito's lol.

Car Wash

Taggart survived his very first car wash!

But when the rollers hit the car he got a little scared, so I sang him a song!

Then he smiled :)
