What a Season

Wow! What a busy season! We have been so busy with work, fundraisers, moving, callings, being pregnant and tired, and Christmas. Here are some pictures of the past month or so that I have disappeared from the computer.
I will start with most recent and go from there....
Christmas with the Taylor's....
It is always eventful when you get us Taylor's together. We have some silly moments. I love it! We decided to have Christmas at our rental home because we it's roomy and not everyone has seen it yet.
We had a ham dinner with the fam, played games (I even got my dad to play! He never plays.), and opened presents at midnight. Jeremy and Candice had to work at 6:00 Christmas morning so we decided it would be easier to stay up than to wake up so early. Here are some pictures...


Jeremy and Candice were so tired. But when Jeremy is tired he is more goofy. I love it!
I got my mom a headband from a lady in my ward. She wanted the pattern to make them. Of corse she will be able to. She can do anything crafty!
Candice couldn't wait to give this to me for Abi. It is sooo cute!
Matt got a gift card to Rocky Mountain ATV. Perfect gift. In fact he got two!
See goofy. :)
I just thought this picture was classic. Cody (Smith) was wide awake. This is when he normally works.
Everyone got a panini maker. Awesome Gift!
I love this picture. My dad looks so cute.

Ceryn got the biggest looser wii game. I will have to borrow that after Abi.
We got some yummy muffin Mix from Grandma.

Candice was ready to go to bed.
My dad got lower bowl tickets to the Jazz/Spurs game from us kids.
I accidentally opened a shower gift from my Grandma Leu but they were soooo cute. Look at the cute pink booties. I am so excited to see her in them.
This banner was from me to Matt. It took a long time to make but I thought that he would like it. He rides track bikes at Miller motor Sports and I got some good pics of him on his bike. This isn't the best pic of the banner. I will have to take another one.
Christmas stockings. We were all Santa this year and we each put a treat in everyones stocking. I thought it was a great idea.
Jeremy putting on Candice's lip gloss. He would. :)
Last Sunday. We had to get a Christmas picture. Tank was having a hard time concentrating. Matt's dad brought us out a tree from Vernal. We love the real ones and appreciate his hard work.
Reeping the rewards of the Take it 2 the Max Fundraiser. This was the shopping/wrapping Party. The Fundraiser that I put on last November raised $804. Along with another event we were able to raise money for 6 families (20 kids) 6 of which had cancer. Craig (Max's dad) organized this fun night. He made cards for all of the kids along with their Christmas wishes and a budget. We all picked a child and split up to go shopping. We got Cash a 3 year old with cancer and his unborn baby brother. This family lives in St George and travels once a month to primary children's Hospital for treatments. The good news is that he is doing very well. Matt and I had the time of our lives shopping for them. I couldn't believe how much fun it could be. I keep imagining this little three year old opening the fun gifts that we got for him. I have got to say, I think we did a good job. We went back to Noah's ( a reception building) and began the wrapping party.
Max and his cousin busy playing.
Beating on each other in the Hall. Max is in the orange polo. So cute. I caught him off guard though. Max has Leukemia and is going through Kimo. (sorry can't spell) He was diagnosed in March of this year. Poor guy.

There were so many more presets than it shows. There were some on the floor, and some behind us on the table. Last Sunday we were able to deliver them to the families. Max's aunt, Uncle and I went to a families house in West Valley. This girl my age has a four year old girl and a 22 month old boy who has cancer (Victor). He was diagnosed at 4 months! She was very quiet and very thankful for the gifts. When I left I bursted into tears. I don't know what I would do if my Child had a disease like Cancer. I blew a kiss when I drove by. I probably will never see her again but she touched my heart. I pray tat things will go well with her family and that Victor will recover soon.


Natalies baby shower....
Matt's idea was to get her a Diaper Geanie. I guess you can't live without one of these.
My mom made this tutu and headband. It was so cute. Abi has like 15 already.
And what is a baby shower without the dirty diaper game.

I couldn't leave without some cute pregnant pics. I love that our due dates are so close. My moms plan is to get the two baby girls together for a photo shoot with little tutus. I am so excited!


Charlie's angels pose. Love it!


Dylan's Hockey game. I get so excited and loose my voice at these things. Dillon made 3 r 4 goals and hit the pole twice. He was doing awesome!


He's the one that says Williams.
I love this picture. We took it after Dillon's game.


Good news! and great timing!
Matt got a promotion at his work and a decent raise. He is now Project manager! Congrats Matt. He deserves it. He works so hard for them.



Oh Yes... We moved at the end of November. It was quite the event. I couldn't do much because I couldn't lift anything. But we moved into this nice rental home until we can find a home. Preferably one around Herriman and with a fenced in yard for tank.


This is a long dirt lane that is crazy to get down after it snows. Oh Memories. :)

Thanks Giving with the Watson's

Matt's mom, Emma and I making chocolate/carmel pretzels.
The results. They turned out really yummy. We also made chocolate covered Cinnamon bears. The best!
Stacy is an awesome cook. They made Thanksgiving dinner. It was like eating at a restaurant.
I wish I had more pics. It was a fun weekend.
Oh yes. I am trying to be like Bakerella! Here is my up close pic of the choc. covered pretzel.

I will try to keep up on the blogging. Matt got me a great book for Christmas called Google Blogger for Dummies. Hopefully my blog will get better. We will see!
Merry Chrismas!
