Happy Halloween

Taya just loves Cinderella, so that is what she was for Halloween. If it was her choice, we would watch Cinderella not just once a day, but as many times as possible. What a beautiful Cinderella!

Me and My Best Buddy

Taya and Brody are going to be best buddies forever! They love to give each other kisses, and hugs (even when the other one doesn't want one at that moment.) We are so lucky to have such cute kids!!!

Big girl bed

Our little girl is growing up. We moved her into a big girl bed and what a easy transition it was! She has only fell out once, but she climbed back in and went back to sleep. In the morning she doesn't realize she can climb out by herself, so she lays in there calling "Mommy, mom" so I can come get her. I don't think I will teach her that she can climb out just yet...I'm sure she will learn that one in no time.

Heritage Place Corn Maze

Well the girls went to the corn maze this year. Vera, Kelsie, Kenzi, Vic, Mal, Taya and myself. Taya wasn't so sure about getting stuck in the corn maze, but she loved putting her face in the little wood faces, and loved the little kids hay maze they had. Her and Kenzi, just keep running around and around. A couple of the times, she needed help and you could hear her little voice..."Kenzi help me." She also liked all the lit up Halloween things.

Two 2 year olds

Can I just say, that watching two 2 year olds can definately be fun and exciting. This is Aidan, who lives next door. The two of them love hiding in the pooh bear couch and I had to come in and find them. I have never heard the two of them laugh so hard.

Girls Trip...TO CHICAGO

Well, I went to Chicago with my mom and two sisters, and without any kids. It was so fun, and we did so much walking, and so much shopping, and of course so much eating. What else do you do on vacation. A few of the things we did was go to a Broadway show called Wicked, went on a walking food tour, and went to the Art Institute of Chicago. One thing I need to mention, is that the cab drivers are CRAZY! I really thought we were going to hit another car driving from the airport to our hotel. We difinately had some close calls, but luckily we didn't. The drive from our hotel wasn't quite as bad. Our cab driver owned his cab, so he was a bit more careful.
Shane and Taya were able to spend quality time together while I was gone. I missed them so much, but it was a good break before our new baby comes.

Family Home Evening

We decided to decorate Halloween sugar cookies for Family Home Evening. Shane and I did the frosting, and Taya did the sprinkles. She did such a good job, and of course she had to taste one, or two, or maybe even three. I lost count. She posed for the picture with part of her cookie hanging out of her mouth. She thought she was so funny.

What a brave little girl!

Well, Taya and I got our flu shot this week. She was so brave, and only cried for a minute, until the nurse showed her the suckers. It's amazing what candy can do...isn't it. Anyways, I went to the doctors and my baby is still spine up, but we were able to see her lips, nose and heart. Everything we couldn't see last month. I just love being able to see her. We can't wait to meet her!

Being Pregnant...with my sister?

What a fun (and exhausting) experience it has been being pregnant with Taya around. She is so cute when she rubs my belly and says " Hi baby sister." Well the good side is now I have an excuse to take a nap everyday with Taya. Somedays I am so tired, that our nap can't come soon enough.
We found out a little while ago that my sister Bri is pregnant also. I am so excited to be pregnant with her. I never thought we would. My baby is due the end of January, and hers is due the middle of April. Our babies with be only three months apart. How fun is that going to be!!!

Taya's BIG Announcement

We are having a baby GIRL. JANUARY 29,2009. Taya is excited for her new baby sister. She likes to kiss my belly and say hi to our little girl.

Moving Right Along...August

Last vacation of the summer...Flaming Gorge. We went camping and had such a great time. Taya just loves playing with her Buddy Brody...or as Uncle Adam taught Dudey. Taya now calls Brody, Dudey.

On to July

Well we went to Bear Lake with Shanes side of the family over the 4th of July. We ended up getting two condos between all of us. We went to the beach, played games and just hung out, and of course ate a lot... What else do you do on vacation? Taya just loves her cousin Kenzi...she was at her side all of the time... with their babies of course

Catching Up...Starting with June

Taya and I did the Parent-Tot Swimming lessons. She was scared at first...but now, she absolutely loves the water!!!

We went camping up Logan Canyon with the Cutlers. Taya loved riding in her new wagon with Kenzi. The Mencks and Shanes parents come up a couple of the nights to hang out and have dinner. What a blast we had!

Catching Up...

I know I know...I haven't been as up-to-date as I would like to be...so here is the scoop on what has been going on lately at the Haslam Household...

Well Taya turned The Big 2 on May 23. She wasn't the happiest of campers considering she had Rosyola and had a fever. Poor little girl, but she was a good sport and we still had her birthday party. Thanks to everyone that came and enjoyed the day with us!















We had the Zimmerman Family vacation the end of May...and I took the camera, but I am horrible at taking pictures, so I will post some as soon as I get some from Bri. :)




My cousin Alan married Kelsie on June 6th in the Manti Temple. We were so grateful to be able to be there and experience this great time in their lives! Boy were the kids being so good... Thanks Nanny, Poppy, Aunt Dem, and Uncle Eric for watching them.

Well thats all for now. I know I have some more postings...but I think that is a good start on what has been going on with us.

Pictures for Grandpa Great

We love you and miss you Grandpa Great!

Disastrous Day at the Haslam's Household

Taya decided to drop her Princess cell phone into the bath tub with the water running...so here she is trying to fix the phone by herself.

What a Stylin' Beauty!
