Happy Birthday Taylor

Fifteen years ago today I was blessed with a beautiful little daughter. Wow, how time flyes.....I love you Taylor, and am so grateful to have you as a daughter. I am so proud of you, and all the good choices you have made throughout your life. What an amazing girl you are. I enjoy the sweet spirit that you bring to our home. You are such a wonderful example to me and always want the best for yourself. I am so proud of you and are so lucky to have you as a daughter! Have a great day and know that you are LOVED!

Love,
Mom

FINALLY.......the pool is ready!

This is the day that they filled the pool. It was a LONG process to us, because we were watching it everyday. We are so excited to have it done and have LOTS of parties, so come on over everyone!

The cement blocked are now moved....and it is ready!

This is not a very good family photo, but we had to do one by the pool.

Surprise!

Well we have 2 surprises.....Yes Taylor's hair is now long. She has been working for Kelly and saving her money for a long time to get extentions. She loves having long hair and appreciates them very much because she had to pay for them!

The BIGGEST surprise of all.....Many of you may remember 9 yrs ago when we had the wonderful opportunity of hosting a exchange student from Japan. This was a AWESOME experience and one that we will NEVER forget! A couple weeks ago, Chicako found us on facebook (not knowing that we moved back to Utah ) and told us that she was now a teacher and was in Utah with her 16 students. We were so happy and could not believe that she was here. So we quickly gave her our phone# and she called and now she is at our house for dinner! We were thrilled to see her again. She is so sweet and was such a joy to be around. We talked about all the fun memories that we had last time she came to Utah. And we promised to keep in touch better and she said she wants to come back in a couple years and stay a long time to learn English better. Thank you Chicako for remembering us and looking us up on Facebook! We love you and will never forget you!
