Today we celebrate the birth of our baby boy Spencer!!!! This year has flown by and what a blessing he has been to our family!! Little Spencer has made our family complete!!! He is such a sweet little boy and we cant get enough of him!! He loves his sisters and follows them everywhere!! He just loves his Daddy to pieces!!! He cant seem to get enough of him!!! The minute Spencer walks through the door its all about Daddy!!! He isn't walking on his own completely yet, he has taken two steps by himself but loves to walk around the house either holding on to his push toy or onto who ever is near him! He is such a happy baby and so easy going!! He has two teeth on bottom and his two front top teeth are coming in but that doesn't stop him from eating that's for sure!! He loves to feed himself! Spencer loves when you sing Popcorn Popping On The Apricot Tree! He says Mamma and Dadda and claps and waves!! His favorite toys are balls!!! He is all boy that's for sure!! He loves Veggie Tale movies, Wonder Pets and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I know he is only 1 but he actually will sit and watch them while he plays! He loves the water too, he loves playing at the splash pad and when we go swimming he looks just like a little fish swimming! I swear if we let go he would swim! Its so funny to watch!!! We just love our baby boy and we are so blessed and thankful to have him in our lives and to be his parents!!! Happy Birthday Spencer!!!!! We love you!!!

Just minutes old!!!

Some Sunday Pictures!

One Sunday before church I wanted to get some pictures of the family!! Our family picture we had to take probably 6 times before we got everyone to look at the camera!!! I think we even bribed the girls with some gum!!!

Sammi's Talk!!

On August 8th Sammi had her first talk in Primary!!!! Her theme was "Jesus Christ is the son of God, and he is a God of miracles" I was soo happy and excited for her!! Spencer and I talked to her all week about it! She was very excited!! Spencer and her sat down and practiced her little talk!! It was so cute listening to them! Yes I cried!!! The big day came and I was so nervous!! I was the one going up there with her and we could tell she was not a bit nervous! She definitely gets that from her Dad! So as we were sitting there waiting I started to get really hot I was so nervous! I am such a weirdo!! We go up there and Sammi just grabs the microphone with both hands and just starts talking !!! She was not scared at all! She made eye contact the entire time and just spoke into the microphone! It was just so cute!! Definitely a day we will never forget!! We are so proud of her for being such a confident little girl and for doing such a great job!! We love you Sammi Ann!!!!

Doesnt she look so cute sitting in that big chair!!!

Such a big girl!!!

No More Diapers For Sariah!!!

If your wondering what Sariah is holding it is underwear!!!! Yes she is no longer in diapers!!!!!!!!!! She actually hasn't been for about 3 months now but I just realized I never blogged about it!!! As all parents know, potty training is a work in progress and anyone who says "The minute I put underwear on my child they never had an accident ever again" Is lying!!! HaHa!!! Over all she is doing great though!! Most days are accident free but we have our days sometimes!! Yay for no more diapers Sariah!!!! We love you!!!

Pioneer Day In St. George!!

On Pioneer Day this year we headed up to St.George Utah and stayed with Sunni and Nick and then headed up to Pine Valley to see Grandma and Grandpa Reber. Poor little Luke was not feeling well at all and had a really high temp. It went down in the morning so we went to the festivities they were having in Washington! The kids had soo much fun!!! We all had a blast!! After we got home little Luke was not feeling well again and his temp. spiked it was up to 105 soo scary! Nick and Spencer gave him a blessing and later on him temp broke and after taking a long nap he seemed to feel better! Poor guy! Later on the evening we did fireworks with some friends of Nick and Sunni's! The kids chased the flying army men that came out of the fireworks over and over again! After that was all done we headed to bed and then woke up and we were off to Pine Valley. I was so mad I didn't take any pictures up at Grandma and Grandpas!! It was soo good to see them! They are just so sweet and such great inspirations to all of us!! We are going to start to try to make it up there once a month to go see them! We are also making it a Taylor tradition to head to St. George ever Pioneer Day!! Well here are some pictures of our fun weekend!!!

Sammi getting her face painted!

Sariah getting her face painted! She was so funny she started moving away from the lady because she said the lady was tickling her!

Sariah's butterfly

Doing the cupcake walk!! Bad idea though once we really thought about it because poor Sariah couldn't have one! Spencer made it up to her when he brought her favorite color "pink' cotton candy!
