So I want to apologize to everyone for not keeping up my blog!! Things have been super busy here in the Taylor house hold!! The weather has been beautiful so the girls and I walk everyday and go to the park as well, ok no excuses!! But I have finally updated!! YEAH!!!!

Dancing with Daddy!

A couple of weeks ago while Spencer had been working at his bosses house the girls and I would walk over there and have lunch with him. It was so much fun!! We ate lunch together and bounced on the trampoline and of coursed Sammi got to dance with Daddy!!

Bath Time!!

I found this little bath chair for Sariah and it makes bath time sooo much easier!! I can now stick both of the girls in at the same time!! Whoo Hoo!! The things you get excited about once your a mom!! The girls love it too!!

Our Sweet Sariah!!

On April 8, I gave Sariah rice cereal for the first time! Boy did she love it I was so surprised!! Just kidding!! It was the funniest thing ever she acted like she had been eating it since the day she was born, she just opened her mouth and ate it! All you mothers know what I am talking about, there was no gagging, or anything!! Sariah is such a joy, she is so sweet and such a wonderful baby, she is getting more vocal and is growing up too fast!! I just love kissing her daily!!

Best of Friends!!

Sammi and Sariah are just too cute!! They LOVE each other soo much!! Sammi just wants to kiss Sariah all the time and she is starting to play with her, the other day I was watching Sammi play Peekaboo with her, it brought tears to my eyes! Yes I am a dork but I love how sweet they are together!! Sariah just watches Sammi as she plays and they love to play together under the play mat as you can see below!! No matter how bad of a day Sammi is having she is ALWAYS sweet to her sister, me on the other hand that's another story for another blog with the headline THE TERRIBLE TWOS!!!

Big Girl!!

So Sammi has had enough with her high chair which is fine beacuse know Sariah sits in it, but anyways we bought her a little pink booster chair that sits right in the seat and she loves it!! She thinks she is soo big know!

A Week at Grandmas!

The week after Easter the girls and I went to go visit my mom and family!! We had a great time. We took more pictures but they are on our Costco account, along with the girls Easter pictures!! We celebrated my brother Jesse's Birthday while we were there and had a barbecue, we had dinner at Kai and Elizabeth's too. Oh and I got a pedicure and manicure with my sister Elizabeth. My mom also treated me to a massage!!!!! We got to spend lots and Luciana had a wonderful time too, Luciana was so funny with Sammi she just wanted to wrestle with her!! It got to the point that every time Luciana would come close to Sammi, Sammi would flinch!! We cant wait till our next visit!! Luciana better watch out!! Sammi has definitely gotten tougher in her terrible two's!!!!

Happy Late Easter!!

Ok so I am a little late on posting our Easter pictures! And I don't even have the ones of the girls I took but those are soon to come! along with the ones with the Easte bunny!! We had a nice visit with Mauri and Teddy and the kids they came over and we had pizza and just hung out and watched Americas Funniest Home videos. Then that weekend we had mom (Abby) and Dad (Mike), Mikey, Sunni and Nick and fam. all come for Easter weekend. We all had a lot of fun. The guys finished up our kitchen and then we just all hung out. The kids got to play as you can see below!! Grandma got to give lots of kisses to our little chubbett!! On Easter morning they all had there Easter baskets that the Easter bunny left them. The easter bunny left Sammi a little chirping chick and a stuffed bunnny and bubbles and a coloring book and cranyons. Saraih got a stuffed duckie and a rubber duckie!The Easter bunny didn't put any candy in Sammi's basket because he knows what happens when she has candy, (she wont stop eating it and says "MORE" over and over and over and over again!!) I know mean bunny! But the Easter bunny did put candy in Luke's basket so guess what Sammi got to eat some candy too and needless to say she was in bed by like 6:00pm!! We couldn't handle it anymore along with everyone else!!

Reading To My Girls

So as many of you know Sammi LOVES to read books!! We go to the Library twice a week. We have know included Sariah in on our reading time!! Sammi has been funny about reading lately, she has been wanting only certain books! Sometimes we read the same book like four times!!! Sammi has def. been letting me know what she wants these days!! Little Sariah just sits and watches the book as you can see below!!

Spring Time Carnival

Last month our playgroup went to a carnival. Sammi absolutely LOVED it her favorite thing was the ferris wheel!! At first she rode with her friend Madison and when Madison had enough of it Sammi wanted to stay on!! I swear she rode that thing the whole time, She did get off to get a balloon and do some water activities which she enjoyed too but not as much as the ferris wheel!! On her last ride up the ride had stopped to let some of the other children off, Sammi was in the air and started to stand up!! I thought I was going to have a heart attack!! They made her get off the ride!! Which I didn't mind at all!! The last picture is of her trying to reach for the ferris wheel attendant trying to get her to pick her up and let her back on!! We all were cracking up!! Our little Sammi is just so cute we sure do love her!

Sariah loves her bouncer so much!! These pictures are kinda old seeing I haven't blogged in forever!! Anyways I looked over at her and there she was fast asleep!! I guess she was little tired!!

Spencer and Caster!!

Ok so we were given this dog house for Caster and it sat there for days, he would not get into it!! So one day after work Spencer decided to get into it with him to see if that would work!! It did he know goes inside it!! Now that's some dedication!!

Our Kitchen!!!

Well here our some of the pictures of our kitchen! The first picture is of the kitchen before! Spencer and Pat worked hard tearing it out! Then that night Dad and Mikey arrived with our cabinets and our granite!! They did such a wonderful job!! Our kitchen is soo beautiful. They have been working soo hard to get it done! They work over at Boyd's during the day/ evening doing his remodel and then come home eat dinner and work on ours! They are in the process of hanging the doors so I will post more pictures when it is all done! Thank you Spencer, Dad, and Mikey for my beautiful kitchen and for all your hard work! I love it!!

18 month and 4 month Check Up

Yesterday we went to the Dr.'s for our Well Baby checkups! I was rather nervous because I thought both girls had to get shots. Sammi ended up not having to get any because she was all up to date, but poor little Sariah had to get 4. Yes believe it or not she did cry:( Poor little thing, or should I say big thing! I am going to give you both of there measurements so you can compare! It is pretty funny! So here it goes! Sammi is 30 1/2 in. in Height which is in the 10-25% She weighs a whole wopping 20 lb.s which is in the 5% and her head is 45cm which is in the 10-25%. And Sariah is 24 1/2 in. in Height which is in the 50-75% she weighs 17 lbs, no that is not a typo! She weighs 17lbs! she is in the 95% and her head is 40 cm which is in the 10-25% The Dr. began to ask me, Is your husband a rather large man? He has seen Spencer numerous time but he couldn't remember, I started to laugh when he asked that and I told him how Spencer is 6'2 and he says well that explains it, Sammi takes after you and Sariah takes after him! If only he new what I looked like when I was a baby, I think I was a little bigger than Sariah! He said if Sariah could walk It would look like I had twins! I took this picture of them on Sunday they were watching to guys work on the Kitchen!!

A Day At The Park!!

More Milk!!

Yesterday I was standing in the kitchen and Sammi came up to me holding her sippie cup and said "More Milk" Woo Hoo!! I got so excited!! It was so funny because Sunni and I were talking the other day and we always talk about our kids and I told her it's so funny because she will tell me all the fun stuff Luke and Logan are doing and I always know what Sammi and Sariah will be doing next! Our kids are so close in age it's pretty fun! Sunni was saying how Luke is talking so well and starting put lots of words together! Sure enough the next day Sammi said More Milk! She has not said More Milk again but I was still excited! Here she is this morning watching Higglytown Heroes with her favorite Teddy Bear her and Daddy picked out!

Soo Big!!

Sariah has now mastered rolling over!! When I took this video it was only the third time she did it, but now I cant even count how many times she has done it! So much for tummy time!! Spencer was dieing over the video because when I showed it to him there was no sound so when Sammi fell into Sariah it looked like she just smacked her! Poor Sariah!! He was wondering how she got that little scratch on her face!! Pretty soon she is going to be more mobile and Sammi better watch out!! Ha Ha! I cant believe my little Sariah is already rolling over and batting at her toys!! Boy time flies!! I love watching my girls from day to day they are always doing something new!, It is such a blessing to be a mother and I am so grateful for it!! I went a little crazy on blogging tonight so to see all my new blogs you have to click on view older posts at the end of the page, Enjoy!!

Sammi's First Day of Nursery!!

On Sunday Sammi had her first day of Nursery all by herself!! She turned 18 months last week!! I cant believe it!! She is growing up soo fast!! It seems like yesterday that Spencer and I were on our way to the hospital to have her! I know she isn't that old but the time just goes by sooo fast! I enjoyed being able to actually go to Gospel Doc. and to Relief Society!! It was quite a change! We took her in there and of course she reached out for the nursery lady Shanae, which didn't surprise us at all, she is such a friendly little girl! Spencer said when he went to go get her she was sitting on her little carpet and when she saw him she got up ans starting jumping around! Shanae said she was very good and smiled the whole time! Gee I wonder where she gets that from?? We love our little Sammicans!! I took her picture before we left so here she is on her big day!

Sariah's New Earings!!

Last week I went and got Sariah's ears pierced!! She looks soo darling!! I know some of you may think I am mean, but I believe it is better to get them done while still so young. I can take care of them and make sure they get cleaned properly and so forth. Well no need to explain my actions but she looks soo cute.
