Taylor's New Hair

Yes, we finally did it. I am still mourning all of Taylor's hair that was on the bathroom floor after we cut it. This is his third haircut and ,yes, he isn't even 11 months old yet. But I think that it turned out pretty well. I gelled it and put some style into it. We'll see how I keep up on it. These are some pictures that we took before church. Just click on a picture to see it enlarged.

Trips...

We have been enjoying the summer with Duane home and been trying to get out of the house as much as possible! This is Duane and Taylor at the arcade. It was fun but I think that half the games had something broken on them.

We stopped and got some Cold Stone. I just thought it was funny that we parked next to a smart car. They are my dream car. Too bad you can only fit two people in them and would probably die if you got in a car accident.

We made another quick trip to California to do some business and see Nana and Papee.

Here is Duane and Taylor at the Shark Reef Exhibit. We just recently found out that it is free for us because Duane is a teacher! That made the experience even more enjoyable.

Even though the color on this was crazy I tried to salvage it because I thought it was such a cute picture of us with the fish. (I don't have any photography experience if you couldn't tell)


Taylor is taking many trips up these days. He has started to climb up onto baskets or the couch. We are waiting for those first solo steps. We bought a little school bus walker that he loves to push around so we will see!

Oregon

Yeah! We visited Oregon for a week at the end of July. Taylor LOVED visiting with everyone and hanging out in his CARS stroller. We visited a Lavender Farm, saw the coast, Duane caught a nice salmon (nothing like fresh salmon..yum), had a couple of parties, and saw Grandpa Tony win 2nd place in the team roping competition at the local rodeo. Overall, it was a fun filled week of WARM weather (Las Vegas temperatures...we just can't escape it) and warm memories. Wow, that was corny :) The trip ended eventfully as our plane was delayed because the airport ran out of fuel. Does that really happen? Apparently, it can and does at a small airport.

Great Grammie Alma and Taylor at their SWEEEEET cabin

This cabin rocks! It is on the other side of their property and doesn't have electricity or cell service. It is so cute and a wonderful retreat from the stresses of life. Old country living. Everyone should have a place like this! (It was also the site of a date Duane took me out on when I first visited Oregon...I think we got attacked by a bat living in the rafters..it was awesome)

Utah

In July we got to visit my brother, Chad, and his cute little family in their new house. We had a lot of fun eating marshmallows and lots of other scrumptious food (fresh fruit :), shopping at Park City, and visiting Bridal Veil Falls. They were just finishing their basement and their house looks amazing! Thanks for having us!
