"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

No More School!!

Well, they did it. Derek and Taylor finished a year of school. I must admit that I am dreading the boredom that comes with school being out, however I won't miss nagging them to get ready every morning. I really am happy to be able to spend more time with my boys. They are excited to be done with school. Taylor finished a week ago, but I made a sign for him along with Derek's. They ran through their signs, but apparently this wrapping paper is stronger than I had planned. It was very anticlimactic since the paper just came untapped. Oh well.

Taylor's Field Trip to Hogle Zoo

At 7 months pregnant this was not an easy field trip to attend, but Taylor really wanted me to come. Plus we had to pay our own way, find our own transportation, and younger siblings were not allowed to come...so this was a real sacrifice. However, it was so totally worth it. Taylor just kept hugging me and saying how glad he was that I was there. And I'm glad that I got to be with him.
It started raining on our walk back to the buses. Good timing!
I have a picture of me drinking from this fountain at Taylor's age and thought it would be cute to get one of Taylor too (maybe it's a replica now).
Taylor and his best buddy, Davy.
