...

Well, the time has come that we get onto our flight and fly to our new home in Florida.  Our stuff and our car have been there for 2 weeks!  We are going to miss so many people in Utah.  We have THE BEST family and friends that have supported us during our moves.  This is Kendyls 10th move in her short 19 months of being alive.  We are so excited to become true Floridians and live close to the beach, and have Jase be done with school....for now.  Here are just 3 pics i was able to get thanks to facebook.  I will upload all of the pictures I took at the Goodbye/graduation party when we get settled.  thank you everyone for the love and support of our adventures and for helping us hold it together and say bye to all of you!  Love you!

 Here is one of Brayden and bug.  She loves him so much!
Here is Bugs goodbye outfit.  When saying bye she waves and says ciao!  its pretty cute if i say so myself!

Long Update

My little brother Trevor had a heck of a season for Northridge Baseball.  Lets just say, they made softball when I played, look AMAZING! ha ha poor baseball boys.  In this season they won NO GAMES, hey but they lost all of them.  All of the coaches quit.  And on top of that I think Trevor is up to 16 baseball scholarships.(I lost count long ago)  WOO HOO!  He will probably end up in Arizona but when he thinks he makes up his mind he ends up getting another phone call of an offer.  We are so proud and happy for him.  These are some pics from their last home game!


 These are all of the seniors.

 Kendyl LOVES her uncle chebs!  oh, and that hat!
 Here we are, Trevor, Buggy and me!  (see me rockin my baseball shirt!)
 And Trevor, Bug, me and Jase! 

So the other day we were on our way to a wedding reception.  We told bug to get ready and she met us at the door like this.  Hat, baby, and purse.  She is such a diva.  She will not leave the house without her hat. 
 Here is us together!
 And another variation of her hat!  seriously we love her personality, and she always keeps us laughing!
 The other day we went shopping with one of my very best friends Courtney.  We just walked over to City creek.  I guess shopping wore her out cause this is how we found her.
 A couple weeks ago my mom and I stopped at Petersen Farm supply.  I stayed in the car with bug so she could somewhat nap.  My mom brought out a little chick and kendyl woke up to the chick standing here.  Needless to say she kinda picked it up and was like yuck and moved it.  She then noticed what it was and loved it and was giving it kisses.  We also brought out a bunny and a duck as well!
Then we were clothes shopping with my mom.  While she was trying them on I kinda lost bug.  (bad mom moment) anyway, I called her name and she came running around the corner with this hat (headband) on!  We cannot get enough of her! 

This little girl is 18 months old now.  She weighs 22.2 pounds and is now TERRIFIED of the doctor.  She saw that nurse and screamed bloody murder until we left.  Poor thing.  Scared her so bad that on Monday when I went to get my hair lasered she thought she was in a doc office again and screamed.  Thankfully Jess and Brayden rescued her and took her to get a slurpee and skittles!  Thanks guys we love you!  She is so so much fun and is a little copycat.  We have to be careful what we say now days. She loves counting the cars 1..2..3.. off our deck.  She loves to look for the moon.  She absolutely LOVES chips and salsa, and is learning to kick her legs in the swimming pool.  She gets the opportunity on Saturday to show off her cuteness since she has been picked to model for a boutique photo shoot. 
As for us, were super super busy.  We have to ship our stuff to Florida by the 8th, and in that time we have a baby shower, Jase teaching father and sons on fishing, my sisters wedding, My brothers graduation, Jase gone to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Florida, pack, pack pack...were super busy so if anyone wants to come help us that week we will feed you pizza and root beer floats! ha ha.  no were absolutely thrilled to be headed to Florida again.  Every night I come up with a list of what I want to do there.  So far
-Swim with dolphins
-Sea World
-Beaches (tons of them)
-surfing lessons
-Find a great beach workout
-hopefully do ragnar (Miami to key west0 or the Disney princess half marathon
-see the baby cows
-Fresh squeezed orange juice
and eat the best produce in the world!

anyway sorry about the long update, but bug is napping and i have to catch up!

Salt Lake City!

OK wow, where to start! I have been going through my camera and just thought wow, I need to get these documented so this is a big update with a large amount of pictures!
These past few weeks in Salt Lake have been a blast.  We are trying to do so many fun things that we hit the bed every night tired as can be. 
-We got a new car and within the week it was minorly hit in the parking lot.  No pics yet, were just now not getting rain so within the next few days i will get one up!  Its a 2011 Hyundai Santa fe, we found it online and Jase put in a ridiculously low offer with a fake name (cause honestly we didn't think they would accept it) to our surprise, they did so next we had to look into it as to why they were selling it so cheap...turns out it was just on a subaru lot on a trade in and it was in PERFECT condition!
-we have gone to city creek a lot.  Not just to shop but just to get out of the house and walk around.
-We go to lots of Trevor's baseball games and Buggy loves it!
-We went to a Bees game on a night Trevor was working.  It was fun for Bug to see him down on the BIG field, she was also really interested in the train. kept pointing and saying Choo Choo!
-We had my Birthday! YAY!  here is a little fact: Since my last birthday we have moved 5 times!  FIVE!
-Were anxiously awaiting moving to Florida.  We can't wait to go surfing, go to the beach, paddle board, be so so warm, (TAN) and be back with some of the best people I have ever met.
-We sold Jase's truck, I couldn't stand that truck! (the one that semi caught on fire while I was 7 months prego on a mountain)  Don't worry we fixed everything so it was in great shape!
-Kendyl is a little jibber jabber now.  She says everything!  This morning i sneezed and she looked at me and said oh dear (in an English accent?) I said bug did you go pee pee in your diaper and she said pee pee!  (uh?)  she knows head shoulder knees and toes along with the facial features... When we get out of the elevator she runs down the hall in the wrong direction.  Then when we get to our door to unlock it, she takes off and is clear down the hall again.  She is WILD!  She loves balloons, animals, splashing water, coloring, eating, chocolate milk, and trashing the house in 1 minute flat.  She loves the blinds and looking outside at the cars, she hates car rides sometimes, and loves baths.  She is getting too big too fast but we love her and everyday it just gets funner and funner!


now onto pictures from FOREVER ago until now

This is a Cajun boil that we do up at the ranch that has now become a tradition.  No plates, or utensils, use your fingers only and eat up!  mmm! sausage, shrimp, potatoes, corn and onions.


 This is also from last summer up at the ranch.. she has grown so much since then!
 Happy valentines day 2012!  Had to deck out in pink right?
 That night we had our fun friends come and frost sugar cookies!  Becca, Quin, Cami, Kody and Brylie!  We miss them all SO much!
 We are finally in Salt Lake so we checked out city creek!  I LOVE Tiffany's but could never afford anything.  Although last night we saw a lady with a HUGE Tiffany's bag and it had a big box in it and a littler bag.... She had to of spent SO much money my jaw dropped!
 Little bug chillin at the fountains with dad!
 At the Bees game all she wanted to do was ride the choo choo
 Then after she was TERRIFIED of the Bee.  She kept her distance after this.
 She got to go down on the field in between innings with her favorite unkie Chebs!
 Yesterday we took advantage of the warm weather and headed to the zoo with the Wrights (-David) We had so much fun! It was super hot and my allergies kick into full gear tho. 
 She liked the elephant
 could careless about the Tiger...
and HATED the giraffe.  weird? 
Anyway this is us in a nutshell right now.  Call us up and come on down to play, we have a blast!
oh and PS, thanks so much to everybody who made my birthday wonderful.  I got so spoiled it was crazy!  Thanks again, we love you all!

Also, we made it back to Utah! We are having a blast and it is so great to get out and about every day. I can get a nice tan on my deck and have picnicks on it! We can walk to the grocery store, and I can do a morning run around temple square. Were looking into buying a new car! We have the greatest neighbors (The Wrights) with THE cutest little kids! I will take more pics and show you how fun our new life is with Jase graduated and living downtown!

Good Bye Idaho

We have been oacking like wild indians trying to get out of Idaho. We have no tv, couch, plates, toys and Kendyl is having fun sitting on boxes throughout the house. The weather has been so nice which is very odd for idaho. We are expected to get rain on actual moving day :(

We decided to take half the day off and say a friendly hasta la bye bye Idaho! We spent it going to Idaho Falls and picking up bugs Easter toys, then heading to the Zoo! Tyson and Shawney know a lady that is the penguin keeper at the zoo and they got to invite us along for the day!






Kendyl was so scared of the penguin but by the end I think she warmed up to it. I mean we have been watching Mr. Poppers Penguins the last couple days since it was the only movie that didn't get packed. Seriously this little penguin was SO sweet and she loved to walk us around the park!
We also went on our last hoorah to Kiwi Loco (frozen yogurt) with the neighbors. It has become a tradition that every tuesday night we go there since it is buy 1 get 1 free! I almost cried walking out of there for the very last time!
We are happy to annouce we will be living right across from City Creek in Salt Lake city for the next couple months. Weird to say that we might miss this boring little town, or more the friends we have made here. Well we will be friends forever right!?
Now pray the rain doesnt hit and we can make it out of here on time!

Get in Shape...

{I am no weight loss expert, these are just healthy swaps and Ideas I have enjoyed while getting into shape} oh and obviously this isn't me in the picture...i found it on google.
  • Start with taking a picture of yourself in a swim suit against a plain wall. {I thought I was doing ok for myself last fall, Thought I looked ok since I fit in my pre prego clothes. After I took that picture I honestly cried, and that was the BIGGEST motivation for me to start doing something! }
  • Get moving! I dont care if you love tv, a good workout is get up and workout during the commercials. I do jumping jacks, lunges, squats, abs, wall sits, anything to get moving. Seriously its harder than it sounds and ends up getting you a decent workout!
  • Go on walks, go walk the mall, play catch, join a fitness class, sign up for a race and train for it, jump on the tramp, or be a kid for a day. {we were at the park yesterday and i tried to chase bug around and thought, no wonder why I was in shape back in the day, this is hard work!}
  • Make healthy meal swaps. Add more vegetables then main course. If you cant get away from peanut butter-spread it on celery rather than toast. Have egg whites for whole eggs, and eggs for cereal. Try not to eat out, if you do, limit to special occasions. Treat yourself once a week. Lets be serious, nobody can take away my frozen yogurt!
  • Portion Control, Portion Control, Portion Control. put your food on a plate and sit down at a kitchen table to eat, then be done. Dont just grab a handful here and there. My flaw-Chips and salsa. Before I knew It, I could eat a whole bowl of salsa with say 20+chips? Chips are horrible! get your chips before you sit down, count out how many you want and when they are gone, they are gone, dont get more. Its ok to share your bowl of salsa :/
  • When you reward yourself for doing something good, dont reward yourself with food. Go get a cute new shirt, or a pedicure, or take a nice hot bath.
  • Remember, you have to walk the legnth of a football field to burn off 1 m&m, sounds not to bad, but wait til you eat a bag of them, you will have to walk a couple miles to burn those off.

Still Waiting and Buggy update

We are still waiting on if we go or stay and where we go. We have to be out of our apartment in 3 weeks, So right now Im praying to be able to go since we won't have a place to live here! On the upside, the longer the wait, the better chance we are seeing that we are out of Idaho. I am thrilled, but on the downside I am so sad to leave our best friends and have to wait for them in Florida!
Here is our sweet buggy. Poor girl might not ever know her real name. She is going to drow up telling her people her name is Monkey, buggy, princess and twiddle plum. She is still the sweetest odd nicknamed girl I know!
She absolutely LOVES the Price is Right. She loves to get "tickets" and we say "The Winner is....Kendyl Taylor!!" she then throws her arms in the air and yells "YAAAYYYY"
She is in a sticker phase and in a matter of 5 minutes she can have her covered in stickers, along with us, the couch and anything in sight. She loves jewelry. She knows what an elephant, doggie, cow, monkey, pig and turkey say. Her favorite thing to say is No. We will ask her if she had a good nap and she will look at you in deep thought and say, no. If we are watching tv and mickey mouse will ask for her help she shakes her head and says, no. She loves to drag out all her blankets and put them on a pile in the middle of the floor. She also LOVES to help put laundry in the washer and then when they are folded she helps take them to where they belong. She loves to sit on the dishwasher while Im trying to load it. As many times as I take her off, within seconds she is back on.
We love her and cant believe how big and smart she is getting.
