Dreading Church

I hate that I feel this way, but Taylor makes it so hard for me to enjoy church anymore.  I am just counting down the weeks that Taylor will be able to go to nursery.  She is CRAZY!  I try so hard to keep her still on my lap and I really try to get creative with keeping her occupied on my lap.  If I let her down just once, then it is all down hill from there on, so I try to keep her on my lap.  Then between class we go out in the hall and walk for a bit until sunday school starts.  She gets so antsy and it is so embarrassing. I don't know what to do.  She starts flipping her head around and tries to walk up my chest while I'm holding her hand and she is standing on my thighs.  It is just a nightmare.  In Kentucky, I was a nursery leader, so Taylor would come in and play with all the kids when she got too hard to manage, that way Tyson could go enjoy Priesthood.  Our new ward has a lot of Older couples in it, so I am afraid they are more critical about me getting control of 'my kid'  :)  And when I take Taylor out in the hall, I make her sit on my lap.  I feel she is too young to understand, however I need to start young otherwise I will have to back track.  WHAT WORKS FOR YOU?

Our House

We still haven't sold our house in Kentucky.  We've had a few contracts, but we have the worst luck ever!  Anywho, Tyson's grandma, Ella, passed away a few months ago.  They are trying to sell her house, so until then we are so fortunate to live here rent free.  We hope we can sell our house in Kentucky soon, so we can actually start saving money. 

I love the house.  It is so big!  HOWEVER it has pink and blue carpet and pink and blue toilets, etc...  It really doesn't bother me though.  The carpet is so soft and there is so much storage!!!  I love the food storage area.  We are very happy here in this home right now.  Take a look at these lovely pictures :)

Our view of the mountains beats it all!

THIS WEEK

On Tuesday Night, Tyson's family got tickets to Taylor Swifts Concert

IT WAS AWESOME!

It was my sister in law, Tiffany's, Birthday and she had FRONT ROW seats for her and her hubby.  We watched her touch hands with Taylor Swift.  Lucky Lucky!

Taylor Swift put on a great concert, and I was so glad to be able to go.  Tyson had no interest, so he stayed home with our little girl, Taylor Perrero :)

MEMORIAL WEEKEND

Over Memorial Weekend, we went camping up at Strawberry Reservoir

IT RAINED THE WHOLE TIME, JUST ABOUT!

We had quite the interesting memories mostly in the middle of the nights.  

The first night our neighbors blasted their music till 3am, 

The next night, it poured rain, so some drunks decided to drive ruts into the roads and went 4-wheelin, squealing up and down, tearing up the roads and peeling out.  It kept us up all night.  They ended up getting in trouble because my sister in law called the police and she was a witness :) 

They deserved it because it got really scary trying to get out of those roads with big ol trailers and it being so slick at the same time.

Taylor had a blast being outside playing with all her cousins and getting dirty.

Bronson and Tanner got in some trouble because they got totally muddy from 4-wheelin and didn't have any other warm clothes...so they had to borrow others.

Here's their muddy 4-wheelers

My sister in laws boyfriend came to visit, and sadly got stuck :(

So all the guys helped push him out

Taylor went on a small 4 wheeler ride with daddy.  She LOVED it.  She wanted to go on the big 4 wheelers instead of her own quad.

Instead of catching fish, they caught crawdads... YUCK!

RIGHT AFTER LEAVING KENTUCKY

While Tyson and his parents finished packing up the truck in Kentucky and detailing our house, I flew to Vegas with Taylor to be with my family for a few days.  My parents were going to California for the weekend for the California Dental Assoc Convention in Anaheim, so I drove up there with them.  We went to Newport Beach and Taylor LOVED walking on the beach and LOVED the seagulls. We got some icecream, which she LOVED as well.

After California, we came back to Vegas for a day and then me and Tay flew up to Utah Monday.  It was a short trip, but we had a lot to do to get settled into our new life here in Springville, UT!

It is so beautiful here.  I will post more UT pics later.

Yee Ha

We all went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse to celebrate Tyson's graduation.

Taylor eating a slice of a lemon! 

She loved it! YUCK!

Saddle up cowboy!

And of course we had to give Tyson a Yee Ha for a job well done in graduating dental school!

Yeeee HA!

Check out our prior posts of Tyson's Graduation...

Tyson's Graduation

It is official!  I can't believe it is over!  Graduation Day was such a wonderful day!  Most of Tyson's family came in town to support him.  He was so happy they all came out for him. It really was special to have them out here.

This picture is of Tyler Ashman hooding Tyson.

Tyson's brother-in-law, Tyler Ashman, graduated from UofL 16 years ago.  They will be working together as Associates in the same Dental Practice. 

CONGRATS TYSON! YOU DID IT!

Tyson and Mark Mortenson, one of his BEST friends!  

We sure are going to miss the Morties!  It makes me so sad that we are all parting ways!

We had to get a picture with TALL Brad Christensen and Tyson next to each other.

We have a few of these pics through the last 4 years, so it was traditional :)

These are the bestest friend through the last 4 years and it KILLS me to be going in different directions.  I hate losing such close friends!

I'll never forget all our GNO's! (Girls Night Out)

They were must-haves!

Sure will miss you gals!
