SOCCER!

2009-05-02T16:34:00.000-07:00

The kids are finally in a sport that they both love. They are in Soccer. I love it cause it is only for 1 month. Every Saturday. There is a hour gap between both games. But we dont live very far from the school so its nice. Tyra made her first goal last Saturday. It was cancelled today due to the rain. Tyra and Nate are happy and enjoy it. Nate said today "Why are they cancelling it? Its just a little rain." So funny. But his team didnt even show up this morning.

The top picture is just down right funny. Has nothing to do with Soccer but it is still funny. It was cold here last night so the chicken got on top of the sheep to get warm. I told Robbie that that is the height of lazyness.

Birthday

2009-04-20T06:29:00.000-07:00

Ok so today is my birthday! (the 20th) Yeah for me. Its just another day to me. You know how it is the older you get them more you dont worry about it. I wish that was the same for alot of things. LOL. Anyway we had a camp fire out in our back yard last weekend. It was so fun. We roasted hot dogs and smores. It was a nice late family home evening. The kids had a lot of fun. Tyra is already asking if we can put up the pool. It has been in the 70's here. But it is not susposed to last. We are susposed to get some rain this weekend. So anyway this is my life. Pretty boring. Just same as always. :)

England

2009-04-13T17:57:00.001-07:00

Ok so I went to England and had a BLAST!. I so enjoyed myself. There is just one little problem. I was trying to get the pics off of my camera onto the computer, and I hit format and deleted ALL of the pics. I was so upset. I started to cry. So I have to go by my memories and what is in my head.

I left here on Tuesday the 31st of March. Thanks to some wonderful friends that let me stay the night at there house and then took me to the airport. I left SLC and landed in Chicago, then went on into London England. (Actually Heathrow Airport).

It was a 3 hour flight to Chicago and a 8 hour flight on into England. The flight in to England was at night so I got to sleep. When I arrived in England I had to wait for my sister to show up. It is a 2 hour drive to the airport from there house, but it took 4 hours that day due to traffic.

I was able to go to London while I was down there. It was so amazing. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to go down there. I got to see the changing of the guards, and see the castle. There is nothing but flat green lands. They do alot of farming there. They have alot of pig and sheep farms.

There was this field that was full of sticks all in a row with things hanging on them. I asked my brother in law why they had old shoes hanging on the sticks. He said those are Scare Crows. I looked harder and sure enough there was dead crows hanging by there feet on the sticks. He said that they were scare crows to scare all the other crows off. It is susposed to say "This is what will happen to you if you cross this property". It looked like it was working. There was no crows in the field.

Then it was time for me to head home. We left there house at 7:30 a.m. there time which was 1:30 a.m. our time. I was not flying out till 12:40 but she didnt want me to miss my flight. So I had all my bags cheked in and boarded for a 9 hour flight back to the states.

We was not able to leave for a half an hour. They would not let us get on the runway. So anyway I landed in Chicago and only had 1 1/2 layover. I was hurrying as fast as I could. I had to get through Customs and then get my luggage and put it on the other flight.

I had some snow globes that they would not let me take on the plane with me so I had to check them in, mind you I was able to take them on with me from London to Chicago. So I had to run from on terminal to the other. I barley made it in time to get borded on the plane. I was a crying mess was not able to find the right terminal. Finally I found it and started my way on into SLC. I was never so excited to see SLC. We got home late that night and I was able to catch up on my sleep friday.

Well it finally happened. We took the kids to the eye dr and Nathan didnt need glasses yet, and Tyra did. Nathan wanted them so bad. Tyra is so so about them. She is 20/50 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left. The left eye is doing most of the work. She doesnt have a lazy eye, but the right eye is working harder to keep up with the left eye. She got 2 pairs. The black one and a purple one. The purple one wont be in till next week. I will post another pic of those ones when she gets them. I think that she looks cute. Nate is slowly getting over the fact that he doesnt need them yet. To top it all off they both are going to need braces. Isnt that just adding salt to the wound! lol. We have to make an app for next month for them to see the orthordontist. Nate has a cavity that needs filling, and Tyra is going to have her one front tooth bleached. She has a little yellow stain on the one front tooth that he is going to grind it down and put in a filler. Thats all for now. Thats just the latest goings on in the Taylor Household.

Paul :)

2009-03-25T09:20:00.000-07:00

So this morning I come out of the bathroom from getting ready for the day and what do I find? A band aid stuck to my brand new TV. We got a flat screen and have stressed it to the kids not to touch it or go anywhere near it. But Paul just seems to hear "Go ahead and go near it, touch it, put things on it". I dont know what to do with him. He is so full of mischief. Any ideas on what to do with a kid that is into EVERYTHING? I am open to answers. He is always drawing on the walls, on him self and what ever else he can find to draw on. I am sure that if he could he would draw on the dog. I just dont know what to do with him. Is there anything that will work to get him to stop and listen to what we say and not do the opposite of what we say. I dont remember the other 2 being quite like this.

Girls weekend out!

2009-03-16T13:43:00.001-07:00

Ok so first of all Tyra and I started the day off with going to the mall of course. Then we went and seen some friends that so kindly invited us to stay with them instead of getting a Hotel. It was really nice of them to let us stay. We had planned on getting a Hotel. Then we went swiming. Well Tyra went. (She only had an hour so I didnt want to go.) Then we went back and got her cleaned up. The here comes the best part! We went to DISNEY ON ICE. It was a BLAST. We got front row seats! That was so cool. Other then the fact that we had to climb the whole flight of stairs to get anything to eat. But thats ok. All night Tyra kept saying "Thanks you so much Mom" I felt so good. The best part of it she got to see Tinker bell up close. (Her nickname). She was on cloud nine. We rode trax down there and back. Then Sunday when we got up we went over to her Best Friends house and they got to spend time together before we left. They have know each other since Kindergarten. They hit it off the very first day. They are so cute together. It was nice to be able to spend time with my daughter. I might not make the right decisions but I but I do love my kids and try to help them enjoy there child hood. :)

All right here is the right one. To answer the question. No this is just a class that they do like twice a year. Just to give the girls something to do. And to introduce them into dance. I wish that it was a class that was longer. But we will put her in again when it comes around again.

As promised here is the video of Tyra in Mini Drill. I hope that you all enjoy it. They only had 3 hours of practice. For that I think that they did good.

Pros and Cons

2009-02-12T16:14:00.000-08:00

There is Pros and Cons to everything in life. Here is my list of Pros and Cons of living in a small town verses living in the city.

Pros of living in a small town:
There is no stop lights.
Rush hour traffic is being behind a tractor doing 5 mph down the road.
You know where your kids are and who they are with.
Your kids can walk home from school.
Tyra gets to take Piano from family.
Its alot more relaxed. Not as stressfull.
You can actuall see the stars at night!
There is not ANY food options for at least 30 min.
There is only 1 Grocery store and 3 gas stations
The teachers in Elementry and High School are now teaching your kids.

The Cons of living in a small town:
There is no shopping for a hour. You either have to go to Vernal or over to Price.
There is not as many people that you LIKE to visit with.
You realize that the people that you knew in High School did not change.
There is not as many options for Hospitals.
There is not as many food options. (This is both good and bad) lol
You are RIGHT near your in-laws. (not to bad I guess)
There is no MALL

Like I said there is pros and cons to everything. I am enjoying it here. Other than the fact that you have to drive an hour to get to a wal-mart. The grocerie store is really expensive. But what do you expect when there is no compition here. Yes we do have a swimming pool (a very small one. but it does the job). And we also have a bowling alley. It is also not bery big. I am not complaining. It is nice to be back home. But sometimes I miss it out in the city. Not all that much but sometimes. I hope that you all enjoy reading this. I hope that you get a good laugh. One last note. Our Drill Team took Region for the 6th time in a row. They are going to try for 7 next year. :)

The kids

2009-02-08T19:14:00.000-08:00

Yes we did it! We finally got tink some High Heels. They are only about an inch high. But she is very happy. We celebrated Pauls Birthday today. Its not till the 11th but we did it now. My parents came up and had dinner with us. He was so happy. He really doesnt know the difference yet. Tyra's in in 2 weeks. And boy is she counting down the days. I think that she is more excited for this than anything. She is actually being quite patient about it.

Paul got a sleeping bag, some sun glasses, a Diego Backpack and some books. He is the one that actually picked out his pj's, his sun glasses, and his Diego. But he fell asleep on the way home from town and so I put them away and he forgot about them till tonight. It was really nice.

2009-01-31T15:00:00.000-08:00

GOOD NEWS. The doctors FINALLY found out what is wrong with my dad. He has had a really high fever since he got to the hospital, and his white blood count was really high. He has walking pnemonia (sp). The doctor said that he was starting to brew a pretty good batch. I guess that he was tearing out the old cupboards in my parents house, and the water had leaked back there. Well he did not have a mask on and breathed all that mold in, and on top of that he had a head cold that had settled in his chest. It was in between the tissues so that is why the doctors could not find it. He is doing better. They are keeping him over night one more night. My dad is pretty mad. So that just tells us that he is feeling better. Thanks to all of you who responded to my las post. It is nice knowing that I have friends that keep me and my family in there prayers when things are bad for us. I really do appreciate all the love and concern.

Just about the most scariest thing happened to me yesterday. I was thinking about my dad all day but didnt think anything about it. I just figured that if I did call him what would I say. Well my Mom called me last night about 5:30 p.m. and told me that they was taking my dad to the hospital. He was having really bad chest pains and was having a really hard time breathing. They got him to the hospital and done all sorts of tests on him. His heart looks good and his chest looks good. THey are not sure what is wrong. Early this morning he had another episode. So they gave him some more moriphine and are watching him. He is in ICU right now, and we dont know what is wrong with him. The Doctors are still trying to find out what is wrong. So long story short, when you are thinking of someone call them or go stop by, that feeling is there for a reason.

The kids

2009-01-18T19:15:00.000-08:00

Time to update everyone on the fam. Tyra is now taking piano from Robbies sister. It is really nice. She is loving it but the newness is starting to wear off. She still like it but it is hard for her to get up at 6:30 and have to practice for a half hour. Its nice to hear the piano.

The boys are still the same. Just spoiled. But we would not have it any other way. Robbie is now teaching the 3rd Sunday in Elders Quarm. We was there a week and the Elders Quarm Pres cornered him and asked him if he would do it. He loves it. It is kind of different being in the same ward as family so they know all of your business. But on the other hand its nice. There is there down falls to everything. I am not complaining. Dont get me wrong. This move was for the best. Me and Robbie are doing great. There is not as much stress. It is alittle more relaxed and not as fast paced.

I have not got a job and am not in a really big hurry. I will eventually use my schooling. But for right now I am happy staying home and being with the kids. The thing with school is it never goes to waste. It will be there when I am ready for it.

Thanks to all of our friends for being there for us and all the support that they gave us through everything.

This was our family trip to the Dinosaur Museum. We had so much fun. The weather was nice and it was not crowded. We promised the kids that if they helped clean up the house then they would go. Of course all the way over there they were fighting. But thats normal. Well enjoy the pics. C

Christmas

2008-12-29T06:42:00.000-08:00

Well i guess thats its time for me to report on what the kids got from the jolly man in the red suit! He was very good to them this year. Of course he is every year! We broke down and got Tyra and Nate Nintendo DS's this year. They are actually really responsible with them. They got lots of clothes. Tink is out growing her pants. I really hate it when they start to grow. It makes it hard on us. You dont expect them to grow up. They need to stay this size forever so that I dont have to worry about them getting hurt by a boyfriend, girlfriend. Oh well so is life.

Anyway back to Christmas. Grandma Taylor gave each of them a stuffed animal (and tink got $5.00) They got some gowboy boots that dont fit any of them so I am making a trip back to Vernal to exchange them in for a bigger size. They are very happy with what Santa brought them. I have raised my kids to be thankful for what ever they get even if its not alot.! I hope that you all have had a wonderful 2008. Heres to 2009 and all the memories that we can create. Love you all and thanks to all our friends. Love The Taylors

Our House

2008-12-07T19:01:00.000-08:00

Well I got the rest of the story about our house. We was out to my in-laws for thanksgiving. We went driving around town friday. We had went down by the local grocerie store and saw a sign that said that there was a 2 bed house for rent. We called the number and no one answered. So Robbie left a message. We went over to Roosevelt and was looking and our landlord called us and we met him at 4:00. Well before all this started we had been praying and Robbie had been fasting to try to find us a house to rent. We had got us a job and now we needed a place to live. So when we got there we was talking to Mike about the house and looking around. We took and application and went over to Robbie's moms house to fill it out. Robbie went back over to the house to turn in the application and they said that we could rent it. Well a week later Robbie went to pay her the deposite and first months rent. She had asked Robbie if we had been praying for a place to live. He said yes that we had also been fasting. She said that she knew it. That she had had many people calling about it, and 2 people were susposed to come look at it the same morning that we looked at it. She kept telling them that it was rented even though it was not. She kept telling people no. Finally we came in to the house and she got this overwhelming feeling to rent it to us. Needless to say we had a true anwser to our prayers. We have never prayed and gotten the answer right in front of us. So we feel very gratefull right now. Thanks for all that you all have done for us. C

The move

2008-11-29T12:43:00.000-08:00

Well the inevitable has come. We are moving. We are getting things packed up and ready to go. We found us a house in Duchesne that is small. But will do for right now. The hard thing is that we are going from a 3 bed to a 2 bed. But we have to do something. I cant have Robbie out there for a week and us up here for a week. Only to see each other on the weekends. Its not good for any of us. He starts his job Monday, and the kids will probably start school the 5Th of Dec. I have been dragging my feet but I think that this will be a good move. It is just really funny. Cause things have fallen into place to fast. Robbie gets an offer from Qwest, gets a job with Ubet in Roosevelt, and now we was able to find a place. Like his mom said "The Lord must want you out here". There is obviously a reason why things are running so smooth. I just hope that our run of smoothness will not stop any time soon.. I will keep in touch with everyone still. We are not going to stop going out on our dates with the Jensens. We can come up every other weekend. We are going to try to make it up for the Ward Christmas party. Try to see everyone and say hi. Well its time to get back to packing up. C

Nate

2008-11-14T13:33:00.000-08:00

Well it happend. One of a parents worse fears. Nate was at school Thursday wneh the school called us and told us that he had fallen of the playground and hurt his arm. It was swelling and it was hurting him alot. So i leave work and take him over the IHC. Well they took X-rays of his Right arm and come to find out he broke both bones in his right arm. So they had to trasnport us to Primary Childrens. He had a compound fracture. His bone went through his skin and back in. So they had to go in and do surgery to make sure that there was not an infection. Mom of course was very upset. Robbie and doug came in and gave him a blessing. He done great up untill the meds started wearing off. But we are now home and resting as comfortably as possible when you have a very active 2 year old. But it was fun and exciting. I dont reall want to do it again. He is doing great. He has a splint on it right now. In about a week he has to go in and get a cast put on it. They want to make sure that there is no more swelling. The pic on the top is the one from after the surgery. The one on the bottom is the X-ray. You can see the mark on the X-ray that is where his bone went through his skin. One thing about Nate is that he knows how to do it right. LOL. C

Latest news in the Taylors house

2008-11-01T21:01:00.000-07:00

I feel like this week has been a roller coaster ride I have been riding on and I dont want it to stop. I started my externship at a place called Westview Womens and Family clinic. I love it. This place has welcomed me in from the first day there. Its really hard for me sometimes though. The people in the front speak Spanish. So its really hard sometimes to understand them when they get talking. But for the most part it is really fun. Its not what I expected at all. Its better. I am doing alot of phone calls to insurance companys to see why the claim has not been paid. Or else I am pulling files or putting them away. Which is nice cause it gives me a break away from the computer. It is reall hard to look at the computer for 8 hours a day.

Robbie has had an offer from Qwest that is a buy out. Basically what it means is that they will pay him so much for every year they have been there, plus all the vacation and personal time that he has for next year. At the time it sounded really good. But then what do we do? Well he was looking online and found a job out in Roosevelt basically doing the same thing. But its in a more smaller town where he feels more comfortable raising the kids. I am not to sure about it right now. But there is alot on our plates as what to do. He went to the Temple and fasted and prayed about it. He had said that he thinks that he is doing what he needs to. I am still not so sure. I really dont want to go live out there. There is nothing out there for us. My parents are now out there. But still. I would have a better chance of getting a good paying job up here then I would down there. Plus we would be leaving some really good friends. I am still riding the fence. I think that it would be best to pull out of the deal, sell our house and move some where that is not so expensive but still stay in the ward. But that is enough rambling on from me. I hope that you all had a WONDERFULL Halloween. We sure did. Thanks to all of you for your help. Sarah J and Candis has just been absoutly wonderful helping us out with the kids. I can never thank them enough. Thanks once again to all of you. !!!! :) C

Tyra, Nate, and Paul Halloween 2008

Taylor family halloween.

2008-11-01T20:44:00.000-07:00

Well as you can tell the kids had quite a fun time doing the pumpkins. Its really funny cause Robbie went to the store and had got 3 pumpkins. A big one a medium one and a small one. Thinking that it would go, Tyra, Nate, and Paul. Of course not. Paul got the biggest one and Tyra got the smaller one. They turned out quite well. They stayed in our house till last night at when we finally put them out. They came home with a loot. We went out with the Siwick's and the kids came home like bandets. Paul of course only had to be shown once on what to do. Then he was right up there pushing his way up saying" TRICK OR TREAT". It was quite enjoyable to watch. We went over to our neighboors house (June). Well her screen door was locked and her husband had to get the key. Well Paul was getting VERY anxious. He began pulling on the door and yelling. "It's me Paul open the door please. Trick or treat. Its me Paul." Over and over. June was laughing. Tyra was dressed up as a cat, nate was a Storm stooper, and Paul was Super Man. They are now getting anxious for Christmas. Of course neither one of us is. But its ok. :) C

Hey there

2008-10-01T14:56:00.000-07:00

Well thanks you two for your coments. I am going to need help in adding more stuff to my front page. I am not sure how to do it. I have a myspace page and it is easier to add then this one is. I am very happy that it worked. I was not sure if it would. But any way I will add stuff to this as it happens. I am so bad at that.
I made the presidents and deans list at school. I am so happy. Tyra is loving school. She has Girl Scouts every other thursday. And Nate is also loving school. We have a hard time getting him up and ready for school. But once he is up and ready he like to go. Paul goes over to Sarah's house and sometimes over to Candice's. I am so very thanks full for the help that these to sisters have given me. Robbie is working hard as always. He loves his job (for the most part).
It is so fun when I go pick up paul from Sarah's house. Oliva wants to come over to my house. They are so cute together. We dont mind having them over here. It gives Sarah and Doug a break from all the comotion.
Well its getting time to get my kids off the bus. I will try to do better at blogging on here. I am bad at it. I need to start reading it more. Thanks once again for the comments. Carrie
