Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year. Mostly because we got to dress Taycee up in her lamb outfit ( she was not to thrilled about it though.)

This is Kristen and her two little boys. Ryan was Max from the Wild Things and Ryder was a Wild Thing....so cute!!

Taycee is completely sitting up by herself. I can't believe how fast the time has gone....pretty soon she will be getting into everything, very close to crawling.

And Finally I have started Taycee on baby foods and if you can't tell by the huge smile she actually likes it. Her first food was squash, kind of wierd that she would like it that much.

She had her 6 month check up on Friday and once again she is still huge for her age. She is still in the 98th percentile for height and 97th percentile for weight. What can I say....we have a very healthy, happy, smiley little girl and we love her to death!

5 Months....Where has the time gone?

Taycee is rolling over like crazy. The other day I left the room and found her like this, perfectly placed between the two legs of the toy. I don't know how she managed that one.

And she still loves her jumper!

Taycee's 4 Month Pictures

While I was in town I had Taycee's 4 month pictures taken. I am so pleased with the way they turned out. Thanks to Tasha Price for taking them. I love them. I hope you don't mind that I stole these from your blog until I get the cd but I had to show off how good the pictures turned out! Thanks again!

It was so great to catch up with friends while I was home. Thanks to Mindi, Shantay, and Brianna, and of course Kiah for getting together and going out to lunch! It was a lot of fun!

Brianna and Kiah
Taycee's future husband Jaxton and his mommy Whitney. It was so fun to see you!

And I guess while I was gone Scott decided to become a mountain man??

Sun Valley

Over labor day weeekend I got to go home and spend some time with my family. It was so much fun to get away from the heat and to actually enjoy the weather. We had a lot of fun swimming, playing games, and hanging out. Let's just say that Taycee was worn out from all of the attention she recieved that weekend!

More Pictures

I don't know if many of you shop at Children's place but it has become my new favorite store. When stuff goes on sale it goes on sale dirt cheap. I got this dress for Taycee for 3 dollars. I couldn't believe it. The sunglasses pictured below.....1 dollar. Thats right when your in dental school you have to become a bargains shopper.

She actually left the sunglasses on for quite some time. I was surprised.

I had to post this picture because I thought it was so funny. I was changing out of her dress last sunday and this happened and it reminded me of when you are a little girl and you pretend its your wedding veil, so of course I had to take a picture!

Fun Videos

These two Videos are so cute. I can't believe how fast time is going by/

Baseball Game

Yesterday we went to an Arizona Diamondback game with Tyler and Kristen. It was a lot of fun, even though we sat really close to the top of the stadium. Taycee was in heaven with the bright lights and it was such a nice stadium, indoor and air conditioned. It was fun to get out and experience a little bit of the Phoenix city.

Taycee is starting to giggle when you tickle her. Its so funny!

Swimming

We took Taycee swimming on Saturday for the very first time. It was so funny to see her reaction. She was in absolute heaven. She thought it was a big bathtub and just lounged around for a while. It was really hot so we weren't able to be outside for very long but so fun to be in the pool in our neighborhood. I can't wait for it to cool down outside so Taycee and I can make more frequent visits.

This is the Owens family. The are also in dental school. It is nice to have another couple to hang out with. They have a two little boys Ryan and Ryder. Ryder and Taycee are both 3 months so it will be fun when they get a little older so they can play together. W

And finally, I booked my plane ticket home for over labor day weekend. I am so excited to go home for a little while even though Scott won't be able to come with me which is a bummer, but I am really excited to go to Sun Valley and hang out with my family.

Taycee's favorite things

Taycee has started to love toys, or anything that can fit in her mouth. She recently has found these two favorite toys pictured below. The one right below is her favorite. She tries to fit all of it in her mouth at once and she hates it when you take it away. I am not sure where she learned how to throw a fit but I am pretty sure she learned it from Scott not me. So when you take this little toy away she screams and arches her back until you give it back and then once again she shoves it into her mouth. It's pretty funny! The jumperoo pictured at the bottom she also loves. She is starting to see that she can play with all of the items on it instead of putting them in her mouth. Its so fun to watch her expressions when she hits one of the things on it and it makes a noise.

Getting Bigger

I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Taycee is now 3 months old and is definitely developing a personality. She is so much fun to be around and she loves to talk (or try to). We really have a fun time with her. However, she is developing her way to throw a little temper tantrum. She has learned how to arch her back and does it alot when she is angry and wants something. She also likes to throw in a grunt every once in a while when she is throwing her fit. We love her though and you can't help but laugh at her even though she is really mad! Arizona is great and we are getting used to the heat (well getting there). We have made some friends and are so excited that there are some good LDS couples in Scott's dental class. Scott has started school and they are already long days from about 8-5 and then later that night studying. Taycee and I hang out, usually in our pajamas and then about noon or so decide to get up and do something. Here are some recent pictures of Taycee. Note: in all of the pictures she was smiling but by the time my dang camera took the picture she was done smiling.

Its a lot of hard work to sit in a bumbo chair

We love it when Daddy comes home from School!

This is Taycee's new friend Ryder

Finally an Update

It has been crazy the past couple of weeks between the 4th of July, packing and unpacking and Scott's white coat ceremony but finally a couple of minutes to update the blog and let everyone know that we are still alive. We finally made it to Arizona. We did the drive in one day and Taycee was such a trooper! It was a long day but we were glad we made it in one day. The next morning we started bright and early and moved all of our stuff into the house. That day it was 118 degrees outside and really it hasn't been anything less since we have been here. We love the house and feel so blessed to be in the neighborhood that we are, with a lot of LDS people around us. Thanks so much to both of our families who helped us make the move a lot easier and a lot quicker. We would still be moving into our house if it wasn't for them. Today it was Scott's first official day of dental school so he had his White coat ceremony. It was so awesome to see him walk up there and get his white coat. What an amazing accomplishment and well deserved after all the hard work he put forth to get to this point, only four more years and then an official dentist! I am really proud of him and I know he will do awesome in dental school! And finally some cute pictures of Taycee. She has been so fun to watch grow up and is almost 3 months!! Wow has the time flown by but we love her and she is a blessing in our lives. I have a feeling we are going to be best buds over the next four years!!
