OOPS!

So when Taycee and I first got to Idaho it was crazy.  We got to Idaho on Thursday and had my Grandma's funeral on Friday.  Taycee and I were the last ones to get ready to head out to the funeral on Friday.  I was busy trying to untangle a necklace that I wanted to wear and Taycee was just playing with the house phone.  All of a sudden I heard "911 what's your emergency"  Yes, that's right.  We had our first 911 call.  What are the chances of her dialing that number?  Crazy!

Funny Girl

The other night I asked Taycee if she was tired.  She responded with, "No I not yawning yet."  Funny Girl! There is never a dull moment around our house.


Yes I can now fit her hair into two pony tails without a pound of hairspray.   But she hates to have her hair in "ponies" so it usually doesn't get done.  I love her curly mess anyway.


Temple lights

This year Taycee loves Christmas lights.  Everytime we pass a house with lights she gets so excited! She loved the temple lights.  She told me every color of light we passed. 




Clinic Christmas Party

Scott's dental instructor had a Christmas Party for all the dental students in his clinic.  We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with his friends.

O Christmas Tree

I wasn't going to put up the Christmas tree this year because Taycee and I are headed to Idaho soon, but I decided I couldn't deprive my child of that experience.  So we put the Christmas tunes on and set it up.  Taycee was very excited about it.


Miss Copy Cat

We got home from church on Sunday and I was making dinner.  I came into the living room and this is what I found...Scott and Taycee playing Modern Warfare 3 ( I think that's what it's called)

MS Walk Phoenix Zoo 2011

Once again this year we participated in the Multiple Sclerosis walk at the Phoenix Zoo. This year it was actually kind of cold and rainy but it felt nice to have cool 50 degree weather for a change. We just had to bundle Taycee up because she seriously thinks 75 degree weather is cold. I wish I would have gotten a picture of all the walkers, but I love going to this event because it feels so awesome knowing all of the support this disease has and it gives me hope for a cure one day. This year they had over 3,900 participants and raised over $250,000.


 
 


Thanks to Golnaz and Mo who came and supported our team.  We had some more teammates from the school but other things came up and they couldn't come.  Also thanks to all who donated to our team.

Happy Halloween


Happy Halloween from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Side Note on the above picture.  My butt is stuffed. That is not the actual size of my butt in case you were all wondering.  My mom thought it needed to stick out so it would look more like a duck butt.  And Scott has a pot belly also stuffed by my mom.

 Grandma Tami was here for Halloween.  Scott thought it was only appropriate that she dressed up as a witch :)

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Pumpkin patches are usually a time where you feel that crisp fall breeze, and you might even have to pull out some sweaters and winter coats because the temperature is starting to drop.  Well, not in AZ!  We still try to wear the least amount of clothes possible and spend the majority of the event dripping in sweat.  For that reason we only stayed for maybe at the most 20 minutes and then decided it was way to hot! Needless to say we had a great time,  and Taycee was brave and rode on a horse.  We actually didn't even ride out to the pumpkin patch because it was to hot! Oh you gotta love Arizona.  Give it a couple more weeks and I promise I will be done complaining about the heat. :)





Dinner

Taycee and I sat down to eat last night.  Scott was still at school.  I was spending my time trying to get her to eat some more green beans.  In the middle of a bite she looked at me and said, "Mom my best friend." Seriously melted my heart.  She is definitely my best friend too! She is such a blessing to have in our lives.

Recent sayings by Miss Taycee

There is nothing better when Taycee comes up and wraps her arm around you and says, "Mom, I love you mucho!" Thats right folks our house is bilingual.

A couple of days ago I was talking to Jocelyn on the phone.  I got off the phone and Taycee asked, "Who was that?" I said, "That was Joce." She then went on to say "Oh I like Joce mucho!" Then paused and said, "and I like Alli poquito."   Ha ha.
 I have to explain this.  I taught her to tell me that she loves me mucho with her arms out wide and that she loves her dad poquito with her fingers showing a little.  Probably not the best thing to teach your child No.....funny though?..... Heck yes!

Lately we have been working on the alphabet.  She is getting pretty good at it.  When my mom is around her she always says zebra for the letter Z and at the end of the song instead of singing next time won't you sing with me...she will tease her and say something like next time won't you go eat ice cream.  Taycee always says "Nooooo grandma."  Well the other day Scott and I were riding in the car with her and we were singing the alphabet.  At the end of the song I said "Next time won't you sing with Mickey."  She giggled and said "Noooooo" and so I said "well, next time won't you sing with who then?"  She said, "Donald."  Ha ha ha.  Priceless!


She is definitely a silly girl! But we love her "Mucho!"

Weekend away from the heat!

A couple weekends ago we went up to Show Low, AZ to a friend's cabin.  It was beautiful and the weather was amazing!  It reminded me a lot of Island Park.  Maybe thats why we liked it so much :)  We went with McKay and Liz (who so kindly invited us) and their little baby William, and also with Tyler, Kristen, and their boys Ryder and Ryan.  Taycee had a blast.  She loved having sleep overs and loved staying at the "Big House." The night we got home she said "I wanna go to the Big House." 
Thanks McKay and Elizabeth for the fun weekend!
