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!

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!!

Taycee's first 4th of July

On Sunday June 7th we got to bless our beautiful baby girl. It was such an amazing day. I was so proud of Scott and the amazing blessing he gave Taycee! I was so nervous for the day because I didn't want Taycee to start screaming in the microphone but she didn't even make a sound! After the blessing we went to my mom's house and had dinner. It was a great day.

Taycee's Newborn Pictures

We had Taycee's pictures taken a couple of weeks ago and it was so much fun. I love how they turned out! Katie Wells did a great job! She is getting big so fast and is already a month and a couple of days old. Time flies when your having fun and busy! Life has been crazy and we have had to adjust to the new life, but we couldn't be happier and we love the new addition to our family. I have to say she already has Scott wrapped around her little finger. Its so cute! We are busy trying to finish up on all the things down in Arizona and are starting to prepare for the big move in July! What a couple of busy months we have coming up.
