Oh I love these girls...






I can't tell you enough how much I LOVE my calling!!...Just thinking about the special girls and boys in my class makes me a little teary...they're just what I need! I love their stories, how well they listen, how well behaved they are and make class so much fun!!! Madi and Janey came over one day when I was home and left these cute notes on my step...made my whole week...they didn't think I knew who had left them but I knew right away who it was;) Another day they came over after to school to hang out and make cookies with me and the kids!! I LOVED it! Last night Paul came in our room with these and said Taylee brought you these! I don't know how she knew I needed a treat but she did and it made my whole night! Her and Maddi W. did an amazing job making these cute cupcakes!! I feel so blessed to have this calling and I love teaching even though they teach me more than I teach them! 






Connly always tells me when he see's "our friends"! They always make him feel so cool! 

Favorite spot at Grandma Lori's...


These two know where the good stuff is;)  if your looking for either of them check the pantry first... Keagan and Ellie play so good together!...
Ellie loves her "Keanan"!!!

Ellie Faye is TWO!

 























Connly's 4!!












Holy Moly Where to Begin?!

I'm kinda sad I haven't blogged in one year! Paul has told me a few times I should start blogging again and I've kinda missed blogging about my cute kids and our little life! So while both kids are napping I'm going to give it another go! So much has happened in the last year! Connly had just turned Three and Ellie had just turned One last time I blogged and now Connly is FOUR and Ellie is TWO!! Time goes so fast. It's been so fun to watch them love playing together. Both of them are SO so busy and its hard for me to keep up with there messes. They make life so much fun. Paul is almost done with school ONE MORE MONTH!! He's been working full time and going to school full time for the last 5 years...I have to say I'm pretty proud of him! He's now working for Global Mobility Tax...Its a Tax firm out of California. The office is in North Provo.  He loves it there and loves the guys he works with. We moved to Nephi last August. We bought us a little house on the west side of town. We're now in Grandma Donna's ward and We love it! She told me the other day that he is her "date" to Sunday School. haha! I love that she loves Paul and he loves her just as much. Sometimes him and the kids come up missing and they're over visiting Grandma. We love being closer to my parent, Mandee's family and all of our other family here. I LOVE being back home in my small little town...Not going to lie though I MISS TARGET! The family dollar is just not cutting it;) haha. Connly and Ellie squeal when we turn down Grandma Lori and Grandpa Gary's road...and they usually leave crying when its time to go. I'm still home with the kids and I do hair here and there in Mckel's salon in Mandee's basement...What a blessing that has been for our little family. Can't thank Mandee and Jaron enough for letting me do that. There's a little update on us...Life is good!

My little man...

Lately this handsome boy of mine can go from making me the happiest mommy around to wanting to pull my hair out...I don't know how its possible but it happens. Every day. Then at night when I think about the day I feel awful thinking about how impatient I am with him about the little things. How I hope he really knows just how much his mommy loves him and that he's my whole world and how there are so many more great things he does during the day than things that are not so great. Sometimes taking a step back(like right now) and realizing I do have a good boy a REALLY good boy and realizing he's three and sometimes he's not going to listen and he's going to make me huge messes and it OK and to just be patient and loving with him and keep trying to teach him. Tomorrow I'm going to do better. I'm so blessed to be his Mom.

My Baby Girl turned ONE!

That year flew by just like I knew it would!! Goodness I feel beyond grateful to be this little girls mommy. She is the most sweet, funny, busy, daring, beautiful, content baby I know. She LOVES her big brother. Eating. Her Binky. Her Daddy. Her Mommy. Suckers. Milk. Green Beans(just like her brother), Peaches and Pears. Climbing. Bath time. Books. Making messes. She has the cutest smile(you should see her Bucky's!). Her laugh melts my heart. She gets SO excited when Daddy comes home. She's learning more and more words. She pretends to talk on the phone. She hears music or if some sings she dances and its the cutest thing. Might sound funny but I look at her and know we are going to be best friends. This girl along with her brother are my whole world. I'm so in love. I love you Ellie Faye more than you will ever know and I'm so lucky to be your mom!!
