Taiya Belle born August 1, 2009

Taiya Belle was born August 1, 2009 at 1:33 PM. She weighed 7 lbs 5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. We are absolutely in love with this little girl. I can't even put into words what a miracle she is. We are the luckiest parents in the world. Here are some pictures of our little girl...

First diaper change by daddy! Ha. He is loving it as much as she is!

Proud Grandmas!

Trav loves this little girl so much! I think he is the happiest and best daddy in the world. I love watching him with Taiya!

39 weeks pregnant, belly pics, nursery pics, 24th of July, and more....

I am horrible at this blogging thing, I swear I am always behind!! And once Taiya gets here it will only be harder!! So sorry, just bear with me. I know everyone just wants to know whats going on... so here are some updates. FINALLY. Ha. First though, I just want to thank everyone for all of their support the last few months. I have the most amazing family and friends in the whole world! Thank you for always checking up on me and always making sure I don't need anything... it has meant so much to me!!! THANK YOU! A lot has happened since my last post, here is a little bit of what has happened...

Trent left on July 1st for the Argentina Buenos Aires North Mission. We are so proud of him and already miss him so much!!!

Our beloved Aunt Vicky passed away on July 12th after a long battle with brain cancer. She has left us with thousands of special memories and the great influence she has had on so many people. We love her so much and she will be very much missed.

Family baby showers...
Both my family and Trav's threw us baby showers. Our families are so supportive and absolutely spoiled us rotten! Thank you so much to everyone. And especially to my mom and trav's aunts for throwing two amazing showers!!! Both nights were so much fun! Here are some pictures from the shower at my parents house- thanks to Lexi for being the greatest little photographer ever! Unfortunately I don't have any pics from my other shower because even through I took my camera I got so caught up in everything going on that I forgot to have anyone take pictures :(

Grandma guessing how long of a piece of string she needs to wrap around my belly!

Me and my mom... she is SO EXCITED to become a grandma!

Nursery pics...

A few weeks ago I got to steal my two favorite kids for a bit... we had a blast going to Wheeler farm, roasting marshmellows, and having a sleepover!

TRAVIS IS HOME!!!!!

I am so so so so so happy that Trav is home! The "plan" was for him to come home about a week before my due date (so on the 23rd) but he surprised me and came home early!! I was just about to go to bed on Thursday, July 16th at my parents house when Trav called. I thought he was just calling to say goodnight but instead he told me that I needed to go home to our house. I was so confused since he is one of the many people that kept telling me I needed to stay at my parents so I wasn't home alone in case I went into labor. So I was obviously really confused with his sudden "okay-ness" of me staying at home. I kept asking why... and he said cause I will be home in about an hour!!! I was SOOOOOOOOO excited and surprised!!! I had absolutely no idea he was coming!!! It was such a good surprise.. thank you thank you thank you trav!!! I guess it means that he loves me... a little bit or something like that :)

Trav BBQ-ing on the 24th of July

Our little firework show... thanks to Trav, Lexi, and Kenzi for lighting them all!

Trav was so cute helping Dyson with the sparklers... he is going to be the best dad ever!

Total blog overload... with lots of tummy pics!!!

Uh... yeah. I'm just a little behind. I keep planning on updating our blog but all my little projects keep coming up and so I keep procrastinating it. Little projects being all my random baby projects I keep doing, I think I'm trying to convince myself that I have some talent when it comes to being creative... not really but I'm pretending and having fun doing it! Let's just say baby has more bows then she will ever be able to wear in her lifetime! Ha. And more to come I'm sure! I just can't stop, its addicting and it helps pass the time with Travis gone. Besides I am getting so dang impatient, I just want to meet and hold this precious little girl who's arrival we so looking forward to!!! Oh, and I finished the nursery yesterday!!! I'll post some pictures but Travis has to see it first so it will be a few weeks. Okay so here are some pictures of what we have been up to the past month or two...

Starting to get ready...

Travis setting up the crib!

All done! Good job Trav!

Kel flew in that morning from Arizona and Aubrey drove up from St. George!! Thank you so much you guys- it meant the world to have you there! And everyone who came... THANK YOU! We had a blast. It was so nice to spend time with everyone! I love you guys!
