Growing too fast!

Taytum is now 2 and 1/2 months old! I cannot believe how the time has flown by! She is so much fun! Every day I am amazed at how much she grows and how much she learns. She started smiling at me about 3 weeks ago and that is the greatest feeling ever! I love to play with her and cuddle with her. She is the greatest joy in our lives! I had her pictures taken by Tiffany Drury when she was just over 2 weeks old. I am so glad that I did because she has already changed so much! I love the basketball picture because she looks like she wants to tell me that she doesn't want to play basketball! hahaha. Anyways Zach and I are very very blessed with such a beautiful baby girl! She is so good!

Zach is in his last semester of his MBA program and will graduate in May! Then he will start to look for some place to get his doctorate! Hopefully somewhere warm! I finished with all of my schooling and am now a licensed secondary teacher. I have substituted once but I am going to sub and the middle school for Mrs. Langston when she has her baby! I am currently coaching the Cedar High Freshman Girls basketball team with Anne Westwood Higbee! It is a blast! We have a great group of girls and I enjoy teaching the sport I love so much! Taytum just travels all around with me to the games and enjoys sleeping to the sound of the band and the crowd! I couldn't have asked for a better baby! Well we had Taytum blessed on the 27th of December and Zach did a great job! It is a moment I have always looked forward to and it was a great spiritual meeting! I am truly blessed with such an amazing family! I will get some pictures up soon of the blessing and all of my family that was in town!

3 AMAZING YEARS!

Well yesterday was our 3rd Anniversary! Crazy how the time has flown. I have to say it has been the best 3 years of my life! We have done so much! Graduated college, had a child and a lot of other really fun things! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband. Zach is so kind and thoughtful and just a great guy! We love doing things together and enjoy each others company! I never thought that I could be so blessed and so happy! I have an amazing husband and a beautiful, healthy baby girl! Zach and I went to Ninja for lunch, I had sushi (not to bad) and then we went to Blindside! It was a great movie! I can't wait to see it again, so if you haven't seen it go! Anyways, I just thought I better let Zach know that I love him greatly and I love being married to my best friend! These are just a few pictures from the first day of marriage until a few months ago! Wow I change my hair a lot! Thanks to my wonderful, talented little sister Brooke!

Newborn Pics

Well we got Taytum's pictures taken. Tiffany Drury did them down in Hurricane and they turned out amazing. Check out her website to see our beautiful baby girl! www.tiffanydphotography.com/blog We are still loving being parents and are so grateful to have such a healthy, happy baby! She smiled at me for the first time 2 days ago and I almost started to cry I was so excited! It's great to be a mom and I have never been so happy and so blessed! Hope all is well with all of you!

Thanksgiving!

Well it was our year to go to Denver be with the Vernon's. It was Taytum's first road trip and she did amazing! I don't know why we are so blessed to have an amazing baby that sleeps good, eats good, and is just so so beautiful! I am amazed every day at how much she grows and how much my love for her grows! I am so blessed to have such a beautiful family! Anyways Denver was super fun! It was great to be with Zach's side of the family. They are such great people! Thanks Cara and Wil for having all 20 of us!

This is Taytum's cousin Morgan, and they happened to have the same outfit on.

I thought this was the cutest thing I have ever seen so I had to take some pictures!

She is already "daddy's little girl!"

Taytum Vernon has finally arrived!

So Taytum has finally arrived! November 5th at 8:08 p.m. weighing 8 pounds 11 ounces and 21 inches long! She has a ton of hair and is even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined! Zach and I are so blessed to have such an amazing Spirit enter our lives! She is a great baby, sleeping most of the time (I think she gets that from me!). She is just so amazing and wonderful! When she is awake she is so calm and pleasant! We couldn't ask for more! So here are some pictures of our little Taytum! As you can see dad is already sleep deprived! haha


Aunt McKell came down from SLC for the birth. Taytum loves being held by her! Thanks Kell for coming!

This is Taytum's first Jordan outfit! Check out those hands! Those are definitely from dad!

You can just see the love in his eyes! He is such a great dad!

So I thought I better get a few last shots of "the belly" before Taytum came. So here it is! haha I can't believe it could stretch that much, the body really is an amazing thing!

I found my camera!

So these are just the pictures to go along with my previous post. Our summer was great! We spent a lot of time playing which is always good. I am currently in my 5th week of student teaching at Cedar High! It's kinda weird to be back here as a teacher but I have enjoyed it thus far. Zach just got a new job at Diamond Ranch Academy and seems to enjoy it so far. It is with troubled youth. I think he will do a great job because he loves to help people. Our baby girl Taytum is coming soon, approximately 6 weeks! She is getting really big, or I am getting really big, but she moves a lot and I am so excited to meet her! We have everything pretty much ready to go, now we will just wait til she decides to come. I am hoping she will decide sooner than later! Pregnancy has been a great and terrible thing. I love the miracle that is happening in my belly but the emotional rollocoaster is a little trying at times. Anyways that is enough about that! Hope all is well with everyone else!

Summer where have you gone!

So a lot has happened since I last blogged! I am still pregnant with a girl for approximately 12 more weeks. I have been very blessed with a healthy baby so far and I have also felt really good most of the time. It is however getting very difficult to sleep! And everyone that knows me knows I don't do well without my sleep. Zach is in his masters program that took up a lot of his summer. I will start student teaching at CHS on August 31st. Zach and I went to California with JaCoy and her family. We had a great time. I took pictures but now I can't find my camera so as soon as I do I will add those. JaCoy and her kids were in Cedar for about 7 weeks. It was fun to have them, I only wish they lived closer. So summer has flown by and now back to school one last time for me.
On July 23rd my Grandpa Rowan passed away from a lot of different things. It was a little unexpected but luckily he was only sick for about a month. He was a wonderful Grandpa who loved us and supported us in all that we did. I doubt I will ever meet anyone with his sense of humor and wit. I loved him dearly and will miss him.
So our summer has come and gone with a lot of fun things. We went to the lake a few times and the mountain and I have great pictures of all of those as soon as I find my camera! So hope all is well with everyone else.
