Post for Aunt Mindy

So Taelin now LOVES Aunt Mindy's puppy.  This puppy was Mindy's favorite puppy growing up, and it accidently got packed with all of Taelin's toys.  Taelin sleeps with this (now that his blanket is gone) and loves to take it on walks:) Thanks Aunt Mindy for letting Taelin have this puppy:) He will love it forever!

This hat didn't stay on for even 15 sec!

Fun bouncy toy to walk around

Jumping on the tramp with his friend and daddy! we had so much fun at the party, i took some really good videos but they won't upload right now, so i'll try later.  Taelin's friend Jaxen came over and played too and then he got to spend the night at our house.  It was his moms birthday weekend, so we gave them a night out:) It was so much fun! Taelin & Jaxen are such great friends and they are so nice to each other:) All Taelin wanted to do was sleep in Jaxen's bed.  We fell asleep to Robin Hood and called it a night at 930:) Jaxen woke up at 7:00 and started playing with Taelin's toys so it of course woke up Taelin & I.  We had so much fun playing outside and with Taelin's toys before his parents came to pick him up!!! What a fun weekend!

FUN FUN FUN

Taelin now LOVES to pick his outfits in the morning...this particular morning he wanted to wear a sweatshirt, pants, and shorts...he usually loves to wear 2 pairs of shorts...what a silly boy!!!

Monday we got to go to the doctor and find out if I was REALLY prego...and the results came back POSITIVE:) we are so excited to be adding another child to our family!! I didn't have a shirt yet for Taelin to wear that said BIG BROTHER, so I made one and that's how we showed our family:) He is going to be such a good OLDER BROTHER!!! YAY for baby #2:) we have a doc apt on the 31st, and that's when we will find out when we are due:)

Taelin also has been into coloring.  He love to color with one crayon, and then put it away, and then scribble with another one, and then put it away, etc....he does very good circles:)

I love his face in this, he is so concentrated:)

This is where he put all the crayons...what a silly!

He also loves to stack his blocks!

And pretend that he is a toy too:)

This week we got a package from GRAMMY, and it had a LION and a Eagle in it for Taelin!! Taelin was so excited! Thanks grammy for the package:)

Taelin's faces are just so funny when he is super concentrated...he moves his mouth to the side, and since he is teething of course there is slobber everywhere! I love it!! He was practicing rolling this circle toy!

Him getting dressed.....2 pairs of shorts.....and pants on under that......

This is Taelin's favorite movie right now....he goes crazy when he hears the drums!!!! He stops everything he is doing just so he can watch the drums! It's adorable!

My husband is pretty much amazing and came home with THESE for me:) It made my day!:) I love surprises like this!! And they were so delicious too:)

2nd week of may

The 2nd week of May was CRAZY!! Dalin was out in the field shooting his rifle, and he would be gone from 330 am to 630 pm every night!! It was crazy!! I felt bad for him too because this week was SUPER RAINY!! So he had to shoot in the rain....but of course....becasue my husband is AMAZING...he got 2ND AWARD EXPERT in shooting!!!! He amazes me!! He is so good at everything he does, and learns things so quickly.  Good job honey!! You deserve it!!! CONGRATS!!!
So monday was a crazy day!! Taelin played with Olivia and really missed Dalin.  It was hard because the week before Dalin had a pretty easy week.  He got to come home after PT and eat breakfast with us. would be able to come home for lunch, and then was home around 4-5...so Taelin saw him A LOT! So with not seeing daddy for awhile, he was pretty sad.  Once he took a nap and woke up he was pretty happy and was SUPER happy when he got to see daddy:)

Tuesday the 10th Dalin felt a pinch better...which is good....every day is different...some good, some bad:( So we were happy that today he was feeling at least a little bit better:)  Taelin is having a hard time finishing all of his food that we give him, so for lunch time we were at the table for about an hour trying to get him to eat all of his food.  He finally did it, but boy was it tough.  This is a challenge every day now for us, but he is getting better.
Wednesday we had our FIRST tropical storm!! It was so crazy cool! So much rain and so much wind!! Dalin got done that day at 1000 am, which i was so happy about:) We all just hung out inside, because we couldn't go outside, and just relaxed.  That night I did insanity ( taelin likes to do it with me, and this time he wanted to wear some of my work out shorts) and we also got Taelin a fun drum and football....like he needs any more toys.....

Thursday was a lot of fun! My friend Erica went to go get her hair cut, so she brought Jaxen over to play with Taelin.  They had such a fun time together!! I love having these 2 play together! They actually share toys:) It was a lot of fun! that night i FINALLY got to watch AMERICAN IDOL!! I was so happy:) I want Lauren to win!

 This video is hilarious!!!!

That night while we were watching American Idol I finally got on video what Taelin loves Dalin to do to him!! It's so funny! He loves to be "punched" in the mouth

He also made up this fun game with his train while we were watching American Idol.

Friday the 13th was a fun day.  I went with my neighbor Allison to Monakids Jungle.  Olivia and Taelin had so much fun! This time it was so much better because it wasn't on a Saturday, and so there weren't as many kids there....probably only 10...so Taelin didn't get pushed around, and he didn't have to wait in any lines or anything.  This time he really liked to play in the house and on the slides...not the roller slide...we only went down that 2 times.  It was so much fun! we played there for about 1.5 hours and then came home and got Taelin and daddy already for their father and son camp out on the beach.

Taelin was so excited about it!! While they went camping, our relief society had a fun cultural exchange.  All of the branches got together (american & japanese) and had up tables of things that they wanted to teach.  I signed up for bow making, cake decorating, calligraphy, and frame making.  I'm really excited for my classes:) There was also a bunch of food as well! It was really a lot of fun.  Well, on my way home I get a call from Dalin and he tells me that Taelin lost his blanket.....HIS BLANKET......I freaked out......i couldn't believe it.....this was Taelin's most favorite blanket, and his comfort....and now it was lots.........but he has been doing AMAZING without it....I really think that I miss it more than he does...haha Dalin & Taelin came home early Saturday morning around 200 am because Taelin was screaming and crying in his sleep.  He is teething really bad and Friday, Saturday, Sunday night all he did was scream and cry and clench his teeth together:( poor little guy! Felt so bad for him!!! (now whenever Taelin see's picture of him and his blanket he starts to get really sad and crys for it.....sorry little buddy).

gosh i love this picture!!!! Taelin looks so cute!!! First father and son campout!! :)

what a handsome boy!

Taelin loved playing in the sand

 Saturday it was nice outside so we played outside for a little bit. Taelin likes to ride his bike outside, and then gets tired of riding it, and starts to run....and then find some flowers or something, and wants to do that instead.  He is so funny.  That night we had a BBQ with our neighbors and another family that lives in our complex.  It was a lot of fun.  Taelin had fun playing with Olivia and Kyson.
We had a great week and are so happy that Daddy is home more:)

Taelin now LOVES to have story time with all of his stuffed animals! it's adorable! before bed time they say prayers with us and then he gives them kisses goodnight.  I love it!
