A collage of events and holidays the past two months!

-

So I'll begin by saying please scroll all the way down and read the next post after this to understand why when the Christmas photos come up there aren't as many...due to my fun week of healing from the kidney stone! So I'll explain each photo as you go...a lot happened in November and December.





So here's Dad Taylor...David...or as the kids call him Grampy...we were blessed to come down to see him baptise our niece and nephew and we didn't know he was preaching too!! It was great.



Here's sweet Charles getting baptised. He's 8!



and here's Cora and she's 6!


Here's the entire Taylor family...to think they only have two sons...and six grandkids...we may not be done either!


Here's our week in Vail, CO for Thanksgiving...me and the kiddos went up early to spend time with Grandpa Bob and Grandma




And a great great surprise was my bro Nate and my beautiful sister'n'law Mary came up for a night.

And of course...Mary and I and our coffee!
I love this photo...both look a bit confused! Here's Rachel's sweater and hat Grandma made for her last year...finally fits!



So...Malachi took on pushing Rachel all over Vail village...he loved it!
And Grandma and Nanny...this is my mom and Aaron's mum...his folks came up to Vail for the week then to our house for two more weeks. It was awesome!
And our shoe girl loves to put on anyones shoes...especially boots!I think it's gotten pretty common for people to take photos of my little kiddos potty training...because we start them so young...Malachi was nine months and Rachel was five months...it works!And our last day we got a great visit from my close high school friend, Ben and his gorgeous wife Amanda who live in Washington.Who wouldn't want to make out in that beautiful romantic downtown Lionshead. It was awesome...we should've left the kids and actually had a date.
CHRISTmas time!!!!!

So here's some of Aaron's staff....Roger was missing and then two of these are gone now and he has of course two more men he's hired since...Mike and Rick...so it's changing a bit now but we had a great CHRISTmas party!

Who doesn't love a snowman....well Nanny and Grampy and Mommy did most of it but the kids enjoyed it.

We had many, many many shots to get our CHRISTmas card photo...I just think it's comical to do with two toddlers.

And Malachi enjoyed his great train table and train set Nanny and Grampy got him for his birthday!

She really thinks she can walk down the stairs!

And she LOVES goggles! So funny...little noodle.

Our bruiser...have no idea how she did this one but it looked terrible.

Can't resist our sweet niece, Avery, loves to be nudy and her big booty is so cute!This is my only photo from CHRISTmas eve...I was a bit out of it...Fun gifts...even Thomas underwear!!And a purse with a fake cell phone!! Of course she knew exactly what to do.and of course more fun gifts over at Auntie Rachels with Grandma and Grandpa Bob.Then my oldest sis, Tiff and her hubby Rob came with the three boys...didn't get a photo of Jeremiah but here's Payton and Reece and Malachi...Reece is a ladies man...for sureAnd man they are boys...my kids were a bit scared of the wrestling and strange sounds they made...but it was a great holiday week.

Moving to California, our Journey from 2 viewpoints.

-
     So we are moving to San Diego California!  We are going to be attending a Christian Discipleship school called IMPACT 195 (i195.org).  The goal of this school is to grow people in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can impact the world for God's kingdom during these 12 months and afterwards for the rest of their lives.  Please go online and check it out if you are interested in seeing what we are going to be up to!      Since we have made the decision to go to San Diego, time has gone by so quickly, so here is the back story from Aaron's perspective.  I have worked now for Furniture Row for almost 10 years!  I have also been married for 10 years!  So needless to say, I started with Furniture Row 3 months after we got married back in 2003.  As most of you know, we have moved from Colorado to Montana to Indiana to Michigan and then back to Colorado!  It has gone by quickly and we have had ...

J.A.M. you got to got to JAM!

This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook. All three of us...well I should say four because my sister is amazing too....cook different in many ways but the same in others. It is just the joy of creating. For me I find so much joy in finding new tastes and beautiful dishes. I also find joy in old fashioned cookin. This one all started when we had moved to Indianapolis. It was the first time ever I didn't have a job. I was 7 months pregnant in a new town/state and didn't know anyone. As many of you know I rarely can sit still. I need to be productive.....and this came to mind. Why not create delicious jellies and jams.. Not only is it super cost effective. It is a fun gift to give and a great way to make healthier options for my kiddos. So...can away. Here is this summers first bunch...and I am sure there will be...

Caleb Anthony Taylor

Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i...
