why do kids always seem to get sick when you need them MOST not to be?!? tay woke up today (actually never fully fell asleep last night) with a nice high fever and a yucky cold. steve and i have been planning our "sans kids" getaway to st george for 2 weeks now. we sure hope taylor starts feeling better soon or i guess he'll be coming with us...he is absolutely miserable and super clingy today!

it's amazing that after an entire year i still think that my taylor is the cutest baby in the world--sorry everyone else! we went and got his 1 year old pictures taken this afternoon and i can't wait to post them--here's a little preview of how cute he looked today. steve's ready for him to get his mullet curls cut off--i am still holding out! doesn't every mom agree with me?

Those January Blues


Oh Yuck! Ugly snow, frigid temperatures, back to work, and a Monday to boot! It was pretty rough getting the kids up for school this morning. Usually they get up with their alarm clocks, but today I had to knock on everybody's door. They've been having super late nights and sleeping in as long as they've wanted to for the past 2 weeks. It feels this way every January, doesn't it? Blah!!!
