New Tooth!

Hey everyone! It's me Taylee. I wanted to let you know that I got my first tooth this week. Since I am the "little sister" I always like to point out what I do before my "older sister" Elle.

As you all know, we are very computer savvy and have been able to type for some time, but we also started saying our first words. Elle likes to say Ma Ma which makes my mom really happy, but really she just means that she wants food! That girl loves to eat! I decided I didn't want my dad to feel bad so my first word is Da Da. Well thats all for now. We are busy packing to move to our new house. We will update you on our new "crib" soon!

Love,

Taylee

Summer Update!

Hey Everyone,

Boy have we been busy! I guess it is time to let you know what we have been up to over the last month. Mom and dad thought that it was time that we started getting into shape, so we put on these cool pink running shoes and went out for a jog.

We had so much fun that we decided to run our first 10k on Pioneer Day (July 24). It was fun to go so fast! We got to run with our grandpa, mom, dad, and our cousin Alex.

We especially liked eating the bagels at the end of the race.

Next we decided to take up golf, so we headed to Mesquite to have a fun weekend of pool time, golfing, and bowling. We really liked swimming on the kick boards.

Don't worry, we didn't really ride in the basket!

We also got to spend a few weekends with Mama Jean and papa at the cabin in Alta, WY. We have had lots of rides in daddy's airplane. Good thing we are such good passengers!

Taylee Jean with Mama Jean!

Well we will try to do better keeping you updated on what we have been up to.

Love,

Elle & Taylee

Carrots

Well, I guess my mom didn't get it that I don't like carrots. I mean, the first time they seemed ok, and the next time I gagged...twice! So here she is trying to give me some nasty carrots again. I hope she finally gets it.

6 months old

Hey Everyone! Elle here. Can you believe the my sister and I are half a year old. Things sure have changed a lot since we were born and we sure enjoy exploring our surroundings.

Look at how much bigger we are compared to when we were first born.

Mom and Dad took Taylee and I to see Dr. Charlie last night. We really like him. He lets us play with his stethoscope and tongue depressors and even gave us a book to take home with us. He said we are doing really good and are growing just like we should be. My sister Taylee is a little bit bigger than me. She is 25 inches long and 14 lbs 10 oz. I am a little shorter and lighter (24 3/4 inches 14 lbs 5 oz) but not by much.

We really like trying new foods. Some of our favorites are sweet potatoes and bananas. We also really like to chew on baguettes.

Taylee finally taught me how to roll over and once I figured it out I rolled both ways in the same day. I finally convinced Taylee how much fun it is to stand up. We really feel like big girls when we are standing. We are also gettting really close to sitting up all by ourself. We can make it about 1 minute before we topple over.

Well we are off to take a nap so that we can have fun playing this afternoon.

Love,

Elle

Happy 4th of July

Hey Everyone, We hope you all had a good 4th of July. Elle and I got to fly up to Driggs to visit Mama Jean and Papa at the cabin. We had a good time, although we fell asleep before the fireworks. Maybe we will be able to stay awake next year. We had so much fun!

I'm not so sure how I feel about this grass touching my leg!

Thanks for letting us come and visit!

Love,

Taylee

Our Big Adventure

Hey everyone,

Taylee and I just got back from our latest big adventure. Daddy decided that it would be fun to fly our airplane all the way from Salt Lake City to Florida. Our mommy wasn't so sure how that was going to be. We are talking 10 hours each way in the plane.

You know that Taylee and I are always up for some fun so we thought we would give it a try. We had to do a lot to get ready for the flight. We got our own set of headphones so that the noise didn't hurt our ears. Our dad had to figure out how to make our car seats work so that we could sit looking forward and we even took a test flight around town to make sure we were going to do all right. So after all our "flight training" we were off to see some of our family at the beach in Florida. It took us 2 days to get there and we did great. Our mommy sure was glad to be on the ground when we landed in Gainesville. We are not sure what the big deal was because we slept through the whole deal, but we got soaked getting out of the plane. The picture of the weather on the radar screen sure looks pretty.

We got to spend the day with Mama Jean and Pa Pa before we drove to the beach. Once we got there, we got to meet up some of our aunts and uncles and lots of cousins. We had so much fun.

We can hardly wait until next year!

Love,

Elle

New Stuff!

Hi Guys!

This has been a big week for us. We have had fun trying a lot of new stuff. First we got to try eating some cereal this week and even some watermelon. It sure was good. I even decided that it would be fun to try to feed myself.

We went to our first outdoor concert on Sunday night. We were so excited when our dad told us that we were going that we decided not to take a nap all day long. We fell asleep on the way to the concert but woke up as soon as we got there and stayed awake the whole time. We really love to listen to music, especially when our dad plays his guitar for us.

My sister Taylee learned to roll over for the first time last week. I really didn't want to show off, so I haven't rolled yet. I would much rather stand all day long than to roll around on the floor.

Lots of love,

Elle
