Taylor Reunion

This weekend we went up to Cedar Mountain to the Taylor Reunion. It was so much fun! Cody, Jordyn and I got up there Friday about Noon. When we left Logandale at 8:30 it was 98 degrees. When we got up to the mountain, it was about 78! Amazing!!
Throughout the weekend, we rode Four Wheelers and just sat and visited with everyone! Jordyn of course loves the four wheelers. She even got to drive one (not alone)!

Cody and I went on a 4 hour four wheeler trip. We got pretty dirty! This is only about an hour in! When Amberlee got back to camp, she went in where Jordyn was. Jordyn took one look at her and screamed. Our faces were completely black! It was alot of fun though.

Saturday night we had a big dinner of Dutch oven Roast, potatoes, the Works! I heard someone say that they counted 26 people at dinner! I think the only person who wasn't there this year was Troy. He had just gotten back from London and needed to get back into Law School mode! We'll forgive him this time!
I have to say I have the greatest family ever! You don't hear of too many families getting together anymore and having as much fun as we do. Our family is really close and it's great to be able to see everyone's families grow!



It was great to get out of the heat and enjoy the "COOL" mountain air! Yes, we even had a little rain!

4th of July 2009

This past weekend was sooo much fun! We started it off by going up to St. George on Friday to get out of our small town and do a little shopping. We had lunch with Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Vic, Shawn, Michelle and Kiley at Pizza Factory. All the other Family members were on Cedar Mountain.
On Saturday, Cody, Jordyn and I went to Mesquite to the Casablanca Pool Party. Jordyn went down the slide about a million times. Each time was just as exciting as the first time. She's getting to be quite natural in the pool. As long as she has her life jacket on, she's good to go! We were there for about 2 1/2 hours. I think Jordyn could have kept going all day long if we had let her!
Later that evening we went over to Danie'l and Chad's home and had a great BBQ with family and friends. Jordyn met a friend there named "Gabby". They were just running through the house. Inside and outside. We finally talked her into going with us to the fireworks at the park. We got there at 9:20, the fireworks started at 9:30! We cut it a little too close! The Fireworks were short and sweet, but Jordyn thought they were neat. She kept saying" How come they keep coming toward me?!" She was quite entertained!
Yesterday, we hit the Casablanca Pool again! Jordyn got to the point yesterday that she would jump off the side of the pool and not want us to catch her. She went and stood in line for the slide all by herself, and didn't want us to catch her at the bottom anymore! I guess the next step is going to be finding swimming lessons for her while she's not afraid of the water!
All in all it was great weekend! Fun times, good food and great company!
