Memories...
My friend Heather was doing this on her blog and it looks like fun.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together, anything you remember! (Or a memory you have of Levi)
2. Leave these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

The Grand Canyon!
So Tayton was getting so bored and it was so hot here, I told Levi we needed to go camping. We live a couple of hours away from the Grand Canyon and we have wanted to go and see it since we moved here so we finally went! We left last Monday and drove up on Route 66. It was so fun to see all the little small towns along the way. Tayton was looking for Lightning McQueen and Mater Mater. He found an old rusty truck and said look mom it's Mater Mater. It was so much fun.
We camped overnight on Monday and on Tuesday we saw the Grand Canyon. It was gorgeous. I am so glad we went. It made me want to go white water rafting so bad. It was about 90 degrees during the day and everyone kept asking my how come I had my baby out in this hot weather. I just had to tell everyone we came from Laughlin and I am serious when we left the temperature was 122. 90 seems pretty good compared to 122. It was so fun to be outside the entire day. Tayton had a blast and it was just what he and I needed. The Grand Canyon was so beautiful. None of us had every been there. I just wish we had a little more time there. I wanted to hike down but it is a ways down there and you can't do it in one day. And also I don't think Tanna is up for hiking that far just yet, but one day I will return back to the Grand Canyon and go hiking and see the gorgeous waterfalls. Here are some pictures of our adventures.
I am the cutest boy ever:)
Mom and Tayton at the Grand Canyon, I am looking so good, but remember we were camping the night before.
I love climbing on rocks or anything dangerous for that matter. My mom loves it!
Tayton found a friendly squirrel who liked to eat out of your hands. A ton of people kept feeding it and Tayton just loved it. The squirrel is hiding in the shadows in this picture.
Tanna's first camping trip, big brother making sure she is ok
My gorgeous hubby setting up our new tent!
Dad and Tanna next too this cowboy guy. Notice Tayton is not in the picture, he said the cowboy was too scary.
Here we are on Route 66. This is in Williams, AZ. I love going to new places I have never been before, so much fun.
4th of July!
We had a great 4th of July, it was so fun. (Except Levi) Levi had to work like a mad man the entire weekend. He would leave around 9:00 a.m. and he didn't come home until midnight. They had a lot of crazy people on the Colorado River and he had to patrol during the fireworks and they had fireworks on Friday and Saturday night. He was so exhausted but I am glad he has had a couple of days off to recover. Tanna, me and Tayton went our friends house for a bbq and then watched fireworks that night. I missed the Perry parade though. What is the 4th of July without the Perry parade. It was too hot here to do anything during the day, I think it was about 115. Anyway here are just a few pictures of our bbq that night.
Tayton just hanging out with his friend Katilynn.
Our friend Sandy made cupcakes and they had the frosting all over their faces.
Tanna just getting ready to leave to watch the fireworks. She didn't know what to think of them. She didn't like them but she didn't hate them either. She was a little startled with the loud noises at first but she got over it. Anyway happy 4th of July everyone!

I've been tagged
How To Play This Game of Tag: Post these rules on your blog. List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, & 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog!
3 JOYS-
1. Levi. I seriously do not know what I would do without him. He is such a great husband and father and he just makes me feel so loved. He never has said anything hurtful to me, even when he is mad at me. I just love him so much and he is my greatest joy.
2. Tayton and Tanna! I love love love being a mom. Tayton is a lot of hard work but he is so much fun. Right about the time when I have had enough and I am about ready to strangle him, he comes over to me and gives me a big hug and kiss and tells me how much he loves me. He is always making me laugh and he is so fun. Tanna is straight from Heaven. She is the best baby ever and all I have to do is look at her and I want to cry. She loves to cuddle and she is the sweetest thing in the world.
3. Being in the mountains. I never really realized how much I miss the mountains until I moved to Henderson and Laughlin. They have mountains here but there is nothing on them. I miss the Northern Utah and Idaho mountains with rivers, lakes, and gorgeous trees.
3 FEARS-
1. That Levi is going to die at work. I don't know is anyone else is like this but if Levi is ever late, I get the worst thoughts in my head. I think about what my life would be like without Levi and then I go crazy. It probably doesn't help that he is a police officer and deals with a bunch of drunken idiots all the time. I am just really scared that one day I am going to get a call saying he was killed on the job and I am going to have to raise our kids alone. I don't know what I would ever do if I lost him.
2. That Tayton is going to get hit by a car. Ever since the time Tayton learned to walk he has been running off. I don't know how many times I have disciplined him but he still doesn't get it. He seriously just runs out in the middle of the street. We have taught him how to look both ways for cars but even when he looks he is running in the street. I just don't know what to do with this boy of ours.
3. I am totally scared of scorpions and black widows right now. We have tons of black widows around our town house and last year Levi found a scorpion in our apartment. I am just afraid they will get into our house and hurt me or my kids.
3 GOALS-
1. Buy a home- I am really glad we didn't buy a house here in Laughlin (sorry to anyone that lives here) but I don't want to stay here forever. I really just want to find a spot that Levi and I both love and buy a house and stop moving around.
2. Exercise- Now that I am not pregnant anymore I really want to start exercising again. It is too hot to do anything outside here so hopefully I can find a fun way to exercise.
3. Become a better person- I want to do a lot of things better. I want to be a better mom and wife. I want to be better with finances and I want to become more spiritual. It will always be something to work on.
3 CURRENT OBSESSIONS/COLLECTIONS
1. Hair bows - My friend Shannon taught me how to make hair bows. I am a bit obsessed with it right now, I am making bows for every outfit. I just don't make them as good as Shannon.
2. Food Storage- My parents are really big into food storage and they have been helping us get motivated to get our own. Last year we had maybe 2 or 3 cans of food storage. I think we know have our year supply but I am always buying extra at the grocery store.
3. Baby girl clothes- I guess I have been collecting clothes for Tanna. I have been buying a ton of clothes. I try not to spend too much money. I always shop the clearance sections and she now has a ton of clothes for the entire year. I love to find bargains, like her winter coat. It was originally $45.00 and I bought it for $6.50.
3 RANDOM FACTS
1. My left thumb is shorter than my right.
2. I have had 4 surgeries, 2 broken bones, and I lost count on how many times I have had stitches. No Levi does not beat me, I just get hurt a lot.
3. Levi has a sexy booty!
I tag, Katie, Candice, Shauna, Andi, and Emily ( I think you all should do it!!)

Tayton's Gold Medal!
Things are going great. I am adjusting to life with two kids. So far it has gone really good, much better then I ever thought it would. Tanna is such a great baby. She sleeps good, and she hardly ever cries. I am so happy she came to join our family. Really I couldn't have asked for a better baby, I am so in love with her. I am still really proud of Tayton, he just loves her to pieces and is very protective of her. It is fun to see him around her.
Our library here is pretty fun, they are always doing fun contests and things for kids. Tayton has been such a good reader that he earned a gold medal! Tayton was so excited, he loves it. He was so proud of himself. Here he is showing off his medal.
Tayton wanted to share his medal with baby Tanna. He put it on her to make her happy. This is just one of the little things he does that just melts my heart. He is so cute with her. Tanna thought it was great too.
He just loves kissing her, and she loves Tayton too.
Another picture of our beautiful girl.
Everyone keeps asking about Tanna's hair and where it came from. To tell you the truth I don't know where that much came from. Tayton had dark hair but it wasn't as long or as thick. Here is a picture of Tayton 2 days old. It is the best one I could find of his hair.
Here is a picture of Tayton around three months old. Notice how much lighter his hair is. I am guessing that Tanna's dark hair will fall out in a couple of months and she will be a blondie just like her big brother. Me and Levi were both born with dark hair and we both went really blonde. It will be fun to see if I am right.
