Weekend in SLC

This weekend Kiley and I went to Salt Lake City to visit Vic, Stephanie, Lisa and Gus. Kiley had a blast like always. She loves her grandpa and grandma.

Kiley loved playing outside and feeding the fish. Uncle Gus helped her clean out the pond.





Sunday morning, Stephanie and Vic took Kiley to church while I went with Melissa, Mark, Ashton, Teri and James to see Dad's new cabin in Heber, UT. We all like it a lot. Melissa has a weird idea about the downstairs bedroom/bathroom. She calls it "the Glodowski room" Not sure where she got the idea because when i talked to dad, he said that he got the house because he thought the downstairs bedroom/bath would be a perfect room for me, shawn, kiley, hank and darla.

Melissa and Teri made Kiley a tutu. She was unsure about it at first, but once I put it on her, she had a ton of fun. She was dancing and twirling!



We spent most of Sunday night hanging out. Gus was determined to make kiley love him. He was so good with her. She thought he was so funny.



Wish we could have stayed longer. Weekend trips just seem to go by so quickly. We are hoping to have some visitors in California in a couple months (hint hint Lisa, Leila and Stephanie)

Funny Stuff

So, when Shawn is really tired and laying in bed trying to fall asleep, he sometimes says things that make no sense. He's 1/2 asleep and talking at the same time. After a while, I decided it might be funny to write down the things he says.

These are my favorite "Shawn" quotes from the past month.

"I miss my 'best of both worlds' hat. It was so pretty in all its bedazzled gloriousness."

"Hunny, butlers don't just build bridges on their own, we have to pay for stuff like that"

Someday, Im gonna be knighted by the queen of England. It's gonna be a happy day"

Taylor Family Reunion

This weekend was the annual Taylor Family Reunion Camping Trip. This year the camping trip was at Cedar Mountain in Utah. We really liked the location mostly because its only an 8 hour drive for us!

Kiley had such a good time, but I think the excitement of camping and 4-wheelers made her a bit cranky sometimes. She didn't really want to do anything else except ride the 4-wheelers or play on the 4-wheelers.

I think Kiley's favorite part of the trip was being with her grandpa and grandma. She LOVED playing with them this weekend and Shawn and I really enjoyed having some down time. THANKS STEPHANIE AND VIC!!!


Grandma Neener, Grandpa Vic and Kiley

It was DIRTY and DUSTY there. Kiley just could NOT stay clean. She went through every outfit I packed for her.

Auntie Lisa, Leila and Kiley

Oh yeah, and Shawn won some sort of contest.

4th of July

Shawn Kiley and I went to Kanab UT for the 4th of July. It was Grandma Fleckner's family reunion. Melissa, Ryan, Mr. Ashton, Mom and Dad were all there. It was really great to see everyone, but we wished Joe, Mark, Teri and James could have been there too.

We spent a lot of time hanging outside of Great-Aunt Zelma's house. Kiley and Ashton had so much fun playing outside.

We went to the Kanab parade in the morning.

Mom rode in a corvette in the parade. No one really knows why. Weird.

Kiley enjoying her candy that she collected from the parade. She never ate any of it, but she loved putting the candy in her bag and taking it out and then putting it back in her bag.

Kiley getting ready to leave the hotel. She looks so happy because she had no idea what was in store for her....an 11 hour car ride home. Ridiculous.

Father's Day Weekend

Shawn had to work on Father's day from 12pm - 5pm, so we decided to celebrate a little bit on Saturday by going to the Wild Animal Park together. Kiley had such a good time. She really loved the gorillas AND since she's learning how to say the word Gorilla it was perfect. The funny thing is, she called the gorillas "Darla". I guess the gorillas reminded her of our bull mastiff Darla!

Sunday (Father's Day), Kiley and I got up around 7:30 and made breakfast for Shawn. Actually, I made breakfast and Kiley just sat there eating a banana. Shawn asked for French Toast. So, he got French Toast, Sausage and Cinnamon rolls.

Shawn watched sports on his new 40inch TV all morning and then went to work. After work he met me over at my mom and dad's for the Father's Day Party. Shawn is the such an amazing dad. Kiley and I are so lucky to have him.

Home Improvement

We finally cleaned out our front planter and it looks great! We forgot to take BEFORE pictures, but i found a picture online from google.maps. Plus, look how much greener our grass looks now.
