Girls trip

One of Taylor's sweetest little friends got baptized a couple weekends ago, which gave me and Tay a good reason to have some girl time. Just the two of us flew up to Utah for the weekend. We had a great time.

Taylor hadn't flown on a plane since she was about 3 or 4 and so this was all pretty much new to her. She asked so many questions about the plane, how does it fly, What is that for, What is this for? etc. etc. and was so excited that they brought us drinks and a snack. Why can't we all be more excited about the simple things in life? She ordered hot chocolate on the way there and on the way back. She loved when the plane took off and had to have a window seat both ways.

So glad to have this little one in my life. Our first night in Utah. Just the two of us. Hanging out at my dads and getting settled.

These 3 sweet girls have know each other since they were about a year old. I remember the first time we all met. It was at Tay's friend, Paige's house to make valentines for our dads. It was 4 moms and 4 baby girls. We were all first time moms and we have all shared many firsts over the years. I still can't believe these girls are old enough to be baptized! Before we know it we will be planning their weddings. Did I really just say that?? Ahhh!

Girlfriends. I remembered to get a picture of me with some friends. So much fun!

It really was a wonderful weekend filled with good times, laughs, food, family, and fun. We went to church at our old ward that Sunday and felt right at home. It was so wonderful to see so many people who I haven't seen in what felt like forever and love dearly. In Relief Society the closing song that day was "Til We Meet Again." Got me all emotional. Yes, for those of you who don't know I am a sentimental fool!

On our last night there at my dad's we watched Despicable me. My brother B, sisters Whitney and Kasey and my dad and Maryan were there. William and Abby too. We stayed up talking and playing pool. It was a great finale to our fabulous girls weekend. I look forward to many more just like this one. So good to spend one on one time with Tay. She really is so beautiful inside and out. She is always thinking of others, and goes out of her to make sure everyone feels loved and welcomed. She loves to help and without being asked to will help when she sees a need. Her school teacher this year has noticed this about her too and has said many times what a joy she is to have around. Our sweet little Taylor makes me want to be a better person and mom, because she totally deserves the best! (Obviously B and Taylor were more into the movie than this picture.)
