Prayers needed- again

Okay, I know I ask for everyone's prayers a lot, but that's what family's for right?!
We just found out today that our renters that we had in our house in Boise bailed out on us. They used the money that they were supposed to be paying us to pay for their new place. The really bad part is that we talked to them on Sunday and they promised us that they'd have the money to our friends who have been our "landlords" by today, knowing full well that they were leaving and that the money was gone! So now we're stuck with a mortgage payment and our own rent payment. Matt can't take enough time off from work to take legal action on them. All we can do is to call the credit place and report them. Matt's going to go (probably with Anthony and Michael) to Boise tomorrow- Monday to clean the house up and get it back on the market. We HAVE to sell it and sell it FAST! We need your prayers that we'll be able to do this! We don't know what we're going to do if we can't sell it!
Thanks for your love, support and prayers!

Finally Cassy graduation pictures

In Memory

I just got back from the cemetery where Grandma LaDean is buried. Being there got me thinking about all of those who have gone before us. It also got me thinking- am I living my life so that they'd be proud of me? So on this Memorial Day I'd like to challenge each of us to examine our lives and make any changes we need to so that our family and friends who are already on the other side will be proud of us and so that our family truly can be together forever! To those waiting beyond the veil- we love you and miss you!

Kids Poetry Blog

Hey, I was wondering if anybody would be interested in making a kids literature blog. We could post stories, poems, or any other kind of thing related. It would be a great thing to have over the summer and I know Paul and I really like reading and writing good poems. Adults could do it too, I just think it would be more fun for kids. I might just start one for Paul and I anyways to post all the poems we've already wriitten but I just wanted to see if anyone else would be interested.

Visit to Grandpa Taylor

Last weekend we went on a little road trip to visit Grandparents in Idaho.  We went to Jerome to see Todd's grandpa, then to Blackfoot to see Grandpa Taylor.  We finished in Rexburg to visit my Grandma Haroldsen.  

In Blackfoot, Uncle Ray was there, and showed us the horses.  Emily had never seen horses up close before, but she seemed to enjoy them.  Uncle Ray put her up on one for a minute.  

I also got a picture of Grandpa Taylor next to one.  

Next, Aunt Joyce showed us the new kittens, and Emily didn't want to let it go.  She would have held it the entire way back to Salt Lake, if we had let her.  Ryan was just along for the ride. Next year he'll be more interested in horses and kittens.

Thanks to Aunt Joyce, Uncle Ray and also Aunt Betty, who was also there and made us lunch.  We had a great time.  The entire way home Emily pointed out the window and said "Horse", but usually they were cows instead.

CRAZY!

Happy Birthday to Ryan today! I can't believe he's 8! It seems so strange! He's had a great Birthday so far! He had a party last night and gets to have his favorite Tuna Noodle Casserole for dinner tonight! Plus he got an awesome NERF gun so he's thrilled! It's nice to have a kid that's easy to please even if he's making me feel OLD!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Chris Snyder today and to Ryan Nelson tomorrow.

Taylor reunion

Hi,
We are working on places to hold the reunion next year. We are thinking about doing it somwehere between the 4t and 24th of July in Utah somewhere on a Friday and Saturday. We have some ideas but would like to have some input. We are thinking of a place we can all camp but know some don't have camping equipment. If it was closeby, motels could be reserved for nighttime for those who don't have tents. Let me know if that is a good week. I know I can't please everyone but am just throwing out some ideas.

Pinewood Derby 2009

We had another good year for our cars in the Pinewood Derby! They had two sets of races. The first set was just for the Cub Scouts. This was Anthony's last year as a Cub and Ryan's first year. Anthony took 1st and Ryan took 2nd!!!!!! Then they had a race that anyone could join. Anthony got 2nd in that one! Michael didn't get anything, but he had fun! Anthony called his car "The Shadow", Ryan's car was "The Green Thing", and Michael's was "Cobra"! They all had a good time!

Michael

The top picture is of Michael on the day he got ordained as a Deacon. The bottom one if of Michael in his Toga for the Greek Festival that they had for the 6th Grade. He chose a purple toga because it's a royal color. I haven't posted pictures of my boys for a while so I thought I'd share!

It's Birthday time!

Happy Birthday to Austin D.!!!! Have an Awesome day!

Cassy went to prom
