MOVING OUT AND MOVING IN

We have a lot of STUFF! And if you don't believe it, I will show you the invoice from the movers that came last week. They actually labeled a lot of our box contents as "stuff" and rightfully so.
Last to go in, after the "stuff" were the bikes. Yup, we could take sort of whatever we wanted up to a weight limit...and we are crossing our fingers that we did not have too much! Sadly, our house does not look like we even took anything out of it...in fact, it looks better! Yes, this says that we had TOO MUCH STUFF! But we have been living out of suitcases for a week now and we are surviving just fine.
The great thing about moving things out was that now we had room to MOVE THINGS IN...important things like BABY CRIBS! For FHE last week we put together baby ??? crib in the new and improved preschool room.
Laura had chosen the cutest fabric for her baby quilt and curtain and dust ruffle and now it looks like a really cute room. We will have them post pictures once they get their boxes put away and have it looking like they want. We are so grateful to them for coming into our house to care for it and be there for Breanna so she does not have to be alone! We can't wait for this sweet baby to join our family and are so glad she will have this sweet room to call home.

SET APART TO SERVE!

Wow! Here we go! June 14 we were set apart by President Boyd K. Packer and Elder Costa of the Seventy. They were personable and encouraging. President Packer has background in the Park Valley/ Grouse Creek/ Almo/ Malta area so there were some fun conversations and memories of that area. He shared with us his experience of helping with one of the presidential elections in that area where they actually used HOMING PIDGEONS to send in the poll results from these little ranch towns! It was a wonderful experience to meet with these faithful men.
The Taylor family headed to Phoenix!

Thanks to Austin for being our photographer...and for all the family for coming with us and for your support over the years! WE LOVE YOU!

Birthday for Scottie!

Does this photo tell you what we did for Scott's birthday! Yes, we ATE A TON of homemade Cafe Rio pork dinner salads! YUM!I love this photo that Austin took I think...or Laura? But I love it.
We had an intimate dinner and present opening and game night and then dessert...Yup, it is great to get old when you have family to celebrate with! We invite you all to come to Phoenix next June 13 to celebrate with us! We will take earlier or later visits as well...it will all seem like a party!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!
