Stories of Taylor

Ok I have a couple of pretty funny stories about Taylor that I want to remember. This girl cracks me up!

Story #1

The other day I had a doctors appointment and decided I would take my girls with me. We are sitting in the waiting room reading some books (I have no idea what is on the TV). All of a sudden Taylor says "Mom why is that baby breaking out of that moms belly?" I look up and it's the baby story and it's right during a C-Section! Thoughts racing through my mind of what I'm going to say......"Just cuz" that's the best I could come up with. She had such a concerned look on her face. Next question "why is the baby all gross?" Umm being the great mom I am say "look it's all cleaned up and the baby looks cute." She didn't have enough time to ask any other questions the nurse called me back.

We are then sitting in our room and you all know how lovely the posters are on the walls. Well Taylor looks at me and asks "Mom whens the baby going to BREAK out of your belly?" I tell her not for a couple of months and she then says "but mom that will hurt." I say don't worry mom's tough. After that she really hasn't asked anything else. Lol. I'm just glad it was a C-section she saw and not the other way! So now she tells everyone "the baby is going to break out of mom's belly." Love it.

Story #2

This past weekend I went on a girls trip. A much needed vacation. A BIG thanks to Becca for planning it out! It was so much fun lots of shopping, good food, and massages (thanks to Nat for setting that one up.) Anyway back at home my mom had caught 3 HUGE grasshoppers for Taylor and sent her home with them. Later that night Sadie had the container and opened it up. Sadie then began to scream and freaking out. Taylor was yelling MY GRASSHOPPERS. Jeremy turns around to this chaos. He ends up catching the grasshoppers and throwing them outside. I get home and we ask her what dad said about the grasshoppers. Without skipping a beat she replies

"FREAKING grasshoppers. There going outside!" Oh man I just busted up laughing. She then goes on to say how dad threw her grasshoppers far far away. Moral of this story we have to start watching what we say around this kid!

Jeremy's 29th Birthday

Jeremy turned 29 today! One more year closer to 30. The girls LOVED doing stuff for his birthday. Let me give you an example of Jeremy's life with girls. Taylor and Sadie went and picked out a present and picked what to wrap it in. Taylor spotted a glitter barbie bag and had to get it. We went to the park today and the girls gave him their present. This is the following conversation between Jeremy and Taylor.

Jeremy: Why did you get me a barbie bag? I'm not a girl.
Taylor: You can pretend to be a girl dad.
Jeremy: Umm no.
Taylor: Dad all the boy bags were gone. They only had a barbie bag.
Jeremy: (laughing) Ok. Thanks Taylor.
The girls picked out his present and ended up getting him a little toy elk. That is what Taylor had to get him so he could share with her.

We went home and wrapped his other presents then Tay thought it would be fun to hide them from Jeremy. So when he got home he had to go find his presents. It wasn't too hard seeing how Taylor took him right to them.

Taylor and Sadie were quite the helpers with opening the gifts. And I had to blow up lots of balloons, Taylor kept telling me that I didn't have enough.

Blowing out the candles.

Jeremy is not much of a cake person so he gets apple pies on his birthday. He REALLY loves them as you can tell. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jeremy! We love you so much and couldn't ask for a better husband or dad.

Heise and Fishing

My work had a company party up at Heise the other day and it was so much fun. The girls loved swimming. I haven't taken them enough this year. Too busy and now summer is slowly coming to an end. Maybe I can take them 1 more time.
Me and my girls. Not the best picture of myself but hey it's memories right.

Jeremy and Taylor right before going down the slide. Taylor had to check to see if she was doing the peace thing right.Here they are coming out of the slide. Notice you don't see them. That's because they are under the water.
Coming out. Taylor wasn't too sure about the end part. She loved the rest of it though. After swimming we had a bbq with all my coworkers. Oh when we were leaving Heise Tay saw the games and noticed there was one that you could shoot animals. The whole time at dinner she just wanted to go and shoot the elk. Jeremy took her back and let her play the game. Taylor thought she did pretty good.
After dinner Jeremy took us fishing. Well he fished and the girls and I watched. It was fun watching him enjoy what he loves. He caught a bunch of fish. He was pretty excited to show us his skills. The girls wanted him to bring every fish up so they could see.
My two sweeties. While we were watching Taylor made up a fish song while Jeremy was fishing. It went something like this:

"Fishy don't you run away, daddy needs to fish you. Swim back swim back daddy can catch you swim swim"

It keeps going. She sat there and sang it over and over again. She likes to make up songs. Lol. Sadie played in the car the whole time trying to drink Jeremy's pop and start the car until Jeremy caught a fish then she wanted out to see it. It was nice to get away for a night as a family.

PRIVATE

I have gone back and forth on this issue for awhile now (hence me going from public to private back to public) but I was reading one of my friends blogs and this happened to one of her friends friend.

Click below and you might be surprised how REAL this is!

You have to be so careful with what you post now days. (Cat I hope you don't mind that I used this)

It just topped it off for me and I have decided to put my blog back to private and there it will stay. For the safety of my kids and family I think it's the only way to go.

I already have a lot of your email addresses from the last time but if you would like an invite leave me a comment with your email address or email me at nstucki@gmail.com.

Thanks!

More Reunions

We had quite the July. I can't believe its already gone. Between working, moving, and reunions we were really busy. First we had the Stucki Reunion. We were only able to make it up there for an afternoon but it was still a lot of fun.

Grandma and Grandpa Stucki had their annual saw dust hunt where the kids search for money and candy. The girls loved it.

Sadie with her goods and her dad jumping in the picture at the last second. Lol. It's always fun going up to the Stucki reunion and seeing everyone again. Lots of good food too.

This past weekend we went up to the Nield reunion up in Challis. It has been a long time since we have gone to this reunion. They were celebrating my grandpa Nield's 80th birthday. It was a lot of fun too. I haven't seen some of my cousins in like 10-15 years. Loved being able to catch up with some of them.

They had this man made slide that was a hit for the kids. Taylor went down with Hunter a bunch. That was fun watching them. Hunter was on that thing all day!

Here they are at the bottom.

And this has to be one of my favorite pictures ever. There was a pond where the kids could fish. Here is Taylor and Ridge checking out Taylor's fishing pole. These two were together the whole time. This will probably be the last time there is a Nield reunion like this so I'm glad we were able to be a part of it.

I'm looking forward to August and getting back into a normal routine. July flew by. Now we are settled in our new home (which is my old house that I grew up in) and getting unpacked slowly but surely. The girls are adjusting good and LOVE having grandma and grandpa right there plus their animals. We are so very lucky to have such great families and are grateful for all their help with everything this past month. We wouldn't have been able to do it without them.
