The Life & Adventures of the Taylor's

We are happy and excited to say that we have another member coming to our family in July of 2015. Things will be crazy, but we are sure excited. Luckily, I will be done with my ASN and hopefully pass the NCLEX and be a registered nurse. That is the plan. We don't know where we will be yet or where we are going for that matter. Hopefully, Brian will get a better idea soon and have a job lined up for next May. That is what we would like to see happen. Though it could very well change.  Brexdon does not quite understand the concept yet, but we are going to try to prepare him the best we can. He will be such a fun and silly Big brother. He is definitely growing and learning new things everyday. He has started spouting out words lately which is quite fun. Well that is our fun and happy news! :) 

This is not my typical posting but it has been on my mind lately. I love being a mother, but some days it is overly exhausting and completely frustrating. Lately my one year old has found it fun to throw everything especially food resulting in large messes. He also likes to throw his pacifier in sacrament meeting. True, he usually only does this when he is tired and cranky but we always have sacrament when he is tired and cranky. I LOVE my child with all my heart but at times, he truly frustrates me. I want to be patient with him and I do indeed try my hardest, but at times I forget (like any normal human being). Today, like most days, I was reminded of the reason why I wanted to be a mother in the first part. It is so rewarding to see your child grow, develop, and take hold of new concepts. I absolutely love having a front row seat to this wonderful creation I call my son. But today, I was doing the dishes while my son was in his high chair. I look over at him and he gave me the big...

I am proud to announce that I have officially made it half way through the nursing program. I am done with my finals and I am going to enjoy my well-deserved  week break. It is time to catch up on sleep, family fun, and enjoying my hubby. This past semester has been so busy and full of interesting stuff. This last week, Rexburg got a crazy flash flood. Luckily, it did not affect us, but it did get many others. That is such a rough thing and on top of that, it is finals week. And no, they were not cancelled even though the school got some flooding as well. It was amazing to me how quickly it got cleaned up from the school and streets at least. I know many apartment complexes and homes are still suffering from it. So many people came together to help one another. It was amazing and needed. It may not be fun, but in the end, everyone gained blessings. Many were serving others and many were being served. Such an amazing phenomenon. So aside from the flash flood, I got to see some p...

So life has been busy, crazy, hectic, fun and exciting. I am in the nursing program at BYU-Idaho and it is hard core and lots of work. But I really do enjoy it. I believe that it is what I am meant to do secondary to being a mother of course. Brexdon is 10 months old now and his birthday is practically around the corner. It is so hard to believe how fast he is growing up. So here is the update on the last 7 months of our life. haha. Brian graduated from BYU-Idaho in April (he will walk in July because he was in Boise during graduation). Brexdon started crawling a few months ago and will probably start walking on his own any day now. That is a scary thought. I survived my first semester of nursing and am half way through my second semester (which I will hopefully also survive). I got released from my substitute relief society teacher calling and got called into the nursery. Fun and new. Brexdon and I went to nursery for the first time this past Sunday and he absolutely loved it. He ...
