More of Taylie's Funny Stories!!

So the other day, we put Taylie in her high chair and gave her a bowl of Ramon Noodles. After a few min of her being in the kitchen "eating" her noodles, she says " I'm done". Mike and I being suprised that she ate them so quickly, Mike asks if they are on the floor. Taylie being the honest child that she is says "yes" so we walk into the kitchen and there are noodles all over the floor. So we get her cleaned up and make her start cleaning up the noodles. For the first few min she cleaned up fairly well, but when she got about half done, she looks down at the remainder of the noodles and says "I'll just go to timeout, K mom" and she started walking toward her room! Mike and I were laughing so hard that we couldn't get upset at her, we just laughed and told her no timeout, you have to clean up all your noodles! She is the smartest two year old I have ever met. We love her so much, her fun personality adds so much to our home :)

Another funny story with our Taylie, She burped the other day and said "Excuse me, I farted in my mouth!" Where she comes up with some of these things we will never know :)

The Appendectomy of all Appendectomies

Well, I am laying in my hospital bed with nothing to do, so I figured I would put my story on our blog! :) Wednsday at about noon I had a sandwhich with expired lunch meat (not a good idea). At about 4 my stomach started feeling weird. At about 5:30 it started hurting. I had a paper due the next day and a final, so I was a little bit stressed about being sick at the wrong time. My stomache hurt until about 9:30 and my dad and Scott Fife came up to give me a blessing. I had been trying to throw up or do anything to get whatever was in my stomache out. I had little success, but about 5 min after my blessing I finally puked (I know, Hurray!!!!!). My stomache (organ) quit hurting, but my lower gut was still being rambunctious. Well the next day I woke up and my stomache still hurt. In my blessing my dad said that I would be able to get my paper done and take my final, so I went ahead and made plans to do that. (I got an A in the class) Steph and I made plans to go to Instacare right after my final and they took my blood. They said that since my stomache was hurting where it was and my white blood cell count was high they figured I had appendicitus and sent me over to Logan Regional to have a CT Scan. After speaking with the stupid billing people over the scan (I guess I needed to actually have my appendix rupture before they would just let me in) I finally was able to go get my CT Scan. They said I would feel like I was peeing my pants when they put the x-ray dye in, but it just made my butt feel like it was on fire. They determined my appendix was sick and I needed an operation. I finally had my operation and I guess my appendix did rupture, but my body somehow sealed it so the infection didn't leak out. As soon as my white blood cell count goes down then I can go home! I will scan in the pictures of my surgery since I think I will have a lot of free time for awhile :) That will be up when I get home.



As you can see here the color of my appendix was not very good.

Some of Taylie's Funny Stories!

So I have a few funny stories about Taylie that I wanted to post so that I have them written down somewhere and won't forget them. The first one happened a couple weeks ago at church. Mike's friend is in our ward and he has kind of longer hair and a beard, he fell away from the church for a while and is trying to get his life back in order. Anway, he got up in sacrament to bare his testimony. It was really a good testimony and of course everyone is really quiet. Taylie stands up and yells "Look mom there's Jesus!" It was so loud and everyone around us is trying really hard not to bust up laughing. Greg and Charise were there visiting and all of us were trying really hard not to start laughing while I tried to explain to her that he wasn't Jesus. Then for the closing prayer (on the same day) an older lady got up and started saying the prayer and Taylie says "There's Grandma Lamb!" Once again really loud. I am afraid at this point we all lost it and busted up laughing :)

The second story just happened the other day. Taylie has been on this "just kidding kick, thanks to cousin Kaden! She kept bringing her chair out of her room after mom and dad asked her not to several times. She brought it out and I told her that she needed to go put it back in her room. She said "no mom I going to sit on it" So I told her she had to a count of 3 or she was going to time out. I started counting and when I said 2 she said "I just kidding I putting it back!" and hurried to put her chair back in her room. It was really funny and cute and of course I couldn't get mad at her. And now she says just kidding after almost everything!

Our New Church Calling

So Mike and I got called to be Primary teachers!! We are teaching the CTR 5 class. Today was our first experience in teaching and lets just say it wasn't pretty!! We have 3 boys and 2 girls that come on a regular basis. The whole primary pretty much warned us about one of the boys, and we understand why! He is a handful and eventually gets the other 2 boys into it as well. The girls are both pretty good. We're excited about our calling and will at least learn some patience from this experience!!

Halloween Goodness!!!

Halloween sure was a fun time. Taylie was the cutest skunk! In all actually she looked more like an Ewok with a huge tail.




I was a.......well, something with a greeen face, a sword on my back and a staff. We will call it a sad wizard ( ;) at Cami). Steph didn't dress up this year even after the pregnant nun suggestions. There were a few things that we didn't have a chance to take pictures of from trick or treating. We took a wagon with us to pull Taylie and Tate in, and Tate decided that he would pull the wagon with Taylie in it. It was pretty darn cute. At one point I put Taylie in the front of the wagon and forgot about her tail. She ended up laying down in the wagon because she didn't have the balance to keep sitting up. She was laying there and looked like she was thinking, "Ummmm, is anyone going to get me up?" You probably had to be there, but try to use your imagination. Then there was the time Taylie face planted it, she kept telling EVERYBODY she was a skunk, and even told a lady not to step on her tail. After she got over my mask, she was still my little buddy.

Were having another girl!!

So we had our ultrasound today, and though she was not 100% sure due to the fact that the baby did not want to cooperate she is 95% sure were having another girl!! Were not set on a name yet but so far we are leaning towards Lindsay Marie Balls. Due date around March 6th! The picture at the top is suppose to be pointing to the fact that its a girl!!! AKA: Lack of something important if it were a boy!

Smithfield Canyon Picture Extravaganza

Last Saturday me and Steph, Greg, Charise, Steve, and Dad went up Smithfield Canyon.
Here are some pictures we (Me, Steve, and Dad) took. Enjoy!

Joanie Candy

We decided to get some Sourpatch Kids for Taylie so she will be good in sacrament meeting. They work very well by the way. I think it would definitely be difficult to focus on anything when your cheeks suck in and your eyes squint. For some reason this never happens to Taylie. Anyways, today Taylie asked Steph for some Joanie candy (aka Sour Patch Kids). When Kim and Joanie were here Joanie had Sourpatch Kids and Taylie loved them. So, from now on Sourpatch Kids have taken on the name Joanie candy. Thanks Joanie for the memories. :)

The Computer Guru and The Cowgirl

Mike was born and raised in Hyde Park Ut. He loves playing his guitar, working on computers, and playing video games. He had never ridden a horse until he met me! I was born and raised in Lyman WY. I love being outside with my horses and grew up a cowgirl. I moved to Hyde Park UT with my sister in June 2004. Mike and I met in the Hyde Park singles ward in Febuary of 2005. We both have a slighly different story about the first time we "noticed" eachother! Mike says it was when we were at FHE playing volleyball and I beat him and he thought to himself "Wow, she can really play volleyball! And she's pretty cute!" My story is when some other girl some how conviced mike to go country swing dancing (which if you know Mike, that is a big accomplishment!) and me being a country girl always went dancing, anyway, one dance together and Mike forgot someone else invited him and we danced the whole time! From that night on we saw eachother every single night until he we got married!!! Whoever says opposites attract, was right!

Our Beautiful Taylie

Here's a slide show of some of Taylie's better moments :)

Our newest adventure

I am new at this blogging thing so here we go. My husband Mike, my daughter Taylie, and I recently (as in the past two weeks) moved to Hyde Park into a nice spacious two bedroom apartment. Then again after our last apartment anything is huge (Taylie used to sleep in the closet)!! I got a new job working two 12 hour night shifts at Cache Valley Specialty Hospital as an ER Clerk, so far I have enjoyed it. Mike is still working part time at Thermo-fisher scientific and just started school yesterday. He stays busy and Taylie and i miss him alot. We are also expecting our second child! We had our first ultra-sound today, everything looks great and Dr. Noorda said if it was a boy he would put him back for me and ask for something else! JUST KIDDING I WOULD LOVE A BOY!! Life has been busy and were just waiting to get settled into a routine :)
