Hunter's Newborn Pictures!!

I am so excited for the newborn pictures we got taken of Hunter, they turned out so cute and they are exactly what I was wanting! Here are a few of my favs!

Hunter Landon Taylor

Well I thought that I would hurry and share the story of how our little boy got here! Landon and I went into the doctor on the 23rd of September and my doctor gave me the go ahead to be induced on the 27th which actually is Landon's birthday! We were so excited! He told us to come into the hospital at 5:30 that night. So on Sunday Landon and I went to church and then came home and made last minute preparations. We cleaned the house and got packed to go to the hospital, I thought that the day would drag on forever but it actually went pretty fast! So around 5:30 we headed to the hospital, the night was pretty uneventful, they were just trying to get me to start labor slow so they gave me some pills, I had some small contractions but nothing to major. That next morning, they were making me change position a lot while I was laying down because they didn't like what Hunter's heart beat was doing. My doctor finally came in and broke my water to see if we could get his heart rate a little more normal, when he did this my contractions completely stopped and Hunter's heart rate got more irregular. I wasn't that worried until my doctor looked at me and said we have to have an emergency C-section and I think that we need to hurry so we have to but you under GA and Landon can't come in. I was so sad when I heard this. So the next thing that I knew there we like 10 people in my room asking me questions and getting me ready to go into surgery. Everything was happening so fast that I didn't even have time to be scared or nervous. Luckily right before they took me in Hunter's heart rate perked right up and Landon was able to suit up and come in to see the birth. I went in they gave me a spinal block, and everything went perfect. Hunter was born at 9:13am on September 28th 2009. My recovery has been going great, I was really tired after everything so every picture of me I look exhausted. But I am so glad that Hunter is here. I am loving being a mom! Speaking on mom's I was so lucky to have my mom stay with us after we got home from the hospital for like 5 days, it was so fun to have her around I didn't want her to go home! But now we are getting into a schedule, Hunter is such a good baby and sleeps most of the time! We got his newborn pictures done yesterday (I will post those when I get them back!) and he was such a good boy, even though he peed twice! (Once all over Landon!) But Landon and I are loving being parents we can't get enough of our little guy!

Back to Blogging

So I know that I haven't blogged in forever, but now that I am not working and am now a stay at home mom I thought that I would get back to it so everyone could know how our little family is doing! A lot had happened since April, we re did some things in our house...this endeavour took the whole summer! We painted, re did the bathroom, put in new baseboards and doors, and also put in new tile and carpet. This was all in preparation for our new addition to our family. Everything turned out so nice, I wish that I could put before and after pictures on here but we had no camera for the whole summer. We also did some really cute things in our 2ND bedroom and now have a really fun nursery. Its not all the way finished, I still am looking for a few things for the shelves, and we just got Hunter's newborn pictures taken, so I am also waiting to get those back so I can hang them up! But other than that I really like the way things turned out. Landon is back in school he is almost done with his physical therapy assistant program and then it is off to PT or PA school for us! We also welcomed our new addition to the family on September 29th, he is sooo cute and we are so lucky to have such a good little boy, he only wakes up in the night when he needs to eat and then right back to sleep he goes! And he hardly ever cries, unless he needs something! I am such a lucky mom! So wish me luck in this blogging venture, it is really one of my goals to be committed to being a semi regular blogger!

Yep Its True!!!

So Landon and I are very excited to announce that we will be parents on October 6th! I don't have much to post about it, just that we are really happy and can't wait! I am 14 weeks tomorrow and am starting to feel a little better from all the morning sickness! We went to the doctor today and got to hear the heart beat and get a little ultra sound....it was sooo cool! We will be finding out what we are having in the middle of May! So there you go, no other real big updates just excited for school to be over and summer to come! And that we are going to be doing some work on the house before the baby comes! We really can't wait till October!

Many Posts Long Over Due!!!

Well it has been forever since I have updated this thing! I can't even get a moment to see my husband let alone blog! So I thought that I would post some pictures and let everyone know that we are still alive and update about what has been going on since the holidays with Landon and I. Well to start off Christmas was a very fun, but way to short! Landon and I both had to work Christmas Eve and then be back to work the morning on the day after Christmas, oh the joys of working retail! We got to go to my parents this year and spend some time with them so that was really nice. We also were able to talk to my brother Preston who is serving a mission for our church in Arizona, that was so awesome to talk to him! He has only been out for about six months and it already feels like a life time!

Ok so i can't get any of my pictures from Christmas to post so I guess it wasn't meant to be!

So for new years this year Landon and I got to go up to Bear Lake with his family. It was so good to see everyone and just hang out for a few days! We got to go play out in the snow, so this meant that I had to go purchase all new stuff since I haven't owned a pair of snow pants or snow boots since i was like 10 years old! I really don't like the cold or winter that much so my logic is why go outside and hang out in it! But it ended up being so much fun, we got to go sledding, and played on the ice!

Now that the holidays are all over Landon and I are back in school and working our bums off. Landon and I both have sixteen credits this semester and are working 40 hours a week, sometimes I really don't know how we do it and still stay sane, and in love since we never see each other! Landon is really such an amazing husband though, I know that people do special posts about their husbands all the time but I did just want to say how lucky I am to have married such a great guy that is so hard working, and never complains. A couple weeks ago I was at work and Landon and I had not seen each other for a few days (except for when our day was over and we were sleeping). So any way I was at work and all the sudden I look up and there is a lady with a big bouquet of flowers saying my name! He was such a sweetheart and had gotten me flowers, just to let me know that he still thought I was a hottie!! hahah! He really is the best, and if it were not for him and his great personality I don't think I could get through my weeks!

Well I hope that we will have some fun posts to come, Landon and I have been thinking about going on a little get away before life gets much more crazy. And hopefully I will be able to get together with my two best friends Whitney and Katelyn for a long over due girls weekend. Also I think that my sister in laws and I are going to be planning a weekend get away as well, Landon's sister Sheena and his brothers wife Amber are expecting babies this year so we better go while we can, P.S. I am so excited for them!

Oh Christmas Tree!!!

So I thought that it might be fun to post some pictures of our house now that it is decorated for Christmas! I think that our little house looks pretty festive if I do say so myself!

Landon and I also got our Christmas present for this year. We got a 42 inch plasma for a really good deal that we could not resist! When we bought it Landon and I looked at each other and said MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! But it is really nice to have a tv again to watch movies on and stuff cause we left our other one in Philly becuase Landon did not want to take it home!

I also thought that it would be fun to post this picture of our dog Summit, he is in dear need of a hair cut but i thought he looked cute with his beard with snow all in it! I was so excited becuase today it snowed for the first time this winter, I only hope it keeps coming! I ususally dont like the snow but I do LOVE it durring the Christmas season! I just dosent feel like Christmas without it!

Happy Holidays!!!

SO really I suck at blogging....but at least I am making some kind of effort! Well Landon and I have been so busy we barley get to see eachother, I guess both of us working full time jobs and going to school full time doesnt leave much extra time! School is going great for both of us...I am almost done, only one semester left---YAHOOO!! And Landon is just so excited for Christmas Break. So last week was my 21st birthday and can I just say that I have the best husband EVER, he made my birthday so special.....he is the best guy! So on Thanksgiving we go to go to Logan, Utah and spending the day with Landon's family. We had a great time and got to see some people that we had not seen since we had been home from Philly! I really love spending time with Landon's brothers and sister and their spouses, and his parents, we really just have a great time---I wish we could see eachother more! Any way we are really getting excited for Christmas, I love christmas time--just like everyone else! One of the biggest reasons that I love Christmas time is it reminds me of when Landon and I started dating, I really cant believe that was 2 years ago..time really does fly! One thing about this Christmas season that will be really different is that my whole family wont be there, Preston is serving a mission in Arizona. I am so so proud of him he has been out almost 4 months and he was just made a senior companion and a district leader. I really miss him so much, his last letter home he sounded like he was getting so home sick, so I really hope that the holidays are going to go well for him, it will be so so fun to talk to him on Christmas Day. It is amazing how much I can already tell that he has grown up, he just sounds so different in his e-mails, I really cant wait for him to get home. Well he have the the Christmas decorations up and are very excited for the holidays! We hope to see lots of family and friends over the break!
