2012 so far...

Wow what a crazy year 2012 has already been! Being the insane woman I am, I decided to take 23 credits this semester and it is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be! Why would I do such a crazy thing you may ask? Well you see Jeff and I will be heading out of state this Fall for Jeff's graduate school. (He's still deciding between Austin, Texas and Santa Barbara, California.) Since an associates degree transfers so much better than a bunch of credits, I decided to take on the task of getting my associates by April. While I am not regretting the decision to do this, it has definitely limited my free time and thus my blogging time as well. However, it is Spring Break now (HALLELUJAH!), so I decided to catch you all up on whats been going on in the life of the Beans! :)

 We had to give away our adorable kitty Cheeto to our good friends Brittney and Dallin Gardner. We were so sad to part with him, but had to move to a new apartment that wouldn't allow us to keep him. However, we still get to see him whenever we visit the Gardners, which is a silver lining.


Walker received a sever blow to his abdomen during a basketball game. He was rushed to the hospital and found out that his small intestine had a huge hole in it and acid was leaking all over his organs. (The doctors actually took pictures of all this during surgery, but I thought them a little too graphic for the public eye...) It was scary for a while there,but after two surgeries and ten days of living at the hospital, Walker was finally able to come home and after almost two months of recovery, he is back on the courts playing the sport he loves so much! :) 

We got a xbox 360 and kinect! Its so much fun having friends away and playing fruit ninja, the rythm and dance games on it! Above is Chanel and Tyler slicing it up on fruit ninja. :) 

 Jeff and I playing my favorite kinect game, Dance Central 2. :) 

I learned how to repel! For Christmas I got some repelling and canyoning gear, so we went out in the hills with my Dad, Isaac and my Dad's friend Jared to learn how all of the gear worked. Jeff had already been several times, but really enjoyed learning how to set up the gear so that we could go out canyoning on our own. :) So much fun! 


And for the grande finally!.... WE'RE AN AUNT AND UNCLE!!!! Abbie gave birth to her darling baby boy on March 3rd and we are all so happy to have this new addition to the family! His name is Nicholas Olani Taylor and is (as my mom would say) "simply perfect!" :) 

Such an adorable angel! He is making all of our family and friends baby hungry for one of their own! And how could such a darling boy not?

As you can see 2012 is turning out to an eventful and exciting year! We are so blessed with so many loved ones around us and couldn't be happier! :) So there is your catch up and I promise to try and be better about my blogging. :) HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!!!
