BYU Graduate!

Jeff has GRADUATED!!! I am so proud of my amazing husband and all of his hard work and dedication! He is so smart and such an amazing student! It was quite a task to convince Jeff to go to graduation (he thinks that since he is going onto Grad. School, going to graduation for his bachelors would be silly.) My mom has been trying to convince him to walk for months now, but it wasn't until Annette (my mother in-law) got wind of Jeff's stubbornness and confronted him, that he finally gave in... a little. :) Jeff wouldn't go to commencement and walk, but he finally agreed to go to the general graduation and listen to Pres. Oaks speak. It was a wonderful ceremony and only went for a little over an hour. (Which we loved!)  I can't believe Jeff is not only going onto Graduate School for another 4-5 years of schooling, but is also excited about it! Haha I love what a nerd he is! :)  While we cannot wait for this next chapter in our lives, we will miss all of our family and friends here! But lets not dwell on that. Below are some pictures of the big day. :)

My camera broke, but here is a picture of the packed stadium and Pres. Oaks on the screen. 


My brilliant and handsome graduate. :) 

Jeff and his parents. The two people who raised Jeff to work hard and value education like he does! They are such incredible people and I am so grateful to be a part of their family!  

Jeff and his brother Stephen. His other brothers, David and Alex, couldn't make it, but it was great to have Stephen there. :) 

The family! (minus two brothers)

I love him so much and am so proud of him! This next chapter in our life is going to so much fun, but I am so grateful for all the time and memories we have already had! BYU will forever be a part of our lives and we will always be fans. GO COUGARS!!!

My New Nephew!

You all knew it was coming and it is finally here! Today I am dedicating my blog to my first and favorite little nephew, Nick! His full name is Nicholas (Sorry if I spelt that the wrong way sis) Olani Taylor and he is the most adorable and sweet tempered baby! I am absolutely in love with him and so happy for Abbie and TC! I know everyone says all babies are cute, but this little guy really is the cutest of the cute! :D Below are some pictures of the little guy. (My camera is full of them!)

 This was a couple weeks ago. Isn't he so sweet! 

 LOVE his chubby cheeks!!! I guess both Abbie and TC were big babies and it looks like little Nick is following in his footsteps. ;) But really, whats cutter than a chubby baby? :) 

 Chillin on Gramzie's lap wondering why everyone keeps speaking to him in funny voices. 

 I love it when he falls asleep with his mouth open! So adorable! 


So that's a new auntie gushing about how adorable her little nephew is! I'm so sad we will be moving to Austin this fall and will miss out on a lot of his growing stages, but I am so happy to have the time I have with him before then! More pictures will definitely be following. :)
