Our relatively peaceful house is about to get seriously dramatic when I break the news that just like every other Sunday morning play time is over and it's time to take b a t h s....I know I've said this before but it's still funny...and guaranteed the kids will complain and try to tell me they took baths yesterday or even the day before or the day before and wonder why their lives are so unfair that they have to be clean-sometimes. and Nate will just wonder why he can't sleep a little longer! Wish me Luck!

sunday
If you were at my house today you'd find 3 ridiculously cute boys playing with legos, drawing and having star wars battles. 1 equally but maybe even more so ridiculously cute girl listening to books on tape and creating masterpieces out of paper,paint, glue and yarn-all done in her room of solitary disaster. 1 amazingly talented and again ridiculously cute husband sleeping in bed-he likes to sleep in and doesn't get to that often and we went on a date last night and he took North skiing for the first time yesterday which means he used up some serious patience. Then there's me...I just ate breakfast alone and I'm planning the week and our trip to Seattle at the end of the month and how we're going to fit more soccer into our lives etc etc etc

Blue turns 5 and he promised us he would
stay 4 forever, but if he did turn 5 he would jump
stay 4 forever, but if he did turn 5 he would jump
over the shed and turn 4 again.
We are still waiting for him to jump the shed.
Pinatas and Star Wars themed parties are an unbroken tradition
Hope they never end.
Lightsabers are always the weapon of choice for the destruction
of the poor pinata.
Happy Birthday Blue we love you,
but promise not to turn 6!

Merry Late Christmas Again!-what's the deal with me?!
Inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas (gifts) my family gave us last year, here’s our 12 Days of Christmas Letter!
1 Happy Taylor Family- 4 healthy children, lots of really great family & friends!
2 Year Old North-He’s spoiled, intense & the cutest Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde there is! As long as you have candy or cookies, he’ll be your best friend. He loves his blanket, smoothies, anything Star Wars-which is pretty surprising, animals, cars, dinosaurs & being outside. Be careful interacting with him- he may throw something at you or bite or hit you-awesome!
3 Broken Bones- Jonas broke both arms-2 bones in his right arm/1 bone in his left. First big snow, playing on our shed Sunday morning, tripped while trying to jump off & help Blue, did a flip or 2 or 3, crash landing .We didn’t make it to church that day. He just got his killer custom cast off-our artist friend drew General Grievous on it.
4 Year Old Blue-Mr. Bub is still going strong &will be 5 soon (in June) that’s soon enough for him. He’s a tiny guy but super tough! Obsessed with Star Wars & Legos, like always. He also loves to draw, going to the “real” beach, playing with his friends-mostly cousins!, being right next to mom,” playing” soccer, skiing, anything Jonas is doing.
5 Soccer teams! Are you kidding me? These were indoor teams in November & December. Just 2 months of that & now Blue is going to take a break from chatting it up on the field & waving to the crowd or as dad says pickin’ daisies, but he is the cutest daisy picker that soccer field has. Now we only drive to Lindon 4 times a week-not 5!
6 People playing-We are late to everything & going in all directions mainly because we have to play everyday! That’s the goal at least! It’s difficult being a grown up sometimes.
7 Family Trips -Moab, Lake Powell, Boulder twice in July & at Thanksgiving(visiting Lyd’s brother Mat and his fam), Uintas & California-the real beach. Lots of camping & a day at Disneyland & good times!
8 Year Old Jonas-Despite his broken arms he’s still a goal scoring machine & full of energy! He loves soccer, skiing, Star Wars, Legos, scouts, drawing & being outside! He was baptized this July in a pond near Mat’s farm in Boulder, Utah. He’s at a new school this year & took 2 minutes or so to make tons of friends! Don’t know where he gets that ! Super smart & sweet when he slows down for a second! Luckily N8 is a cutie since Jonas is his clone although Jonas wins on the best hair-EVER!
9 Sports last summer-5(or 6) soccer teams, 1 softball team, 1 baseball team, 2 kids in tennis lessons. Welcome to our new life! 3 of my soccer teams overlapped for a few weeks. N8’s outdoor team overlapped with MJ’s team-which he was co-coaching. We missed a few games- only because you really can’t be 2 places at once. I think we will wait another year or so to play baseball & softball again. At least our kids didn’t complain once about being bored!
10 Year Old MaryJo-What! No more single digits…sigh. Beautiful, smart, creative, soccer player, skiing black diamonds-N8 makes her but she can do it!, babysitter. She’s also going to a new school this year that we affectionately call smarty pants school! She loves it! They made salsa from their garden, require extra projects- perfect for Miss Recycle Messy MaJessy, & the toughest part of it are the field trips! Last week, N8 had to help her class go skiing at Sundance. MJ just got contacts-which was an eaiser choice than glasses since she still can’t find a frame she likes!? Maybe next year she’ll add cellist to her list of attributes since she wants one for Christmas-plus art stuff, Pumas & a kitten of course.
11 is such a cool number! Join us for our 11/11/11 party at 11:11 am & pm! (another once in a century date to celebrate this year: 9/10/11)
12 days late…and then some but at least we’re sending these out again!
13 years of marriage bliss for N8 and The Little Lady
