And she's OFF!!

She started walking a little over two weeks ago and now she's everywhere! These videos are from a couple weeks ago.

Confirmed: It's Father's Day tomorrow!

Here are all the "fathers" in my life that mean a great deal to me: McKay is a member of the FFA (Future FATHER of America).

and baby Maren

Spencer, thank you for being a supportive and loving husband and father! I love you.

Grandpa, thanks for finding the gospel and accepting it as a young father. Thank you for changing your whole life around to give your posterity an opportunity to know our Savior and His true church. Even though you are far away, you are loved and we know that we are loved, too.

Grandpa Weiss and Taylor

(Note to self: Take more and better pictures of my Dad)

Dad, thank you for being such a wonderful example to me. You have always been a loving and kind father. In my mind, you exemplify this scripture: "No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned; By kindness, and pure knowledge..." (D&C 121:41-42) I love you!

Happy Father's Day!

Here's my big father's day embarrassing moment:

I was asked to give the prayer in our church meeting on Father's Day two years ago. I said the prayer and did NOT forget to mention how wonderful fathers are in our lives and how grateful I was that it was father's day. I finished my prayer and then as I saw panic in the faces of most of the children in the congregation the thought struck me that I may have made a mistake. I turned around to a woman seated behind me and questioned, "it isn't father's day, is it?" She replied with a giggle in her eyes, "No it's not, but that's OK." I quickly rushed down from the podium with blood rushing to my face and EVERYONE in church smiling/laughing at me, not with me. The bishop got up and let everyone know that father's day was in fact the following week. He made fun of me and then he teased me about it for about a year.

Why couldn't I have made this realization just minutes beforehand? Why did I realize my mistake when it was WAY too late? Grrr. I even pampered Spencer on that Sunday...and he let me!!(He was pretty excited about the idea of 2 father's days in a year once he found out that the following sunday was also father's day!)

When Father's Day rolled around, I wasn't in the mood to do much, since I had celebrated the week before(Spencer was a little dissappointed).

On that note: Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful men in my life!

...Tomorrow is Father's Day, right?

Handsome McKay

He's proud to wear a tie!
We get to start the potty training this summer when McKay turns three. I'm not even going to try until then. We did buy him some "Cars" and "Thomas the Train" undies.
When McKay wears these princess slippers, I really wish he had a brother to balance out the nail polish and princess shoes. That thought only lasts a second, because we can happily wait a few years (or more...if our next is another girl) to give him a bro. At least he's holding a water gun, right?!!

The Little Mermaid

This is Taylor's rendition of Ariel. Nice.
