Ernie Updates..

Here you go Taylor Family.. here are some updates of the little guy.. He is growing like crazy but still can't quite grasp the concept of not peeing in the house.. good thing we are getting new carpet next year.. But we still love him.. He is quite the character..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!

So I am a couple days late to say it.. but who is surprised.. not me. Nathan turned 24 on Tuesday and we celebrated by staying home!! yay! I am so boring.. We went out to dinner with all of our friends for a multi-birthday-party shindig for Nathan Morgan and Dallin to Texas roadhouse.. It was so good!! So here are some pics of the wonderful occasion! I love you baby.. hope you had a fun birthday!! Xoxo!

Our Homemade Rock Wall

So when we were house shopping we both had our own idea of what we wanted in a house... I wanted a washer and dryer, an extra room that we could use for a baby room someday.. a dishwasher.. and Nathan.. well he wanted a rock wall.. So when we bought our house we both got what we wanted.. I got the upstairs extra bedroom and he got the downstairs bedroom to build his wall.. So here it is. He set his mind to it.. got the wood and it was up.. all in a day's work for Nathan. actually it was two.. So here are the pics!

Joe's Valley

A couple weekends ago we decided to finally go on a climbing trip.. We met at Brian and Dana's house and packed the car to the rim and we were on our way!! We had tons of fun and we are going to try to fit another one in before winter so we will see how that goes.. We got some funny looks traveling down the freeway with the crash pads on top of the little car! It was hilarious! Oh ya.. and We used our dutch oven for the first time and it was awesome!! Thanks Jess and Mark.. we will never go camping without it.. I think we ate better camping than we do at home..
(probably because Nathan cooked camping and I cook at home..) Yep. Thats it.

We went to a nearby town one night to see if there was anything to do.. It is such a small town that they did have a theatre but the townspeople said they only opened it when they felt like it.. but this board was right outside the building.. We need to have one of these in Huntsville sometime.. anyone want in?

The Apartment..

Alright, alright.. we know it has been forever since we posted so you can all stop reminding us.. Moving into a new house turned into a bigger project than expected but all is up and running now.. but before we post pics of the house.. We want to show you all what our living conditions have been for the last year. This post is not to complain, its just to give you all a heads up. We have been absolutely blessed to have rented where we did. If we had been anywhere else there is no way in heck we would have been able to make ends meet to move into this house. We are so grateful for the Stokes putting up with us for the last year!! We hope you Enjoy!!

It really doesn't look that messy when you are there in person.. or maybe it does.. I might just be used to it looking that way..lol ;)

Ernie..

We decided to get a puppy since we have wanted one since we got married.. our current landlords do not allow pets.. mostly becasue there is nowhere to put them.. But Nathan's parents raise Scotties and just had a batch of little puppies so we picked one out!! He will not be ready for a couple weeks so it will be perfect by the time we get moved into our house. We named him Ernie.. he is the one with the green yarn around his neck and he is the fatest one of the bunch.. he was born almost twice as big as the runt.. so here are some pics of him and some of Bailey!! I can't believe how big she is!
