Where our story began~

Where  our story began~
I want my children to know that the temple is my favorite place to be. It is there that I am closest to my father in Heaven. I have a great love for the work that goes on in the temple. I know that we have a great work to do while we are here on earth and I am priveledged to be a part of that work. I have a testimony of Jesus Christ as my savior and redeemer. He has never let me down, not once.....I'm so blessed to have children that know at a young age who they are and what they stand for. I'm greatful for the Christlike examples in our lives. We are surrounded by people we love and that love us, what a blessing. The temple is where our story, The Taylor Story began....I pray that it is only the begining of a legacy of faith, service, love, obedience and happiness. Much Love~ Mom

Aladdin... Bathroom???

            So I get a call from the stake.....
"Sister Taylor you have been invited to help out with the stake prom this year."

AAAHHHH, I'm not so crafty...like that kind of crafty!!  I can paint a box, but what does "Help" mean!!!
These peeps that decorate for prom are crazily talented.....not much goin on upstairs on this end of the earth right..

"uh ok." I hang up.

Call from our ward...someone I know...and love..we will call her:V  (icky)

Vicky:"Hey Dawn Meeting on Wednesday about prom."

Me thinking:  oh crud...PIANO...

Me again:  "Can you just assign me a job...not so hard one K"

Vicky:"K...I'll let ya know later.

Later happens....
V calls again.....

Vicky "K, got your assignment!"

Me: "Ya"

Vicky: "THE BOYS BATHROOM!"

Vicky is rather amused....
Vicki:"The theme is Aladdin"
Me:  "Guess that's what I get for not being at the meeting...the crappy job!!"  Ha  ha~
(Entrance into the bathroom)
(mirrors in front of the sink)
After a few weeks of agonizing over a call to the bathroom, I decided I wanted the boys to talk about the bathroom on the dance floor......
so I agonized some more....
And then it came....slowly.....
and I was able to have fun...
Like snakes in the urinals fun...
dry ice in the urinals fun.....
Smoke when you pee .....fun
An Aladdin man cave fun.....

We had a sort of flood in the bath room because to many people were in front of the pee'r and the auto flush kept going off...oops
Tape over the sensor did the trick...we were back in business!
Joe & Stacey Smith,  Maureen & Bob Vehar

Mike was at work and someone had to restock the dry ice....
Do you know what happens when hot liquid hits dry ice...
It smokes alot and melts!  YIPPEE
sooo about every half hour a restocking was needed!
 I had fun taking pictures and playing in the boys room!
Joe &Shauna Smith , Stephen &TJ Eich, Joe &Darla Zigler
These were my unofficial dates...they just wanted Mike to know I was in good hands while he was out making money~
The girl gang! 
 I had a blast watching all the YSA dance...
Did we behave that way!!
This is the finished product....can you hear the crickets in the background!!


Funny thing that something as un important as the boys room can be inspired. I was in line at Walmart with ten cans of spray paint because I couldn't find ANY brown spray paint on the west side. After a million stores I decided just to spent the money and get the six dollar a can spray paint. We were standing in the checkout line and I was having buyers remorse already. I heard "Don't get it" I have been around long enough to know not to ignore that voice so I quickly went to customer service and put it down, after spending a half our in Wally world trying to find an employee to open the cabinet. Brenna said "Mom what are you doing!"....since I had just drug her all over the world...."I don't know girl."..the right thing I guess". We wondered into Michaels and just stood in front of the paint section....now what..............




I wandered for a while and stopped in front of the $1.50 finger paints....In my mind I SAW myself crumppling up paper and stuffing it into a pickle bucket full of paint and water.........

You should have seen my neighbors wander over one at a time!!



"Now what are you doing!" As my lawn was lined with brown water colored paper...for a week~



Wa La...Man Cave



The lord even loves simple things...I love Inspiration
