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

Jake's Baptism

We write history......the history our kids will forever talk about... for the rest of their lives.....their childhood...special moments that shape us....that bind us as a family....
forever.....
We had a wonderful day!  Filled with the love and support of family and friends....
The girls all got special treatment on their baptism day....Tracy Moore my lifetime friend and hairstylist always helped the girls do their hair....why should Jake be any different!! Tracy's  Hubby Dave  and Jeff, singles ward forever friends helped Jake feel extra "special!"
Pictures compliments of Bruce Taylor whom we love and adore!   The boys had fun messing around in the bathroom while the Elders gave us the first discussion!  We waited for these guys to come in, buckle down and be reverent!!  Love it Boys!!

Deep Thoughts!
We went to visit Walt and Nell, Walt was an hour and a half early to the baptism...oh  sweet Nell got the time mixed up!  She couldn't come so we took Jake to see her~
Nellie:  
 "Jake you will be the best Missionary ever, remember I will be watching you from Heaven!"
Walt:
Jake, this is the first step back to Heavenly Father and only you can do it!"
Nellie:
"Well not really Walt!  Someone can do his work for him when he's dead!"
We all laughed and laughed!!  We have learned so much from Walt and Nell, wish we could known them twenty years ago!  We have been blessed to be a part of their lives.
My Boys!
