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

The Best thing about being twelve~

Grandma has been working on genealogy so we were able to take Taylor names and Grandpa
 with is, it was an amazing morning~

Audrey has looked forward to turning twelve for quite a while~ Not only was she the last one in her primary class with Brother Hunt....but she wanted to go on temple dates with Mike, Maddy and I.  It is a tradition the forst Saturaday of the month to go early in the morning to do baptisms and go to breakfast afterwards.  For two years We have enjoyed our early morning dates with Maddy.. We are so thrilled to have Audrey join us. 
Maddy was excited to be able to show Audrey the temple by herself while I went and changed.  It is an awesome experience as a mother knowing that Audrey was in good hands as Maddy showed her what to do.  She was a proud big sister~
Grandpa treated us to yummy roast beef in the cafeteria of heaven, we had some good conversation about the meaning of life~ What better place to teach our children than the temple~  Thanks Grandpa~


Happy Birthday Audrey!!  We are so proud of the young lady you have become.  You are an awesome example to our family.  It is our hope that as you grow up and face the difficult trials that life will sometimes bring, you will turn to the temple for peace.  Stregnth comes from those quite moments when you can shut out all of life's distractions..  Know that the temple is our solace.  With the Lords help all things are possible, as you put your faith in Him, He will in trust you with sacred things.  We are eternally thankful you were given to us as a gift in this life.  We love you, you teach us many wonderful things.  I am grateful to be your Mom. 
 I Love you~

Miss you tons!
