Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! Just wanted to share a few great Easter videos with you all.

Ah...Christmas (mumbo-jumbo thoughts)

Well it's almost the new year, but first comes Christmas. Boy am I not ready. WHAT HAPPENED TO 2011! We're just 2 weeks away from 2012!

This whole fall has been crazy so I've been shirking my blog. Which I miss. I miss blogging. I dream all the time about the cool blogs I could do. Most of them are book related since I follow so many author and book blogs. :D I do have a book blog. But it would take a lot of work to shape up.
So sorry for shirking. My goal for 2012 is to post at least every week.

But back to Christmas.

What do you love about the Holiday? For me it's lots of smells, sights and sounds. Not to mention the family traditions and fun that comes with celebrating the birth of Christ.

A short update and them I'm off to hit the hay. :D

With our Homeschool Group (Scholars of Light/SOL) we have a choir. This is for the older kids who can sit through long practices and learn longer and harder songs. (Jamie is the youngest member @ 8yr.) It's been a lot of fun to learn awesome songs.

This season we thought it would be fun to have some of us piano playing youth accompany the choir on the things we learned. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. We've already had once performance and that went great. I think mom will be videotaping the performance tomorrow so maybe I'll get access to that.

I'm playing Christmas Bell Carol (also known as Carol of the Bells) and a Natalie Sleeth song (we do a lot of her) called Were You There. It's a lot of fun.

Well I'm tired and I have a book waiting. What's better, Books, Beds or Both?

I'll go with Both.

Till next time. Feliz Navidad!

Happy Mothers Day Mommy Dearest

Happy Mothers Day to Mommy Dearest! (and to all the other moms, aunts, and grandmas I know.)

This mothers day we combined forces(Well Dad and I) and got mom a Double-Sided Deep Belgium Waffle Iron. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!! She loves it. We had it Belgium Waffles for dinner.

I love you mom. You do so much for me and my siblings, much more than I could ever list. Thanks for everything. I love you.

Thanksgiving 2010

I know this is really late, and I am SORRY! I'm really behind on posting. Amazing I know, but I've been busy.

Thanksgiving this year was really fun. We had our good friends, the VanDams over. A couple other families in our ward and stake also joined us for dinner and pie. The Van Dams have 4 girls that match to most of our ages and we get along really well. We had fun putting on a play, and doing a couple other fun things. One was as special song. This song originated about a week ago. I thought it would be really fun to put together some lyrics that talk about Thanksgiving and put them to a familiar tune. So over the week, Mackenzie and I work with it and came out with a very cool ending. We sang this for the parents as a surprise. It was very fun. I would like to share the lyrics with you.

Thanksgiving Song (Tune “Angels We Have Heard On High”)

Lyrics By

Hannah and Mackenzie Taylor

Verse 1 - Every year it comes to town, Celebrated all around. Started 1621, Held in Plymoth, Lots of Fun!

Chorus – Yu-ummy food. Lots of yummy food. Gra-ateful hearts. Thank him on Thanksgiving Day

Verse 2 – Thanksgiving's known for lots of food, It gives me a happy mood.Turkey, tatoe's, pumpkin pie. Every year I think I'll die.

CHORUS

Verse 3 – God gives us a lot of stuff. We should thank him every day. So we have this holiday. That is all we have to say.

CHORUS

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope it's full of happiness and gratitude!

The Weirdest Halloween Costume of 2010

So around here, some of the middle schools close to my house let the students wear costumes to school on Friday. On the way home from Co-op we were waiting at the stop light and I saw some guy in a costume.

What? Okay fine I'll tell you. So this was a middle schooler! The guy was dressed as a teletubby!

Do you know what a teletubby is? It's a kid TV show. I watched it when I was younger. Way younger. See HERE for more info. Oh and they don't even talk. Now I think it's weird, but back then I think I loved it.

Valentine's Day

Pictures. The girls wore their gorgeous matching dresses, and I got these cute pictures of them. I am really surprised Laurel behaved so well. Usually she poses and then runs to see the pictures before you even had a chance to take it!

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas. This year the tree wasn't so packed as we did not receive any gifts from Mom and Dad and used the money to give to others. One of my favorite gifts was the one from my Grandma Taylor. We each received a T-Shirt with the words 'Courage of a Warrior' on the front. We also received a ' Charity book, Where we record Battles with Satan that we won (such as helping others) and our Joys and Blessings. I spent most of the day REading new books, and playing new games. I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did to!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

P.S. Pictures to come Later! My camera ran out of Batteries, and we have no available AA's.
