Saylor loves Boise!

So as soon as school was out, what was the first thing I wanted to do to start off my summer? Take a trip to Boise!! Ty was nice enough to let me go visit my family for two whole weeks! Me and Saylor had so much fun!
Saylor loves laying on Mommy's tummy

Saylor loved Zach so much! Zach can make her smile better than anyone else. He would babysit her everyday while I went to work out and they would just play the whole time. I never knew how cute Zach was with babies, he will be the greatest dad! She loved getting up on his shoulders.

Bowling for family night, Saylor pretty much slept right through it.

Saylor and her favorite Auntie, how great to have people wanting to hold Saylor all the time. It was a nice break for me. Saylor got tons of love, I think she is starting to get a little spoiled since she spent two weeks being held and snuggled all day long! Kirstie was the best to change diapers, get her dressed and make her smell so good by powdering and lotioning her up!

Do I have the cutest baby ever or what? My family loved putting her sunglasses on her.

This is Saylor playing with her new toy. She could push the button to make the lights and music turn on, it was so cute.

Over the weekend Ty came to pick us up and we had lots of fun at Eagle Fun Days going to the pancake breakfast and the parade. (Sadly I forgot my camera) Ty also got to show Saylor off to some of his favorite families from when he served in Eagle on his mission. He is a very proud Daddy and is very happy to have his girls back home!

Last Day of School

So I made it through that last month of school and all that time away from Saylor! It was hard being away from her but knowing it was Ty at home with her made things so much better. Ty is the greatest dad and he did such a good job taking care of her. I'm pretty sure he is missing all that Daddy-daughter time he had while I was gone.
My class was so excited to have me back, someone brought cupcakes on my first day to celebrate my return to school. I was blessed with such an amazing class this year and I couldn't have survived with out that! Being pregnant all year and having Saylor definitely made teaching a challenge but it was also so much fun to have my class be a part of it. I am going to miss teaching a lot, in so many ways I think it has prepared me to be a mom. For now I close the teaching chapter of my life and begin life as a full time mom!!

A Day at the Pool

The last week of school was full of fun activities including swimming day at Payson Pool. I bought Saylor's swim suit the day I found out I was pregnant so I've been dying for a chance to put it on her. The water was pretty cold but Saylor didn't seem to mind. The kids were all so excited to see her!

My amazing mother came down and spent another week at our house to help take care of Saylor. With all the craziness of me finishing school and Ty trying to get to class and study for the MCAT it was so nice to have her around. (I think she's enjoying this Grandma thing!) She drove Saylor all the way down to Payson so she could swim with me.
Saylor was stylin in her sunglasses and adorable little swim suit cover.

Saylor's Baby Blessing

Saylor's Baby Blessing was over Memorial Day Weekend.  Tyler did such a beautiful job on the blessing, I'm so grateful to have such a worthy priesthood holder as a husband.  There were almost 20 men in the circle when she was blessed, it is so nice to have so much support from our family and friends.  It was one of those days when Saylor looked so adorable that I couldn't stop taking pictures of her so sorry there are so many...  



Four Generations: Grandma, Mom, Great-Grandma Leavitt and Baby Saylor


Such a happy family!





Saylor really is such an angel baby, she was so well behaved the entire night and didn't cry at all during the blessing.  Me and Ty love her so much and feel so blessed to be her parents!

Summer is almost here!

Summer is almost here and we've been loving all the fun summer activities we look forward to all year long. Ty and I rode our bikes to Autumn's track meet at BYU (she took 2nd in state in the high jump! Yay Autumn!). After our bike ride home from the track meet, we went up Provo canyon with Matt, Sass, Cami, and John. We roasted hot dogs and had our traditional dutch oven cobbler that is so delicious. We love going up the canyon!



What would be a post with out some adorable pictures of Saylor?



Saylor is such a happy girl!

Two Months

Saylor is already two months, I can't believe it! She is getting more and more fun everyday as her personality comes out. She has been extra smiley lately and we finally got some pictures of her. When Saylor smiles I just melt, it is the cutest thing ever!
Saylor looked extra adorable yesterday so I took tons of pictures of her-sorry I have so many pictures on this post, I just couldn't choose.




One of my students gave Saylor a new flower this week. Everyone gives me a hard time about how huge her flowers are but I love them!

The weather's been so nice lately, we love to go on walks up the canyon.
Saylor finally got to wear her puma's even though they are huge on her. She is such an advanced child, her legs are strong enough to support her body, she just can't balance on her own...yet.
She looks so grown up!!
Saylor also had her 2 month check-up. Daddy got to take her all by himself. She had gained 2 lbs exactly. She is now 10 lbs. 6 oz. and in the 41%. She is 23 inches now and in the 75% for height. She still has a tiny head in the 1st %, but we don't talk about it too much...don't want to give her a complex at 2 months.
Saylor is an angel baby. She consistently sleeps 6 1/2 hours straight at night, gets up to eat and then goes back down for another 3 hours. She is so good for her daddy, every morning after I leave she sleeps most of the morning and then wakes up and wants to play. Hence the pictures of her smiling at the top. Daddy is enjoying his quality time he spends with her every day. It is gong to be tough for him to go back to school and study. I am missing her like crazy as I am back to work until the end of this month. Good news is...I only have 12 more days of school. Hooray!!!
