Recently we took Janna's 2 month old pictures. Time sure is flying by. It seems like just yestereday when we were ooing and awing over her in the hospital room. We always like to wait till about two months to get the professional pictures done. That way we can get smiles! It was sure worth the wait! We believe we got some great ones! We hope you enjoy them!


Since we were there we also had Janna take pictures with Big Brother. J really enjoyed it. These days he is such a HAM. He really did a great job holding Janna, he is such a big boy!


We planned on all matching! It was a fun experience. I really enjoy taking pictures, especially when the kids are happy and also enjoying it. Our photographer was great and he had no problem getting Janna to smile.



We had a coupon for a free enhanced photo so here's the one we picked!

Hike to Millard Canyon Falls



Joshua had the day off...so we decided to spend it in one of our favorite places ...outdoors! The last few years we have really enjoyed going hiking, and now with the kids we love it even more. Joshua Wayne loves to be outside. So far Janna Rose is also enjoying it. As she is becoming more aware, she is really enjoying looking around. This time we hiked up to Millard Canyon Falls. J loves hiking,especailly when it ends up at a water fall :) This one is a pretty easy one about 1.4 beautiful miles.
Since this one was an easy hike we decided to invite Great Grandma Taflinger. She loves to do things with us and the kids. She was so excited to see how much J loves the Falls! As soon as we got to the Falls J got c
ompletely wet, thats what we expected, he does it every time but he does not mind a bit. Great Grandma and J spent about an hour just tossing stones into the water, they had a blast. Janna was looking so very cute in her Hat. She is getting so big.
It was such a beautiful day to be out hiking. We really enjoyed our time. It is so great to stop and reflect on the Gods creation.

Halloween 2008


Happy Halloween. This year was a really fun Halloween. Joshua Wayne started talking about it weeks before, he went through his list of what he wanted to be. His idea for a great costume was changing every day :) It was also a special one for Janna Rose. Her first Halloween! She is only two months, and slept through most of it, but I am sure she will enjoy looking back at pictures as she grows older. We love Holidays and Tradition! Below you will see how we celebrated!
Here is Joshua and Joshua Wayne carving their pumpkin. Joshua Wayne was so happy to get his fingers dirty with all the seeds!


Here is our little Donald Duck. Watching him walk from behind was so cute because he has a little tail that wobbles.
Great Grandma Taflinger enjoyed watching Donald Duck enjoy his Halloween!
Here we are..the Taflingers all ready to go trick or treating! Janna Rose is nice and warm on her 1st HalloweenThis year we went dressed as Grandma and Papa Patrick as young square dancers
Grandma Patrick went as Julie the highschool water polo player..it was pretty funny.
J's Grammy and Papa went as thing 1 and thing 2 from one of his favorite books, Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess. J was a little scared at first but then he enjoyed it.
