Daddy gets a day at HOME


And one of our favorite things to do is make popcorn and watch cartoons!

Zoe's B-Day

She turned 2yrs old on March 23rd 2008. We had a little cake that Jackson decorated. Of course she got Dora stuff. Her brothers got her a Backyardagins ball (she loves to play catch).

Baby Dawson

He arrived a little early but just-in-time. Born on Feb 7th 2008.

October 2007

Dear Family

It was such a highlight of our summer to see all of you. We sure enjoyed the Family Reunion. Thanks Jay and everyone else to a great successful Reunion. We love Family.

Zoe is 18 months now going on 3. One of her first words were Daddy. She loves her Daddy. She also LOVES Dora. She can say Dora, Dora and Back Pack and Boots. It is amazing to us as our boys didn’t talk until almost 2. She is all girl. She loves to try and put makeup on when mom is doing it. She loves wrapping her baby’s up and pretending to cry for them. Zoe loves the “Look at my Belly” song and dances to it showing off her belly. She is a pure delight and joy in our home.

Zachary is now 3 years old and has not successful peeded on the potty yet. Zachary has a mind and it is his. He is has a sweet, tender side to him. He loves his family. He is very independent and plays with his Rescue Hero’s and Star Wars guys all the time. He loves to go on walks and adventures outside. His best friend is Jackson and he can’t wait until he comes home from school everyday. Zachary is growing up to be a very obedient child. We love him so much.

Jackson is 5 years old and started Kindergarten. He loves his Teacher Ms. Shelton. Jackson is reading very well. He enjoys art and music and PE. We were so proud of him. He got a sticker everyday for being good for the month of Sept. He got a bag of candy for doing so well. He and another boy were the only two in the class that got the candy bag. He is a gentle obedient child. He is a peace maker and loves everyone. He is a great big brother.

Justin is doing well. He is very busy. Justin’s new calling is President of Sunday School. He is President of all the Residents in the hospital. He has made some wonderful changes in the hospital. He has been working in the Ped’s ICU this month, so it has been very taxing. He would work 30 hrs. Strait every fourth night. We are glad he has that month done. He is going to turn his application in for his Masters of Health Administration this month. We’ll see what happens. Justin finds time in his busy schedule to be a wonderful father and husband. The other day I came home and he and the boys surprised me with a doz. Roses. So sweet. He plays in the castle with the boys. They play dodge ball together. He loves his children and they love him. We love our Daddy.

Janis is doing well. I have been acting President for the last 17 weeks. I am usually the 1st counselor in RS but the President has been flat on her back for 17 weeks. So, I have had a crash course of what it feels like to be a President. I am glad Cecia is starting to feel better in the last few days. I see the light. I have come to really love the women of the ward unconditionally. I plan on teaching a mini class with the help of Susan and her vinyl. I am pregnant with our fourth child. We find out in 5 days what the sex of the child will be. We are very excited to have number 4. I am feeling great now. Being a mom of 4 will be a new challenge I am sure.

Justin has a week off in November so we will probably go to Williamsburg and possibly to N. Carolina. We love having Colleen so close. It was so fun when mom and Colleen and the girls came for a visit. Our lives are full of joy and love. We are so thankful for all we have as we know it all comes from our Heavenly Father. We love you all and are so thankful to be part of the Taylor family.

Love Janis Justin Jackson Zachary and Zoe and ? Aden

It can't come soon enough!
