As of Lately (A little long)

We unfortunately don't have any recent pictures because we had to send our camera in to get fixed. We have been very busy since Natalia's Birthday. My Birthday was on the 26th and we decided that same day to pack up our summer apartment and instead of coming back after Dyan's wedding we just decided to go straight to Utah. It was a crazy day also because Gavin dove head first out of the cart at Target and started throwing up shortly after, so that caused a scare. He seemed completely fine as far as his head he just seemed so lethargic and sick. Between packing and cleaning up throw-up the day went by. Scott was so sweet and had an ice cream cake waiting for me at Arielles apartment.(She was up in Vancouver with us.) He also had some new running shoes set out for me. Which is exactly what I was hoping for.
about an hour and a half down the road we stopped at a restaurant called Cousins. Scott used to go there after district meetings on his mission. The kids had a ball with the animals outside. On our way through we stopped in Boise to see my family. My parents were so kind to take the kids so that we could actually go out and celebrate. Afterward we came back and had my Mom's Bombshell cake which is Divine. Chaddy, Zach and Deena, Peyten, Beckam, and Seth were all there as well.Always a party at the Taylor home. Turns out Gavin just happened to come down with the stomach flu after hitting his head so no worries he is fine. Unfortunately it spread through the kids and definitely stunk up my parents house. We delayed heading up to Rexburg for Scott's sister Dyan's wedding so we wouldn't spread the flu. Thank you so much mom and Dad for opening your place up for refuge.
When we got to Rexburg it was go go go. We were however able to have a girls night at the Marriott the night before Dynie got married and the guys kept the kids. It was fun!! Dynie and Trent Vallace were sealed on July 30th 2010, and it was a beautiful sealing. Andrea arranged for someone to watch Gavin and Cambree during the reception so we were actually able to enjoy it.
The next day was our anniversary. 7 years!!Holy Cow!!!We went to the temple that morning. (so nice) The rest of the day was travels to Utah for Reception #2 in Kaysville for the Vallace side. Despite the pouring rain it was a great set up and very nice. The Vallaces are such great people. After the reception we went to Red Lobster to celebrate Steve's (Scott's Dad) 60th Birthday!It was so late by then and everyone exhausted. We got home to our house around midnight and went straight to bed. Trav and Andrea and family crashed at our place as well as Scott's sis. Lisa. Sunday before church we went out to Mark and Brittney's for Cake and ice cream to finish our celebration from the night before, after that his parents headed home to Bullhead City AZ.
We had a couple of late fun nights with Trav and Andrea and then Travis headed back to Rexburg and Andrea went to Houston to see her family. the night before she left she watched the kids so that Scott and I could go out for our anniversary. We went and saw the movie Inception which is so good, and Cafe Rio (Which is always yummy:))
Scott is back in Vancouver finishing up work, but it has been nice to be home. The kids seem so much more relaxed. Can't wait to get back to a normal routine. Natalia starts first grade on the 25th and Gavin is doing a joyschool that a few of us in the ward are doing. Cambree is starting to talk. So many changes, so much fun!!

Wow! That was a busy time! I am amazed you remembered it all to write it down! Sorry your kids all got the flu. That seems to always happen when we went to visit my parents- we bring illness with us. Congrats on the anniversary! It has gone by so fast!
