Home from the hospital
On Saturday evening both Pam and Isabelle were released from the hospital. The baby had been let go from the NICU Friday evening into Pam's room after she had improved how much she was eating and they took her out from under the light for being jaundice. So, now they are finally home enjoying some time together.

Baby Isabelle
On Monday morning we welcomed our niece,baby Isabelle, into the world with a rush of emotion. She is 6 pounds 11 ounces 19 inches long and has a head full of dark hair! After about 6 hours of labor the baby's heart rate wasn't stable and they took Pam in for an emergency c-section,Jonathan didn't even have time to call anyone and let they know what was happening. The baby wasn't breathing when she was born and was sent off to the NICU. Then doctors discovered that Pam had suffered a jagged tear to her bladder that was causing severe bleeding and they began surgery to stop the bleeding and do necessary repairs. This was a very critical and scary time and she spent hours in surgery and lost a lot of blood. Mike and I were able to see them on Tuesday morning. Pam is looking good but is in a lot of pain and has only been able to hold the baby once. Baby is being watched probably for 1 more day to make sure she eats well and isn't jaundice. They will probably be in the hospital until Friday. I know that a lot of you that read our blog are long time friends of the Taylor family and would like to know this information. Please send your prayers and well wishes on to Pam and Jonathan at this time, they are going through a lot. Seeing their baby in the NICU brought back all the memories of our son Hyrum being there and it is a hard thing for a parent to go through. We love you Pam, Jonathan and Isabelle and we hope you are all home soon!

LA County Fair
We finally made it to the fair! We have been talking about going for the last 3 years or so and haven't been able to find time to go. This week we took the boys out of school a few hours early and away we went to find the funnel cake and BBQ!
Ethan volunteered at a demonstration and then found out that he would be holding a snake! He was so brave. But the look on his face was so funny.
The boys tried these trampolines with a harness.You can do a back flip if you are brave. Of cource the kids just jumped up and down the whole time and Mike & I talked about how our parents never would have paid for us to go on something like this because it is a "waste of money"!
The good old slide on the sratchy sack. This is always a favorite ride.
This is the indoor Winter wonderland. The boys must have gone sledding for a good half hour & the best part is you climb up stairs to get to the top of the hill. How easy is that!!!
Riding the tractor in the big red barn, We liked seeing all the animals. Julia called everything a puppy!
Ice cream! We know the way to this little girls heart! It was a really fun day for everyone. The kids won some goldfish (yea!) and Mike and I were really glad that we had a good family day together.

This has been a really busy week for us. Mike and Ethan finished his car just in time for the Pine Wood Derby on Thursday night. It is the first one Ethan has made and he was so happy to participate. His car did well, finishing in the top half. Mike is the Cubmaster and he put a lot of work into making it a fun and successful event for all the boys.

Bags & Braids
So here it is! This is the custom made diaper bag that I ordered from Eighty Daisies. I love it! They have tons of fabrics to choose from and then they made you a one of a kind bag that is sewn by a mom and the quality is amazing. If you like unique things check out their site.
Mike is going to love carrying this with all the beads and pom-poms don't you think!?
This was my first attempt at a french braid on Julia. Not bad considering she doesn't sit still!

Daddy's Station
Mike is working over the holiday weekend and so we went for a little visit. The kids love to "drive" the engine and pretend to go on a call. We always have fun going to see Dad and it helps the days go by faster for all of us.
