For JOJO and MIMI!!!
I had to post these two cute videos of Lance, mainly for the grandma's - - - JOJO and MIMI who live out of state. Lance loves you guys!
The Taggart's come to town!
Speen's family came into town last week. We had a blast spending time with them, playing games, swimming, shopping for the girls and golfing for the boys. Here are some pic's from the last week.
Lance with Papa!
Lance with Daddy, Mimi and Soph!
At the pool!
Lance hanging out in his chair with his sun hat (which happened to be my purchase of the day at the Children's Place for a whopping .19!!! Yeah, you read it right, 19 cents, what a bargain!)
Now this is Spence's sister Sophia - isn't this a classic picture. She is all ready for the Miss America Pageant swim suit event!
Feeding the ducks and the huge fish at the pond just down the street from our house
Spending 7 hours in the same outlet mall in one day (has to be some sort of a record)!!! Mimi holding Lance in the bjorn while Sophie naps in the stroller
Auntie Em found a few killer deals!
If I had unlimited funds, I would have bought this, isn't it adorable!
Daddy and Lance time! Man, I love Speen's curls!
Thanks for a great week Taggart Clan! We can't wait to see you guys at CHRISTMAS!!!

GNO and B&W Affair
Thursday night, the girls got together and had a "Wedding Party!" We knew this was something that the boys would NOT be interested in participating in. So we had to do it on a night that they were studying. We got together at Kim's house and ate food (each girl had to bring an item that was served at their wedding), took turns looking at everyone's wedding albums and watched all the wedding videos! I love this group of girls! We had a blast...
Is this picture hillarious!?! Kim has these fake rose pedals that we had her decorate her apartment with to set the mood. I know we are kind of dorky, but it makes for some good fun.
Friday night, Spence and I went to a B&W party. We had to dress up only in black and white, and the girls had to wear tons of jewelry! A girl that Spence goes to school with put this party on. It was quite impressive. All of the decorations were black and white, and all of the food was either chocolate or cheese. We had a blast, especially with the whole dressing up aspect of the evening.
Here are some of the girls that helped put on the party.
Here's the sexy couple all decked in our B&W!

Give it up for the coolest baby in the world!!!
Today was Lance's 4 month mark!!! We celebrated it by going to the doctor's. Lance was so cute and happy the whole time, especially after the doctor (after being notified by me that Lance does not prefer being cold) conducted his entire check up on his fleece blanket! It was so sweet. Everything went superb, that is, until the shots. It was so sad to see Lance scream out in pain. However, thank goodness he has a two second rebound rate, and then it was back to being happy again.
We were so proud of our little guy. He measured in at 13.9 lbs (25%) and 25 inches (50%). He is doing TERRIFIC - especially being a premie. He has gained a whopping 8 lbs and 6 inches since birth! WHAT A GUY!

PhOeNiX zOo!
Lucky for Lance and I we have two good friends that have season passes to the zoo (meaning with their pass they can take a friend for free)... so this means we have already been to the zoo TWO different times. Both times we had an absolute BLAST!!! Thanks Jen and Becca.
Checking out the Giraffes... and then onto the zebras!
Resting in the shade! Big fan of the shade in the 100 degree weather!
Lance and I with Becca and Parker
Lance and I with the Petty Family - Jen, Ellia, and Ethan
Seriously though .... such a blast. I just love it here in AZ, so many fun people and things to do!

Tagged
I was tagged by two different friends to share 6 things about myself... I kind of had a hard time thinking of 6 things - but here goes...
1. I love to go in and peek at Lance while he is sleeping, and every time that I do I am just overcome by this incredible burst of love for him. It is amazing the amount
of love you can have for your children. I am so grateful for my two guys. I love them so much.
2. I love to play the guitar. I am not great, but I think it is super fun to play and sing along. Lance loves it when I play my guitar to him, and he especially loves it when daddy sings instead of mommy! I took guitar lessons in Fresno, Ca for 6 months until my teacher quit teaching. I even played "Hotel California" in my recital!
3. Three new things I have started loving lately - my pilates and yoga class at my gym and Law & Order - I know that sounds so nerdy, but I love to "crack the case!"
4. I have started selling cute little tiles. I will post pictures of them. They are quite cute, and would make darling Christmas gifts!
5. I used to have a super hard time drinking water. However, I knew it was important to drink a lot of water while pregnant, so I would put in a little crystal light packet. Well, ok - I now LOVE those crystal light packs and drink at least 96 oz of water a day - I go through a whole box of the mix ins about every 4 days. At least it helps me to drink a lot more water!
6. Have you ever heard of pregnancy amnesia. Well, what about post-pregnancy amnesia. I seriously feel like I have lost my mind since basically getting pregnant. I am so forgetful all the time. I will remember getting some pills out to take, and then like 5 minutes later I can't remember if I have taken them or not. Or - I will set my camera somewhere and a minute later I can't find out. It is like this with everything. I have become the most forgetful person!
Ok - there you go - there are some things about ME. I will TAG the following:
1. Lindsay Ream
2. Jessica Lambert
3. Katie Miller
4. Erika Hanks
5. Jen Petty

Cultural Nights... Another great thing about Thunderbird
This past Saturday was "America Night" at Thunderbird. Every month or so, Thunderbird hosts Cultural Nights where they celebrate one part of the world. This past Saturday night was "America Night" and North and South America was celebrated. They had wonderful food, decorations, and a show put on by the North and South American Clubs.
Here is a picture I took of one of the clubs performing a Mexican dance. As you'll see below, Lance loved looking at the women dancing and at their bright dresses.
Spence held Lance up so he could see better, he couldn't take his eyes off of the action.
There was a really funny fashion show in which students would model the state they came from. Ty Hanks was "Mr. Utah" - you can see him in some missionary attire on the far left. He dressed as a hiker/skiier, and then stripped down to his missionary clothes. It was a very creative fashion show to say the least.
Afterwards we came over to our apartment to celebrate Erika's 26th b-day. She got really embarrassed when we sang to her - as you can see her face matches her shirt, but I still think this is an adorable picture of her. Happy 26th B-day today Er (November 5th)!
Here is the goofy gang. We were quite impressed that the pic turned out being on automatic, not bad!

Lance's First Halloween
We had a ton of fun this Halloween. Lance dressed up as the cutest little chicken! The only bad part - his costume was so thick and warm - and it was still in the 90's! Not a great match, so basically we would put on his costume take some pic's, show him off, and then strip him back down to his onesie to cool off! FYI - it is not usually this hot this time of year!
Here is a picture of Lance and I at our ward party. (note his adorable trick or treat basket he is holding!)
We took Lance to the Thunderkids Halloween party. Lance was our chicken and Spence and I were farmers/cowboys. As you can see, Lance was thrilled about this party!
He was a little happier once he got his binky.
Spence dressed up as an "over-zealous workout instructor" for school. Most of his classmates thought his hair was a wig! They had to pull on it to make sure it was real.
Halloween night we went to $1 bowling - it was a blast.
