10 years ago at 4:52 a.m. on April 15th surrounded by my family I became a mom. An experience that most of you know, can’t be sufficiently put into words. I always feel bad for the oldest child because I feel like that where we make most of our mistakes. Taylor has been such a survivor. She truly has blessed my life and been my comfort. She has such a sweet spirit and was born with an innate desire to do what is right. She is caring and so sensitive. She LOVES her family and is often found making cards and writing notes. The other night was I preparing a presentation for a training I had to do at work. The printer (of course!) ran out of ink and I had to run to Wal Mart. I must have made mention that I was tired because when I returned home there was a note that said: Dear Mom: I swept and vacuumed the floor. I cleaned my room and Jordan’s room. I hope this makes you be able to go to bed earlier! What a sweet girl!
She is getting so old and I wish I had scanned some photos of her when she was a baby. I didn’t, so we will make do with recent photos. Taylor loves music and plays the piano and violion. She loves, loves, loves to ski and it is so incredible for me to share in that passion. She loves soccer and swimming. She is an excellent student and loves to read. She loves the gospel and is quite often the one to remind me its time to read scriptures, say family prayer or have family night. She loves activity days and has the best friends in the world!
When Taylor turned 9 she told this was the year she was going to do everything! She has done just that!
