Disneyland Day 3

Day 3 was so much fun! We were there from open to close, kind of long day, but we got a lot of good rides in.. well Jarom did (ya I get sick on rides so basically I wait in line, or wait for Jarom to use our fast passes twice)!!! But seriously it was such a fun day! We ran into my hairdresser who happens to be the daughter of my highschool teacher.. so much fun, Jarom ran into his MTC teacher.. and than we also hooked up with one of Jarom's mission buddies that live in CA! Crazy seeing so many people you know when you are so far away from home!




Jarom loves Star Wars so naturally he would love Star Tours!!! He was able to ride that ride about 4 times using fast passes!



Jarom with his mission buddy Dan!


Us with Dan and Coco and their kids! So much fun to catch up with them and see their cute family, we haven't seen them since we got married!


I had to get a picture of this, mostly cause it just looks funny. and because Jarom never holds baby babies.. this is the youngest i have seen him hold, this baby was 4 months old..



This was basically the only big kid scary ride I went on... oh wait I went on Space Mountain and almost threw up.. good times!


This is where we had lunch 2 days in a row, we packed our lunch every day and this was a perfect place to eat, it is in CA Adventures!

Huntington Beach!!!!

For our week in CA we did 4 days of Disneyland, and 2 days at the beach! We tried out Newport beach, but We loved Huntington beach more.. so for 2 days we laid out, read, got in the water... well kind of haha :) looked at amazing sunsets, picked up a ton of sea shells, and basically had the best time!!! I for sure can say Disneyland is great, but my favorite is the Beach!




















Yummiest donuts ever!!!






Our first day at the picture you literally couldn't see the Ocean it was so foggy!


It started to clearn up in the evening!






Disneyland!!!! Day 1 and 2

Alright... Prepare yourself for picture overload!!!! After almost 4 years of marriage Jarom and finally went on a vacation that didn't consist of camping... Don't get me wrong camping is great!!! But this trip was a little farther than 3 hours! :) Jarom loves loves loves Disneyland!! We wanted to take a trip last year for his 30th birthday but it didn't work out.. so we decided to save up and head to California for a week.. The biggest reason was because my amazing husband received his Associates Degree!!! He had a month off before he started into the Bachelors program! I truly can't even tell you how proud I am of Jarom. He made the brave decision to go back to school and now he is succeeding in school and doing so well and getting amazing grades.. He is an example to me in so many ways! Love you babe!!!


Us in front of the Castle!



The amazing firework show, literally it gave me chills, the show was so beautiful!


















California Adventures!!!





In Disneyland Tomorrow's Land they have a building full of all sorts of cool things.. and one floor was dedicated to having a smart home.. and it was all done by Control 4 where Jarom works!!! Pretty Cool!




On the drive to CA!


Bella's Baptism

Jarom's younger brother Phill's daughter got baptized a couple of Saturdays ago!!! We are so proud of her for making the decision to be baptized!




Bella, Jarom, and Emma

Camping!

Every year since Jarom and I got married we have gone camping!!!! This year we went in the middle of September.. as amazing as it was to be with Jarom it was super cold this camping trip.. we were suppose to go for 2 nights... ya I only made it one night.. haha poor Jarom. But it was still so much fun to be with him for the weekend!




As you can see we were busy chopping wood for the next years camping season.. okay Jarom was busy chopping wood.. haha I helped a little!







Gotta love my mountain man! :)



Grandpa Taylor

Jarom's Grandpa passed away at the beginning of September :( I didn't know him super well, but I do know that all of his grand kids loved him very much, especially his grandsons!!! He was the one to teach them to love the outdoors, and to work very hard! I appreciate all the things he taught Jarom.. Jarom's grandpa was the one to originally buy the property that is in the Taylor family, he loved it so much that Jarom and his cousin went up there on the way to the funeral and picked wild flowers, and branches off of a pine tree, they looked beautiful on his casket! Thanks Grandpa Taylor for being an amazing Grandpa! :)




Jarom's brothers girls!



This picture just kind of made us all laugh.. this is of jarom, his brother, and two cousins.. it kind of looks like a boy band picture..


wild flowers





Woodland and 4 years!!!

The weekend before Labor day is Jarom and my's 4 year anniversary from our first date!!! This year we celebrated by staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Woodland, UT (thanks dad)!!! We spent our time hiking, fishing, and eating some amazing food!!! Basically being with Jarom with out any interruptions is pure heaven!!!!!!

Heidi's fish...

Jarom's fish!!!! ;)




Lily Lake, so sososo beautiful, words can't describe the beauty we saw this trip.. and sadly all of our pictures don't do it justice.. but i promise it was amazing!




Eating at the Drug Store in Kamas that is known for having the best burgers in Utah.. as you can see I didn't have one... haha, but Jarom did and he said they were pretty good! and there shakes are awesome too!



I suggest everyone try this place out when they can!



Duck creek Lake, our favorite!!!





Crystal Lake, again breath taking!




We actually hiked to Duck Creek Lake which isn't mentioned on here, but round trip it was about 6 miles!!! It was one of the best hikes I have ever been on! We passed so many lakes, most of them not even named.



Taylor Reunion!!!

Jarom's family was able to come up a couple of times this past summer and one of the times they came up we were able to go visit the Moyle home in Alpine and learn all about Jarom's ancestors!!! It was so much fun and very interesting! Chris (Jarom's Mom) planned an amazing day and told us stories about Jarom's grandparents!!! Thanks for planning such a great day! :)


4th of July!!!

As a Taylor Family Tradition they try and go to their property every 4th of July!!! And.. As always we had a blast!!! Lots of fishing, hanging out at camp, and for me reading by the fire! :)


Papa Taylor and Larissa!!! She had a successful day of fishing! :)
