Taylor and Chickens

So... we didn't get to see Taylor the day she graduated but we needed to see her and let her know how proud we are of her! So, the next day we ran down to Utah. Kristi and her girls were in Evanston... which kept my youngest 3 in Evanston. They didn't want to leave their cousins, but Jeff, Tim and I made the trek down to Lehi for a super quick visit.

Chicken on a stick... new at Rip's. And YUM. ...and love Jeff's goof ball face in the background.

Brain and Jodi have 4 chickens. Jeff told us all about a Paraguayan trick to put a chicken to sleep... something about tucking your hand under their wing and then swinging them in circles. Then you set them down and their out. So, of course we made him show us. :) Here he is trying to catch a chicken... 

He super swung that chicken in circles. It was pretty hilarious. And... no, it didn't work... Maybe next time...

It was a fast trip, but I'm so glad we got to see Taylor and the rest of our Lehi Atkinson's.

Taylor's Graduation

Jodi was pregnant with Taylor the day Jeff and I got married and now she is a High School graduate. It doesn't quite seem real. She is such a beautiful sweet girl. Sydney graduation was the same day and since Taylor had close to 800 kids in her graduating class we actually weren't able to go to the graduation. Still, we were so sad to miss her party. Thank goodness for social media!

I can't believe this sweet girl is already graduating. She is so kind and loving and so talented. She is going to rock the world.

I wish this cute girl lived a little closer.

Our sweet niece Taylor is growing up way too fast and she is adorable. Also super sweet with our Sydney girl.
