We love breaks from summer sales

A couple weeks ago Josh and I were lucky enough to spend the week with his family visiting Palmyra.  It was a much needed and very welcomed break and we were more than excited to show of our little Maddie girl (because we think she's perfect).  First off, can I say that Palmyra is gorgeous, and not exactly what I had pictured.  It was such a quiet, peaceful, still little town full of farmland, houses with big porches, and a lot of green.

One morning Mads woke up a little early so we headed out a morning walk.


The Sacred Grove - so green and so pretty.
 Our little fam at the Smith farm with the Palmyra temple in the background.  It was way past this little girl's bedtime and she was an angel thank goodness.

 The last few days we spent up in the Niagara falls area.  The falls + Whirlpool Jet Boats + outlet shopping = fun days.

This little girl crashed on the flight home.  She was such a trooper to let us drag her around pretty much everywhere foregoing naptimes/ bedtimes/ any of her normal routine.  I realized she totally loves being around people.  Sad for her considering she's now back to hanging out with just Mom all day.

Such a fun trip, and a great way to say farewell to Elder Mikey who heads off for his mission to Taiwan on Wednesday.  A huge thanks to our wonderful Taylor fam!

Big Apple, Little Baby

Last Saturday we spent the day in New York City for our anniversary.  We live so close and it was awesome to be able to jump on the train and get off at Penn Station.  It was Josh's first time and the weather was beautiful.

And who knew having a baby was so popular on the east coast? Or probably anywhere outside of Utah for that matter.  We had so many people comment to us on our baby, including a business man who came up to us and congratulated us on our having a fantastic baby, and a 14 year old riding his bike who yelled to us that we had a "nice baby."  I guess babies aren't quite the every day, every place occurrence here quite like there are back home.
