The last picture is Farrah as our "little glow worm" she is pretty jaundice so she has to lay on the uv pad- and she glows- its pretty funny- the picture really doesn't do it justice. :)

Not the best picture...but the only one that I have right now- this was right after she was born. She already looks so different. Ill post recent ones tomorrow. :) Consider this a teaser. :)

Farrah Shelby Tait

2012-01-15T20:24:00.000-08:00

Its a Girl! We are SO excited to welcome Farrah Shelby Tait into our little family. She was born Wednesday night (Jan. 11) at 8:21 pm. She was 7 lbs 2 oz and 19 1/4 in. long. She was 3 weeks early but completely healthy. So here is how things went (I know for a lot of you- this may be pretty boring- but Im mostly recording this for me while it is fresh in my mind- otherwise Ill forget) Wed. morning I woke up just feeling kind of off. I just didn't feel well, so I mostly just laid around and took it easy. Jordan ran some errands for me- cause I wasn't feeling up to it. I had invited the new tenants down stairs to come up for dinner, so I had pasta sauce slow cooking in the crock pot to make lasagna. After I got that cooking- I put the kids down for naps/quiet time and laid down on the couch. I was in the middle of watching greys anatomy when I started getting sharp pains in my stomach and an achy feeling in my lower back. I was able to ignore it for a little while- but the sharp pains started to get bad enough that it brought me to tears. It felt nothing like contractions- so I wasn't sure what was happening. I called Jordan (he was on campus studying) and he insisted on coming home- but I told him I was probably fine and to just wait a little longer. I then called Joe ( my dr. and brother-in-law) and he said that he wanted me to go into the hospital and have them monitor me for a little while and go from there. So I called Jordan back and told him to come get me. I jumped in the shower and then the contractions started- but I still wasn't convinced I was in labor. When I got out of the shower Jordan was home, and Autumn happened to show up- so she helped me get ready to leave for the hospital. Jordan called Tanner (my brother-in-law) and he came over to be with Adelyn and Adric. Jordan and I headed up to the hospital- we were about half way there when Jordan realized he forgot his phone so we turned around to come back and get it- on the way back Jordan asked me if we should just stay home because my contractions had slowed down. I was very close to saying yes...but then I decided that it wouldn't hurt just to have my contractions monitored for a little while. So we went. As soon as we got to the hospital (around 3:30 pm)- the contractions started strong again. They put me in one of their exam rooms and hooked me up to the monitors. I was having very consistant contractions every 2 minutes and they were only getting stronger. Around 4:30ish the nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 3- Joe showed up around 5 and checked me again and I was dilated to a 4 with the baby very low. So at that point he officially admitted me. They moved me into a MUCH more comfortable room- and everything started. They put my IV in and Lane (my favorite CRNA) came in (on his day OFF!) to give me an epidural- I was in a good amount of pain. The epidural only took to my left side at first, but with some adjusting it seemed to move over to my right as well- but it was just a slight tingle. For about an hour it seemed to take the edge off with the contractions...but then the slight tingle seemed to fade...and suddenly my contractions became EXTREMELY painful...and my epidural was no longer providing me with ANY relief. We don't know why...but it was exactly what happened with Adelyn. At the most intense part of labor- the DRUGS DIDN"T WORK! I was in SOOOOOO-OOOO much pain. It was INTENSE back labor. And when it came time to push- I really didn't think I could do it. I was able to get her out in 3 pushes...so it was actually pretty quick...which is a HUGE blessing- because I really didn't think I could do it anymore. The pain was so intense. I am SO very thankful that she was early and small...I could not have done it if she had been as big as Adelyn and Adric. She was face down so she wasn't coming out as smoothly as she otherwise would have. You would think with my 3rd child- and being almost 3 pounds smaller than my other 2- that the delivery would be a piece of cake- yeah- that wasn't the case. It was horrible. HOWEVER, She is here- healthy and well- and I couldn't imagine life without her. Its amazing how much you can love a little being. This is getting really long- so Ill end this now and continue later- but we had a little scare in the hospital- everything turned out fine- so, Ill go into that later. Ill post the only picture I have now- but Ill post more tomorrow along with the continued story. :) WE LOVE FARRAH! And we LOVE all of you!

Its been quite a while.

2011-11-03T16:12:00.000-07:00

SO...I know...its been FOREVER since I last Blogged. I apologize. It was actually a really crazy summer. And as Im sure most of you knew (and if you didn't...you do now) I am pregnant with baby #3. I am 26 weeks- and huge. I hate how much bigger I get compared to most women. At least I have very healthy babies. :) This pregnancy has been BY FAR the easiest. I am so thankful for that. I only threw up ONE time! (pregnancy related anyway- I got a horrible flu- but I don't even want to tell you about that!) Im getting uncomfortable- but it has really been NOTHING compared to my other pregnancies. Such a blessing. We decided not to find out the sex of the baby...much to Jordan's dismay....but he loves me and went along with it...he's a good man. :) Ill tell ya what though...not finding out the sex of the baby sure does save a lot of money. I haven't even spent one penny on this baby yet- if I knew the sex I would have bought stuff I didn't need. We only HAVE to buy an infant car seat (I sold our old one) and a double stroller. Other than that- we can make do with what we have. In Dec. we get to move upstairs! We will now have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, AND a garage! :) YAY! And the best part...a bathroom in the Master bedroom! I don't have to waddle across the apartment to the bathroom every night! SO happy about that. :) Adelyn is in Dance class- and she LOVES it. Its been so fun to watch her grow. She is so smart. She's quickly becoming a little woman- and Im not really loving that...its too soon. :( And Adric- he's not my little baby anymore. Time flies. I feel like I just had him- and now Im not too far away from having a NEW baby! Adric is such a handsome little guy- but boy does he have a TEMPER! Adelyn and I have to steer clear of him when he gets mad- cause he is out to kill. We are living with our own Dr. Jackle and Mr. Hyde. Its amazing how quickly he can change from a sweet loving little boy- and transform into a devils child. :) (That would make Jordan the Devil- not me- Im much too angelic.) :) This is getting kinda long- and you are probably bored- so Ill shorten things up. Halloween was fun- the kids LOVED it- it was a good year with the 2 of them. We all got over the flu just in time for Halloween- however, we probably pushed it more than we should have cause the kids both had bad diarrhea all night. :) So fun. Ill try to do better at keeping up with my blogging. Enjoy the pictures! :)

Magic of Memories Dinner

2011-05-07T11:02:00.000-07:00

So as most of you already know...I attended a charity dinner in Newport Beach last weekend for Paul Mitchell. It would be an understatement to say that it was AMAZING! It was such a great experience for me. I met so many wonderful people and it was so much fun. :) My favorite part was meeting the Osmonds. They were so nice. BUT the ULTIMATE part was when Donny sang puppy love to Betty White...and I got it ALL on video! :) They were sitting just 2 tables ahead of me. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG time. So...if I am successful in uploading the video to my blog- you all can see for yourself why it was so funny. :) Enjoy.

Change of plans...

2011-03-30T21:16:00.000-07:00

So...in some discussion with my learning leader at school we decided it would probably be best for me to wear black since I am representing Paul Mitchell AND I want to look professional. SO here is my new outfit. Let me know what you think. I am on the look out for some killer emerald earrings...so keep an eye out for me. Thanks for all the help girlies!

Shoes?!?

2011-03-29T21:43:00.000-07:00

Ok...so I am still shopping around for the perfect shoes but I NEED to order shoes TOMORROW!!! So HELP ME OUT! Here is another pair of shoes that I kind of like. Lets call these number 3. The lace up leather ones below will be number 1, the olive and leather peep toe shoes will be number 2. I am open to more options...so let me know if you come across anything. Remember it needs to match the style of the dress/belt.

I need help!

2011-03-28T10:43:00.000-07:00

OK...So I was one of 200 students nation wide to be accepted into a big hair competition in Miami and I leave in 2 weeks AND I am stressing out about what to wear. I already bought the dress I am going to wear, but Im having some trouble deciding on shoes. So please help me. I have posted the dress and a couple of shoes that I am considering. Tell me what you think...and if you find any other options PLEASE let me know...or even if you know of a great store/website I should check out. Thanks!

My Uncle Tom

2011-03-21T12:59:00.000-07:00

I would like everyone to know that I am a HORRIBLE niece because I forgot to wish my wonderful uncle Happy Birthday on his birthday (March 11). So this is my attempt to make up for it. I am devoting my blog update to him. A lot of you don't know my uncle (which is a shame...because you are truly missing out) so I will do my best to give you a brief understanding of the kind of man he is. My Uncle Tom is probably the most intelligent person I have ever know. He is BRILLIANT. However, his brilliance goes far beyond smarts...he is so in tune with who he is and he has an amazing ability to read people around him and understand who they are even if they don't understand themselves. He also has the gift of words. He chooses his words so carefully and he can capture you with a few sentences. He can explain and describe things in such a way that you feel what he is saying-you don't just understand what he is saying but you FEEL it. He has also had a very intriguing life. I love hearing about his life experiences. My Uncle Tom can make everyone feel at ease. He is so calming to be near. He doesn't hand out his love and trust freely- you have to earn it- but he is always open. He is absolutely self-less and always bettering himself. (If thats even possible) He is charitable. He is often helping others. He loves my aunt unconditionally and I can't thank him enough for that because she is so deserving. They were made for each other. They would not be complete without each other. They make each other better. I could go on and on about my Uncle Tom but I think I have said enough for you to understand what kind of man he is. I am honored to call him MY Uncle Tom. Uncle doesn't even see like the appropriate title for what he is to me. He is my very own earth angel. I love him so very much and I appreciate all that he is. Happy Belated Birthday Tom.

Our Favorite daughter is 3!

Adric...Future football player.

2011-02-18T07:40:00.000-08:00

so when we came home from church the other day. we walked in the door and Adric bolted down the hall way and tackled Jazzi our cat to the floor and pinned her down. It was SO funny. He had her pinned for at least a couple minutes...he just laid on top of her. It was long enough for me to laugh about it and then go get my camera and take about 5 pictures.

6 years later and I am still madly in love.

Things I love about my wonderful husband

2011-02-09T10:19:00.000-08:00

(in no specific order)

1. I love the father he is to our children.

2. I love that he makes forts with the kids and sleeps in them

3. I love that he loves the outdoors...so much so that he made a snow cave in our yard and slept in it with his friend, Adam. And it was SUPER cold out.

4. I love that he wants me to be happy and he supports me 100%-even when my ambitions get the best of me

5. I love that he speaks italian

6. I love that he watches Italian movies and then for the next week he talks with his hands WAY more than usual.

7. I love that he is always striving to be a better man.

8. I love that it hurts him to see me cry.

9. I love that he pretends to be a big tough manly man, but really he's a tender little boy at heart

10. I love how patient he is.

11. I love when he does the dishes. :)

12. I love Jordan Thomas Tait more than I can ever put into words and I feel so blessed to be his Mrs.'s

So it was Rocker Chic day at school last night...

and I had JUST finished getting ready, when I received a text that school was CANCELLED! I was ticked! So, I had to at least take a picture to prove that I HAD dressed up. I look BAD A! I wouldn't even mess with me! :) I just needed to look angry to complete the look. Ill do better next time. :)

This is how I found Jordan and Adelyn when I came home from school the other night :)

Palisades

2010-10-16T08:40:00.001-07:00

Jordan and I went 4-wheeling in the Palisades last weekend so he could set up for hunting this weekend and it was BEAUTIFUL. The trail we took was VERY steep and extremely rocky. We actually had to make a couple trips because the 4-wheeler wasn't strong enough to pull it all up in one trip. It was so quiet and peaceful up there. You can't tell in the pictures..but we were REALLY high up. We were literally at the top of a mountain. It was nice to have some quality time with Jordan-that's very hard to come by these days. Since I have started school we see very little of each other. It was really fun/cold/and tiring-and we were excited to get back to the kids, but it was worth it. I love my husband! :)

2010-09-27T17:39:00.001-07:00

It's official. I start beauty school Oct. 4...thats MONDAY! Thats only a week! I now have to buy a whole new wardrobe of ALL black. I'm really excited to start. Wish me luck!

Cosmetology School?

2010-09-22T16:24:00.000-07:00

So...I went into Paul Mitchell today to tour the school and to learn more about the school...and I think I might attend! I must be feeling very ambitious lately because in the last couple weeks I have started Piano lessons, decided to audition for Beauty and the Beast musical in Idaho Falls, AND applied to Beauty school. Jordan approached me about having another baby today...and I was surprised. I'm just not ready. I want to do some things for myself for a little while. That may sound SUPER selfish, but I think I just need to do this. I want more kids...just not yet. I have been wanting to go to beauty school for SO long and its only going to get harder. AND if I go now...I can pretty much go for free. I just found out that I qualify for Pell Grants that will pay for almost ALL of it. Jordan will most likely be out of work this winter...so WHY NOT go now?!? Money will be EXTREMELY tight...but like I said...I REALLY feel like I NEED to do this. Tell me what you think!

I just planted flowers in our window well and the next morning this odd flower bloomed- it was curly- so I took a picture of it for my aunt. AND ITS A GOOD THING I TOOK A PICTURE WHEN I DID because a PESKY LITTLE MOUSE broke off EVERY single flower that SAME day! The WHOLE plant is completely destroyed! Im so mad. I was able to enjoy my orange flowers for LESS than 24 hours.

2010-03-24T10:21:00.001-07:00

I am SOO happy that spring is FINALLY here! In light of the new season I decided to change my blog to something fresh, happy, and very spring. I was thinking this morning that the new year should really be on the first day of Spring (vs Jan.1) It just seems so much more appropriate. Spring-for me- symbolizes a new beginning...starting out fresh...rebirth. So... Happy Spring everyone! Things are beginning to look brighter already.

Adelyn's Birthday cake! It took 15 batches of rice krispie treats and a whole lot of time. I couldn't have done it without the help of my wonderful husband and my great friend Jamie. Thank you! I was really happy with the way it turned out. It is the house from "UP", Adelyn's FAVORITE movie. She loved her cake..and that made it all worth it. (but Im never attempting something this hard again!)

We are back!

2010-02-21T17:13:00.000-08:00

Sorry everyone...our computer was broken...but we are finally back. A lot has happened, so I will do my best to catch up.
1. We all got the Swine Flu (except Adric...thankfully) about 2 weeks after Adric was born
2. Adric's Blessing
3. Adric's first Thanksgiving and Christmas
4. Our 5 year wedding anniversary
5. Adelyn's 2nd birthday

*Adric and Adelyn have 3 new cousins! We welcomed 2 more babies into the Tait family-Paul Rocco and Holland Petranella. And my sister Charity had another little baby boy- Elijah Gabriel Watson. There are also a couple of cousins on the way, my sisters' in law, Annie and Deb are both expecting and due this summer! :)

Our new addition

2009-09-18T19:23:00.000-07:00

It's a boy! :) We are so excited to welcome Adric Vance Tait into our family. He is WONDERFUL! Everything about his delivery was perfect. (EXACT OPPOSITE of Adelyn's) I went into the hospital on Wed. morning to get induced at about 8 am. At 9am Joe (a.k.a. Dr. Watson) came in to get everything started. He checked me and I was already at 6 cm on my own- so he broke my water and I kicked into contractions right away with out having to get induce-at about 10 am I was about 8cm and having VERY strong contractions and that's when I got the epidural (which WORKED this time!!!) and it was AMAZING! One hour later I was dilated to a 10 and began to push. I pushed for about 15-20 minutes and then gave birth to a 9 lbs 10 oz- 19 1/2 in. baby boy. The delivery was a PIECE OF CAKE! Everything happened so fast and ran so smoothly. All in all, from start to finish, I was really only in labor for 2 1/2 hours! Thank you SOOO-O much to my WONDERFUL doctor (I love you Joe!) and Thank you to Lane for doing a heck of a job on my epidural. The whole experience was absolutely beautiful. I really couldn't have asked for more. Our little boy is awesome- I am already so taken by him. Adelyn isn't quite sure how to respond to him yet- but she is doing pretty well. I love all of my family very much. Thank you for all your love and support.

More Adric...

AMAZING story!

2009-09-06T11:04:00.001-07:00

So, I have one last thing to share. Something really neat happened with Adelyn a couple days ago. I put Adelyn in time out because she was being naughty and not listening. I put her in her crib and she was screaming her head off when suddenly she went totally silent. I went in to check on her and she was facing the corner just staring at the wall- so I continued to watch her for a minute and she quietly started to talk (but I couldn't hear what she was saying). Finally I said "Adelyn, are you ready to come out?" she then turned around to face me and said "Mommy! Gesu'!" (Jesus in Italian) and then she turned back to the corner and quickly turned back to me and said "oh no! Where did Gesu' go?" Then I took her out of her crib and she walked around her bedroom, shrugging her shoulders, and looking for Gesu'. And she continued to ask me where he went. I got the chills when it happened...and I have them now just re-telling the story. What a beautiful little girl we have. I love her so much. Children are amazing.

Sorry its been a while...

So, I know that I haven't updated the blog in quite some time-but for good reason. I went to Wisconsin and then the day after I got back we moved from Twin Falls back to Rexburg AND then a couple days after we got back I went into pre-term labor. (I was 33 weeks) And I have been on STRICT bed rest since. (not that I really listened) I HAD to get ready for this baby AND finish moving into our apartment. We were not ready for him AT ALL! But now...I can say, that we are ready for him. (mostly) I'm still in denial a little about having another baby. I am extremely uncomfortable and extremely huge. My body feels very ready to have this baby...but I have to wait at least another 7 days because my doctor is OUT OF TOWN ON A HUNTING TRIP!!! (I'm a little bitter) :) I do NOT want another doctor to deliver my baby. I have an induction date set for Sep.17 at 11:00 am. (If I haven't already gone into labor naturally of course) Adelyn talks about her brother a lot. She rubs my belly and says "is that my brother?"as more of a statement than a question. Adelyn is changing and growing up so much lately. We are very curious as to how she will handle a baby in the house. It won't be too long until we find out! 11 days! AHH!!! PLEASE PRAY THAT HE IS SMALL and that my delivery goes well. AND that the epidural will work this time! We love you all. I probably won't post again until after our little boy is born...so be patient with me.

What good grandparents! They did this for at least an hour. We had a system worked out and Adelyn just went up and down the slide over and over and OVER!

And even more Wisconsin...

Adelyn always has the same facial expression. No enthusiasm what so ever. (she gets that from her dad) :)

I may get in trouble for this picture of Jordan and Adelyn because when I took it Jordan said...and I quote: "this better not end up on our blog". But it was too cute to resist. (he is wearing Adelyn's pants on his head.)

This picture of Adelyn sitting on the couch is cute because I went into my room to get dressed and when I came out she was just hanging out on the couch. (I wasn't even aware that she could get up on the couch by herself yet) :) (this was about a month ago...now she has NO problem getting into/onto ANYTHING!)

We would like to take a vote...

2009-06-22T15:32:00.000-07:00

PLEASE do not steal any of the following names! (at least until we officially decide on one) (thank you.) :)
Please vote for the name you like best:
1. Adrik Vance Tait (pernounced: ADD-RICK)
2. Jonas Vance Tait
3. Verric Vance Tait
4. Jonas Reginald Tait
5. Verric Reginald Tait

F.Y.I: I do not like the name Reginald, but it was Jordan's grand/great grandfathers name and he would like to use it. I am also not a huge fan of Vance, but it was my fathers name.
PLEASE VOTE! We really want to decide on a name for this kid! And we are still open to suggestions...so if you have any let us know...we will add it to the pole if we like it. (sorry Todd...Ferrari is not an option) :)

I am definitely pregnant...and we need baby BOY NAMES!!!

I have a quick funny story to share. I was just sitting here with Jordan, checking our blog, and Jordan commented on the song playing (the forest gump song). For those of you who don't already know, that is Jordan's favorite song. He has actually already requested, that if I out live him, he would like it played at his funeral..so this brings me to the point of my story. He asked me if it was one of my favorite songs...and I said yes, but that it made me feel kind of sad. He knows me very well and knew exactly why it made me feel sad...because his response was "because I want it played at my funeral?" and I said yes and then began to CRY! And I mean cry, I wanted to wail out in sadness for NO reason. I am SO PREGNANT! He then responded "don't cry honey, I'm your living husband, sitting right next to you" and then he just hugged me. I am ridiculous.
On another note...we NEED BOY NAMES! If anyone has GOOD suggestions please share them with us. So far we only have one name in mind (to be announced...we don't want it to be stolen)...but we are still very open to suggestions. THANK YOU!

Our Life...

2009-05-13T15:33:00.001-07:00

Things have been kind of crazy lately. We just moved to Twin Falls, ID for the summer (about 2 hrs and 45 minutes from Rexburg), we are pregnant with a baby boy (due in Sep.), Jordan just started a new job (he is in charge of getting a seminary building built), and we had a little (and really I mean huge) pregnancy scare.
Im not a fan of Twin Falls. I thinks its really boring but at least Im within driving distance of Rexburg and my wonderful family. Jordans job is going great. Im really proud of him. Pregnancy has started to get uncomfortable but is going well. Adelyn is getting a MAJOR attitude...and is getting WAY to smart. Its getting difficult to keep up with her.
As far as the pregnancy scare...Ill make a long, exhausting story, short. We went in for an ultra sound and found a very large mass on the babies brain, so we were sent up to the hospital to do an ultrasound with the Radiologist. It was the scariest 3 hours of our lives. While we waited Jordan and I prayed, harder than I think we ever have. By the time we were able to see the Radiologist...what ever the mass was, was gone. They couldn't find it. As you can imagine, we were VERY relieved. Jordan and I believe that this was truly a test of faith for us. It turned out to be a very spiritual experience. We are so thankful for this baby and we hope and pray that we won't come across anything again. They will be doing another ultrasound in a couple of weeks to make sure. Wish us luck. We love you all.

I recorded this with the camera sideways...Im a dork. Sorry.

For those of you that don't have much experience looking at an ultra sound picture...I will try and explain this to you. He has one knee up and the other leg is down, to the right is his bum and smack in the middle of that dark triangle, sticking out between his legs is his...dangle. (as Jordan likes to call it) :) There are no doubts about this one...WE ARE HAVING A BOY! Yay!
