Happy Spring!!

I decided to welcome in Spring yesterday adn I got this great..um idea to clear away some viney greenery things outside our house and create my own flower patch.  So Kurtis dug in first(so I didn't get bitten by spiders, of course)and attacked to foilage, then I came in and planted my pretty petunias!  I love it! its a small piece of home for me, tradition you could say.  Every spring me and mom go and purchase TONS of flowers and decorate the yard until it almost disappears behind the colorful array of flowers.  I came out last night and this morning already about 10 times just to look at them.  Nature sure is majestic and brings such joy to my heart.

Layla Kate Jenkins

For those of you who don't know, this is our newest neice, Layla Kate. She was born in December and is sooooooo cute.  WE went home to Ephraim this weekend for Mothers Day, and I guess you could say I had Mothers on the mind!!  I can't wait to be a mom! What a wonderful mom I have.  She is my hero, all the way.  I look up to her in so many way.  I am very blessed to have a wonderful Mom-in-law. But I think of her as a 2nd mom! She is wonderful as well, and taught me to make bread!  What great mother figures I have to look up to!
She loves her uncle Kurtis!

Last week I went up for a beauty show in SLC and had a few minutes so I went out to lunch with Lindsay Hewitt, my forever best gal pal and it was a blast!  Chili's all the way!  Me and my mom are going to Germany in August for Irka's (my foreign exchange sister)wedding... anyways long story shorter-Lindsay decided to come with us and we are so excited! We will go to New York on the 10 fly to London, England the 11th stay and tour England for 2 days, then on to Hamburg, Germany to celebrate with Irka.  What an adventure!

DQ Disaster

So after a great trip to the temple we decided to go to Dairy Queen. Well upon arrival I (Kurtis) was greeted with the most unfortunate news. The local Dairy Queen was out of butterscotch! So I asked for a Kit Kat blizzard, only to be disappointed again. I got the blizzard of the week instead and it was not that great. I went back to the counter and got my sub par blizzard, and vowed to return and receive satisfaction. 

GRADUATION of KURTIS RYSER TAYLOR

This is the bright point in any college grads existence. You work for four years, pay thousands of dollars and you have all of 15 seconds, or less to show case all the effort. But we are sure proud of ourselves when its all over.

This picture says a lot...mostly how cool Kurtis really is... and how beautiful this spring has been, despite  all the nasty, cold weather.
The wolverine is trying to get his head...soon that sign will say Utah Valley University!  Fun fact:  Kurtis' graduating class was the last to graduate from UVSC and the first with UVU on their diplomas-neat huh!! 
Mom and Dad Jenkins came to the fesivities as well as Kurtis' oldest sister Kathryn and husband Jon and their fam of four. 
We are just now figuring out how to do this whole blogging, picture, posting business...so bare with us.  These are more pics of Kurtis' graduation day.  It was so wonderful to see him graduate and to be with family to celebrate this huge accomplishment.  

This is Kurtis and I at the Utah Grizzlies game.  His company paid our way and we didn't argue at all!!  We enjoyed the game as much as we could in between the drunken out bursts of ravenous hockey fans!!  PS. the Grizzlies lost
