Cory, Taylor, & Holdyn Monty: 3fers

About the Montys

Cory & I have been married for almost 4 years & we cannot get enough of our little boy! The last 4 years have flown by, but I have never learned so much! Or loved so much :) On a daily basis, I am overwhelmed with love for these boys who have taught me so much & can make me laugh on even my worst day. I try very hard not to take for granted how lucky I am to have a healthy son & husband. All I’ve ever wanted was this family… I’ve been dreaming of it for 10 years ☻

This is us!

Daddy --- Hilarious, outgoing, motorcycles, #1 Daddy, fishing, LOUD!, snowboarding, wrestling or snuggling his little buddy, friendly, running, goofy, nature, ♥’s us oh so much!

Mommy --- Devoted to my family, reading, luv the ☼, sarcastic, luv my friends, homebody, music, yummy food!, empathetic, Tivo changed my life, swimming, ♥ my boys!

Holdyn --- Charming, on the go, loves anything outside, cautious, bossy, helpful, motorcycle rides with dad & Carter, sports prodigy, social, silly, LOUD!, luvs his Little Bear show, dancing, excellent manners, hilarious, eats anything… & he will choose a good piece of bread over candy any day, considerate, quick tempered, loves his aunties, so smart, ♥’s his Mommy & Daddy “to pieces & pieces!”

We’ve had a fun (but sick filled) winter that included a CA trip & the very best Christmas I’ve ever had, however Summer could not come fast enough for us! Holdyn wants to get outside & jump, swim, run, throw balls, swing, bounce, & slide!! Mom & Dad want to camp, float the river, BBQ, & LIVE in the sun!

☼☼ We can’t wait! ☼☼

3 Joys:
1) Holdyn is the #1 Joy!
2) Cory. I still get butterflies when I am on my way home from work, knowing I get to see him soon. I get butterflies everyday over him and I feel so lucky that after 9 years, I still get to feel that!
3) TV. After I put Holdyn to bed, I love curling up on the couch and getting lost in one of my shows!
3 fears:
1) Losing someone I love
2) Not being here to see Holdyn grow up
3) Holdyn hurting in any way!
3 obsessions:
1) Biting Holdyn. I ask him for a bite and he puts his cheek next to my mouth so I can bite him. I love it!
2) Pizza Benders and Salad from Italian Village. Ask my husband... I ask to go there every occasion I can! Anniversary, birthday, Christmas!
3) TV. I have to watch at least one show a night to get my brain relaxed!
3 surprising facts:
1) We don't have internet. I have it at work and that's all I need.
2) My house is messy. But only because I would rather play with Holdyn than clean!
3) I so want to go back to school and can't wait to get started again when we can afford it. It's not that I like school, but I really know I need to get my degree so that I can do something that I love to do, part time and when Holdyn starts school of course!

I am tagging Nicole, Sara, Kirby, Jessie!!

Nonda's Wife said...: Taylor - I spent the past weekend with your Mom and little sister. I just adore them. It's funny how we put together that I had seen your blog and that you are Diane's daughter. We can save that story for offline. I love what you had to say in this post. We are so much alike. I would much rather play with the kids than clean and I have to watch TV to turn off my brain too, every night to be exact. I am having a nightly affair with redbox and I told your Mom I would give you the promo codes I found so you could get free movies! I bet you feel so violated right now hearing we talked about you, sorry! She has such wonderful things to say about your family and she sure loves that sweet Holdyn. I can totally see why! He is so stinkin' cute.; August 6, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Jess said...: Hey there, Taylor... fun stuff to read. You and Cory are so cute! I've always adored that kid, so sweet. I am with you on the Italian Village and the urge to bite Holden. Yum on both accounts.

So, I'd like to say I just did this super quick after you tagged me... but I've already done this one! Click here to read.

Love,

**Our Adventures**

We had a fantastic winter filled with some of the most joyous holiday fun! Cory and I cannot believe the amount of fun we had celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter with Holdyn. He makes everything so much more magical. He has added so much meaning to not only our special holidays, but even our day to day activities are so much more magical than ever before. Sledding down our snowboard ramps, looking at Christmas lights, making cookies, chucking snow, wrapping presents, snuggling up while watching the snow… doing all of these things with him made us even more aware of how appreciative we are to have him and each other. He is so refreshing. I can’t even begin to explain the excitement Cory and I felt as we did our “parental duties” on Christmas Eve. It was even better than when we were kids. During Christmas time, every time we were in the car, there was a constant yelling of “Lights! Lights! Lights!” coming from the back seat. We are having so much fun… not only with Holdyn, but with each other. I don’t think we’ve ever had this much fun in the 10 years… yes 10 years this September!... we’ve known each other. It is not always sunshine and rainbows :) But I love going through every new phase in our relationship, even if it’s not a fun one! I know we are learning lessons and the important thing is that we are growing together. Through all of the trials this last winter, we have really stood united, had fun, and not forgotten to act a little goofy. I truly believe that all you need is love, and THAT… we have sooo much of for each other. Winter was a blast, but we are ready for Summer!!! We are having so much fun swimming, dirt digging, playing at parks, BBQing, sidewalk chalking, fireworks, River Sundays, and a Disneyland/SeaWorld trip will be finishing off our Summer :) I can hardly wait!!
