Taylor Nicole Brand

8 pounds 4 ounces

20 inches long

God's creation just takes my breath away. The most
beautiful baby from the moment she took her first
breath. On september 22nd at six thirty five in the
morning baby taylor was born. Her mommy was a
trooper of course and was up walking around the
same day, she makes it look so easy. Already much love
surrounds this beautiful baby girl. Her big sissy was
so excited to meet her, every few seconds she would
have to lean down and give her baby sissy a kiss,
it was priceless.

And the Hagler family keeps growing
this will be my parents six grandchild with the
seventh on the way. what a gift family is
and the bigger they get the more dis functional
and precious they are. I wouldn't trade
my family for anything each individual person
holds such a special place in my heart.

one year aniversary

Happy one year aniversary

our beautiful wedding cake i can't believe it lasted a whole year


I can't belive that a year has gone by since we

said our vows and promises forever to eachother.

You still treat me like a princess

and make me more of the women that God

has intended me to be. You are the

thief of my heart, my warrior, my prince,

and my heart will foever be yours

thank you for challenging me everday, for giving me

room to grow, yet at the same time showing me

how to push forward. I thank God for

you everyday and can't wait to grow even deeper in our love.

love you most!

One last silly night before we all go down the different paths the Lord has for us.









mostly all the girls except for Tanya we miss you.







mostly all the boys except daniel we miss you too.








pretty sure joel just did something naughty








"I am the blank of the united states" we so won this game








very intense about the game we are all very competitive








such a bittersweet night








so special to my heart









Grandpa laugh anyone



Oh the many nights we have all shared together and now the time has come for us to have one last night and go our separate ways. I know that each one of us is walking in bigger and better things and I know that the friendships that have been deepened over the years will only continue to grow deeper no matter where this life takes us. But still the goodbyes are hard and the tears that form are many. So many cherished moments so many laughs and tears that will leave fingerprints on our hearts for eternity. May God bless each one of us as we walk down the path He has marked out for us. Lets all promise to dream big, take big risk, and never fear falling for it is through our mistakes that we become stronger. I love you all so much. My heart and prayers will be with you always.

just another ordinary day

Where to begin lets start with labor day weekend. My husband and i dropped most of our lives back in meddy town and headed to p-town for a exciting weekend with my family and friends. it was my best friends birthday and to get to celebrate with her was such a blast. Now if anyone knows my family you would know that anytime with them is an adventure to say the least but Jeffrey and I did not find our adventure in the squablings of my family we found a whole different kind of adventure one that will stay with us for awhile, a baby. yup were pregnant and it is our first one so no words could capture what we are both feeling right now. I am excited for the journey the Lord has ahead for us. I know even now He is equipping us to take care of this precious little one He has placed in our lives. Telling our parents will probably be one of the things that marks this beginning stage of our journey. To tell my parents i got a gift box and inside was a onsie that said "here comes trouble" and a grandparents to be card the awe in there faces was priceless. Jeffrey told his parents by bring over a black rock onsie his mom had made and proceeded to tell her that she would need to make more, tears formed in her eyes it was beautiful. As of late my days consist of sleep, sleep, sleep and more sleep. I know they told me i would be tired but i didn't know just how tired. well in here lies the beginning chapter of a life filled with joy, tears, and learning. Now we take our makers hand and allow him to lead us on a path unknown. He has given us a gift that no other can replace.
