Best update ever....TAYLOR'S TEST CAME BACK CLEAN!!! She is in remission. Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers! Taylor is still recouperating from her test yesterday she is at home resting now. Thanks everyone!
I'm sooo glad that the Moss's are home from McCall! It feels like I haven't seen them all summer. I have been playing catch-up and spent the last 2 nights hangin' with the kids. On Monday I took Taylor shoe shopping and we picked out the cutest pair of flats for school and then we grabbed some dinner and headed home to update our manicures. haha. She has a bit of a cold and quite a runny nose but I'll tell you that girl doesn't let anything hold her down! We had a great time. Tuesday she was a bit sore after her tests but again she holds her own and won't let anything stop her. Chloe came over and the three of us just took it easy and lounged around. Taylor has a scan tomorrow and hopefully the results will be soon to follow. I'll keep you posted.

Ok...after a month the blog is finally fixed! Thanks Aimee for the help. Taylor is on her way home from McCall/camp as we speak. I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet but Madge said she had a great time. DH surprised her on Friday with an airplane ride home (much better than the 4.5 hours in a car!) and she said it was a bumpy ride! haha. She has a lil bit of a summer cold with a runny nose....yuck! Tuesday she has a couple of tests and Thursday she has a scan. I will do my best to update everyone with any news from the tests.

Taylor is so glad to be done with her treatments. She had a great time over the weekend in McCall but this last treatment is catching up to her and has given her a run for her money. She had a rough day yesterday and a pretty bad night with a bad belly. She was headed to go swimming today and tomorrow. The celebration night of her last treatment was great, Taylor said. DH gave her a special necklace and earrings so she is looking forward to getting her ears pierced again. They boys had even dyed their hair for the occasion. :) Taylor will be having a scan coming up soon. In the meantime.... SWIM! SWIM! SWIM! :)

Taylor had her last treatment this morning!!! YAY!!! She is headed to the pool with Madge now and later on DH and The Boys are making her dinner. What an awesome way to celebrate!!! Great job to Taylor! Thank you to everyone for your love and support!

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

OK...I was telling a tall tale when I said her last treatment was today. There was a power outage at the hopsital so they postponed her treatment for a few days. I will update this again soon! Thanks!
Hey Ya'll...guess what today is??? IT'S JUNE 30TH AND TAYLOR'S LAST CHEMO TREATMENT! That is so awesome! Taylor has been having a great summer. She has been to the pool several times and always has a great time in the water. She had an awesome time at the Relay for Life walk last Friday. As usual Taylor was joined and supported by her loyal fan club including of course her awesome aunties, cool cousins and her BFF Chloe. We had a pedicure party the other night which was followed by a footrub for Taylor..... that girl! :) Taylor and the Boys are looking forward to heading up to McCall for the 4th of July. I will beg for a picture and update with any news/info. Thanks to everyone for all your support and prayers!

Taylor is back at the top of her game! The kids went swimming today with Madge. I thought it was so great she was feeling well enough and had the energy to go to the pool. I wanted to let everyone know she is doing much better.

Wednesday, June 16, 2010

Taylor and the boys are home from the mountains. She has had a rough couple of days. Both yesterday and today have started out with a bad belly. Not a very good way to start off the summer thats for sure. Just wanted to let everyone know. I will try to get on and update with any additional info when it is available. Thanks everyone!

Monday, June 14, 2010

I thought I better get on here and update for everyone. SORRY! Taylor is doing great. She had her last day of school on Tuesday and was able to go. She had a treatment on Wednesday and I'm so excited to mention she is down to 1 treatment!! She is so awesome! Last week Nick gave Taylor a suprise....it was the bicycle he won for perfect attendance! Taylor picked out the blue one. It was very sweet that he gave that to her. I went to McCall this weekend to stay over and here's a rundown: Taylor caught her very first fish! It was a trout she even gutted it! Then we had hobo dinner (apparently a Moss family fave) and DH grilled the fish then the 4 of them devoured it...DH said it was the BEST! She rode her bike to and from Lardo's for lunch yesterday, which was a total of 10.75 miles!! That girl rocks!! I had to come home but the 5 of them are still in the mountains enjoying life! Taylor is so amazing. Her positive outlook on life and every single day is a true inspiration to everyone who knows her and anyone who's luck to meet her! I can't wait to update this and tell you all she's completed all her treatments. What an exciting update that will be!

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

The countdown is on!!! Taylor's last chemo treatment is JUNE 30th!!! She is hanging in there. Her last treatment hasn't made her too sick but has run her energy down a bit. She had a great sleepover with her Dad and Chloe in McCall last weekend and she is looking forward to spending Memorial Day weekend in McCall as well.

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Taylor is doing great! She is headed to the Sugarland concert on Thursday night with Chloe and the girls are super excited! She had treatment last week and it went well. It has given her a bad belly but she's hanging in there. She is ALL DONE with the shots she's been getting in her belly for the last 10 months! YAY!! She will also be done with her chemo the first week in July and Madge said she will have new scans done at that time. Just wanted to make sure ya'll were in the KNOW. :)

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Taylor is hanging in there! She has had a rough few days with this darn cold and sore throat that has been giving her a run for her money. She had her first appointment for physical therapy on her elbow today also and that is followed up with her chemotherapy appointment tomorrow afternoon. Whew! She's had a busy week. Taylor has such a positive attitude with everything that has come her way. She truly is an example to all!!! I will try to update again soon. Maybe Taylor will send me a new glamour shot of her and GusGus. :)

I HAD to get on here and post another update. Taylor is doing sooooo good she was able to have a lunch date with her friend Brenna. The girls chose (drumroll).... MCDONALD'S and the moms said no way! haha. So the 2 girls and 2 moms went to the mall food court so everyone was happy. It was exciting for Taylor and Brenna's counts to be so good that they were able to go to the mall. Taylor also wanted me to post the picture of her and her new little friend. This arangutang was a gift from Sharon and Tonya. Taylor has not put this thing down in 3 days! She luvs it. The arangutang is weighted like a preemie baby with clothes and even a diaper to change! How funny is that? You can see from the picture that it looks so realistic.

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to update and let you all know that Taylor is looking sooooo healthy and feeling great! She stopped by yesterday to say hi and bring me a lil coffee (haha) and she just looks like a million bucks! She was smiling from ear to ear. We picked out this special keychain at work that is also a little picture locket and of course...we put had to put a picture of GusGus in it. :) All in all we had a great little visit.

Monday, April 19, 2010

Taylor survived all 4 days without her Dad at home! woo! jk. She had a bit of a rough week with side effects from her treatment. She didn't have a lot of extra energy and wasn't feeling very well. I just talked to Madge and Taylor is spending the day with her Dad and feeling better. She had a great weekend with her Uncle Brad and Aunt Nette visiting and running all over to the boys soccer games and Hazens scrimmage on Saturday. Then on Saturday night she was having some girly time with her BFF Chloe.

Thursday, April 8, 2010



Hey Everyone! I was at lunch today and got this message from Taylor: enjoy your lunch, I am! Attached to the message was the first picture. :) That girl has a great sense of humor and she is doing very well. The next picture was so cute I just had to post it. She is receiving her treatment today and then will only have 4 remaining. Soooo cool. Enjoy the pics!

Wednesday, April 7, 2010


Taylor is doing soooo great! She was able to go out of town for spring break! They went to Arizona for 5 days! Taylor had a great time in the pool playing with the boys. The only side effect from all that sun was a couple of fever blisters. :( We had a little date the other day and went to Target to get some new nail polish...we had to have purple. The she had tutoring (her favorite), painted her toes and watched a movie. We had a great time. She was a little tired but managed to stay awake for the entire movie.

Monday, March 22, 2010

Hey Everybody! Ok, I'm so excited to post this.... Taylor only has 5 treatments left! Isn't that amazing?!? She is doing so well with all of her treatments and if everything goes as planned she will be all done very soon! She only has the chemo every 3 weeks so it's still August. She just had her last treatment last Wednesday. The first few days after her treatment are pretty good but sometimes that darn chemo catches up to her and gives her a bad belly and wears her down a bit. But, you know Taylor......she's a TROOPER! She stopped by the store today to say hi and she looks so cute in her little capris and of course on the way over she stopped and had a vanilla latte! haha. She's heading to Colorado this weekend (do they have a starbucks in Rifle Aunt Nette?). Just wanted to let everyone know how awesome she is doing! She said also to tell you all thank you very much for thinking of her and praying for her! xoxo

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Hi Everyone!!! I'm sitting here with Taylor and she asked me to update her blog....so here we are. I don't have much to write except that her hair is soooo stinkin' cute and she's having a great day. She has a breathing treatment tomorrow but don't mention it to her...she can't stand the breathing treatments! :) Afterwards I'm going to bribe her to bring me starbucks in exchange for this update. haha. Hope to get a new picture up soon!

Tuesday, March 2, 2010



I just got off the phone with Madge and Taylor is having a rough few days since her last round of chemo. She has had a bad belly already this morning. She did have a vanilla italian soda though (her new favorite) and Madge said she had it gone before they even got home. I couldn't bribe Taylor to come to the phone this morning. She was too busy watching Animal Planet. haha. I will post a new picture of her from her weekend playdate with Chloe and of course the latest glamour shot of Gus.

Thursday, February 25, 2010

Taylor is hangin' in there! She still has a pretty bad cold doggonit. We had a play date the other night and her energy level was great but her appetite wasn't much. We had pizza then she made me rub her feet and comb her hair for an hour. Silly girl. Her hair is getting so long though. I have recently discovered Taylor loves all the shows on TLC (the little people ones, 19 kids and counting and the baby ones). So, of course we had a Little Couple marathon. haha. It was a great time. Sorry...no new pics. I will beg her though! ha

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

We made it to McCall on Saturday. Taylor and I headed up the hill on our own Saturday afternoon but not before we stopped at Starbucks for carmel latte's. We had a great time listening to the Selena Gomez cd and of course.... Taylor Swift. :) We picked up the keys and had the car unpacked by the time Madge and DH arrived with the boys. We played in the snow for a bit Saturday evening until dark. Taylor was doing pretty good but the snow pants rubbed on her port a litle so that was a bit uncomfortable for her. We ordered pizza Saturday night and the kids played WII fit until bedtime. We went indoor swimming on Sunday and Taylor really enjoyed that. Then the kids went sledding and had a snow ball fight. After that Taylor's cold got the best of her. She had a rough afternoon and evening. She is such a trooper though. Not a single complaint. Monday started out rough also...with a bloody nose. We packed up the house grabbed some lunch and headed home. Needless to say in between a runny nose and bad belly Taylor managed to still have a great weekend.

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Quick update. Taylor is doing her best to rebound from having the flu last week but seems has really low energy especially after her chemotherapy last Thursday. Madge said she was sleeping last night at 7 watching American Idol with her Dad. She has also had a rough start to her days with a bad belly since her last treatment. Not a fun way for our girl to start her days. Madge said today we might put our trip to McCall on hold also if Taylor's energy doesn't improve. Keep her in your thoughts and send her an email...she luvs that! Thanks everyone!


This is about a week old but how cute is she!

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Taylor is doing good! She had a long weekend with her cousins Morgan and Chelsea in town and they had so much fun! Chelsea treated Taylor to the cutest charm bracelet...spoiled! :) We went to On the Border for lunch Sunday and by Sunday night Taylor was tired. Madge said she had to wake her up at 10 even for her shot. haha. Our trip to Hawaii was cancelled but we are hoping to get up to McCall this weekend for some fun. Taylor has a checkup Thursday and I will try to get any updates from that posted before we hit the sledding hill. :)

Thursday, February 4, 2010

Taylor is feeling better everyday. We celebrated Madge's birthday last night and we had a great time. Taylor ate lots of fettucine alfredo and then she and the boys made a cake for Madge (with help from DH of course!). They only managed to pull the moving cake beaters out of the batter one time. haha. Taylor had a great time laughing and being silly and helping Madge enjoy her birthday. Taylor is scheduled to have chemotherapy today.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

I just wanted to let everyone know that Taylor is feeling quite a bit better today. Madge told me her throat is still pretty sore but she is feeling better than yesterday. She was scheduled for chemotherapy yesterday but they postponed it until tomorrow since she had been running a fever. Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers for TayTay!!

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Taylor is having a rough couple of days. She had mentioned to Margaret she had a sore throat on Sunday night. She headed to school Monday and was there all day but at the end of the day she had a fever and pretty sore throat. Taylor was at the hospital for most of Monday night. She started off Tuesday with a bad belly also. Madge said it's not strep throat but a case of the flu. Keep her in your thoughts. I will do my best to update this as I can.

Taylor is at school today! Taylor has been doing so well that she has been able to go to school lately for a bit. Today they are going on a field trip to the Boise Philharmonic. Perfect day to go to school. haha. Here is a picture of Taylor and Gus from the weekend....she had a great time with her Aunt Terrie and brothers while Mom and Dad were out of town.

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Taylor is doing good! She was at the doctors yesterday for blood work and Madge said that she is great! She had a rough morning a couple of days ago but pulled through the day with flying colors. Her hair is still growing....it looks so cute! I will bribe her with some "target" popcorn for a picture to post! haha

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

I have been such a slacker to get back here and post. Sorry ya'll! Taylor is doing very well! She is so strong! I'm happy to report that she is continuing on her road to recovery. Along the way she's been having a lots of playdates with Chloe and plenty of mexican food and cheeseburgers. Her hair is even growing back in and it looks so cute sometimes she wears it a little bit spiky. She's a doll! She is at treatment today and will be home tonight.
