Taylor Gang 4 Lyfff, YO!

Straight up, dawg.

Last Fall we were getting ready to take family pictures with Cade's parents and their fam. Instead of using a traditional color theme or the humdrum white tees and jeans, Kelsey thought of this cute idea to wear matching black hoodies with Taylor Gang printed across the front - made total sense at the time being that our last names are all Taylor and we are pretty much a gang... well, minus the organized crime.  So, doing an awesome job as usual, Dave whipped us all up these comfy matching sweatshirts.  Our fam got one for Cade, one for me, and the kids each got their own zip ups.  I loved we all had matching jackets that look pretty cool and are way soft inside :)

  So for the following four or five months, we wore them everywhere, especially the kiddos.  Store park church errands family parties... if it was chilly and the hoodies were clean, they were usually the first pick for a coat.

Sometime late Winter/early Spring, I spent a day at the mall and afterwards stopped by Mom's to visit Chrish and Kyla.  I was wearing my hoodie and as soon as he saw it, he stared for a few seconds and asked, "Did you seriously wear that around Provo all day?"  Bewildered, I replied, "Ya, so what?  Jo was with me wearing hers too."  He laughed and told me to go home and google the phrase on my 2 year old's jacket...

Taylor Gang:  A Lifestyle that contains getting high off Marijuana, Drunk off Alcohol, and Getting Money.  T.G.O.D. (Taylor Gang Or Die!!!!!)

Epic, fail.

Hahahaha this suddenly explained all the strange looks we ever got when our kids were rockin their hoodies.  Here I thought they were so neat.  I never thought twice when I threw them over Jo and Hagen's church clothes or when they went to the sitter's.  Not gonna lie though, we all still wear them all the time.  But... that awkward moment when your Bishop surprisingly stops by to see how you're doing and he holds his hand out to shake but you've got both your arms wrapped around the graphics "Taylor Gang" on the front of your hoodie....  

But in reality, we are Taylor Gang - we're the Taylor Family Gang where we got each others back.  I absolutely love being a Taylor and I couldn't have married into a better family!

 And all good looking too! ;)

 I am so blessed to have such amazing in-laws, especially Grandma and Grandpa Taylor (rest in peace, Grandpa!)

The kids love and look forward to their weekly Papa and Mama K dates! (this means so much to Cade and I)

Auntie Kels is the best aunt and little sis - gosh, she is going to be such an amazing mother and wife someday!

Uncle E is a lil bodyguard and is so stoked to be an Uncle - at age 7 he proudly said, "You can now call me 'Uncle E'!" :)

T.G.O.D. - and proud of it! ;)
