My Little Niece AUNNA!

I get to watch my niece Aunna sometimes and when i do there is never a dull moment! I always love the stages from 1 to 3, they are so fun. She loves getting her picture taken, so sometimes when she is over we have little photo shoots. Here are two of the pictures i took last week. i couldnt help but to post them!

! HaLLoWeeN !

Peyton Was a Dragon off "how to train your dragon" His mask was hard to see through so i quickly painted his face... i think it turned out pretty darn cute!




Daphney (savannah) chasing peyton around! i love my little neice, she looked so beautiful!




My TRIPLETS... okay peyton and the my best friend kira's twins



Little Gavyn... he was the cutest puppy ever! i didnt get any good pictures with his hat on, but he wore it most the night!

In the movie "how to train your dragon" the blue dragon peyton was dressed up as has a girl that rides him... savy must have known haha

Kolby, Peyton, Beautiful Karadee and of coarse MaryEllen made me get in the picture, so thats me as a pirate!

My sister Becky and her kids stopped by, they all looked so cute! i love Baileys Mad-Hatter outfit it was adorable!

Karadee, Peyton and Kolby

Bradon, Amara, Peyton and Baby Jaclyn, we loved see all our friends

Deer Hunt

Cole just had a general Deer tag, so he regualarly wouldnt have shot this little 2 point but it was totally all for peyton, i wish i could have captured his excitement when he got to see it the first time!
This is by far my favorite Picture! they both have grins from ear to ear!

It was so cold up there, we had to bundle up peyton and kolby so much and they still have to spend more time in the campers than we would have liked.
The powerwheels are always re-charged a couple times a day up there, im kinda scared for the day they can ride 4-wheelers

We carved pumpkins up there too, peyton is obsessed!

Easy Mac 4 Dummies

I Did It! 26.2 Miles!

Last weekend My mom and I went to San Francisco. I was picked from a lottery draw to run in the NIKE WOMEN'S MARATHON. We had so much fun and i enjoyed spending time with my mom, shes the best and such a good supporter! i really missed Peyton and Cole while i was gone, but i can now say i ran a marathon!

This picture was in the Market, there were so many fresh goods, i wish i could shop there everyday! I took this picture for Cole though, he is always teasing me that i love cheese to much.


This wall had all the names of the participates, over 30,000




Here's my awesome mom in front of the wall


the wind was crazy, this is Alcatraz across the bay


fresh shrimp in the bay... so so yummy


Start line... early morning!


the streets were packed with runners, i didn't actually cross the start line for about 30 min. after the start.


The Expotique was way energetic and fun! that's where we got my run packet


I saw this girl before I started, she was so cute cheering on her friend "Nicole"


After I finished i was so cold, it rained on us the whole time, but it didn't bother me till i was done, then it got cold fast! the ocean was so pretty and the waves were rolling in!


#1 Fan, i love my mom, she froze to death, but stuck it out for me THANKS MOM!


There i am in the white... i was so happy to see that finish line!


My mom took a bus to different stops and cheered me on, it totally helped! There i go!


This race was such a neat experience! i cant explain the emotions i felt after i finished, i felt so amazing (and hurt)! The stories of people i heard along the way were life changing. The race was a benefit for leukemia and lymphoma society and i feel so privileged i was able to participate!
The course was so breath taking, i ran down market street, through fishermans warf, past Alcatraz, past the golden gate bridge, down the beautiful board walk, through the san francisco zoo and around lakes. I finished next to the beach, the air was so fresh. It was Amazing! Thanks again mom for going with me!

Halloween Pillowcases

Yesterday while peyton was taking his nap, i made a few cute halloween pillowcases. I just loved this fabric when i saw it and couldnt resist! i had quite a bit of extra so i ended up making three, one for peyton and one for his two cousins Gavyn and Savy


I think they turned out pretty darn cute!

Our New "date night" game

BATTLE of the SEXES, Cole and I went to walmart one night cause we were bored and didnt just want to redbox AGAIN! we left with this game and some snack trays... total fun night and yes, Cole won!

FALL

Yesterday Peyton and I went to the Young's pumpkin patch and loaded up on pumpkins!! we had a blast picking all of them out, Peyton rolled one of those big ones to the car all by him self, it was so cute.. he also liked to get the real little ones too


when we got home i let him paint one, he really thought it was awesome that when ya mix blue and yellow he got green :) i love watching him grow

Pancakes at our house!!

I just thought i would share a little bit of what pancakes usually look like at our house, peyton loves to choose his own colors and see how they turn out

Garage floor

A Couple weeks ago cole and I re-did our garage floor, it was easy and kinda fun! cole called me the Sprinkle Princess cause i went a little wild on the flakes :) but the end result is great!!
