In the afternoon we headed to the Fladelands and spent time BSing and letting the kids play.

Friday morning we headed out to SLC. We spent 4 days out there playing. I got lots of shopping done and peyton got lots of playing done. We met our friends Landon and Maria, so peyton was extra excited to play with Kolby the whole time!

Temple Lights

Peyton known for "my legs are tired" so i ended up carrying him alot. I dont know how much longer this is going to be able to work... he weighs like 45lbs

Peyton and I helped dress up my father-in-law into a girl, it was histarical

Peyton was a cute little ninja, he played the part like a champ.

This is peytons cousin Karidee, him and his best friend Kolby, which was an adorable little jack sparow!

Hunting through October

2011-11-03T10:16:00.000-07:00

The Second week of October at Red Canyon, about a foot of snow, it was crazy!

Peyton was a trooper one sat. we decided to get up at 5 to go elk hunting, he was bright eyed and bushy tailed till bout 10 and then he was OUT!

Cole's Birthday was while we were up at deer camp, I let Peyton and Kolby decorate the camper and sing happy birthday for him. It was so cute! they had a blast.

Here's our little two point :) we're 2 for 2 (2 two points in two years) Cole actually shot it within the first 20 min of opening morning.

we carved pumpkins up on the mountain, i like that cause the mess stays up there :)

REALLY?? this is what the boys did alot up camping, we would beg them to go outside and ride their fourwheelers. We often used the excuse the IPADS are dead, we need to charge them.

We had so much fun camping, and cole had a great birthday, all for all OCTOBER was a pretty good month!

Summer

2011-11-03T09:53:00.000-07:00

I just had to post this picture, Can you say "JUST LIKE DADDY!"

Peytons already 5, time really flys! he was barely two when i met him and it feels like yesterday! We had a little PIRATE party for him w/ cupcakes and fireworks. It turned out so good. (other than one firework that made us all feel like we were in desert storm:) )

Amara, Tracen, Peyton, Savannah, Tailee, Ataya, Bradon, Jhett & Kolby

I made a treasure map and all of them followed it to their treasure.. it was so cute when they found it!

Love Ya Peyton!

Goodrich Reunion

2011-06-28T09:32:00.000-07:00

We left our camper up on the Mtn. after camping with our friends for the GOODRICH reunion, this last weekend we had our First annual reunion with my family. We decided that since we are all getting older and such, we needed to start having a reunion (weird that we are already to that point). We were up there for about 5 days and had so much fun. We are offically camped out for a while after two weeks of it... but the moments peyton had were priceless. He had so much fun playing with all of his cousins, and all of us had fun sitting around and Talking.

Peyton loves his cousin Chandler, he totally wants to be like him, it is so adorable... and to boot: chandler is a really good kid!

My dad and his clan.. haha i think he has most his grandkids on there, he is missing about 8 i think

I tried all weekend to steal this cutie... my neice Olivia totallly has a place in my heart, i swear god sent her to the wrong home, she was suppost to be mine!

of coarse i couldnt stop it... okay, i allowed it, but he took his bike through that same mud hole that he rode his 4wheeler through, he had so much fun showing off for everyone. Oh and he's not wearing gloves... that is straight mud haha

Camping with friends

2011-06-28T09:18:00.000-07:00

A couple of weekends ago we went camping with our friends, it was so much fun! We finally let the boys ride there fourwheelers through the big mud hole close by. They had a blast!

I'm so grateful to be where i am in life and so happy i have my husband by my side and a healthy, CUTE and such a good little step son!

-the time i got to spend with my Grandma before she passed away.
-technology... i would die doing laundry by hand, not having a dish washer OH and also Medical Technologies, when they can tell you whats UP from DOWN (or just help you understand).

-Coconut-Creme Coffee Mate (yes i take in like 2,000 calories a morning ;) )
-spring cleaning
-Peytons wrestling... he is so much fun to watch

-Doing my hair... just got it high lighted and am loving it!
-Ice Cream at night with my hubby before bed

the 4 Wheeler

2011-04-06T07:48:00.000-07:00

We decided it was time... peyton could have a "real" 4-wheeler, He is on cloud nine! I'm hoping this doesnt mean to many trips to the ER! Just in one afternoon he learned a ton on how to handle the thing. Still Cole and me were biting our lip watching him. Our little dare devil wants to race it, jump it and pop wheelies. haha its hillarious!

This is the first time he road it.. and he yelled with his arms up like that "WAHOOO!"

We went with his friend Kolby to the sand dunes... they are planning to switch 4-wheelers in this pic,
they totally had a blast!

BEST FRIENDS! (spoiled rotten friends :) )

More Wrestling- Rangely Tournament

2011-04-06T07:34:00.000-07:00

Wrestling really has been a huge part of our lives right now, and i cant help but brag for my little guy! We had a tournament in Rangely Colorado last weekend and Peyton swept' it! he did so good and went home with a gold metal! -his favorite might I add

This is Peyton, Logan and Hyden... his wrestling buddies, they all won first place!

His First bracket sheet to take home

you can tell by that smile he is pretty proud with his Champion Shirt

Spring Weather

2011-04-01T07:30:00.000-07:00

We finally got a day we could spend outside! Peyton and his cousin Savannah had so much fun riding bikes, playing in the sandbox and just enjoying the warmth. I really loved having my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law around. We laid out blankets on the lawn and just enjoyed eachothers company.

My nephew Gavyn is such a cutie... he loved being outside too

Monster Truck World Final.. VEGAS

2011-04-01T07:10:00.000-07:00

We have been planning this trip for a long time with our friends landon, maria and kolby. We had such a great weekend, Our hotel was great, it had a bowling ally... which the boys LOVED!!! movie theater, and amazing places to eat. Peyton had the time of his life at Monster Trucks. I enjoyed the SPA and Shopping. We also got to spend some time with coles aunt and uncle that live down there... we just dont get to see them enough, they are such amazing people! It was way windy all weekend so we didnt get as much time in the pool as we were hoping for, but peyton still got in everyday. I'm thinking this might have to be an annual thing.

He picked out that sick hat himself. and those are his eltoro loco horns he's throwin up HAHA

"I pledge"... we got the hand placement a little wrong:)

The bestest friends in the whole world!

cole and I

He was having the time of his life... this is in the middle, he turned around and said "hi dad" with the biggest grin.

WRESTLING

2011-03-17T08:14:00.000-07:00

So something that has kinda consumed our lives for the last month has been wrestling. Peyton started his first year of it about a month ago. He does really good, he has only lost two matches and neither of them were pins, and all of his wins were with Pins. He is really great at staying off his back. Grandpa rick has taught him lost of tricks to use. Its the cutest thing ever! On his matches he smiles the whole time, he really loves it. During his first match in the middle, he looked up at me and said "I'm the best!" it was hillarious. One thing he doesn't lack is convidence! I'm so SO pround of my little Peyton, he really is quite the wrestler... not to mention the littlest.

He loves getting metals! He is the proudest 4 yr old you'll ever see!

Peyton's #1 Fan- Grandpa Rick!

PINNED!

Disneyland for NEW YEARS!

2011-01-05T11:51:00.000-08:00

HAPPY 2011! at the last min. we decided to take a trip to disneyland for a few days. We had a blast, and most importantly PEYTON had an amazing time! he still is on cloud nine! It seemed extra magical since Christmas was still up. If you ask Peyton, his favorite ride was "Tower of Terror" he was barely tall enough when you counted his inch of spikey hair! We swam for hours everyday, morning and night!

The three of us in front of the castle.

Peyton loved the plane ride! although he slept most of it both ways, the take off was a hit for him though

Givin Lighting McQueen some love

Peyton loved all the rides!

Deer Hunt

2010-11-03T07:45:00.000-07:00

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!

I Did It! 26.2 Miles!

2010-10-19T08:27:00.001-07:00

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!

Gilbergs Came to Visit!

2010-07-08T07:31:00.001-07:00

This post is a little late, but i still wanted to post some of the cute pictures of when my sister and her family came to visit about a month ago, we really enjoyed them staying with us!!!

Olivia Jeanne!!! so is growing up so so fast!

Peyton and his side kick Eliza.. aka ellie boo baa

Crayola tub colors are so much fun, they really liked having a "pool" in the house!

It was a little bit of a change cooking for 9 instead of 3, it was way fun though

thanks sara for staying with us, we had a blast!

Emergancy Room!!!!

2010-06-29T09:29:00.001-07:00

Yep... we spent sunday morning at the ER, Peyton took a good spill on his bike, he was being his wild self when he jumped the curb for the about 6th time his face met the rockchipped road! the pictures just dont do justice! we were thinking maybe we wouldnt go until we noticed the hole in his upper lip went all the way threw.

He got his First stitch.... yep just one! they said that was enough to make it not scare so bad, and the inside of the lip would heel okay on its own.

They taped a cotton ball with local numbing stuff so he wouldnt have to get a shot... only thing was it had to stay on there for 45min. it was a long time for my little 3 year old.

He was so so so good in there, he handled it like a champ! All the nurses couldnt believe my little squirt rides with no training wheels... let alone has been doing it for 6 months!

We have been spending alot of time at the lake... both days on the beach and also days with the boat. Peyton has been really enjoying it!!

He was so tired he even took a nap in the middle of the lake as we were trolling for fish.

The kids really like this mud hole! it was so fun to just let them get dirty!

The princess AVERY herself. She was so cute and was getting a little daring... both with mud and the water!

Those are yellow shorts... not brown!

2010-05-24T09:04:00.000-07:00

This weekend was full of fun and was way busy!!

Saturday morning Peyton and i ran a 5 miler race... at the end i got peyton out of the stroller and let him run the finish line, he was so proud and got a medal! it was a pretty morning down dryfork and was a refreshing run!

Saturday night we had some friends over for dinner and as it got later maria and I decided Kolby could spend the night! The boys had such a blast... they really enjoyed getting up together and playing like crazy!

Sunday we had coles sister and mom over for a BBQ and peyton got to play with his cousins for hours.. we had so much fun with all our friends and family this weekend, thanks everyone for such a great time! and i think peyton really enjoyed it too... he told me he was ready for bed about 6 on sunday night;)

2010-04-26T09:08:00.001-07:00

I DID IT!!!! i ran two 1/2 marathons in two consecutive saturdays... i think i must be crazy! The first one i ran was the Salt Lake 1/2, it was way fun, and such a good experiance for a first race, i enjoyed myself and got across the finish line :) The second one i went down south to hurricane and ran with my sister sara, it was great to have someone next to you! She had been told it was a down hill race, and i think we both agree we dis-like that person, there were some narly hills.. but we finished. It was hard, but we ran it!!! Thanks sara for always helping me get off the couch to train when we just didnt feel like it, its amazing how good of running partners we are 400 miles apart! love ya.

Now i get home and i check my e-mail, and i got picked from a random draw for the NIKE WOMENS MARATHON in Oct., Im so excited for it! 26.2 miles will definitely kill me but i have the whole summer to train.. bring it on!!! cant wait to cross that finish line!!!!

Best Friends + MUD= lots of fun!!!

2010-04-06T11:51:00.000-07:00

Two weekends ago, Peyton invited his friend Kolby over to play, these two play so good together and are so much fun to watch. Kolby brought his power-wheels over and they practically ran both there trucks dead! they also found a mud hole.... and being little boys they just couldnt stay out of it! Here are some pics of the "Best Buds"

The "much needed" update!!

2010-03-17T08:38:00.000-07:00

I have been so busy it seems... but i couldnt tell ya with what if you asked! This last month has been so much fun, My awesome sister sara came to visit from down south, so a good week and a 1/2 was spent with her and her kids!!! i miss them so much when they're not here!

My little pride and joy PEYTON has been such a blessing, he has been such a good boy and melts my heart every day! He is constantly making me laugh my head off! He has been king of the "one liners", for example... when i said it was time for dinner last night he stood up on his chair and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls its time to eat" or anytime time he gets excited he yells "oh yeah, oh yeah, go peyton, its me birt-day!" I just can get over how cute he is!!

Another Big part of my Month has been the passing away of an amazing, great person.. REAMA, she was the best aunt anyone could ask for! she was a great influnence in anyones life that knew her!!! I love her dearly and she will be missed! my prayers are with her, her girls and with greg! I love them all so much! She is my hero for fighting canser as hard as she did! Rest in Peace Reama, we love you!!!!

I thought i would post a few pictures off of my camera i have taken recently.. even though i have been bad at keeping my camera on me... here are a few!

This Picture i had to sneek to get it, I was cleaning the kitchen when i realized peyton wasnt beside me (which he usually doesnt leave my side.. he likes to help me do everything, and i love that) so i went to go see what he was up to and this is what i saw.. he was in his room READING... it was so cute to hear his version of the story, as he saw it :)

Last weekend Cole was cravin crab legs, so we made an evening of it and invited his sister Raemi and her kids over for dinner... Peyton and his cousin Karadee were headed downstairs to play... and since our basement is unfinished, the kids have to wear shoes cause the concrete puts holes in there socks... so this is what the Two of them had on there feet.. they thought they were so funny to have there socks on with flip flops!!

Winterfest!

2010-02-04T07:38:00.001-08:00

Last week my sister Melinda and I spent most the week at hqna's "winterfest" at daniels summit. its a quilting and sewing retreat... we had a blast... I have to admit it was really hard missing Cole and Peyton, but it was so fun! There was over 110 women there, there was no one else in the lodge but us. All our food was included and the cataring was to die for, they fed us very very well!! I took four different classes, three quilt ones and an apron making one... there is pics below. i will post the quilt pictures soon, they are all turning out so beautiful! I felt way lucky to go, and cant wait to attend next year! i met so many new friends and learned so much from all the pros :) I really will be a regular from now on!

Here are some of the Aprons we wiped up, they are so fun to make, quick and easy too!

Cut Cut Cut

Sledding

2010-01-09T11:19:00.000-08:00

Today Peyton and I decided to go sledding while dad was gone ice fishing, we went to grandma darcys house and totally had a blast! Peyton had one boo boo, he rode his sled on his feet like a snow board.. he made it clear to the bottom before he wrecked. The whole way down i was yelling "on your bum, on your bum!" after we nursed the boo boo with hot chocolate and cleaned up the blood, he was on his way back out side to sled some more. I love how tuff little boys can be!

Family Pics

2009-12-01T07:15:00.000-08:00

Our Salt Lake Trip

2009-11-16T10:18:00.000-08:00

Cole didn't have to work last Thurs and Friday so we decided we would spend a couple days in salt lake and make it a trip for peyton! we had a blast, we went to the aquarium, chuck e cheese, cabellas(peyton loved all the big animals), thanksgiving point, the family Christmas expo.. SO SO FUN, and lots more. Peyton was able to sit on Santa's lap... so cute! He really enjoyed swimming everyday at the hotel too.

peyton and dad petting sting rays!

Riding the carousel at the mall

The last night we were there, when we were swimming, about 10 14yr old cheerleaders fell in love with peyton and played with him in the pool, they all were so cute. It was hilarious to see peyton so flirty.

Peyton having so so much fun

At the kids museum at thanksgiving point.

October in a nut shell!

2009-10-30T05:32:00.000-07:00

October has came and almost gone, we thought our lifes are starting to calm down, with the wedding behind us and the summer over, but when i look at how fast the month past by, its almost scary! so here are some pictures from the last couple weeks and what we've been up to!

My little peyton is growing up so fast, when peyton became a HUGE blessing into my life about a year ago he was not talking much, still in diapers and still looked like a toddler.. now look at him!

Peyton and Dad have been working really hard in the basement on "NO Training wheels" peyton loves it, he has done so so good, we have to remind him not to stand up, trying to jump his bike and do wheelies.. which were a must when the extra wheels were on. Im sure it wont be long till he can do all his tricks without the training wheels!

This is my beautiful neice Aunna, i am lucky to get to watch her a couple hours on wednesdays! she is so much fun and has became a big part of my week! i look forward to seeing her when i can, i love watching her grow so fast and learn new things... and i must say, we love doing photo shots.

A couple weekends ago we took a trip down to st. george for the weekend for my new neice Olivia Jeanne's blessing. We all (and when i say all, i mean the WHOLE goodrich clan) took four wheelers down and spent the whole weekend playing. Saturday scott planned an awesome ride for all of us, we had a big train of fourwheelers... i think about 12 and lots of kids... we rode about 40 miles that day and were all REALLLY dirty, i feel bad for the hotels pool boy, im sure we put a ring around the pool that night. On sat. evening Cole, Peyton and I snuck away from the group and went to this AWESOME elk farm. Peyton really liked feeding them, and cole was amazed at the size of them.

Two of the big elk.

Peyton Feeding a HUGE bull.

About half of the kids while four wheeling, taking a break

My two favorites, ready for a long day! BUT WAY FUN!

Carving Pumpkins!!! a must in October. Peyton invited his friends Austyn and Ayden over to carve pumpkins, (i think me and Kira did all the work) but the boys all had fun!

Our Wedding, The best day of my Life!!

2009-10-14T07:21:00.000-07:00

Peyton's Ear Plugs

2009-10-06T12:31:00.000-07:00

So the picture isnt great, but i had to be sneaky with him sleeping, although he couldnt hear me. This was the other day when it was really stormy, and when peyton laid down for his nap the thunder was really loud and was scaring him. So i went in his room with him and was explaining to him that the sound was kinda like monster trucks, that just because it is loud doesnt mean they can hurt you haha.. instantly he had the idea "wheres my ear plugs, i wear when we watch monster trucks?" he insisted on taking his nap with them on, which worked out great, he wasnt scared anymore cause he couldnt hear anything HAHA, me and cole were laughing so hard. He actually slept for over 3 hours.

Bridals...

2009-09-17T08:51:00.000-07:00

I wanted to try editing some things myself , so back at the beginning of July when my sister Sara was in town we did my bridal pics.. i didnt post them then cause i didnt want cole to see, but i thought i would put them on now, i think they turned out really well!

Peyton and I took a week vacation to visit Aunt Sara (my sister) and her family. We had such a blast! Peyton had tons of fun playing with the kids.

Peyton linked onto Sadie like no other, he couldnt remember her name so called her Teacher, it was so cute! Sadie was so good not to get annoyed... he followed her everywhere.

Eliza and Peyton... they had so much fun playing!

Mason and Peyton.... best buds!

Swiming at the Washington County Rec. Center.... like the vernal one but better! this picture is sadie peyton and mason, they had so much fun! and can you say BLUE eyes!

Uncle Scott caught some fish with the kids and had the great idea to ask peyton to bit one... Peyton didnt hesitate and yes he bit the head on the fish... then again for me to take a picture!

Peyton and I on our way home... Thanks dad for letting us take your car, peyton loved having the top down.

Rainy Days!

2009-06-14T15:22:00.001-07:00

So as you all know, the weather just doesnt seem like June! But we have been trying to make the best of it. Peyton got new rain boots and umbrella and was so excited to try them out. He loves them and hates that we wont let him wear the boots all day everyday, i think he would sleep in them if we would let him!

Loving the WARM weather!

2009-05-18T08:19:00.001-07:00

This last weekend was GREAT!! the weather was great and we were able to enjoy all that great weather on the lake.We went to staniker friday and saturday, as you can see in the pics peyton really enjoyed fishing, as well as playing in the COLD water on the beach. We also worked in the yard all the time we werent at the lake or swiming!Peytons HUGE fish! so proud

Priceless Picture!!! best dad in the world!

Mi Casa!

2009-05-18T08:13:00.000-07:00

For the last two months, most of cole and my time has been spent working on our yard of the new casa! we have had a blast with all the work and enjoyed being able to spend so much time together. He has done so good and has worked his tail off, but you can tell that it has paid off, i am way proud of my honey!

Easter Weekend...

2009-05-18T07:44:00.000-07:00

Im a little late posting all these great pictures... but life has been busy, Easter weekend was a blast, thursday evening before we picked up peyton me and cole were able to take the boat to flaming gorge, we attempted fishing, but as you can see in the picture we were totally freezing! Friday, sat. and sunday we went camping, it was a chilly weekend but really fun! and thanks for the awesome easter gifts from peytons grandmas and grandpas, he really has enjoyed all his out door things. He really like helping me water flowers!

Daddys two favorites!!!

Blackmail on peyton... chillin in the pink chair, he really loved the smores though

proof that it takes only one man to do something.. just three watching him :)

Peyton found this "jump", also know as a ramp, out of landons trailer, he entertained all of us for a couple hours purposely wrecking.

Cole and Me freezing at the gorge.. we loved just being on the lake though

Peyton helping me water flowers with his new sponge bob watering can :)

First Fishing Trip of the Year

2009-04-07T18:24:00.000-07:00

We got to have Peyton for a couple hours today and it was a blast! Daddy wanted to swing by Kenneths Catfish store to look at some stuff, and peyton fell in love with his first fishing pool, a DIEGO fishing pool. when we were headed home he asked where we were going and when we told him home, he was so confused cuz he really wanted to go "Fishin" so we decided, what the heck, so we flipped around and headed to kids canal... with little to none water, we found a place we could throw in! he really got the hang of it and most of all LOVED fishing!

The Zoo

2009-03-31T07:42:00.000-07:00

Last Weekend we wanted to go to salt lake to see a bike in a car show that cole's cousin jeff had done, so we decided to make it a trip for Peyton and then just stop at the car show for a bit on sat. We went out friday and stayed at little america, we thought that would be a fun pool for peyton, and wow did he have fun, we swam for about two hours friday night before bed, he absolutely loved it. Sat morning we woke up and headed to the zoo, as you can see by the pictures it was a blast!

He really liked the fake elephant cause it kept making sounds and singing

Daddy and peyton looking and the snakes (it stunk so bad in there)

Peyton really liked the moneys, this one came right up to the window

Pointing at the Giraffes

Peytons Photo Shoot

2009-03-31T07:32:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago I dresses peyton all up and had a blast taking pictures with him, as you can see he doesnt have a problem with getting his pictures take, actually it is quite hard to get ones without his "CHEEEEEESE" grin!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

2009-03-05T07:13:00.000-08:00

Yes, its going to happen! i cant explain how excited i am! and as my sister says it "i am floating on cloud nine!" I got my ring yesterday evening... it was the most amazing moment ever. Words cant even explain. Peyton was there and cole had shown him the ring before i got home... therefore when cole went to get it out Peyton was trying so SO hard to get the box open, he wanted to show coewee (me) so bad! all Peyton could say was WOW dada WOW! absolutely PRICELESS! I love cole so much and cant wait to spend forever with him! One thing i do wonder though is what all him and my dad talked bout when he went to ask him... he wont tell me anything they said.. just "its between us, not you" oh well i guess!

Valentines Day Weekend!

2009-02-18T08:50:00.001-08:00

Last weekend was a blast, we had Peyton, Coles little boy thats 2 for the weekend! and from the pictures you can probably tell he really like the camera, hes not shy at all. Friday night we hung out with some friends, so Peyton really loved playing with the other kids. He was wearing his Batman shirt.. so when people would ask his name, he wouldn't say peyton, he would say BATMAN! Also, uncle robert was there, he absolutely fell in love with him, so much he snuck up and bit his toe, we were all laughing so hard! Saturday he wanted his Valentines day candy.. all day so it was pretty comical when bedtime came around.

Update :)

2009-02-10T11:28:00.000-08:00

I dont have any new pictures, i guess i would say i am just to wrapped up in love to remember some pics now and then. But i wanted to stop in and just say how amazing my life is and how lucky i am to have cole! I never new that being head over heals in love could feel this great, we truely are growing closer together more everyday! Last weekend cole was off work for a day (hardly ever) so we headed up to wyoming on sat. night and stayed till sunday afternoon. We went up to visit his aunt Angie (total sweetheart) and her kidos...we had a blast hanging with them! A couple days ago we went to dinner with some of coles friends, it was so much fun, it is always a good time to go out with friends. Im so thankful that he fell into my life and cant wait to spend forever with him!

My Birthday In MAUI

2009-01-20T07:31:00.000-08:00

I got the best news last monday (1/12) from my boyfriend COLE, I got to go to Maui for my birthday!!! which was friday the 16th. We left on Wednesday and came home on Sunday. It was a quick trip, but AMAZING!! it was so georgous over there. We stayed at a place called FOUR SEASONS RESORT, they spoiled the crap out of me, i got birthday cards, boxes of chocolates with a card, birthday cake at dinner and everything. We both came back very burnt, but we had fun laying out on the beach though. We both cant wait to go back. It was a great experience!

SUGAR BOWL!!

2009-01-20T07:25:00.000-08:00

Of coarse we all wanted to actually Go to the sugar bowl.. but new orlenes was just a little far. So we decided to hold a UTAH party at Grandma and Grandpas house, it was a blast! the boys decided that if we won we would run around the house barefoot. Mind you that it was the second of January, we ran through snow and on ice BURRR we totally froze!

Chirstmas Lights

2009-01-20T07:21:00.000-08:00

The day after thanksgiving Kira, her twins and me all went to Vernals HOLLY DAYS, we had a ton of fun, we bundled up the boys, enjoyed hot chocolate, watched the prade, saw christmas lights and best of all met santa.
