The "much needed" update!!

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!

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!

Sledding

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

Last Friday we had family pictures with the WHOLE goodrich clan.. it was a riot, all the kids were so fun to watch. Lacy did such a good job and was so patient with all of us! She sent me a few pics for a Sneek Peek... and i cant help but to show them off, we are so so So happy with them! can wait to get them printed!

This one is my fav. it is going on the wall for sure!

Tree decorating

I just couldnt help but post this tonight, Peyton was so much fun helping me decorate the tree.. cole snuck outside and snapped this picture, we had disney christmas music jamming and had so much fun! love him so much!

Our Salt Lake Trip

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.

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

October in a nut shell!

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.

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!
