Grateful!

The last couple weeks have been kinda rough, and really has shown me the important things in life! 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! I've have learned that "life happens" and when you get handed something you didnt plan on... you have to just go with it:)

here are some Things I'm Grateful For!
-that i'm healthy
-SPRING... (go away snow!)
-Peyton, i never have a dull moment with him, he makes me smile when i need it the most!
-My understanding HUSBAND, he is amazing.
-FaMiLy, i totally feel bad for those out there that dont have 3 sisters, and lots of sister-in-laws, they are all my best friends and the best support system EVER!
-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).

Things I'm into right now
-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
-"girls lunch" all of my sisters (except sara thats in st. george) go to lunch on tuesdays, i hate to miss!
-Cardigans, who new i would love these, i thought they were so GAY when i was younger
-turkey burger, we use it for everything... personal fav. is turkey italian sasauge in lasagna or meatballs
-trying to get in better shape before summer.
-the PARK, poor peyton gets ants in his pants inside, and it is so nice to be outside and let him run free
-Orginization: at work and at home, my mom blessed me with this obsession
-Doing my hair... just got it high lighted and am loving it!
-Ice Cream at night with my hubby before bed

the 4 Wheeler

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

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

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

 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


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!

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!

Santa at Disneyland... peyton ran up to him and yelled "THANK-YOU SO SO MUCH FOR MY DS, I LOVE IT"
