1 Year Old Pictures

Here are just a few of Peyton's
1 year old pictures. They turned
out so cute. There were so many
cute ones, I just picked a few of my
favorites to post. Sharstin Miller took
the pictures and she does an amazing
job. You can view her work at

New Job

So I finally got a job. I have bitter/sweet feelings about going back to work. I am really enjoying staying at home and was looking forward to having the whole summer off, but I got a job offer and the hours are PERFECT, so I couldn't really pass it up. I will be working at McKay Dee Hospital on the Psych ward ( I know scary hu?) as a ASP (administrative support partner).
It' part time, 2 nights a week and every other weekend. And the best part about it is- I won't have to have a full time babysitter. My hours are 4:30-12:30am so Shawn can be home with the kids, and the nights I do have to have a sitter it will only be for a couple hours max before Shawn gets home. I think it will work out great!

Swimming Lessons

Hayden is taking swimming lessons this summer at
the North Ogden Aquatic Center, North Shore.
He loves it, and is having so much fun. The only
thing he doesn't like about it is- "he can't play on
the toys".

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

I can't believe my baby is one. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday I got to meet and hold in my arms for the first time this sweet, precious baby girl. What a blessing she is. She seem like such a baby to me still. She can't really be one can she? Her are just a few of the many, many reasons why I love this little girl sooo much.

-Her smile
-her laugh
-how happy and content she is
-her smell
-how when she gets really excited she flaps her little arms like a bird
-how when she wakes up in the morning and I go in to get her, she has the biggest smile on her face
-how when she is shy she lays her head on my should and looks up at the person she is not sure of
-how whenever I smile at her she always smiles right back
-her curiosity

Happy Birthday baby girl. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Hoppy Easter!

Our Easter this year was pretty low key. We really didn't do much. The Kids woke up got their Easter baskets, found some eggs and then were off to jump on the new trampoline the Easter Bunny brought. Here are a few pic of our day:


Parker & Hayden with their baskets. (Please
Don't mind Hayden's outfit, he insists on dressing
himself) He will always dress himself in the most
Hideous outfits and then say "how does this look"
and all I can say is "Looks great buddy" I usually don't
care what he puts on unless were are going somewhere.


Peyton and her basket.


She is already a poser. She looked so cute in her
Easter dress.

Baby Animal Days

Today we went to the "Baby Animal Days". We had never been before and apparently it is a big to do in Logan, UT. They had lots of fun things to do. They have all the baby animals out and you can walk around and pet them. They also have Arts & Crafts, and the Easter Bunny. The kids had so much fun. We were there for over 4 hours and they didn't want to leave.
Also Mark Walton was there. He does the voice of Rhino on the Disney movie Bolt (for those of you who havent seen the movie, Rhino totally makes the show). He was there signing autographs and doing his "Rhino" voice. It was pretty cool to see. He is a very nice guy and was born and raised in good ol' SLC, UT.

Tractor Rides!!!

The Easter Bunny (Don't they look so excited)

And she's off..............

Yes, that is a picture of her starting to crawl :(

Where does the time go? it seems like just yesterday she was a newborn and already she is 9 months old. So depressing. Especically since she is my last. Its so sad to think that I'll never get to experience these "baby" stages again........ Makes me want to cry.
