Thanksgining continued....

I had to make another post because it wouldn't let me do any more pictures so here's the rest of our day!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, here are a few pictures from the first Thanksgiving at Bev and Perry's new house. I think it definitely got broke it!! We missed everyone that wasn't able to come and hope that you guys had a great day too!

Hey everyone, it has been cute seeing everyone's school pictures! Peyton still has a few years to go but here's some recent pictures of him! They other day I was on the computer and Peyton was just playing in his room. He has a drawer in the bottom of his crib where I keep some of his clothes and diapers, anyway he pulled out all the diapers and climbed in!! I wasn't really paying attention to what he was doing, I could only hear in the background little giggles when I turned to find him successfully in his drawer!

We also went swimming with Dave and Al a while ago, Peyton was a little iffy about the water slide but he always has so much fun in the pool! I think he's a little young for waterslides! :)

Peyton and Julia ( my brothers little girl) were playing the piano the other day at my moms house. They were having the time of their lives pounding away!

Anyway, thing are going well at our house and good luck to everyone in school!!

P.S. - Katie tell Doug we're promoting Russell Electric. (notice Peytons hat). We'll send you the advertisement bill, available in gift cards from Home Depot, Lowes, Texas Roadhouse, the mall, or free work on our house! hee-hee

Peyton can crawl FINALLY!!

Hey everyone Peyton has finally decided to not be such a chicken and can crawl. He has been so close forever but he has just been to big of a chicken to move his legs! Its really nice now that he can go for his own toys but also a lot more time consuming for me!

We went waterskiing on Saturday. We had a lot of fun and Peyton was a real trooper. We were in the boat for almost 6 hours and He never once cried! He loved it! These pictures are of him splashing in the freezing cold water on the dock! He loves the water and didn't seem to be affected by how cold it was!

Peyton's jumper

Here are a few pictures that I took of Peyton today in his jumper. He loves it! He could jump for ever (notice the blanket under him, we have to put that there because our carpet is so hard he gets blisters and his toes start bleeding!! That's how into it he gets! Ha Ha)

His new thing lately is mutilating his bed...He pulls himself up and tries to escape, making the process of naptime a little more difficult. Normally, I just lay him down and he'll go right to sleep but now that he figured out that he can stand up by himself I have to work a little harder. I caught him in the act of trying to rip his bumper off, needless to say he thought it was pretty funny.

Peyton doesn't like the grass

Ali that recipe is so stupid I'm embarrassed to share! All it is is browned hamburger, a can of re- fried beans, and cheese in the middle and then the sauce is just McCormick's Enchiladas Sauce in the little packets you can get at the grocery store. Then I just grate more cheese on the top. It's a real no brainer!

Brigit, your recipe looks super good I'm going to make it for family night on Monday. Anything is good if it has peanut butter and ice cream!!

Anyway, things are going good here, we had Peyton out on the grass the other night, it was so funny because he has touched the grass before but for some reason he didn't like the feel of it, he wouldn't stand on it for the longest time he would just hang with his feet all scrunched up. It was so funny!

Hey Everyone!!

Hey everyone! I took some pictures yesterday so I decided to share. I was changing the sheets on the bed and Peyton was playing in the pile. He loves to have things over his face so he kept pulling the sheets over his face, playing peek-a-boo with himself! We got him a jumper a couple of weeks ago and he totally loves it he will jump forever and screams with excitement the whole time it was a great investment for when I'm cooking, he's entertained the whole time and I don't have to stop and gather his toys back up because their not at arms reach anymore! So I'll have to take a picture of him in it and post that too! Well I hope everyone has a good day and it was good to see new posts when I checked the blog! Summer gets so busy!

Peyton's First Camping Trip

This was Peyton at 5:30 in the morning playing with his toys!!

Hey everyone here's our pictures from the camping weekend! it was super fun I definetly think that we should make it a tradition! Hope everyone made it home in one piece!

PEYTON VS. THE GREEN BEAN

Hey everyone!! I haven't written for a while, I check the blog everyday and never write anything...Anyway things are going well. Mitch has been super sick for a week and a half! He is just barely getting some energy back. Since he was so sick we had to cancel our trip to San Francisco! But I guess the good thing about it is that we can go on the family camping trip!! I'm excited, it'll be fun. I am just going to make Mitch make up for my lost vacation. I don't know how but I'm sure I'll think of something!:)

Peyton had quite the show down with his food the other day. I thing the green beans won. It was totally caked into his eyebrows and into every crevice he has! It was quite the episode! Well I hope everyone is doing good and I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!

Hey everyone! I just thought Isend some recent pictures of Peyton. He is sitting up by himself now so he thinks he is pretty big now. He was 'helping' me fold laundry the other day but all he got accomplished was sucking Mitch's socks until they felt like they had just come out of the washing machine!

Mitch was trying to take a nap the other day but Peyton wouldn't let him so I got a cute picture.

Anyway things are going really well here and we just wanted to wish a happy birthday to everyone this month! May is a crazy month for birthdays on both sides of our family so Happy Birthday to everyone!!

CHICKEN AND PASTA PRIMAVERA

Hey! Our internet has been down for the past 3 days so I haven't been able to look at the blog and I've missed out on all the news!! Al, I didn't think that putting Peyton's picture in the pick-up would cause such drama! It's amazing to me that Dave and Mitch work together EVERYDAY and still Dave is finding out info from you? I guess it's a guy thing that they don't talk, I think it's odd but hey I guess I not a guy right?! Peyton fell asleep in his bouncer the other day so I had to take a picture of him sucking his thumb!

I also found a good recipe, and it is acutally on the back of the cream of mushroom soup can. You have to get the "Healthy Request" can but it's for the Chicken and Pasta Primavera. It's really quick and easy and mighty tasty!

CHICKEN AND PASTA PRIMAVERA

1 can cream of mushroom

1/2 cup milk

3 TBS. grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1 bag (16 oz) frozen veggies (I like just broccli but it calls for broccli, cauliflower,and carrots)

2 c. cubed cooked chicken

4 cups cooked spaghetti noodles

MIX soup, cheese, garlic powder,and vegetables in saucepan. Heat to a boil. COver and cook over low heat 10 min. or until tender-crisp.

ADD chicken and heat through. Serve w/ noodles

Peyton's New Pickup

Hey everyone! Here's Peyton sitting in our new pickup. Mitch's dreams finally came true and we bought a pickup on Saturday. It was funny because the salesman gave Peyton a balloon. It was bigger than him! It was the biggest baloon I'd ever seen, and he loves it! We are also going to be going to San Franscisco at the end opf May for 6 days to visit my best friend, so that will be very interesting to take Peyton, he has never slept any where except at home or even been in the car that long (we fly out of Boise) so I am really excited but nervous too! Any advise to make things run more smoothly I'd appreciate from you more experienced mothers...So anyway I hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Hey everyone! I hope everything is going well. Mitch has finished school and is just working now Yahoo! It is so nice having him just come home from work and just being home and not have to go do homework! But I'm excited that he will be working close to home noe on Bev and Perry's instead of driving to Victor. Sorry Al, I guess now you'll have to put up with Dave coming over here all the time now. It's not fun..But I have finally gotten motivated to start on Peyton's scrapbook I did 5 pages yesterday! Aren't you proud of me!? ;) Anyway I still have a lot o f work ahead of me but it fun. I love to scrapbook it's just getting started and getting all the pictures organized. Well I hope everyone have a fabulous day!!

Hey everyone! It's a miracle...I can blog!! I hope everyone had a good Easter. I'll repost Peyton's pictures...
