Happy Birthday to the most wonderful man, husband, and father!!!

To think, we've been celebrating this day together for the past 7 years. Sometimes it feels like yesterday....


(we had just started dating here^)

You are the husband and Best Friend that I prayed God would give me. We've made so many memories together and I know there are many more to come. You are such an amazing Daddy to Peyton. The way you are with her melts my heart. She's blessed to have you. I'm blessed to have you.

Happy 27th Birthday babe!! We love you!!

Resell Heaven

Lauren from The Power of the Pink Lines, is cleaning out her closet folks...and there are some seriously cute items!! I think this is a super idea, especially for us moms that can't/don't fit into certain clothes since having our bundles of joy ;) Let's help a girl out, go shopping!!

Photobooth Phun

I hope you get what I was trying to do in the title..."phun"= fun

lol I tried.

Don't know if it's apparent or not, but we're enjoying ourselves over here :)

Night Owl

Something else to make me feel old, or to remind me that I'm getting older...I see certain phases come, go and now return. Eeeek!!

Back in highschool, well, really most of my younger life, I was a night owl. Like, even if I wanted to be able to try go to sleep "early" it was just impossible. My body did not recognize acknowledge sleep until around 11:30 or midnight. I didn't have a problem with it though. I was a journaling (diary) fool back in the day. I wrote some of my best highschool drama readings during those late nights ;) ...oooohhh the things we found so important and life altering back then.....ha.

Back to my babbling. So, we've established my body's love for the late nights. Well, at some point I became the person that could fall asleep within minutes of their head hitting the pillow and I just could not wait to jump back in bed at the end of each day (in a ilovemybedbecauseit'ssocomfy-way and not a i'msodepressedandwastemylifeinbed-way). I sure did love being able to do that ::sigh::

See, I said "did love"....hello old sleep phase from way back. Ugh.

Once again, I cannot fall asleep until atleast 11:30. This time, I WANT to go to sleep earlier. I WANT to snuggle in my bed. But alas, my mind and sometimes body, will not allow me to. I partly enjoy it because it is the only time of day that I have peace and quiet with the little one down for the night but it's getting kind of old. So I blog, instead of the good 'ol diary, and have become addicted to watching Criminal Minds which leads to me watching so many reruns that when I do finally fall asleep I have freaky dreams about them. I just cannot win people.

Here's to hoping the next "phase" returns soon!!

Happy Sleeping to you!

The 411

I haven't blogged too much lately. And I have noticed that when I have it's mainly about my little Beauty. But who can blame me right!? I do try to keep a good variety of topics so that I do not bore the few of you that do follow my ramblings ;)

I promise to do better. That will require me to actually do something other than stay inside playing/cleaning/feeding Peyton, lol.

As for the past few weeks, we've just been hanging out, going to the park and enjoying the pretty weather. Nothing too exciting. Peyton did get her first good (not good in a "yay" way) booboo. She tripped while walking Cody [yes, she was walking him! It was SO cute :)] and scraped the right side of her face pretty good. It was not fun for her or me. It's healed really well though, so I'm thankful for that. Let's see, we had a playdate with Collin and I didn't bring my camera! Bad mommy! ::slapping my own hand:: We've had a playdate with my cousin and her two kiddies at my Grandmother's. Hmmm, what else? I'm fighting a little cold. Mainly a dumb cough. Ugh, I hate coughing.

So, there ya have it folks. Just call me Boring McBoringson. <- even that is sad, lol.

Next week Peyton and I are taking a little trip to Otown to visit with my fam because my sister Sarah is having minor surgery...aka just an excuse to visit really ;) So I will do my best to make that trip interesting so I'll have something to talk about!

...Off to enjoy this lovely weekend!

The Zoo

Peyton's Grammy and Papa (A's parents) got us yearly passes to the zoo for Peyton's birthday. We used them for the first time this past Saturday. The weather couldn't have been better and it wasn't even that crowded! Peyton had a BLAST! She loves animals. She got to pet a goat in the petting zoo, feed a giraffe, and even made friends with a little monkey =)

Here are some pics from our trip....
