Snow Day!!!




Last weekend we took Payton sledding behind the four wheeler at Greg's parents. She was terrified of it at first only wanting Greg to pull her with his hands, but she toughened up and finally got on with Greg while I pulled them. Her cousins came later and had a ball. It was nice to have a day that was warm enough and when I say warm it was only about 30 degrees, but compared to 0 it was nice!

It's A Girl!!!

Today I had my 20 week ultrasound. We took Payton with us and she was more interested with the goop on my belly than what was happening on the screen. We were already pretty sure it was a girl because of my 17 week ultrasound but today confirmed it. It was so fun to see her kick her little legs and wave her hand. She even yawned a couple of times. It's crazy to think that a little human can grow and develop inside of your belly. It made me realize what a miracle having a baby is. What an amazing blessing!

Tag- All About Me A to Z
I've been tagged! Here are some obvious and not so obvious facts about me.
Attached or Single: Attached and so glad to be!
Best Friend: I have a lot of great friends, but if I had to pick just one person it would definitely be Greg. He's there for me through it all.
Cake or Pie: Cake for sure! Better than "Almost Anything" cake is my favorite.
Day of Choice: I don't really have one, but any day when Greg can spend most of the day with us and we spend quality time as a family.
Essential Item: Right now for me its lotion. My skin is so dry! The Idaho winter and pregnancy are not helping.
Favorite Color: I like alot of different colors. But my favorite is probably red. I used it at my wedding, to decorate my house and I love it on clothing.
Gummy Bears or Worms: Worms- I especially like the red and white ones. Red?
Hometown: I was a bulldog until I was 12 so I'm originally from Ririe, but I've spent the latter part of my life in Rigby.
Indulgences: Looking on the Internet. I do it way too often, but I love looking at blogs, furniture and baby websites, and shopping. Also reading a good book and not having to put it down, any ice cream treat, the show Real Housewives of Orange County, People Style Watch, home shows and getting my nails done.
January or July: July. I love celebrating the 4th and there's finally sunshine!
Kids: Payton who is 3 and one on the way!
Life is incomplete without: The 5 F's. Faith, Family, Friends, Food and Fun!
Marriage Date: December 27th, 2003
Number of Siblings: 2 (Jennifer and Braydon)
Oranges or Apples: Apples, especially with carmel dip!
Phobias: Drowning
Quote: You come to love not by finding the perfect person but by seeing an imperfect person perfetly.
Reasons to Smile: Payton-it's hard to spend 10 minutes with her and not smile. Happy and healthy family, friends, vacations, new experiences and opportunities, an empty laundry hamper, going out to dinner, warm sunny weather, a good song, movie or show, and Greg getting off early! We have been so blessed in our lives. We don't have much not to smile about.
Season: Summer
Tag others: CASSIE, KACEY, CANDICE,
Unknown fact about me: I memorize license plate numbers. I can even remember some of my friends plates from high school. Weird huh?
Vegitarian or Meat eater: Meat. Who can resist a good steak or a juicy burger?
Worst Habit: Not returning items in a timely manner. I hate to try things on but I also hate to take them back if they don't work. I'll wait months and I've got two gift cards right now to prove it.
X-rays: I broke my pinky in 6th grade playing basketball in my grandmas driveway. I also thought I had appendicitis once when I was in college. My roommate and I decided I had all the symptoms (We were both nursing students at the time). We went to the hospital and it turned out to be nothing. Blame it on nursing student paranoia!
Your Favorite Food: I love food and I don't think I could pick just one favorite. I love steak and potatos, a good salad (one with alot of cheese, eggs, croutons and ranch dressing), senora chicken, pizza and many desserts. My favorite restaurant-The Salt Grass- unfortunately only found in Texas.
Zodiac: Taurus which was also my first car!

Albertson's Bakery



This week Natalie invited us to go on a tour of the Albertson's bakery with a group of moms from her ward. The kids got to watch a cake be decorated, look in the big oven, see how bread is made, and taste the delicious cake frosting. Mom's did too! They also received a yummy chocolate chip cookie at the end. Thanks Nat for the invite!

We went bowling for a birthday party this week and it was so fun. I love how bowling is great for any age. Greg of course was serious about his game guaranteeing victory before we arrived. Payton was so excited even if she only knocked down one pin. She even got a Strike! I just have one complaint- what's with the shoes?

Jesus Wants Me For A SUNBEAM!

Yesterday was Payton's first day at Sunbeams. After shedding a few tears about not being able to play with the toys at Nursery, she decided she would go to Primary. She ended up loving it. She drew a picture, got a piece of licorice and told me she learned about good and bad. She said, "Mom if we pull on cats tails, that's bad. If we don't pull on cats tails, that's good!" I can't believe she is old enough for Sunbeams. They grow up so fast.
