Quick Post

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while! life's been busy and we've been without internet for a few months. So I'm posting from my parents house. Since my last post we've had a lot of fun times!! Back in August we took Peyton to the Morgan County Fair. He LOVED it! He had so much fun petting all the animals. I have pictures to post as soon as I have internet again. Peyton was a caterpillar for Halloween this year. He looked so cute! We went trick-or-treating out in the rain and Peyton had a blast! Even though me and my mom were freezing!! Scott turned 33 this year and we celebrated by leaving Peyton at my mom's overnight while Scott and I went to dinner and a movie. It was nice being able to sleep in the next morning. I'm excited for Thanksgiving this year but very nervous too. Why, you asked. Because Thanksgiving is at MY HOUSE!! It's my first time cooking a turkey too! Keep your fingers crossed that everything will go smoothly. Prayers won't hurt either! I think I'm going to be praying until that turkey comes out of the oven and is cooked perfectly! I'll take pictures and let you know how it goes! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Bear Lake 2

More Pictures!!! Peyton had so much faun playing in the sand! He tried to eat it a couple of times, but found out he didn't like it very much! Neither did mommy!

What a dirty boy!! In the next picture you'll find out why!

We got the biggest laugh out of him! He does this at home on the carpet! I never thought he'd do it in the dirt!

This was on the way home. We wore him out good!!!

Bear Lake

We had such a great time at Bear Lake this year!!! It was fun hanging out with family at the beach and at camp! I look forward to this trip every year! Especially now that Peyton is old enough to enjoy it! We could hardly keep him out of the water!!! Here's some pictures of our vacation! Here's Peyton eating a cheese ball!!!

Peyton sitting like a big boy in his chair, chewing on some licorice!!

This was Peyton and Emery Haws playing with the tires of the cars!!! Their arms were black up to their elbows! Good thing we were near water to clean them off!

And this is my Beach Bum/Biker Stud!!!!! Isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen!!!

Awwwwww!! I have the best husband in the world! Scott and Peyton had so much fun together! They are the best buds!!

What a STUD!!!

Summer Happenings

Well, this year has gone by super fast!! I guess I should start from where I left off. The remodel is finished!! We finished it around the first part of April, and we love it!! I would post pictures but I can't find our computer USB for the camera. So as soon as I find it I'll post pictures. About a week after we finished the remodel Scott and I went to California to go to The Price Is Right for our five year anniversary! We had a blast and Drew Carey is the nicest guy! We also hung out around Hollywood Blvd, and at The Grove and Farmers Market! The Grove was my favorite place. It's a lot like The Gateway. We also visited Scott's sister Julie who lives in Las Vegas. While we were away Peyton got to spend the week at grandma and grandpa Done's! I know he had fun and I hope my parents enjoyed having him with them. May was a pretty quiet month. Not too much happened except I was getting sick and tired of all the dumpy weather!! At the end of May though, my sister-in-law Ruth had her third baby! A girl, who they named Lillian Grace! She is such a cutie! She looks like her older brothers, except for the bow on her head! We also found out my other sister-in-law Sarah is pregnant with another girl, and is due in November! The end of June we went to Calf Creek with Scott's family. Jordan got to ride down with us, which turned out to be really nice because he kept Peyton entertained for the long ride down. We went on a six mile hike which nearly killed us, but it was a lot of fun. Peyton loved camping! There was a bridge next to our campsite and we couldn't keep him off of it!! We also spent our afternoons playing in the creek. The water was freezing but it didn't seem to bother Peyton one bit! For the fourth of July we went swimming at Cherry Hill with Jed, Heidi, and Maddie. And Brooke and our cousin Monica came too. It was a really nice day for swimming. We then went to my mom and dad's for a BBQ. Brendan and Ruth came with their kids, and my aunt Jeanette came with her son Matt, his wife Sharee and their kids! It was fun just to hang out, talk and eat some good food! And of course the fireworks are always amazing!! In Oakley we get to watch four nights of fireworks because of the rodeo. And I can see them from my house which is really nice!! July is my favorite month of the year! There's BBQ's, swimming, family vacations, two holidays with parades and fireworks! And I get to spend a lot of time with all of my family! Next week we're headed off to Bear Lake for a few days, so I promise to find my USB cord for my camera, so I can post all my pictures!

Will It Ever End?!!

This remodel is taking a lot longer than I've wanted it to!! We were trying to have it all done by March 6th, which is Peyton's birthday party. We wanted to have the party at our house so we could show off all the hard work we did. BUT.... Home Depot didn't tell us that it takes FOREVER for them to order in carpet, so it wouldn't arrive until mid March!!! We decided to go somewhere else for carpet, since we were put behind schedule. Which in a way was a good thing because we found better quality carpet and it was a much better deal!!! We have now set the finish date for the first week in April. I really hope we can make it! It seems like we have been working in a construction zone forever! The fireplace has taken us a little longer than I have wanted, but hopefully we can have it wired and vented in the next couple of days. I promise I will post pictures. I want to wait until we're all done and then I'll do a before and after post! Keep your fingers crossed, cause I've got everything I can cross, crossed!

Our Remodel

We've decided that we need a change to our house. Well I decided we needed a change:) We are planning on taking down walls, putting up new walls, tearing out carpet and tile, installing new carpet, laminate floors and a fireplace!! And the best part is that we are doing it all by ourselves!!!! I know you all think we're crazy but I'm way excited! we've already started and I hope we're done by May, or sooner! I have been taking pictures so you all can see the process from the before to the after!!
