Our First Lagoon Trip of the Season! (5/15/2011)

I figured out how to get the pics I need from iphoto so I can put them in blogger etc. It's a slight pain but no big deal. Most the pics are from the helicopter ride with the kids I'll have to try and take more the next time we go. A more variety as well.
Our season passes! Best Christmas present ever! I hope we get lots of use out of them!


Last year Peyton was barely too little to ride on the rattlesnake rapids so this year I took her on it since she is not barely tall enough. this is afterwards.Helicopter ride!!! The chose the one that matches Grandpa Brent's uniform how sweet!

Look I got my face painted like a puppy! Of course shortly after all this he had some sort of tantrum/meltdown and demanded to take it off and the day pretty much went downhill after. Oh well the great thing about season passes!

Enid decided on Fantasy tiger. As far as I know there were no complaints from her.

Peyton got a unicorn and I know she liked it cause she is still talking about it on occasion.

The face painted gang!

Eastern Idaho State Fair!

My in laws took us to the Eastern Idaho State Fair and we had a lot of fun!

Peyton's 2nd Birthday.

We had a party for Peyton a few days after her birthday. It wouldn't let me post all the pics so you can view them here

Hogle Zoo!!!

When Most everyone canceled or couldn't come to Peyton's party my mom was like I will take you to the zoo and so we went down to SLC to go to the Hogle Zoo. It appears I did not save these pictures to my computer so you can view them on facebook here

Lagoon!

My mom took us to Lagoon ( an amusement park in Utah). I had been there one time before and it was a really crappy experience but I had TONS of fun this time and my mom is talking about getting us season passes which will be great!
The kids were so excited they came and jumped on us!Waiting...We're so excited!Lots of rides!

Maybe I should have made a resolution to update this more....

But knowing me I would have failed at it miserably!

Anyways what's going on with us....

Brandon- Didn't work for a month worked one week and is back to not working. He's looking for another job but so far no luck. If anyone knows of any jobs in Cache Valley he could do send them his way.

Enid- Still loves school. Acts like she's a teenager already. Never listens unless it's what she wants to here. Frustrating but she still helps me out a lot so I can't complain too much right.

Aidin- We are FINALLY making some real strides when it comes to potty training. Since Sunday we have kept him in underwear during the day and he has yet to have an accident. He hasn't pooped in the potty and we need to tell him to go try for him to sit on the potty but I can tell he's been holding it. So basically we just need him to realize that he can go without us asking him to if he feels he has to go.

Peyton- She has learned no. She can say no shake her head and say nu uh. So OF COURSE no the Terrible two's are starting. We say anything to and it's met with nu uh and shaking her head. She thinks it's cute...Brandon and I....not so much. In a few weeks (Feb. 28th) she will FINALLY be old enough to go into the nursery at church. I am VERY excited for this because right now Brandon and I have been swapping her every week and when it's my week I don't get anything out of the Lesson in RS and SS well neither of us really gets anything out of it cause we spend a lot of it chasing her. I know she'll have a blast in nursery I'm not worried at all that she will be one of those kids that freaks out when their parents leave but she will probably try to escape to run down the halls every time someone leaves or comes in.

Me- Finally making some friends here. I have two weekly playgroups I go to. One is at the church with Ladies from RS and the other one is from a Cache Valley mom's forum I am in. They have helped me get out of the house and have helped me meet new people and make friends so I am happy about that. School is...going ok. Last session I had a draing class that I ended up getting a C in so that dropped my GPA from a 4.0 to a 3.33. Right now I am in a math class and it's not going so well. Luckily this class does not go against my GPA but I need to get at least a C or I have to retake the class and I SO do not want that. Work is going ok I have been slacking on it ay to much and ave been trying to work more but we recently had an influx of new agents so it's hard to get questions when I am signed on. On a positive note with work though I am scheduled to work the superbowl and during the super bowl i will be making like 4 times my normal rate so I am excited about that.

I'm nuts oh and Happy Thanksgiving.

We had a really good Thanksgiving we went down to Kaysville, UT and had lunch with my Mother in Laws family. Then we went to my Father in laws family. It was just Brandon, Peyton, and I cause the other two kids were with David. Then we stayed up all night and braved Black Friday. We have all our Christmas shopping done other then I have to get Brandon his present. We got some pretty good deals and I definatly see the appeal but I don't want to do it again myself....or at least not with Peyton I don't know what I was thinking.

Happy Birthday Peyton!

Yesterday (Aug 26th) Peyton turned 1 year old! We're having a party for her on Saturday so I will have to post a lot of pictures then.

but till then here is a now and then photo.

Peyton when she was born

Peyton's Laugh

I have to say Peyton has one of the best laughs. I shot these last night. the first one you can hear it very well but can't see her the other you can see her smile but she wasn't laughing as hard.

Camo Cutie

So before Peyton was even born my Aunt Janet bought her this outfit. It say Corporal Cutie and has a pink camo skirt. So of course I decided that we HAD to get a picture of her in it with Brent in his uniform before he got deployed again. This is the best one I got and Peyton would not smile cause the sun was in her face.
