What our new home is going to look like

This weekend we put a deposit on a home that we are going to build. This is not our home, but it is exactly what our home will look like. It should be done in November of this year. If you want to check out the website with the floor plan, it is http://www.newhomesource.com/NEWHOMEBOOK/homedetail/market-166/planid-688817. It is 1800 sq ft with a full basement. We are so exicted to move in.

Same colors as our house.

This is what it will look like. Hopefully it will have some grass.

Baxter might be a little of jealous of Peyton

I have no idea how Lisa got this bib on him, but he was ready to eat.
This is a pacifier that Peyton does not like so she donated it to baxter and he loved it. We promptly threw it away.

more Ireland pics

Here are some more pics from Ireland. Most of these are when we went to Dublin. It was an awesome trip and I still can't believe we got paid.

This is a shout out to Patty O' B!

Dublin Castle

The latest from Ireland

As many of you know, I am in Ireland right now for work. I know, its a difficult job, but somebody had to jump on that grenade. Anyway, I made a list of things that I wanted to do while I was here. 1. see some castles 2. see some cool landscape 3. kiss the Blarney Stone 4. eat traditional shepard's pie 5. See an Irish Jig 6. Meet Colin Farrell and/or the Dropkick Murphy's. So far, I have acomplished all of those except for the last two. It is so beautiful here. Since I have been here, I think the sun has only been out for about 4 hours. It rains all the time. We rented a car, and it is nuts driving on the wrong side of the road and don't get me started on the roundabouts. I am having a blast, but I do really miss my family. I love you Lisa, Peyton, and Baxter!

In front of the Blarney Castle
This is the Bunratty Castle across the street from our hotel.

Here is the Irish Dwight from the Office. This guy was hilarious and he played the part of Dwight in this presentation too. It was awesome.

Here is my shepherd's pie. It was very good. I always thought that traditional shephard's pie would be made of lamb, but sure enough, it was ground beef. Oh well, I did have traditional lamb stew. Very awesome!

Here I am kissing the blarney stone upside down. I had mixed emotions about this. It better pay off!
And yes, that is a 80ft drop below me.

The latest with Peytons pains

As some of you know, Peyton has been having severe gassy stomach pains for the past.....well since she was born really. She has been screaming after passing gas....painful sounding burps, screaming during feedings( breast milk and formula), and just overall not too happy. Lisa has taken her to the doctor several times and he first prescribed zantac which hasnt really helped and he wont try anything else until we can get it diagnosed as acid reflux for sure. So we finally got her an appointment at St. Louis Childrens Hospital to get an xray of her tummy and see whats going on. Lisa tried putting a little bit of rice cereal in her bottles and since then she hasnt screamed during meal times! Yay! :) But afterwards her tummy sure bothers her and she cries alot because of it! Keep her in your prayers and pray that she gets a medicine or something that will help her and make her overall happy!

Peytons first time in the pool

This week Andy is in Ireland for work and his sister Beth came into town to help with Peyton and keep us company while he's gone. Last night we thought it would be fun to take Peyton to the indoor pool down the road. She seemed to like it even though she was half asleep. :)

Peyton's blessing

On April 25 we went down to Texas for my sister's wedding and on the 26th we blessed Peyton in the Bedford ward. Since she couldn't be born in Texas, it was important that we get her there as soon as possible! Anyway, the blessing went perfect and she was absolutly beautiful. Here are the pics.

Its been a long time

Wow, it has been awhile since we have posted. To our friends and followers, we apologize. Life is busier now with a baby. Well, I am getting ready to go to Iraq and I am trying to plug away at school so I can graduate next spring. That would be sweet. Lisa is busy with Peyton. Peyton may or may not have acid reflux and it is bothering her and causing her a great deal of discomfort; especially during the night. On another note, I am going to Ireland this next week on business. Here are some pictures of our Peyton "Peanut".

Umm, excuse me, I have something to say!
