Peyton absolutely loves Dora and she was thrilled when she saw her cake.

Without a doubt, it was a very Dora birthday. Dora ballons, blanket, books, and dolls.

This last weekend I got to go to New York City with my sister in law, Beth. It was so cool to see everything at Christmas time with all the lights and decorations and Santas everywhere you look!

One of my favorite things that we did in New York was going to the Broadway show, "Promises, Promises" starring Kristen Chennoweth, Sean Hayes, and the bad guy from Ghost. I can't remember his name for the life of me. Anyways it was amazing and we had second row seats and were so close we could see their sweat and spit as they sung! Kind of gross but awesome at the same time!

Sean Hayes!

The bad guy from the movie Ghost!

I fulfilled a dream of mine and went ice skating in Central Park! It was beautiful!

Bryant Park

Candles were set up at the NYC library for a wedding. I don't think it would be that cool to get married in a library of all places, but the candles and stairs were really pretty.

Visit to Columbus, OH

In October, the whole family went and stayed in Dayton and Columbus, OH for almost 2 weeks. The purpose for the trip was for Andy's eye surgery. We ended up going to Columbus on the two weekends to see our good friends the Grier's. While we were there, we went to the Columbus Zoo and to an Ohio State football game. Thanks for the great time Grier's!

Building a fence and more fun

In October, I decided to finally work on the home improvement project that I had been dreading: The FENCE! With the help of a few friends, I knocked it out over the course of 10 days. It turned out pretty nice. It is not perfect, but it works.

Family Visit

2010-09-17T22:21:00.000-07:00

This month my family came into town from Arizona! It was a busy week and was so much fun! We went to the temple, a cardinals game(It was mormon night and there was a whole section of missionaries),had a big barbeque, played washers,checked out a small amish town in Arthur Illinois, went to Lake of the Ozarks and stayed in a time share right next to the lake and it was raining all day so we went to the HUGE outlet stores!! We also went to an air show at Scott Air Force Base and saw the Blue Angels do an amazing show! We also got to ride on segways at Andys work! My little brother who want to be a pilot said it was like Christmas to him! We also got to see him open his mission call here. It got to his house the day after they got here in Illinois and they had a friend send it to us so he wouldnt have to wait forever to open it! He is going to Washington DC north and reports on the 29th of December!When he opened it we had four computers set up. One with my grandma and uncle, another with my aunt Barbara, and they other two computers had my sister and her family and my brothers family. That was pretty fun! IT was such an awesome week and we were so glad they could come!

At the Pirates game!

This last week, we went on vacation with Andy's family to Pennsylvania! We flew in to Pittsburgh where we ate a really delicious lunch and saw a Pirates game. Our hotel was right across the street from the stadium, which was really convienient. Andy's mom watched Peyton while we went to the game. Thank you! The next day we drove to Philedelphia and saw a Phillies game! We didnt stay to long because the heat and humidity were pretty unbearable, but we got to see the most action packed inning of the whole game! It was pretty cool. We also stayed in Gettysburg in a vacation house right in the middle of the battlefield! This house was extremely old, but had been remodeled on the inside so it was kinda nice. I was a bit spooked at night time! We also went to Hershey Pennsylvania and had a good time at the Chocolate World. We had a great time on vacation, but wish Peyton had been feeling better! The flight home was awful!

I think I slowed everybody down, but we still all had fun and got a dilly bar at the end! woo hoo!:) The course had alot of downhills which were really fun and helpful and a few uphills that killed me!! Peyton rode with the Pettets girls in their bike trailer. Claire and Peyton cried and cried at first, but calmed down once we got going.

Picnic at the park!

Bubbles!!!

Andy had a four day weekend for the Fourth of July holiday! On Friday we went to a park and had a picnic. Andy and the guys played frisbee golf and us girls watched the kids on the playground. Then we went shopping! :) Then on Friday night, our friends Ashley and Tyler watched Peyton so we could go on a date! We went to dinner at Chilis and went to the movies to see Grown Ups. GRown Ups was sold out and so we got tickets for a movie that was scheduled to start about 15 minutes later. So we sat in the theater for awhile, watched 5 animated kid previews and then Toy Story 3 started! The dang people at the theater screwed up and had the wrong movie in our theater. We could either get a refund or a pass. One or the other! Lame!! So we just went home and played games with our friends. Then on Saturday we went to a big barbeque at the Hughes house. It was a really great time! Sunday we had samores and watched the fireworks. Today we ate leftover barbeque food from Saturday and went swimming! So much fun this weekend! We are exhausted!

Family trip to Chicago

2010-06-11T17:54:00.000-07:00

Last week Lisa and I went to Chicago for 6 days. I had to go for work on a Secret Service assignment. I ended up getting a little bit of time off to spend with Lisa and Peyton, but they still made the most of staying downtown. As a matter of fact, we all made the most of the trip. For Lisa and Peyton it was seeing some cool stuff. For me, it was eating all of the famous local foods to include: polish sausage, Giordano's pizza, Al's Italian beef sandwich, Chicago style hot dog, and Garrett's Popcorn.

"I'm on a boat!" While I was working, Lisa and Peyton took a boat ride down the river and into they lake. Although Peyton was restless, they had fun.

Still on the boat

Swimming at the hotel pool

Peyton loves the water

Here Peyton is putting an egg into a shopping cart at the Children's Museum at Navy Pier. She loves shopping, just like her mom!

She loves to push things around. She did this for about half an hour.

There was a little spot where she could splash around in the water and play with toys. This is also one of her favorite things to do.

Yummy!

Dinner in the Dining room~

For those of you who didn't know, Andy and I went on a cruise last week. We had been planning to go on this cruise since before Andy's deployment. Andy's sister Beth, volunteered and took the whole week off of work to watch Peyton and Andy's parents watched Baxter. This worked out really nice because they all live in Dallas and our cruise left out of Galveston, so we got to spend a few days in Dallas with Andy's family. During that time we ran a 5k! Andy runs them all the time for fun, but this was my first one. I ran about 3/4 of the 5k and came in fourth for my age group and was very proud of myself! I had been dreading it, but it ended up being fun.

We had a blast on our cruise. We went to Jamaica where we got to swim, dance, and play with an actual dolphin, and we also went to Dunns River Falls which is a 600 foot waterfall that we got to hike! It was amazing and we got some great pictures! Unfortunately Andy's wedding ring came off and he lost it in the falls. :( The next place we went to was Grand Cayman, BWI where we had planned to swim with stingrays, but because of bad weather we were'nt able to do that. We went on a mini tour instead that took us to a turtle farm where we got to hold sea turtles. It also took us to a town called "HELL." It was named that because of the black rock formations there. It was fun to send people a postcard from Hell! haha. The next day we went to Cozumel, Mexico where we also had some bad weather. :( We had tickets to go on this fast thrilling boat ride called the twister, but it was also canceled. That was ok though because we traded those tickets in for something just as fun. We rode a catamaran out and snorkeled! It was really neat, because the water was so clear and beautiful and you could see the coral reef and many pretty fish! THen the boat took us to a private beach with water trampolines, slides and kayaks. It was so much fun!

Because we have so many pictures and it took me way to long to upload them all last night to facebook, I am just going to put a handful of them on our blog. If you want to see more check them out on my facebook! Sorry!

Andy's Homecoming!

2010-02-24T19:03:00.000-08:00

Andy came home finally on Thursday, Feb. 18th. He didn't get in until around eleven at night, and we were all pretty tired, but so excited to be back together. These are the only pictures we got from it. I was glad our friend Brett from Andy's work could be there to take pictures and video for us!

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

2010-02-07T11:47:00.000-08:00

I just found out that Andy will be home in my arms on my birthday on the 18th! 10 days! My prayers have been answered! I could'nt ask for a better present! What a perfect day to come home! I can't let myself get too excited though because flights could always change and something could always go wrong. :( I hope and pray that it doesnt!

2010-02-03T21:24:00.000-08:00

totally stressing! Tomorrow is our last day here and then we are off to the cold of Illinois! Ahh! Its supposed to snow on our last day of traveling....not looking forward to that. Wish us luck!

Hike on Camelback Mountain!

2010-01-06T19:28:00.000-08:00

Today I went to Camelback Mountain, which is a really tough hike. It is more like mountain climbing than hiking. It was pretty fun though. I went with my good friend Lien and her mom. When we reached the top, Lien wanted to take a picture jumping in the air, and i thought, "ooo good idea i want to do that too!" I didn't land right and fell on my knees and shins. Got a few cuts and scrapes...it was pretty embarassing. And there was quite a few people around too. :)

2010-01-02T22:28:00.000-08:00

Peyton isn't crawling yet, but can sure move around and somehow managed to get caught in the Christmas tree lights! It was kinda sad and funny!

Fiesta Bowl Parade/Ikea

2010-01-02T22:05:00.000-08:00

Today we went to the fiesta bowl parade in Phoenix! We saw John Cena, Darth Vador, and my favorite part, was seeing the big group of Air Force men and women. Everyone was cheering and clapping and it was so cool to show them that we really appreciate their sacrifices and services! Go military! woohoo! Then we went to Ikea! I love that store. The nearest Ikea is about 300 miles away from us back in Illinois. I got some cute pictures of Peyton checking out the different furniture and toys. Her favorite song is the one with the monkies teasing Mr. Alligator and then Mr. Alligator comes and snatches a monkey out of the tree? i think it is called "5 little monkeys." Ok that sounds bad, but its a cute song and she loves it, and my mom and I saw a long stuffed alligator animal and she loves it so i got it for her. I will have to video her with it sometime. Its so cute. :)

Tonight Peyton and I went out to Phoenix to visit a couple of my friends from High School. We went to my friend Tony's house where I met his wife Danielle and their adorable son Tristin. My friend Eddie and Nate were also there. We had a yummy barbeque and watched the Wiggles with the babies! They are 4 days apart in age! They were so cute!

Peyton's 9 month Birthday!

2009-12-15T22:42:00.000-08:00

Today was Peyton's nine month Birthday, and we were at Sweet Tomatoes, and there was a big group of people at a table nearby that were celebrating a birthday and had a huge cake and tons on helium balloons. One lady from the group came over and gave Peyton a balloon that said, "Happy Birthday" on it and then when she walked by again I told her that it was her 9 month old Birthday today. She had an extra balloon and gave Peyton another one. Then she brought over a piece of cake for all of us too! huge pieces. wow. she made it a good birthday experience for Peyton. She had a few tastes of cake and really liked the balloons too. We moved her cake away so she wouldnt get it everywhere and she kept staring at it intently! It was so cute too. I can't wait for her 1st Birthday! It's going to be awesome!

I was talking with Andy on skype while holding Peyton and she had the hickups. All of a sudden she started puking all over me! Oh my goodness. It wasn't as bad as in Utah when she puked down my shirt and we were in the car and I had to wait 25 minutes before i could get cleaned up. oh man...it was only a matter of time before she got sick. Its almost circulated through all of my family. I think i am getting sick. i didnt feel good earlier and took some pepto bismol in pill form and i started to feel alot better. my face feels hot. ahh! i am so afraid of throwing up! i cant remember the last time i threw up! this is going to be a long 24 hours!

Flu Flu go AWAY!

2009-12-06T10:33:00.000-08:00

So I came back from spending a wonderful two weeks with my awesome in-laws in Texas on Tuesday. The day before, both my neice and nephew had been here all night and day and both had the flu! yuck! And then my brother Ryan who doesnt even live here, but was here for a little bit got sick and then my mom got sick on Thursday night and now my dad is sick today! I have been cleaning and disinfecting and washing and sanitizing and trying to take any and all precautions i can. Last night we all went to the light parade in Phoenix and little did we know that my dad was coming down with the flu bug. He was holding Peyton alot last night and was real close to her! I am so so worried that she is going to get sick and then I will get it too. We both had flu shots, but apparently it doesnt pretect you from the barf flu. :( what good is it then? ahh. It's inevitable, we are all going to get sick!

This was a cool float that reminded me of Andy serving our country. I think the float had more to do with the heroes of 9-11,and they are great too, but it made me think of my hero:)

Lights Parade!

2009-12-05T23:09:00.001-08:00

Tonight we went with my family to the Phoenix Lights Parade! It was so fun. We met our friends the Reidheads and had a table set up with nachos, popcorn, cheesy potato soup, fried chicken, hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and pizza! It was fun. we even fed a nice homeless guy and gave out free hot chocolate to people. It was a good time even though it was pretty cold.
