What we've been up to...

Friday night, we actually had no plans so Kenny played Call of Duty with my dad, Jeremy, and Josh. It is really funny to see him with his headset on talking to whoever he is playing with. They can hear other people playing too and he is always laughing at what they are saying. I was feeling in the mood to scrapbook...so I decided to make a calender. I figured I will take at least a few pictures a month (who am I kidding, I probably take 10 a day!) so I will just make sure I snap one on the holiday in that month. Then, next year I can just switch out the picture and print out new dates. I have been wanting to start scrapbooking more, but I never find the time to just sit and go at it. This way, I have a month to get at least one page done:) We will see how long this lasts...I have yet to finish February. Valentine's Day was only 3 days ago though:) I just have to add mine and Kenny's picture and I know P's pic is old, but I liked the colors of it on this page.Speaking of Valentine's Day, I hope everyone had a good one! We sure did! We had plans with my cousin, Josh, and his girlfriend, Brie, to go on a Gondola ride at the same place Kenny proposed, but we decided against it. Luckily, we were able to eat at BJ's Brewery without waiting at all! After dinner we went to see Valentine's Day! Very cute movie, in my opinion. This was our first time going to the movies since before P was born! We left her with my parents and even though we missed her, it was a fun date. We didn't plan to match, it just kinda happened, I swear! But we do look pretty festive:)Hi there!P's new favorite thing to do is blow raspberries!When she isn't jumping, she will rest her legs like this. She is so stinkin' cute!She loves playing in her little jumper while she watches Nick Jr. She loves the moose! She can be completely distracted from the tv playing with her toys, but as soon as she hears that moose talk, her eyes are instantly fixed on the tv. I didn't realize it until one day I picked her up to change her and as I was leaving the living room, she was moving all around in my arms and looking over my shoulders trying not to miss whatever was on the tv. Now, I will look at her during a show and she will be smiling at whatever they are saying. Especially on Yo Gabba Gabba...which to be honest I HATE that show, but she loves that guy! My personal favorite is probably Olivia. Did I just admit that?! I can't help, but laugh at how cheesy, but cute, some of the shows are. I love how they make the shows sound so educational at the beginning, when really, they are just cartoons. I don't want to sound like I am creating a little couch potato, but when I am doing stuff around the house, I have that on for her. Plus the two boys I watch a couple times a week like that channel too:)

Anyway, Peyton is getting her top teeth in! These have been giving her a little more trouble the last couple days than her bottom ones did. And it isn't even during the night. She is sleeping like a champ actually! She falls asleep about 9:00 and wakes up about 7:00 or so! The other night I did hear her on the monitor and when I went into her room she had turned on her little crib toy. It didn't seem like she was falling asleep anytime soon because that toy was bright and loud, but she was just happy as a clam singing along to it. As I was walking out to go back to bed, I realized Angus was sleeping in there. How cute, he was protecting her:)

I also started reading "Dear John". I don't really read anything except biographies, but this book has got me sucked in! I am only 5 chapters in, but I have only been reading it for a day. Brie suggested it, so I thought why not!

Kenny and some of our guys friends started playing softball again. I didn't go to their first games because they were late Tuesday night and all the way out at Red Mountain. They lost, so apparently I didn't miss much ;) (That's kinda mean of me)

Hope everyone has a great week!

You and Kenny are SO stinkin cute together! Seriously! And Peyton, OMG, every picture of her puts a smile on my face! I need to meet that baby girl some day!:) Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog about us being pregnant! We still cannot believe it! I am TERRIFIED and excited at the same time.. and have NO idea what to expect! But..from the looks of it with you, you look like you LOVE being a mom! I hope I am as good at it as you are! :)

I didn't know you watch two other kids during the week. I used to watch my nieces 5 days a week and it was HARD!!! They were 3 and 2 and Ryder was 1. 3 kids under the age of 4 is rough. Therefore I quit after only 4 months. HAHA! It's a good way to make money and still be with your baby though. BTW Olivia is my favorite too. It seems to have a bit of adult humor, which I like. I get worried that Ryder is becoming a couch potato but he used to HATE the tv being on and now all he wants to do is watch his favorite movies, which makes it easier to get stuff done. But now I actually have to limit him. HA!

Hi Kara. Sorry it has been so long since I have left a comment. I have been reading, but never have the time to leave anything. Working full time will really take it out of you! I love the picture of Peyton resting her feet. Mom's get so excited over the goofiest things. Kendyl has been spitting her tongue out recently and I swear I took 15 pictures of it. Well Peyton just gets cuter and cuter all the time and she seems so happy! I can see why you are so enamored with her. Keep on posting. I may not be commenting, but I am definitely reading :)
