Well today is Halloween, Technically. This was our first and last halloween we were able to celebrate as a couple.
We have been together since March of 2008, and our first technical halloween together we spent at church. Our 2nd Halloween was last year and unfortunately Tavis had to work all day and into the night so I went Trick or Treating with my Sister Jenn and her boys. So this year we were excited to be able to celebrate together.
Our day started off by going to my little sisters Reception. Courtney and Curtis were sealed in the Provo Temple, so happy for them. We ate so much food and chocolate dipped goodies. (thank you whoever invented the chocolate fountain). Then we came home and Tavis decided to be a party pooper and not dress up so he wore normal clothes and went has a reality TV contestant. I went as an angel. We passed out candy for a little while then went to our friends Caleb and Kelsea's Halloween party. It was so much fun. I haven't had that much fun in a long while.
Next Halloween will be just has awesome. Next year will be little miss Peyton's First Halloween we are so excited. Tavis wants to dress up has a Halo Spartan and dress her up has a grunt.... we will see about that. We are so excited tho. In other Peyton news.. I am now 32 weeks pregnant only 8 weeks to go and 56 days.. Oh my gosh I cannot believe she is going to be here so soon. We are anxious and nervous. She is growing a lot and seems healthy as far as they can tell right now haha. Unfortunately this also means i am in more pain. My hips have popped so I am in constant pain, I have no idea where she is going to go, there is no way i could possibly grow anymore... haha.
I can't believe i'm about to become a mom... I can't believe we are about to become parents...
I am so excited!

& we keep going
Things may look like they are just gonna keep getting worse, But I have faith we will get through this.
Earlier this week, Tavis and I were put through yet another trial. I guess to understand I need to start at the beginning. I was laid off from work about 6 weeks ago and so because of this we became unable to afford our Rent. We had already been looking into moving anyway but this new development made that idea harder and we were being tested with figuring out how to afford to move. So i signed the contract over to our roommate and began applying for cheap apartments, Well we think we may have found the perfect place, but before could finish the application process on this new place, Our roommate gave us a 24 hour notice to get out of the apartment.
We got really lucky, so we hauled butt packing and I was really grateful my mom came to help us. She came and packed for me, called up her friends and got us a place to store our stuff and got someone with a truck to help us move it all, I am so thankful to her.
We are also really grateful to Tavis's Dad who is letting us stay with him til we can finish this application process and move into our own place.
It is really frustrating and stressful to me right now knowing there is only 9 weeks left of my pregnancy, and even then she can still come at any time, and I have no where to live, no where to take her home to. I don't have a place for her to sleep or to properly store all of her stuff. I still have a lot of stuff i have to get her too. Like a changing table, Mattress, Bassinet sheets, Pac'n'play sheets, Diapers, Wipes, and other such essentials but I don't want to get any of that til we are in our own place.
I have faith though that we will be able to get through this and everything will work out. I am so glad to have Tavis, He is such a great support and has been helping me through this. I am also so thankful to have God, who gives me the comfort i need to know we will get through this.

I love this man!!!
(i really wish i had a better pic of him, haha)
I just wanted to share how much I love Tavis! He takes such good care of me and his baby girl. :D He is trying so hard, everyday to make sure we are provided for. He is constantly showing me how much he cares and loves me. And every time he leans down and talks to Peyton or rubs my stomach I get butterflies and think what a great dad he will make. He is just down right amazing and honestly right now i am having a hard time thinking of the right words to explain how much i love him. I am so glad he is my husband and soon to be father of my daughter. I am so appreciative of everything he does for me. I love love love him.

I am Excited for November with Birthdays and oh my gosh Thanksgiving Dinner I am really hoping I can host it but we will see. I am excited to be so close to meeting my sweet baby girl. Everything is flying by so fast. She will be here so soon. I am anxious for this new chapter in our lives. :D

One Year and More to come
Yesterday, Tavis and I celebrated our one year anniversary.
Tavis had to work during the day but when he got home I had began preparing a special dinner for the two of us. Steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions, Iceberg salad with carrots, tomatoes, sweet red/ yellow/ and orange peppers and mushrooms, and Rolls, With Welchs sparkling grape juice to drink.
After dinner we had planned on going to a movie, but being pregnant I was exhausted so we cuddled up on the couch and watched a movie at home with popcorn and Dr. Pepper. All in all it was a really great date.

And it's a.....
On August 9, 2010 I found out that Tavis and I would be expecting a Lil' Girl! Unfortunately when i found out Tavis was out of town working. So I left the next day to meet up with him in Duchesne to announce the sex to him. So I have this huge plan of showing up there wearing a pink shirt, carrying a pink balloon and a pink cupcake. Nope. Tavis calls me while on my way down there and tells me I can't announce the sex until their closing meeting, Duh! totally ruins my plan. So I finally get there at about 5 in the afternoon and have 7 hours til their closing meeting to decide how i am going to announce it. The anticipation was killing me. Finally they shut down and we gather for the meeting, all the employees split into their teams Guessing boy (8) Guessing Girl (13), and last second I decide to hand Tavis the ultrasound pictures have him find out and announce it all at once. I'm not kidding the second he saw we were having a lil girl his heart just melted and he about cried. He yells, "It's a girl." and everyone cheered it was great! I loved it.
So after all that my trip to Duchesne was pretty awesome in general.

Love Is In The Air!!! ♥
First I am slightly frustrated that blogger will not let me upload photos. GRRRRR.... hahaha
Anyway my sister in law Tiana got married on July 30 so we had family fly in for the wedding. Tavis's Grandma and Grandpa Butler, Aunt Kim and her daughter Ashley came from Kansas. His Aunt Vickie also came in from Texas. So Tuesday night me, Tavis and his mom went to salt lake and picked them up. It was awesome while waiting for Vickie to get it in, I was pushing baby cause he/she was in a very uncomfortable position and I totally made him do a back flip, and because I pissed baby off for moving them, baby retaliated and made me car sick on the way home. BUT.. It was very cool feeling the baby move like that.
Wednesday was just has equally awesome. We all went to the Hogle Zoo, and by all i mean whole fam damly haha, It was awesome. Tavis was so cute and lovey all day and i loved loved loved it. We spent practically the whole day there it was great spending time with the family, pics posted at the bottom.
Thursday I babysat my nieces all day and then went to work just a normal day.
Friday was the big day. Tiana and Joe had such a beautiful wedding. They had it up the canyon at this very beautiful park with a stream running next to it. The ceremony was beautiful very intimate and amazing, Then we enjoyed the reception with great food, some dancing, good music. Enjoyed the company with friends and family. It was great and I am so excited to have a new in law.
Saturday we went to dinner with everyone to sizzler for Grandpa Butler's birthday. I have throughly enjoyed this week and the time we are getting to spend with the family. They go home tomorrow and prolly won't be back for a long while, so i am glad they got to come out.
On some other exciting notes, I will be finding out the sex of our lil one, one week from today and i am very excited for. Unfortunately Tavis will not be here. Tavis leaves this wednesday for work and will be gone for two weeks.
Anyway that would be my week. :D
