Albertson Update

So basically it's been forever since I have updated. Here is what's going on:

We were finally able to move into a 2 bedroom, Unfortunately I feel like it was more of a down grade from our last place rather than an upgrade. So the last like 3 weeks have been moving which is really crazy and I hate it.
I am still going to school and only have like 5 months left to go. :) I also began working at Teavana, I really like it there and especially love the tea. I spend most of my time with school, work and my family. Which is now including my best friend Valerie and her adorable daughter Kenzie. Tavis spends most of his days watching Peyton and Kenzie, during the day while Valerie and I are in school. Valerie has basically become like a sister to me. Tavis has also begun his summer routine of working for the carnival again. Our summer has been really busy but really great.


Our dear little miss Peyton is getting so incredibly big. We have her 18 month appointment coming up soon and I am so excited to see how much she has grown. So with that I will wait to update on her until I update on her 18 month birthday. :)

Our little Peyton

Our dear little Peyton is getting so big and I am so behind on our monthly updates.

* She is obsessed with buckles (and such) putting two pieces together
* She loves dancing and humming to music, It's so adorable

* Her hair has finally grown out and she is getting the cutest little ringlets
* She still loves playing peek a boo

Happy 25th Birthday Tavis!!!!

This weekend we celebrated Tavis' 25th birthday it was an entire weekend of celebrating.

On friday it began with Tavis and I going to a birthday dinner at Tucanos. It was my first time going and it was totally worth the price it quality of food, quality of servers, quantity of food. Even with it being worth the price it is really pricey and thus will be reserved to birthdays when there is a free meal involved. haha.

Afterwards we wandered the Shops at Riverwoods, and it was so much fun. We stopped in Blickenstaffs, I had seen it for the first time last November and it was so much fun, it was Tavis' first time and it was one of the highlights of my night. Tavis ran in there and his eyes lit up and he was a kid again. He wanted to play with everything and he was just so excited. We unexpectedly found a box of 60 piece sidewalk chalk, and I was so exicited to get it for Peyton. Now that it is warming up all I wanted was to color with her. :) I can't wait to go back and get more stuff for Tavis and Peyton to play with this summer.

After Blickenstaff's we went to Provo Beach Resort and it was so epic and awesome. We are hoping to make a trip down there sometime. Maybe even has a date or something, If you haven't checked it out, you really should it's epic and awesome.

(I'm sad I didn't get pics from our friday adventure)

Well then Saturday, first we went down to Brandon and Ceason Elder's, Peyton and Hailey colored with sidewalk chalk, Tavis and Brandon shoot some practice targets, and Ceason and I chated. Then Peyton and I came home and napped while Tavis went Air Softing with Brandon and some other friends.

Finally Sunday, The actual day of Tavis' birth and I am so thankful he was born and he is a part of my life. I love him so much. It began with Peyton and I coloring a picture on the sidewalk for Tavis, Then cleaning the house and preparing for dinner and setting up his cards and gifts. Then I started dinner and we went to the park.  This was Peyton's first time at the park where she could actually run around an play on her own and she loved playing on the slide. (once again I hate that I didn't think to take pictures).  After the park we came home finished dinner, Which was a mini thanksgiving dinner. The Elder's came over and Peyton and Hailey were so cute playing together. After dinner Tavis, Brandon, Ceason and I played games. Then we had cake and overall it was a fantastic day, a fantastic weekend. :)

Family Update

So here is our family update since I have been seriously slacking.

In January, I officially graduated from high school and received my diploma, and the even better part of that is I also started College two days before my graduation.
I began attending AmeriTech college, studying to be a Medical Assistant and I'm loving it.

Peyton has really learned comprehensive and her personality is so Big and we love every minute of it. She is just growing and growing and time is slipping by. We love our little diva. We have had quite the round of adventures, She has had ear infections, stomach bugs, etc.., two rounds to the ER, once for eating something she really shouldn't have, and the second was the most terrifying experience of any mothers life. Tavis and I watched Peyton have a feveral seizure, I hope no parents ever have to see that.
She finally seems to be on the mend and just in time for spring/summer.

Tavis has started looking into going to school also, He wants to go to MATC and study IT. He is doing really well and we are really looking forward to summer.
