Playing and Parties

We took the girls out to play in the snow the other day. Kalee was excited about it...Peyton cried the whole time. It was ridiculous! I thought playing in the snow was supposed to be super fun when you are little. Peyton acted like we were torturing her by making her be out there, but when I suggested we go inside, she cried even harder. So let's just say it was not an enjoyable experience for most of us! Matt drug Kalee around the yard in her sled, she had fun!
Here is Peyton getting ready...seriously, she cried the whole time. Didn't want to go outside, didn't want to stay inside. It's rough being Peyton (and rougher being her mom at times!)Kalee ready to go...she was very Ralphie like. Her arms didn't go down to her sides!


Peyton went to her second friend birthday party yesterday. It was at McDonalds...YUCK! Never will I have a McDonalds party. I am sure it is good in theory...a built in play place, someone else cooking, serving, cleaning... But OH MY GOD!!! That place echoes like no other and kids like to scream...SHRILL, Horrific screams. Let's just say I had a headache by the time we left and a new appreciation for doing things on my own! Peyton, on the other hand, had a great time. She actually walked right in, gave Paige her present and started playing with the other kids. VICTORY!! She didn't cry, she didn't cling. It was awesome!
Here she is ready to go to the party. She wanted her hair curled so we whipped out her Hello Kitty blow dryer (thanks Aunt Kate) and curling iron. She was pretty proud of it!


The first anniversary of my 29th birthday is in 16 days!!! I think I will throw myself a party!!! Your first anniversary only happens once...right?


We leave for Mexico in 27 days!! Let the countdown continue! I am SO READY to go somewhere warm for 6 days!! Can't wait to be a part of Katie's wedding, spend time with my parents, and have my second honeymoon (that's really my first...). Never thought I'd say parents and honeymoon in the same sentence...HA!


We took Harley to the vet Friday. He had a tumor thing on his belly that we wanted to get looked at. And since I have cancer on the mind these days (sorry mom, to compare you to Harley!) I was afraid he had cancer. They did a needle biopsy and it is just a fatty tumor. Not a problem to his health. We can get it removed for $400...he will live with it!!!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
