New posts

Hey everyone, I am incredibly behind on my blog, but I have been trying to catch up. I like to cheat and change the date of the actual post to the date that I would have posted it if I had done so in a timely matter, so feel free to scroll down even if you have seen some of my postings, because I have tons of new ones back in April and May and on. LOL.

big and strong

Peyton and I found this huge DEAD bug on the deck today. I am so glad that it was dead, because it was huge.

I said to Peyton. "That is a really big bug isn't it"
He replys "Yeah, its big and Strong" Then he says "Like me! You know that?"
("you know that?" is his new favorite saying. I guess I must say that a lot...you know that?)

I pulled up this page to show Peyton the other day and he said "theres that big bug. It is so strong. It has big muscles." Too funny.

Here is my big and strong boy in his new John Deere tractor shirt. Jackson has one too, but I didn't get a picture of him in it yet.

5 months old today

WOW!! Jackson is already 5 months old. I know I keep saying this, but really where has the time gone?

I have been taking Jackson's picture every month in the same chair, with the same rooster so that we can tell how big he is getting and how much he has changed.

Jackson and Peyton.

What?

Me and my buddy. I am having quite the bad hair day, but that is ok.

Silly Peyton.

Jackson loves this chair.

What a cutie!

New Suit!

A few weekends ago we went shopping and Craig got his first suit ever! He was so proud of it. I just had to get a picture of him with the boys. They just looked so handsome. We picked up a new suit for both Peyton and Jackson as well, but it was in the 90s so I figured they could wait to wear them. I just love these boys and am so happy they are in my life. Seeing Craig in this suit makes me think back to the handsome tux he wore at our wedding 9 years ago. Oh, happy days!

Our 9th Wedding Anniversary

Wow! How the time has flown since this day 9 years ago. Today is our 9th wedding anniversary. It is had to believe that 9 years ago Craig and I were married in the Denver LDS temple for time and all eternity. I thought that for our anniversary I would write down 9 things that I love about Craig.

1. I love that you are a wonderful father, that you love reading book after book to Peyton at night, that you even sing to some of the books. I love that you make up silly songs to sing to Jackson when he is sad. I think that is cute.
2. I love that you are a caring husband. You have been such a blessing to me, always helping me and caring for me (sometimes even without prompting:0)
3. I love that you hold the priesthood and that you are a humble servant to the Lord. For a while I didn't think I could find the perfect guy to take me to the temple, until I met you and I knew you were the one.
4. I love how you call me in the middle of the day just to tell me how much you love me.
5. I love how you are always thinking of me and that you always tell me I am beautiful.
6. I love that you like to watch chick flicks with me and that you let me pick the movies that we go to.
7. I love how you let me warm my cold feet on you at night, with minimal complaining.
8. I love how you love to snuggle.
9. I love how you try to like all of my cooking and don't give me a hard time about something that doesn't come out right. We both know that can be a challenge.

Craig, I love you and can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Thank you for the 2 beautiful, I mean handsome, boys that you have given to me.

Love, Lisa

Spiders and Giraffes

I have a quick Peyton-ism to share before I forget.
So Peyton was running outside and he fell down and skinned his knee. Well, a few days later while I was changing him, he showed me his skinned up knee and I asked him what happened to see what he would say, and this was his response.

Peyton: "A spider pushed me down."
Me: "He did. That wasn't nice of him."
Peyton: "Yeah, and a giraffe bite me too. You know that?"

Too funny. The imagination on this kid cracks me up!

My favorites

Here are some of my favorite shots from yesterday. Peyton and Jackson did such a great job getting their pictures taken. They both were in such good moods and as long as we could keep Peyton's attention, he did great. As you can tell Jackson has discovered his tongue recently. I am thinking that for a few weeks now, most of his smiles are with his long tongue sticking out, along with baby slobber. These will be great memories!

I love my boys!

Jackson. Can't believe that he is already 4 1/2 months old.

Peyton is 2 1/2.

Jackson and Peyton.

Too sweet! Peyton really loves his brother. This one wasn't even posed. This is just naturally Peyton and Jackson.

This one was our favorite of both boys.

This one makes Peyton look so grown up!

This one made us crack up!

Peyton loved this radio flyer car.

He kept wanting to drive it though, so it was a bit challenging to photogragh.

We even managed to get a shot of both boys on the car. I think Peyton was nervous about having Jackson on there with him. Jackson wasn't holding on he kept saying!

Professional Photos

We had professional pictures taken yesterday, and as usual, we had tons of great pictures to choose from. We had our favorites, but I love to put all the pictures in collages. I will post our favorites when I get a chance. Until then, enjoy.
