10 on tuesday.

1. Happy birthday, Hillary!

2.. Biggest Loser finale tonight! :) Oh what an exciting life I live.

3. Peyton has 3 Christmas presents under the tree. I almost let her open them this morning. We've already given her most of her presents. ::sigh::

4. We get called to pick Peyton up from the nursery every Sunday. She hates it. This week Milca said she was pulling her in a wagon, and every time they passed a door to the sanctuary she would call for me. We'll try again next week. ::sigh::

5. I'm very excited about having a white Christmas. 17 more days!

6. Yesterday I had apple pie for lunch. I think I might have the same thing today. :)

7. I'm looking forward to a day off tomorrow and having the car.

8. I want to visit Lindsay in Italy. Anyone else want to go?

9. Which is a better: an exercise bike or treadmill? I found one of each on craigslist for pretty cheap.

10. The end.

16 Months

What is Peyton up to at 16 months? Lots! Just last week I was saying that Peyton isn't much of a climber... she is now trying to climb up onto everything! Figures. She loves to test the limits everyday, and make light of the situation by laughing about it. nice. She's pretty obedient though. Her tantrums are still very mild; she gently plops herself down, and says, "wowe" and then a short lived fake cry follows. Then she gets up and says "all done". love her. She is starting to put words together. "hi daddy" " it's ready". She loves the song "You've Got a Friend in Me". She sings "men me me". Watching her sing "Happy and You Know It" is the cutest thing ever! She has new words everyday. My favorite words she says are "cold (towd)" and "store (stow)".

Today she picked out her own outfit. Everyone needs "a little bit of ugly" day. :)

Just Two

ten on tuesday.

1. Getting back in to the swing of things. Last week was crazy busy.

2. We spent Thanksgiving with the Sayre side of the family in Louisiana. We had lots of fun eating, playing games, eating, hanging out, eating... I didn't take very many pictures at all. :/ The few that I did take though:

such a lady.

a super great family picture. :/

3. We went to New Orleans on our way home.

there's nothing quite as beautiful as a nice pair of shiny gold teeth!

4. We had to put the baby gate up in the hall because Daragan kept jumping in bed with us. Apparently she really missed us.

5. I feel like we're busting out of the seams of our house.

6. So far there are only like 5 houses with lights on them in our neighborhood. I hope more people put some up this weekend. I love Christmas lights.

7. One of Peyton's favorite things to do is stand up on her car.

feeling so accomplished and free.

8. I need to buy stamps so I can mail out our Christmas cards.

9. I'm excited about seeing the Christmas play at our church this weekend. We've lived here for 3 years and I have never seen it.

10. I'm ready for 24 to start up again. I hope it's better than last season.

Y Family!

Sorry, I know you guys have been waiting! I had a blast hanging out with you all today! I'll have your gallery up soon. I hope you enjoy the slideshow. Sorry about the quality.

Flashback Friday

Exactly one year ago.

Ten on Tuesday!

1. We had a garage sale last Saturday. I'm always such a debbie downer and think no one is going to come, but we made $150.00. We are pretty happy with that. Peyton had a blast!

2. I got the vest and thermal Peyton is wearing in the above pictures at Old Navy last spring. I think I paid 5 dollars for the vest, and like 1.50 for the shirt. I totally scored and I'm so glad they fit!

3. I met up with one of the ladies on my moms' message board, and took pictures of her family. I had a lot of fun. I need to work on posing and giving directions. I'm a fan of capturing people just being a family though, so... Here are a few from the shoot:

4. I attempted pigtails on Peyton for the first time a few days ago. It didn't really work out. Her hair is still too short. I can't wait until it's long enough.

5. I'm shooting a family of 11 this Sunday!

6. Peyton and Daragan are becoming quite the pals.

7. Tonight is make over night on the Biggest Loser, it's always my favorite episode.

8. Peyton wants me to hold her all.the.time these days.

9. Yesterday the little boy I watch was wearing an Auburn shirt with paw prints down the sleeves, and Peyton would point at it and say "Blue's Clues".

10. In the morning I can hear Peyton saying, "up, up... yeah, yeaahh... eat, eat... yeah, yeaahh".
