My sweet husband




So yesterday (15th) was our "dating" anniversary (8years) which we haven't really celebrated since we got married. But Justin totally surprised me and made arrangements for a babysitter and we went to the Melting Pot. It was so fun to just go out and be together! He also sent me an Edible Arrangement which i have always said looked so cool. And it was TASTY!!! Payton kept saying open present mommy! Thanks babe for a fun night out! Love you long time!!!

State Fair

We were invited to go with Grammy and Papa Taylor to the state fair and we had a blast. Payton is really into animals so she loved that. The horse ride was great she loved riding it and thought she was so big! She had fun square dancing with Grammy and Papa THANKS for the fun night!

My LITTLE girl is getting so BIG!




So yesterday was a much better day!! Payton had her first Dance lesson and her 2 year old checkup. She absolutely LOVED dance! I was worried she would be to shy, but it was the total opposite! She kept saying "my turn again?" and "one more mommy"! It is a mommy and me class for 2 year olds and i think that its going to be so much fun sharing this with her!

So as most of you know Payton is and has always been off the charts at her DR appts. This time was no exception she was 101% for height(38inches) 95% for weight(33lbs) and basically he said the size of an average 3 year old. I still remember when she was born and our pediatrician said it will be fun to see how tall she is. He said just looking at the 2 of us he knew she would be tall!

Beware!!! I am venting...

So this is probably a first for me to write down some not so fun things that go on here but i feel the need. So if you don't want to keep reading that is totally understandable. I want to preface by saying i LOVE my little girl and she is the light of my life, but today i am feeling....... worn out, tired, unappreciated, at my wits end!!!!!!!! I have heard "NO MOMMY" & "TOP IT" more than i can count today. Starting the day off way to early for her 7:45, an accident with a follow up "princesses sad.. poop on princess" to a MAJOR melt down at the store. Did I add she is probably getting sick so the whining and clinginess is CONSTANT! That resulted in my first break down. To a way to short nap waking up crying and didn't stop for atleast 30 minutes. I have been doing laundry and ironing all day just to find out that the shirts i ironed came from the dirty laundry!!!!!! Thanks for that Sweetheart, she must have messed with my laundry. Well I now need to add a second break down for a good reason. My sister-in-law knowing i was having a bad day just showed up at my house with a Mt dew and a treat for payton!!! She is so thoughtful!!! I am lucky to have her as my neighbor, best friend and sister-in-law!!!
Well lets end with the playdough she stuck in her ears!! Yes and it is only 2:45. I love being a mom and it really is Such a blessing to have her! I am going to remind myslef that she will only be little once and to love all these memories i will look back at and laugh!! RIGHT????

So every year we go to Wasatch and camp over labor day. The ladies all get to go to Swiss days and the guys go golfing. And this year Justin had his first BYU FOOTBALL game!!! He is so dang excited. He is a true Y fan, he has even taught Payton the fight song and how to say go Cougars(his ringtone). My grandpa has had these season tickets for over 50 years and Justin is really the only one left in the family interested to go so lucky him he gets them! We had a great time:)
