Turning into Quite a Lady

Today Peyson is one! I just can't believe it's already been a year. It's makes me so sad that soon she won't be my beautiful litle baby anymore. She's almost a toddler. And then, soon after that, she'll be a big girl. And then.....a hormonal teenager, yikes. But fortunately today, she is still my adorable, affectionate, hilarious little baby. Somehow I actually just got myself crying. Wow, that's how much I want my babies to be babies forever. Anyway. We had Peyson's party on Saturday, my birthday. It was a Pretty in Pink Party. Everything was pink. The food, the beverages, most of the presents, even alot of the people (we told everyone to wear pink). My mom even made Peyson a pink tutu. She looked so freakin adorable. And I can't forget to mention that both Dustin and Drayton ware pink, as well.

I LOVE MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to tell all who reads this that I have the greatest wife ever. She supports me in all I do. I couldn't ask for a better wife and best friend. Baby I love you and appreciate all you do for me. If not for you I wouldn't be where I am today. Love you tons and thank you, thank you, thank you for being the greatest mother my kids could ever have. They are where they are because of you. And I also need to say How Beautiful you are. "I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THEN I DID YESTERDAY, YET NOT AS MUCH AS I WILL TOMORROW."

Midnight Sun

I was really sad for Stephenie Meyer to hear that someone put her partial rough draft of Midnight Sun online without her permission. Sad because I can only imagine how betrayed she must feel having had someone she trusts stab her so blatantly in the back. I am also sad that that might be the end. Although I obviously know how the story turns out, I was intrigued by the thought of hearing Edward's side of everything. He is always making cryptic remarks and is very secretive, so it was nice to finally know how he felt about certain things. It made his character more personable. Ending where it did left me unsatisfied. I don't care what other people think of Stephenie Meyer or the Twilight series, I think she did a good job of making you feel for and relate to the characters, even if they are generally unrelateable (I tknow this isn't a real word) in most ways. So to who ever leaked her book out, you're on my list.

A Day of Fun!

Saturday we went to the Arizona Museum of Natural History and saw the dinosaur exhibit. Iy was fun to see all the dinos moving around. Dray loved it. We also panned for gold, sat in an old jail and saw an exhibit on poop. It was kinda gross, actually. Then we went for ice cream at this little diner called Grandma's Kitchen. The kids got some strawberry ice cream and when they were done the owner or "Grandma" came and wiped their faces down with a towel. I was tempted to ask her how much she charges by the hour to babysit. The kids loved her. Later that night we went to the fire station to see daddy. Dray got to go in the firehouse and get a tour. And he sat in the firetruck. It was so fun. Peyson insisted that the captain carry her around, so she got her own persoanl tour.
