Peyton's Super Bowl Pick

So Grandma Randee called a couple of weeks ago and asked who we would be cheering for in the Super Bowl. Here's your answer Grandma. GO STEELERS!!




WE'RE #1

There IS a light at the end of the tunnel! And everything else...

So, Sunday, we saw Peyton doing this...

That's right...he's drinking from a sippy cup! We decided to put PediaSure in the sippy cup and see how much he would drink. We got 5 oz down him on Sunday as well as 5 oz on Monday...all by mouth. I never thought this day would come. So, today I decided to count his calories and not give him any milk through his tube. And, of course, he is a stinker today and he hasn't hardly touched his PediaSure...or his juice! At least I know he will drink from a straw so we are definitely making progress. Also, Peyton had his first hair cut a little over a week ago. He screamed almost the whole time. But now his hair is controllable!



Mason had his very first dentist appointment last week and he was scared to death to go. He watched me get my teeth cleaned first and finally let the dentist look in his mouth and count his teeth. And he eventually got in the chair...without me! He is growing up so fast!

Our 5 year anniversary was Saturday and Montana and I had decided that we were going to go to dinner and see a movie. Well, Montana blindfolded me on Saturday morning and put me in a car with a friend and said, "See ya later...have fun!" Kassie took me to a number of places that had meaning to us while we were dating. It was fun spending time with Kassie and being away from the boys. Montana met us at the last place...RC Willey...where he proposed...and asked me to marry him again! (I only got a ring pop this time!) Then, he sent Kassie to meet her husband at our house and to babysit the boys for the rest of the day! Montana and I went to Gardner Village (It was cool but sad cause we are poor and you need money to buy stuff there!), Temple Square to take a tour of the Brigham Young Home, then we went to play mini golf, went to dinner, and then to a movie. It was so fun to get away from the boys for a day and not know it was coming. But I was happy to get home and see them again too! It was a great day and I still can't believe it's already been 5 years!

In Memory of Tyrel



This past weekend we went to Snowflake AZ. to the funeral of Montana's cousin Ty. Ty passed away this past week and will be greatly missed. We are so grateful for the Gospel and the knowledge that our family will be reunited together again.

Helmet is gone for good!

Just wanted to post and say that Peyton went to the helmet doctor today to have his head scanned again. Being without the helmet for a month, his head shape has changed about .003 which means he is done with the helmet FOREVER. He even got a minor haircut tonight! We didn't want to chop it off but it needed a little bit of help since he always looks like we never do his hair. Also, Montana started school today and it looks like it's going to be a good semester. He's way excited and we hope that excitement continues! And, just so everyone knows, we are headed to Phoenix this weekend for Montana's cousin's funeral. We found out last Sunday that he commited suicide. It's not a fun reason to go but it will be fun to see the family. Hope all is well and I will post pictures of the haircut later!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


This is what Peyton thinks of the snow! We're gonna have to change that!
So, I'm finally going to post pictures from Christmas. I'll give an explanation of them if needed. We had a very enjoyable Christmas and had fun spending time with family. We are excited for the new year and hopefully we can keep our goals! Enjoy the pictures!
