Gone Baby Gone

Last Friday, Lance took baby P to Sacramento. It was definately a traumatic experience for me. Packing my husband away for a week is bad enough. But packing up Peyton and putting her in the truck with Lance, knowing that I wouldn't see her for 6days, just did me in. I tried to play with her all morning, and had a lot of fun, but as soon as I buckled her into her carseat, the waterworks started. I was only a wreck for about 2 minutes, but I couldn't believe that I even acted like that for 1 minute. I guess you don't know how good you have it until it is gone! Even if it is only for a week. I must admit that I have had a very relaxing couple of days, and have been able to do whatever I wanted, but thats just not what I signed up for. I miss taking care of my husband, and making him dinner and just being with him. And I absolutely miss my little girl. I can not wait until Thursday when I get to hold both of them in my arms again!

The time has come!

Lock up your homes boys and girls! You guessed it, Peyton is walking! It really started aroung her 11 month birthday, which is a little late in our books, seeing as we have thought "anyday now" for the last 2 months! Oh well! Now the fun begins! She also got her third tooth today. (#D for you dental enthusiasts!) It finally broke through! Though now she is going to look like a vampire seeing as her laterals are coming in before her centrals! Here is a video of her walking and of her fat little naked belly! I love when she is naked. This is right before her bath, so we could do it. Usually it is way too cold for her to be naked for long periods of time!

A little late!

Here are some of her Valentine Pictures that we had taken this year. I just can't believe how big she is getting~

Twist and Shout!! nanananana!!

Peyton's daddy loves to dance with her. He sings this song, (which he made up) and makes her twist. Only today did she start to twist all on her very own! She keeps going by shaking her head. Too funny!!

Look at those baby blues! And this is also to show you how much better her face is getting!

So far she has taken at most, 6 steps.

Love

My friend, who is always so inspiring on her blog (thank you) posted a blog about love. It made me stop to realize that I haven't been very good about letting the people I love know that I love them. So here is a list of those whom I love.

1. My Savior
Before all else, I put this man. He loves me unconditionally. Even when I do wrong or make mistakes. He knows what I am thinking and calms me in times of trouble. He is my brother and my friend, and though I have always known this, recently I have thought a lot about His love for me as an individual. He knows who I am and wants me to be a better person.
2. My husband.
I like to tell myself that he knows that I love him and it is ok if I don't always say it. I learned from someone recently, that is not the case. I need to tell him every chance I get. I love him for the wonderful husband that he is, always trying to help and do what he can to make our relationship better. I love him for the father that he is to our daughter. He spends quality time with her (even when he should be sleeping). He loves to watch her learn and grow. I don't know how I got lucky with such an awesome man to be so in love with, but I am thankful everyday for him.
3. My Baby.
So cliche', I know, but I never knew I could love someone so unconditionally. I am not a very patient person, but somehow (for the most part) it comes naturally with her. I love to watch her learn and grow everyday. She is so smart and absolutely beautiful (I am biased, I know). I don't know what I did to deserve such a sweet spirit, but I know I must be loved for Heavenly Father to send her down here for me to teach and love. I love her with all my heart.
4. My Family.
This covers a lot of people. My parents have always loved me and taught me the things I need to know to help me to be a righteous Adult and live the way our Father in Heaven wants. They truly love me. My brothers and sisters, though they may do wrong, I love them. They are my best friends and I love spending time with them.
5.My In-laws.
I couldn't ask for better! They have truly taken me in as a part of their family, and I know without a doubt that they would do anything for me. I am so grateful for all they do for me and my family.
6.My Friends.
I have made so many friends her in Susanville. Thank you all for helping to make our stay here better. My life would surely be a lot different had it not been for you.

So, sorry to totally mooch of you, (you know who you are) but thanks for the wonderful idea. Just a little reminder, this is my journal too, so sorry if this is too mushy for your liking or something you are totally not interested in.

Bye Bye MRSA!

Here is her face just 2 full days after we started her on the new medicine. I am so happy that she is getting better and so quickly! Thank you every one for your prayers and thoughts!
