May 2009

Hard to believe that it has been two years since Peyton graced us with his presence.

This boy is growing up:

He wants to use the potty

using a fork/spoon to eat

talks like there is no tomorrow

def. hit the terrible twos, we are a tantrum throwing toddler now a days.

He is still as cute and as cuddly as can be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEYTON!!!

We love you

mommy, daddy, michael and casey

401K

Brian finally got his yearly review at work (only 2 weeks late). He now has vacation time, yipee, and is eligble for his company's 401K. We are finally at a place where we can start contributing. It is quite confusing though. I am hoping that the company's financial advisors will be able to point us in the right direction of investing our money iin todays economy.

The nice thing about the vacation is that since Brian was told he couldn't take a vacation in June if he wanted to work on the job at Shell, he will be able to take a little time off when Baby Girl comes. He will also be able to use vacation time for his hunting trip. YIPEE!!!

Looking forward to not having to worry about his week long hunting trip and where the money would come from with him not working. I think we will need to plan our Disneyland trip for the summer next year. Brian won't have vacation time left around the schools spring breaks time.

It's DONE

............well almost. Just one more step and two years after it was started and IT is DONE!!! What is it I am talking about?? Peyton's baby quilt. IT has sat for the last year and a half because all I had left to do was the binding. I HATE hand stitching and the binding is where I get stuck. I still have the second quilt of Casey's to finish because I need to handstitch the binding.

I told myself that I would have Peyton's done before his party on Sunday and I am finished. Just have to get some yarn and tie it off. I also have enough fabric leftover that I will be able to make him a matching pillowcase. So happy to be done. Now I can work on getting the rest of little girls blanket done. The top of her quilt is sewn together. Now I just have to get the batting and pick out material for the backing and binding. Maybe this one will be done before the baby is born or shortly after.
