Our Little Stinkers

Here are some newish pictures of the kids taken at random places out and about.

Fun Weekend

Josh's parents were visiting from South Carolina and we had a lot of fun spending time with them. We don't get to see them very often so it was great to hang out with them all weekend. On Thursday we played at Liberty Park, Friday we went to the Hogle Zoo, Saturday we went to a fun spray park, and Monday we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was such a fun weekend and Jack had a blast playing with Gma/Gpa and Taylor. We love you guys and can't wait till we get to see you again!!

Peyton @ 2 months and other new pics

I have been slacking big time but am finally posting new pictures! Peyton is 2 months now and is getting cuter by the minute. She is such a happy, mellow little bug and we love her to death. At her 2 month checkup she was in the 75th percentile for weight, and 90th for height so she is growing like crazy! Jack was always so low on the charts so it's kind of fun to see her at the top. (Already comparing them, I know!) She is a very good sleeper which I ,of course, just adore. Jackson has always slept great and I was hoping she would be the same, turns out she is!

It was a really rough transition for me at first, going from one child to 2 - but now it is so fun and I love my kids so much! Josh is such an awesome husband and dad, I couldn't ask for more. He has helped me SO much, I don't know what I would do without him! Love you, Honey!! We feel so lucky and blessed to have 2 adorable, healthy kids.

Our baby girl is here!!

Peyton Olivia Daley was born April 14, 2009 at 6:48 pm. She weighed 7lbs, 5oz and was 20in long. I was induced that morning and was in labor for almost 11 hours. It sounds bad but really wasn't at all! I mean, it was labor and that's no fun but compared to last time it was cake. When it came time to push I only had to push through 2 contractions and she popped right out - in fact she almost came out before the Dr got there!
She is such a good baby so far and we of course just love her to death!! Jackson is very soft and sweet with her, always wanting to give her hugs and kisses. He has been acting out more than usual but we're hoping that he is just getting adjusted to her being here and that it won't last too much longer! We are so blessed to have our 2 adorable kids!

Lynlee's Baby Shower

On March 21st my Mom, Hilary and I threw Lynlee a baby shower. We had a lot of fun planning it and she was happy with how it turned out so that's the most important thing. It's always good to see friends and family and everyone seemed to have a good time! Hilary made stencils and we painted onesies, they all turned out so cute! Lynlee's favorite treat is sugar cookies so we made lots and lots and I think I ate about 16 - I couldn't help it they were so good!! She is due May 31st and is having a boy that she is naming Rorke Clarkston Stierle. I really wish that she lived closer cause I don't know when I'll get to see him in person but I can't wait. This is her 1st and I am so excited for her and Gunnar!

Girls Weekend

Last weekend I went to SLC with my Mom and sisters for an all-girls March Madness Extravaganza Getaway. (My Mom called it something like that, I'm sure I didn't get it right!) Lynlee was down from MT and Hilary came down from WY for Lynlee's baby shower (pics of that to come) We decided there was no better time to get away from the boys for a weekend! We shopped and stayed in a hotel and played cards and ate junk food - meaning it was absolutely fabulous! We had such a good time, I love spending time with the girls!! I love you! It was over way too fast, but hopefully we'll get to do it again soon.

Random Acts of Kookiness

I was informed by Natalie that I seriously needed to update my blog. I have been aware of this for some time but apparently I just needed a little nudge (thanks Nat!). I really have nothing new to share, that's been one of the reasons I haven't added anything for a while. Until I have some real stuff, here's a few silly pictures Jackson and I have taken. I get bored a lot (as if you couldn't tell!), so I make Jackson take a lot of random, weird pictures with me.

Other people do this, don't they?

Who knew I was so monkey-like?

I know he looks tortured, but I swear he thought it was funny too!

He was trying to smile, his mouth just isn't as gigantic as mine and it didn't really come across

We were doing some repairs around the house

Jackson insisted on the goggles, he wasn't about to take any chances - those
darn plastic tools can be dangerous!
