I'm "Over the Hill"

I turned 30 yesterday and it was awesome. I woke up with a huge zit on my forehead and a cold-sore! But I did get to spend the day with my family, husband and all! We went to Classic Fun Center with Jaci & Parker, Larsia, and Christina & her 3 boys. Andy and Kami couldn't make it because of sick kids.
We were there for about 4 hours and loved every minute of it...except Jamie that went home about an hour into it. He said, "there's a reason I'm NOT a Mom!" but I'm glad he came for a little while.
Anyway, thanks to all of you that called and sang to me, sent me cards, text messages, and emails! I feel very LOVED!!!!!!

Grandpa Sweat's Pond

Peyton got to stick her feet in the water at Grandma & Grandpa's house. She loved it, but you should have heard the "FIT" she had when we took her out.


We took advantage of a family photo moment. Turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

Peyton pulls this face all the time. I think it's so cute and I'm glad I captured it on film.

At the Park with Daddy

We've been doing a ton of fun things as a family and have enjoyed having our Daddy home.

Peyton's eating rice cereal

Peyton started rice cereal last week. She got to the point that whenever we'd sit down to eat in front of her, she'd cry and have a fit until we gave her what we were eating.

She also loves ice cream or just the cone, sweet potatoes, whipped cream, potatoes and gravy, and did I mention, ICE CREAM!!!

"Ivie" Reunion in Scipio

When ever we have an Ivie reunion, we always end up in a water fight before it's over. We had a great time and loved to see every body and all the little ones that have joined the family over the past few years.

Saige was staying out of the way and trying to get dry.

Colten & Jenna fighting over the hose. She was doing such a good job soaking him....then he got the upper hand and it was all over!!!

2 of my cousins dragging my Mom over to the hose. In the end, she lost the battle.

Jamie & Peyton laughing at those getting wet while staying clear of the fun. They did end up getting wet, VERY WET! You should have seen the FIRE in Daddy's eyes when most of a 5 gallon bucket of water got dumped on his baby.

They did get to enjoy the day once the water was all put away.

Taylorsville Dayz @ The Fry House

We had a fun BBQ at Kelly & Trish's house. It was a bunch of family and friends eating, chatting, and having a water fight.

My Mom holding Peyton. I love this pic of my Mom.

Saige on the Bounce 'Round water slide.

Saige being thrown down the slide by her uncles. She got some good distance.

Then a water fight broke out with the adults. That's my Uncle Kelly with his shirt pulled over his head and my Dad Whoopin' on my cousin.

My Dad was trying to throw my cousin Ash in the water when he was attacked and it ended up more like a Dog-Pile on Ash.

My brother Colten and his Woman, Jenna. They are such a cute couple. I bet he's thinking of a way to tease or torment someone even as we speak.

My brother Jade and his Woman, Amanda. He was trying to be sexy and show me a little of his stark-white leg....Woo, Woo!! Gotta love the Mullet too, Jade has always been his own fashion statement. As soon as people quit asking him about it, he'll cut it off, cuz it's just for show.

The Lehi Parade & Rodeo

We went to the Lehi parade and Rodeo with Grandpa & Grandma Sweat for Grandma's Birthday. We had a ton of fun and Peyton got to go to her first rodeo and wear her pink John Deere Cowgirl Boots.
This is the girls waiting for the parade to start.

Peyton is enjoying her first bit of parade candy. A yummy Tootsie Roll that she about sucked down her throat. She had a great time and I bet you can't tell that Grandma is ever so proud to show her grand-girls off.

Saige was having a great time checking out the floats as they went by.

She was trying to be patriotic but was a little too tired.

Saige's Kindergarten Program

Sorry there hasn't been a post for a while but Jamie has been home and we've been spending alot of fun time as a family. I have a TON to post, so keep watching over the next day or so.

Saige had to make an "Unusual Pet" for her pet show. Her creativity really came through. She decided to make a "BIRTLE" it's half Bird-half Turtle. It's made from a drink carrier, toilet paper rolls, and fruit cups. We spray painted it green and put the fixin's on it. Looks Cute Huh?

Saige had her pet show and program on her last day of school. Here she is showing off her pet.

Here she is singing one of her very darling songs. She is always out front singing her little heart out and doing the actions to the fullest.

Here she is with her teacher Mrs. Johnson. She was such a awesome teacher and her and Saige got along great.

Here are some of her little girly friends that she made this year.
