Still Here!

OK I'm still here, hopefully somebody out there still is too!  It has been a crazy busy life lately!  Anyway, I left off with March and us going to the rodeo.  After that, we got some great news that we were accepted to buy a house of our own here in Texas!  We are so happy to have a place of our own.  Peyton loves it and so do we!  Bailey enjoys his yard!
 Me and Peyton got our first of many mother/daughter pedicures!  We had to have pretty toes for vacation!  We had a blast!
 In early April we went on a family vacation!  Peyton's first cruise!  It was so beautiful and so much fun.  Peyton loved it.  You know how much she loves to swim!  It was a great family vacation.  We got to spend a lot of time together just relaxing and hanging out!
As soon as vacation was over, Seth's parents came in for a visit and we closed on our new house!  We slowly started to move some things from the old house to the new house too.
 
That same weekend was our first Easter in Texas!  It was definitely different and we missed our families terribly, but we had a nice day just the three of us!
A couple days after Easter my parents and cousin Megan came down to help us do the big move!  It was busy and tiring, but so much fun!
OK I think that is enough for today!  I am almost caught up!  Lots more to come!

WOW

We have had so much happen in the last couple of months!  I feel horrible not keeping up with this blog.  I really want to, but things have been so crazy!  I am promising myself now to stay on top of it!  So, my last post was Christmas?!  Wow.

Peyton has been learning to ride a bike with training wheels instead of her tricycle.
We took Peyton to a princess tea party at the Disney Store and she loved it!
We have spent a lot of time outside, which we aren't used to from living in Maryland.  It has been nice being able to play outside year round!
We had a Valentine's Day photo shoot.

Peyton loves to play with her new sand and water table.
Peyton got her very first hair cut in February!  She wasn't so sure about it at first, but she did really good and it looks much better.  We only got it trimmed up to even it out.  We love it long!
Peyton is doing excellent in gymnastics!  She loves it so much!
We found a small petting zoo and play place near us.  It is so much fun!  We plan to spend many days there!
We have been working on some school work at home to keep us busy!
We went to the Houston zoo with some friends at church!
We experienced something everyone in the Houston area must experience - the Houston Rodeo parade and Houston Livestock show and Rodeo!  Peyton loved the parade - her 1st one ever!
We signed Peyton up for soccer and she loves it!  She does so well!
My parents and sister came into town to go to the Houston Rodeo with us!  It was our first time and it was so fun!
So that is part of what has been going on here!  More to come!!!!

Christmas Vacation

Peyton and I had an extended vacation in Maryland after all the holidays!  We stayed until January 15th with my family.  We really enjoyed being able to just hang out and spend time together!  Aunt Susan and Kenny stayed at my parents house while we were in Vermont so they were still there when we got back!  Peyton loved playing with them!
Peyton also enjoyed playing with my parents dog Max!  He is the exact same type of dog as our Bailey, with curly hair!  We had fun playing and visiting other family!
We got to watch Emily play basketball and got to play in some snow!
We had a birthday party for Emily the night before we left
As you can tell we had a very busy, but very fun vacation!  I am so blessed with a wonderful family!  They're the best!
