Peyton's Birthday cake thanks to Costco!

Peyton blowing out his candle, well sort of. It's a good thing he has an older sister that is good at that so she could help him.

Peyton all nice and clean before eating his birthday cake.

Peyton enjoying every bite of his birthday cake! Hey, you only turn one once so you might as well enjoy it!!!

I can hardly believe that my baby will be one tomorrow, August 27th. I can hardly believe that one year has passed since he was born. It feels like it was just yesterday! We had Peyton's party at my Mom and Dad's on Sunday. He had a blast and got spoiled rotten!!! His favorite part was the cake eating. He dug right in and enjoyed every bite. He even had a second piece! I am so thankful he is a part of our family. We love him very much!!! Love, Mom, Dad, and Baylin

Heather's Baby Shower

SHOUT OUT TO ASHLEY!!!
Ashley designed these fun candy bar wrapper's and let us use them for my sister-in-laws baby shower! They turned out so cute. Thanks Ash for all your hard work and for doing that for us!!!

Center pieces from the baby shower. I thought they turned out great!

We had my sister-in-law, Heather's baby shower last night. It was at my Mom's house and it went so well. Heather got lots of really funa and cute things for Baby Boy Butler. It was a great evening with all of our family! I didn't get any pictures of Heather sorry, so hopefully she will post more pictures on her blog.

Pioneer Day

Baylin before the parade

Baylin crying before the parade. She was a little scared!

Baylin with Brother Berry on the float. He took good care of her!!!



For our Pioneer Day we watched the Days of 47 Parade on the t.v. and Baylin was in the Tooele Children's Parade. It was a really big deal! I thought it would be just a little parade , but no, the wards in Tooele went all out and put on a fabulous parade!!! She was on our wards Primary float. The theme of our float was "Native American Pioneers." I put this costume together and they made and decorated the headbands in Primary last week. She was really scared and crying before the parade and she didn't want to do it and I made her. I left her crying and when the parade got started she was fine and happy. She had such a good time and was so adorable on the float!!! I was so proud of her getting over her fear. She said there was just too many people!

The Old Kitchen

Here are a couple of pictures of what our kitchen looked like when we moved in. Lets just say it's YUCK!!! First of all the blue sponged paint, the ugly rooster wall paper, the blue countertops, the particle board cabinets, and the cream tile all had to go. Last summer before we moved in we took down the rooster wallpaper and painted all the walls brown. Everything else we got rid of this summer.

New Floor


Here is an update on our kitchen remodel. It is looking so good! The kitchen is almost done and Nolan has been working so HARD!!! The only thing left to do in the kitchen is put up the crown molding above the cabinets, put up the tile backsplash and put up the baseboards. I LOVE how it has turned out!!! It is so much better than what I had pictured in my mind. The cabinets are still empty and the kitchen isn't put back together yet, but we are working on it. I will post a picture when it is completely finished!!!
