Ladybug Birthday

I can't believe she is already "1". It seems like we just brought her home from the hospital. Here are some pictures from her Ladybug Birthday. It turned out so cute. Thanks everyone who helped me pull this together. We love this little stink and couldn't imagine life without her. She is so much fun. She went to the Dr. the day after her birthday and she was 21 pounds 14 ounces and 30 inches long. She is not a baby anymore. She is walking around now more than crawling and has had a few bruises from falling. Love you Princess Peyton!!! (My Mom made this amazing hat to match this amazing dress my friend Krystal made.) Once she opened this present from Aunt Camie and Uncle Beau, she didn't want anything else.

Here she is cruising in her new car Grandma and Grandpa Rice gave her. We are so excited to ride it down to the park! My friend Toni made all the cute cupcake liners, toppers, candy wrappers, water bottle covers, and banner! I think it turned out amazing!!

This is how it started.....

This is how it ended!!!! YUM!!!! Thanks Aunt Sheerstie for the super cute bib! It was perfect!

Our Little Vampire

Several weeks ago, Peyton got two more teeth. They weren't the front two though, they were the ones on the sides of the front two. She looks like a vampire. It is so funny. It makes me laugh everytime she smiles. Derek always says, "I want to such your blood," to her and she giggles. It is so funny. Since then, the two front ones have popped through too. I am sad she won't be our little vampire for much longer!

Easton's Baptism

Easton got Baptized on March 5. It was such a special day. We are so proud of you Easton for making the right choice to be baptized. You looked so handsome in your new suit. You are growing up so fast. Continue to make the right choices so that one day you will be able to return to live with you Father in Heaven! We LOVE you!!!


Easton got baptized with Connor Thorson from our Mountain Park Ward

Easton's 8th Birthday

Easton celebrated his 8th Birthday on Feb 20. I can't believe we have an 8 year old. This is such a special birthday and Easton was spoiled. He got scriptures, his scout uniform, and his Dad got him a 22 against my better judgement. The deal is that he has to take piano lessons and if he drops out the gun goes bye bye! He also got just what he asked for a $50 bill from Grandma Rice. We had dinner and he wanted pie instead of cake. Thanks to all the Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins for helping him celebrate!

Easton Science & Art Fairs

Easton participated in both the Science and Art Fairs this year. He is obsessed with Storm Chasers so Derek helped him make a Tornado. It was really cool even though we ran out of dry ice. I am the least artsy person ever so I was not to excited about doing an art project but Easton of course wanted to draw tanks, guns, and army men. We did a mosiac flag to go with it and sponged the camo background. Easton got a first place ribbon and won a movie ticket and treats.
