Organization...

I was so excited to move into our new home (we have been here since October). The two things I was most excited about having were a master bathroom and a garage. We are finally getting to the few small projects that have been on my list since day one. Organizing the garage and building a workbench were on the top of the list. Anyone who knows me well knows that my heart isn't at ease if I feel unorganized. Well people, my heart is finally at ease (at least more at ease than before)!! The last two weekends were spent cleaning, organizing and building (just a few of my favorite things). Well, not so much cleaning but I like the end result so I do it. We got an awesome hanging system for our garage, it's called the Rubbermaid Fast Track. It was a little pricey but well worth it! This weekend we built our workbench. Let me tell you, I have been waiting 6 years to build a workbench. From the second I became a home owner I was putting my plans together. It turned out awesome and the best part is, Dan and I did it together and didn't bicker once! Anyone who has been around us knows we don't usually work well together, but we had a great time doing it. I forgot to take a before picture so I dug up the one I had, it's from a different angle so it doesn't show much but the after pictures sure do.Before

Everything on the ground here is garbage, we ran out of room, except the big ladder is Dan's Mom's and the small one behind it is the new ladder Dan got for his birthday, sort of a selfish gift on my part but oh well.

Crack up

Peyton and Bailey have so much fun together. They often have these random laughing spurts where either Bailey or both of them are laughing over nothing more than a silly noise or look.

Monthly Pictures...

The kids are getting so old. I really can't believe Bailey is going to be turning 1 next month! Peyton has been acting so much older lately, I really need to be better about writing down all the funny things he is saying. Bailey is starting to say a few things too. She has been saying "what's that", "eyes", "Peyton", "Jackson" and of course "Mama" and "Dada". She has been so much better since her surgery, I am glad she got it done.

Peyton- 3 years 6 months.

Bailey- 11 months.

Bailey's Surgery

Bailey had her surgery (tubes in her ears) a few weeks ago, March 30th. I haven't blogged about it because I wasn't able to get the pictures and video off my PDA until now. The surgery went really well, it only took about 15 minutes and she was in recovery for about an hour. Before the surgery she was a little anxious about all the strangers coming in and out so the anesthesiologist suggested some Versed to calm her down a little. We gave her the medicine and she was so loopy! It was hilarious, she couldn't even hold her head up. After the surgery she was so mad! Nothing could calm her down. They say the babies just get really mad because they are really groggy and they can't figure out what is going on. After a while she fell asleep and she was fine after that. These last few weeks have been a lot better. She has been much happier and I think she is glad to finally be feeling like herself again!

Check out that bed head hair!

GH3

We have been having a lot of fun with Guitar Hero III. We got another guitar so we are able to battle and play co-op careers now. It has been so much fun and we have all gotten a lot better. Peyton loves to rock out!

Sally...

So... here is the new addition to our family. We got her a few weeks before Easter, she is about 12 weeks old now. Peyton was upset that we didn't get a male dog so he could name him Lightning McQueen or Optimus Prime so we told him he could name her. He picked Sally, from his favorite show Cars. Neither Dan or I are too fond of the name but that's alright, it fits her. She has been a great dog and she is a very fast learner but she still tests the limits very often. The kids love her and have a great time with her. She is such a cutie. Oh yeah, she's a Beagle.

Easter...

I have been really bad at blogging these last few weeks. I didn't really realize how behind I was 'till I downloaded all the pictures off our camera. The kids got a wagon for Easter this year but since the weather has still been cold we have only been able to use it once. The kids loved it.

Check out Bailey's hair, that's the "day after piggy tails" hair do.
