HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY PEYTON!!

Last night we had Peyton's first birthday party at the Clubhouse. It was so much fun and all her little friends were there. Everyone had a great time.(I hope) Peyton loved it she did not want to be held at all by me. She just wanted to go and play and do her thing. She hardly even wanted to eat, crazy girl! But she did want to eat her cupcake and she really enjoyed it! =)

LOST and FOUND

For about the last week our crazy dogs have been escaping from our yard. It has been driving me CRAZY!! Then the other day right before I had to take Elton to school I realized "Oh our dogs have been really quiet" I go to check on them and once again they have weaseled there way under the fence and down the baranca. Usually they come back when they get tired but on this particular day they DID NOT! We were so sad, Elton cried and prayed, our friends prayed, we went to the shelters and of course they were closed. So we prayed some more went to bed. When Elton was done with school on Wednesday we went back out to the shelter we walked the whole thing looking in every kennel. Then we went into the office to check they told us to look in another area as we were walking over to the last kneel... there were our boys! Together!! It was so awesome they were so excited to see us. God was so good to save our two crazy dogs.

ITS OFFICAL

He is his fathers son!! Yesterday we went to court and finalized the adoption. Elton is officially a WENGER. We could not be more excited! Elton had no idea what it was about, he just thinks he has always been little Wenger and that Branden has always been Daddy. I love it and so does Branden. At first Elton did NOT want to go to a meeting he said he was staying with a babysitter and totally not going. I had to explain that we all had to go. Branden's brother and dad came so did my parents it turned out pretty good he got a stuffed Rhino that he named Rhinee and a sucker. What a perfect meeting =) He even told Peyton next time we have a meeting like this she could get her own stuffed animal. So sweet! We are so happy to have finally have it done and over with.

COFFEE IN THE MORNING

Most of you know that my sister is a crazy amazing artist. I love her art work and I love hanging it in my house. She had a really cool one that I have been wanting for a while and my mom finally got it for me for my birthday. I LOVE IT! (Sidenote) When Branden and I first got together and then married we would have coffee everyday and sit at the table and talk about our day and just what was going on. Now that we have two crazy kids we still have coffee but we dont really get to sit and take time to chat about the day. So I really loved this paiting. Also the funny thing is my, very sweet friend Melissa got me some really cool mugs that I have been wanting and they match perfect!!

HOME AT LAST

We left Tahoe last night at 7:45 and got home at 4:30. We were tired and sticky but once again the kids slept the whole time and we were able to put them back in bed when we got home. It was such a great trip! We cant believe the weather that we came to what a difference a 9 hour drive makes.

From there to here =)


She is super excited to be in shorts and 70 degree weather =)
