Windows still waiting,

Life took us to Peoria for Surgery

Peyton and I with our hospital bracelets

New special gifts from the hospital

Life took us to Peoria Methodist Medical yesterday.
Peyton had to have some special surgery done.
He was soooooo brave and did just awesome!
We are so proud of our Peyton!

In Recovery

Friday evening after laying down for 30 hours,
Peyton our weather lover was up for sitting up
and watching the storm roll in tonight on our porch
a few minutes later wiped out again and laying
back on the couch!

Putting the first nails into the walls


A few years back I was visiting my best buds home in Michigan
and she had the most adorable silhouettes hanging up of her girls.
I then asked my creative artistic sister in law Marne if she
could help me out and make some of our boys.
Marne jumped on the challenge. And came up with
these perfect silhouettes of Peyton & Preston

These are the first two pictures hung at 1214 Hillcrest!

Peyton's Bunk Beds

The built in bunk beds turned out PERFECT!
No one uses the top bunk yet
maybe when they are
8 or 9 years old.
Seems a little dangerous at 3 & 5



Move in Day - Peyton's Room



Peyton's room at the LITTLE BRICK HOUSE.
Peyton loves his new room!
I think this pool playing shark has a different pool table in every room!


Move in Day - May 2010

We moved into the little brick house 2 months ago!
After 5 years of living here in Normal IL we finally feel settled!
Lots of fun things going on here! Im back to posting on the blog,
there was no room for our Mac Desktop in this house (so now
putting my new laptop birthday present into works), no room for half
of our furniture, which is being stored at a storage unit, until we figure
out what we will need in the addition. No room for all our clothes, toys and
pictures. No room for half of our kitchen things, no room for our
elliptical and tread mill. But we are a million times happier here!
