Interview with Bataan Death March Survivor

My dad knows a man that was in the Bataan Death March during WWII and he agreed to meet with us and tell us his story. What an amazing and interesting story, we are so lucky he let us record it as it is something we will always have and be able to go back and watch. Tanner and I talked about it most of the way home and it brought up so much more and something I had the opportunity to bond with Tanner on, what an amazing day and experience! Thanks Daddy!

It's light out so I gotta wear my sunglasses

The other morning when it was barely light when I took Peyton to school, he got so excited that it wasn't dark that he had to wear his sunglasses. When I asked why do you have your sunglasses on he replied it's light outside! Too cute!!

KID ROCK Concert

I went to the KID ROCK concert with my friends Missi & Christie. We had 15th row but because the stage came out into the audience we were actually 3rd row from where he performed most of the night. It was an amazing concert and was probably the most entertaining concerts I've ever seen. My throat and feet were killing me but it was so worth it!

Peyton & Tanner-Snowball Fight

Tanner

We went sledding on Saturday January 22, 2011. Peyton had a blast and really enjoyed going down on the tube by himself but also really enjoyed going down on the other sleds especially laying down on my back, he laughed and giggled the entire time. He had a little trouble climbing back up the hill so I got my exercise by carrying him or pulling him back up the hill. We had snow ball fights and made snow angels.

Happy New Year!!!

Me and Peyton...my new years hug

We had our annual New Years Eve Party. It was a great evening and the kids had a blast watching movies, jumping on the trampoline and playing with toys. The adults had a great time catching up and telling stories. The perfect way to bring in the New Year!!

We took family photos this past weekend and Aunt Chel came out to take them for us. Then we attended a Christmas Party where Santa showed up. Peyton was so excited to see Santa and ran over to him and climbed up in his lap and told him he wanted Batman, which is what he has been asking for, for the last week. He shocked us that he was so excited and willing to sit and talk to Santa.

Seeing Santa

On Friday December 10,2010 we went to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop. Peyton walked up and gave Santa a high five and then he sat down with him and posed for a picture. He told Santa he wanted a blue car.
