Peyton's Play List...

*Beyonce - Single Ladies

*Britney Spears - Womanizer

*Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA

*Kanye West - Heartless

*Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

There are many songs that Peyton is a fan of, but these are the songs right now that she is a fan of listening to right now. It makes me laugh so hard to watch how her dance moves change to each of them and it really sounds like she is singing along during parts of the songs. At least I can say that this girl has good taste in music and Mom and Dad have no complaints to listen to them either. It makes it hard sometimes while I am driving because I want to turn around a watch her.

ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!

Sorry the video is so dark...it was night time and we are trying to get Peyton to go to sleep but we had to do a little dancing first.

Trip to Omaha Zoo...

Back in July we took Peyton to the Omaha Zoo! It was so much fun and we could not have asked for better weather. It was during the time that we had cooler weather and it was so nice to walk around the zoo and not be sweating to death. Peyton had a blast and loved all the animals. We always knew once she saw them because she would say "Ooooh!" and have a huge smile. It was well worth the trip to see her so excited. We stopped in Mount Ayr Friday night to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Yoder and Uncle Drew was in town and they decided to go with us to the Zoo. It was great to have them all be there with us.

Peyton and Daddy checking out the monkey hanging in the tree. Can you see it?

Poor Uncle Drew. He was holding Peyton while she had an accident. It gave the rest of us a good laugh! For some reason Peyton was just filling her diapers like crazy and we ended up having to go through 2 outfits that day. Peyton was our Pee Pot Johnny on this trip!
Peyton checking out the Penguins. She loved them and wanted to touch them so badly This was so cool standing under the water tank and watching sting rays and sharks swimming all around us. Peyton pointing letting us know about the fish and saying "fish"
Loved the jelly fish. Wanting to touch them as you can see.
Peyton and Daddy checking out the elephants
Loved the gorillas
Happy girl at the zoo!
Long day and Peyton couldn't hang on to the end. She was wiped out from having so much fun

Vacation in Hawaii...Week 2

Alright...here are many pictures of our second week in Hawaii. This week was when lots of our friends started showing up for the wedding and we had more activities planned. It was really a different feel because the first week we relaxed on the beach everyday and this week we were doing all kinds of fun things with the bride and groom.


Here are some of our favorite moments from the wedding week!

Brandon and I in front of the waterfall at the Westin Resort & Spa
The view from our room

The Westin was very beautiful and I loved looking at this everyday
Shana and I enjoying the incredible sunset on the first night that she arrived
The Bride and Groom!

Shana, Tina and I excited to go snorkeling
Getting ready to go out and do some more snorkeling after lunch...thankful Brandon started feeling better. He got a little sea sick on the boat.
All the girls hanging out together the night before the wedding
Wedding Day!

Shana looked so beautiful and was so excited that this day was finally here.
Thankfully the rain stayed away and we were lucky enough to get this beautiful rainbow during the ceremony
The Wedding ceremony on the beach. It was gorgeous!
The wedding party
We had to get a picture together on the beach!
Brandon and I at the reception
The Bride and Groom with the Yoder's. This is one of my favorite pictures from the whole vacation with all of us together! We love you guys!!
When you are in Hawaii you have to go to a Luau!
The sunset during the show
Great food!
Loved the Fire Dance
Shawna and I at the end of the Luau...Brandon would not go with me!
Brandon and I did not fly together and it ended up that I was there an extra day so I took advantage of that and decided to Drive the Road to Hana with Shawna.
Here is one of the views that we got the look at while on the road...also you can see just some of the many turns that we had to deal with. This is on some of the nicer roads because it got a bit scary in some areas.
Amazing...I want to go back!
This was on of my favorite spots. I loved the black lava rock and how the waves splashed against it.
Could have stayed here for hours
The rocks were very sharp and we needed to be very careful walking on them...plus we also had to watch for the waves come in too.
There had not been much rain while we were there so the waterfalls were not what I was hoping for but still something beautiful to see
Arch in the lava rock
Small cave at the Black Sand Beach "Alice in Wonderland" is how they described it.
Black Sand Beach...tried to walk on it and it was a little painful without my sandals on
The Seven Sacred Pools...This was a lot of fun to watch all the people that were swimming from pool to pool and jumping off the rocks into the pools. It was a long drive to get to this but it was all worth it. Absolutely Amazing
