17 Weeks...

Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — his/her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he/she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. He/She can move his/her joints, and his/her sweat glands are starting to develop.

Colten's Birthday Party

On Saturday we went to Colten's 3rd Birthday Party. He is the son of our friends the Tadtman's and Peyton's friend. It was a great time and Peyton loved playing in the bouncy house.

Here are a bunch of pictures of Peyton having a great time!

Loving it!

Peyton and Mommy at the Birthday party

They had a pinata! The kids loved it and everyone took a turn.

Here is the birthday boy Colten giving some good swings at it.

Peyton wanted to pick up every last piece of candy that was left on the ground.

The Choo Choo Train "Thomas" was very cute and good!

Peyton loved the cake. She looks too big in this picture for me...sad mommy:(

The party was so much fun and it was great to see a lot of our friends that we have not seen in awhile. Things are crazy with everything going on and we all needed this break. The party was great Katie and Justin and thanks for the invite!

The past week in our lives...

Last weekend Peyton and I went home to Kansas City to celebrate my Birthday with the family and to do lots of Christmas shopping. I could not have asked for a better day shopping with my Mom on Saturday. Even when we didn't find everything that we were looking for it was still a great time and I ended up getting really close to being done. I don't get to have many days like that anymore with my Mom and it was truly a wonderful day and one that I wish we could do more often.

On Sunday we went over to my Grandparents place to have lunch and cake for my Birthday. I had not been to their new place yet and I loved it. I can see why they really wanted to move there so badly.

I love this picture of the kids sitting and playing so nice together.

Singing Happy Birthday!
Peyton wanted to take a turn blowing out the candles. I love Ryan in the background!

Showing off my new video camera. I can't wait to use it at Christmas!

Grandpa and Grandma Horton checking out pictures of baby Grayson David.

Peyton got an early Christmas present from her Great Grandparents.

Ride Horsey! Ride Horsey! Is what she says all the time now. I think that this girl dreams about that horse every night. She rides it every night for at least an hour or more.

Brandon got this K-State headband as a gift on Monday and Peyton puts it on her head every night...silly girl!

Peyton loves playing Basketball or she would say "B-Ball" We need to get her a new basketball to shoot hoops with, but she is having just as much fun shooting with a baseball.

-Check her out...

Happy Birthday Grandma Yoder!

Happy Birthday Debbie! We all hope that you have a great day and look forward to being able to celebrate with you in a week.

We love you and wanted you to know that we are thinking about you all day today.

-Brandon, Kelly, and Peyton

14 Weeks...

Welcome to the second trimester! This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb. Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him -- a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb. In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches -- about the size of a lemon -- and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me!

It has been another great year filled with many wonderful memories. I feel very blessed for the life that I live and the people that care about me. I'm sure that this next year is only going to keep getting better.

Me and Peyton this morning

Flashback to last year. I have not changed much, but look at Peyton. My big girl!
I have already received many Birthday wishes and I want to Thank you all. It is great to have such wonderful family and friends who care about you.

Peyton Allison would like to say...

I'M THE

BIGSISTER!!!

That is right! Brandon and I are going to be having another baby and Peyton is going to be the big sister. We are very excited and looking forward to this new journey in our lives.

Here is a quick update and hopefully I can answer some questions.

When is the Due Date: June 14, 2010

Are we going to find out the sex: YES

How far along are you? I am 13 weeks. We went to see the doctor last Monday and heard the heartbeat. It was a strong 153 bpm

How are you feeling? I have been feeling great. Hardly any morning sickness which has been great. I have been having gall bladder pain again this time, so that is not a lot of fun.

I will make sure and keep you all updated with this baby as much as I did with Peyton.
