cute smiles

It seems like Payton has been smiling ever since we brought her home from the hospital, but for some reason it didn't occur to me until the other day to try and capture this cuteness on camera. Well, for your viewing pleasure......

(sorry about the high quality of the photos from my camera phone. it was closer to me than the camera. I know, lazy.)

We are under contract!!!

In January I posted that we had put our house up for sale, and amidst the excitement of Payton, I totally forgot to update how all that is going. Well, a couple weeks ago our house went under contract, which was way faster than we thought in this market so after a moment of panic we started looking at new homes. I don't want to be homeless, I don't. We found an amazing home in Herriman that had everything we are looking for. We put in our offer, and 2 weeks later we finally are under contract with that house!! Now I am really trying not to get my hopes up because I know how many things can go wrong in the sale/purchase of a house. We are still super excited and are just keeping our fingers crossed that everything works out and we will be moving April 7th!!!!

Paytons Blessing

Payton was blessed today, March 8th 2009. I was given an amazing idea by my friend Heidi to use your wedding dress to make a blessing dress. My mom went to work and made an incredible mini replica blessing dress out of my wedding dress. I am seriously in love with this thing. It turned out amazing! Payton looked beautiful. She slept through the blessing which was given by my wonderful Grandpa. We had an open house after with a ton of food! Lasagna, spaghetti, salads and cookies. It was all delicious! We are just winding down now and going through all the pictures of her wonderful day.

I think she looks like an angel
