Peyton's Soda shop

Peyton turned six last month.  We finally got around to having a birthday party for her a couple of weeks ago and we made fun ice cream sundae and milkshake cupcakes.  

  Peyton loves being in the spotlight and had such a great time with all her little friends and cousins.  She got a new flashy pink scooter! Here she is with all her little friends.  I made her the poodle skirt just for the occasion.  Peyton is so much fun to have around. She is a friendly sweet little girly girl  and lives to dress up.  We love you Peyton Lee.

Reunited

 Just this week I have finally felt like I live in a real home. Not a construction zone (although we are still under construction).  It is finally finished enough to hang some pictures and keep it sort of clean.  It feels so great to have everything unpacked and all in one place.  As I unpacked boxes of things that I had not seen in 18 months I would sing to myself...Reunited and it feels so good.... I know I am a dork but I just can't express how I feel about having everything organized and having a place.  It feels like home.  It feels like my life used to feel in Colorado.  Happy and settled.  My kids have friends, love their school, we love the neighborhood and the area. We are just so blessed to be here and I definitely feel like this is where we were meant to be. It is interesting how we are led to where we belong no matter how hard we resist sometimes.  I think I resisted pretty hard. South Jordan was not on my list of places I desired to live.  Who knew? It is really spectacular here and we absolutely love it. Here are some pictures of the areas of the house that are mostly finished.  I will post more when we get other areas finished.
