Jeff and Tyler Lackey

Peyton 6 months

So I'm a little late on posting about Peytons six month Dr.'s Appointment since he's almost seven months. I am going to post it anyways. We went to his Doctor's appointment and he was such a good boy after waiting 30 min in the waiting room and about 20 min in the exam room he was still so good. Then we had to wait for about another 15 min so the nurse could give him his shots and by that time he was so tired he fell asleep in Jeffs arms. Needless to say he wasn't very happy when we had to wake him up and poke needles in his legs. Overall though he was really good.

Peyton had four shots and an oral vaccination.

Weight: 18lbs 60%

Length: 27 1/2 in. 90%

Head Circum: 17 1/2 in. 60%

Utah State Fair

Jeff and I have never been to the state fair before so we decided to go with our friends Loni and Tyler. It was a blast! Peyton didn't really know what was going on but he was really good.

They had photo booth pictures for free!

That is my very expensive, fattening and tasty funnel cake.

I Love This Kid!!!

If you press pause on the music you can hear him laughing.

Surprise!!!

For our anniversary we have gone to P.F. Changs every year. I'ts kind of our tradition. We are going to have Jeff's mom babysit tomorrow so we can go but I wanted to do something today for our actual anniversary day. I didn't really feel like cooking so I was trying to think of something Jeff would like and it didn't take very long because he could eat pizza every day and not complain. So I ordered some pizza and lit some candles for a "very romantic dinner". Luckily Peyton slept for 3 hours so we could eat.

Jeff suprised me with these flowers today. He had them sent to the house. I love them!

FIVE FABULOUS YEARS!

I can't believe it's been five years since Jeff and I got married. Time really goes by fast. I just want to tell Jeff that he has been the best husband ever! I am so greatful that we were able to meet so young and know that we were going to get married and have have a wonderful life together. Jeff is a great father to our beautiful son Peyton who is five months old. I just want to let him know how greatful I am for him.

Family Cruise to Western Carribean

We just got back from a family cruise. It was so much fun to go and have such a fun and relaxing week. We went to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. When we went to Grand Cayman we went swimming with the stingrays and snorkeling. We were all so scared to get into the water at first but towards the end it wasn't as bad. When we went to Cozumel we went on some mini jeeps and went to go see the Myan temple and some crocodiles; then we drove the jeeps to a beautiful beach the the guide took us out on a mile long snorkeling trip. It was a blast. The last day when we got back to Florida we went parasailing. I was so scared at first but once we left the back of the boat it was amazing how beautiful and peaceful it was up there.

Here are some pictures. I don't have the pictures from the sting rays or parasailing yet so I will post those later.

The three pictures above are from dinner the first night.

Fireworks at the Bee's Game

Our friends Loni and Tyler invited us to the Bee's game on July 25. It was so much fun. We didn't get there until it was half way over but I was glad because I don't think Peyton could have lasted the whole time.

Peyton was trying to grab the camera.

Peyton was a tired boy.

Check out Peyton's face. This is what he looked like the whole time the fireworks were going. It was pretty funny.

4 1/2 months

Here are some pictures of Peyton the other day. He was being so cute! I wanted to put all the pictures on here but they were all pretty much the same so I just decided to spare you and I only picked a few.

Peyton smiling in his swing.

Peyton loves to play with his toes.

Playing with toys.

I always wrap Peyton up like a burrito when he goes to sleep. The other day I put him down for a nap in his usual burrito wrap, and when I went to check on him this was the result.

Our new Nephew

Our nephew Alexander Scott Benedict was born on July 5, 2008 and was 8lbs 9oz and 21 inches.

Centerville Parade

We went to the Centerville parade and sat in Liz's parents front yard. It was so much fun to be with friends. Liz and Steve are moving to El Centro California on July 7, so this is one of the last times we get to be with them. I am going to miss them so much.

Fireworks July 3rd

On July 3rd we went to our friend Loni's parents house to watch Eaglewood fireworks. It was so much fun to hang out with all our friends and have grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Peyton loved to watch the big fireworks and he didn't even get scared from the loud noises.
