Just for fun!

I just thought it was funny that Krissa was trying to comb Paislee's hair in these pictures and that Paislee left this crown on when Krissa put it on her. Also there is video and pictures of Paislee with her favorite little giraffe. In the video she dumped out all her toys to find it. She is growing way to fast.

I've been tagged

I kind of got tagged by kristen to do this. But I thought it was fun so here goes.

Things About My Husband
What is his name- Caleb Brian Peatross
How long have you been together- Married for almost 10years, together for almost 11
How long did you date- We dated for almost 6 months before we got engaged and then we were engaged for 6 months
How old is he- Just turned 31
Who eats more- Generally he does, I could probably meet a good match depending on what it was though.
Who said "I Love You" first- I did and uncomfortably enough he told me a couple days after that:)
Who's taller- He is by 8 inches
Who can sing better- I would say I do, but technically I haven't heard him really ever try to sing other than when he is playing with the kids
Who is smarter- Depends on what it is. If its Math, Brian is definitely smarter, if its English that would be my department.
Who does the laundry- I do, but Brian will switch it over from the washer to the dryer sometimes . He magically ruined a load when we first got married i still think he did it on purpose so he wouldn't have to do laundry.
Who pays the bills- most of the time me. Sometimes together
Who sleeps on the right side- If you are standing there looking at it, Brian does, if you are laying in bed that would be my side. So I guess it depends on how you look at it =)
Who mows the lawn- Most of the time me just because I like the excercise. But he usually does the back yard (there are to many tramps and things to move around)
Who cooks dinner- Me, But Brian does make a mean chicken and dumplings and navajo tacos Who drives- Brian does.
Who is more stubborn- We can both be pretty stubborn,
Who kissed who first- If you want the first kiss story we were on our first date. Brian stopped in front of my house to drop me off and said "So am I going to get a kiss or what" so romantic. It did work though.
Who asked who out first- Brian did
Who proposed- Now that is something Brian did =)
Who has more friends-Probably about equal. Brian is more sociable than me when he meets new people. I tend to hang back and then speak my mind to much later
Who is more sensitive- Me
Who has more siblings- Same. He has 4 brothers. I have 3 brothers and a sister.
Who wears the pants- Depends on what we are wearing the pants about.
I tag anyone who wants to do it. How's that for a tagging =)

Snow Day

Just so you know it takes a lot for the schools to call a snow day in Bellevue. When brian cleaned the drive way yesterday afternoon there was 7 inches of snow. He did the driveway again this morning and there was another foot. Lets just say we have a lot of snow.

and just for comparison our house in the summer.

Happy Adoption Day

It was 5 years ago today that krissa offically became a peatross. We got her a couple books about adoption and I made her a cake. What did we ever do without her!

I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know; the love I feel is deep and real as if it had been so. For us to have each other is like a dream come true. No, I didn't give you the gift of life. Life gave me the gift of you! Unknown Author

Some pictures from when Brian was a kid.

Brian and his little brother mitchell in the soap
box derby car brian built.

Brian says he remembers his Grandpa larry telling them to go ahead and touch the mountain lion and that Brandon is the only one who would.

Christmas morning when all the boys got bikes.

Penguin Pete

Krissa's whole class gets to take home this stuffed penguin. Along with a book about penguin pete and a journal for them to write what they did with penguin pete. Krissa was so cute she wanted me to hide him so they could play hide and seek and she played candy land with him. It was a pretty cute idea. Of course there has been lice going around school and Brian had to ruin a fun thing by saying. That little penguin is probably what is spreading lice around. After a good laugh I quickly inspected pete to make sure he was lice free:)

Either really smart or really dumb dog.

I looked out my kitchen window to see Mowgli balanced like this. Two feet on the barbecue and two feet on the bench. The vent for the dryer right under him. I guess he was trying to get warm.

Fun in a box.

I put Paislee in this box and it kept her and Krissa busy for a good half hour. Why do we bother buying toys.

Princess Paislee

My friend Kristen took these pictures of Paislee there is a ton more but these are some of my favorites. Didn't Kristen do a great job!

Paislee is 8 months old on saturday...

Just thought I would post some then and now pictures its crazy how time flies when your having fun.Paislee a few minutes old.
And Paislee at 8 months.

Paislee attempting to crawl and say mama

Paislee has been trying to crawl (she almost has it). And she can say mama. Well at least I tell myself she knows what she is saying. If you are wondering why she has just a diaper on. Its because I'm getting really tired of washing clothes all day. Yep for the past 3 days I have cleaned up at least 2 blow outs a day. Aww the fun of motherhood.

My little creative artist

Krissa loves to set the table and decorate it. Yesterday she started decorating around 3 and ended up with a decorated napkin. Complete with a colored napkin with stickers and a personalized name and picture,and a sign that says merry Christmas in an empty cupcake wrapper. She is so creative and helpful.

Poor sick baby

Paislee had her first real sickness the other day. Poor thing was throwing up and everything. By the end of the day she was a little better so I put her on the floor to play while we had dinner. Not two minutes later she was asleep on the floor. Thankfully she is feeling much better now.

Blast from the past

This was my kids in 2006 I just saw this and remembered how it was funny that krissa had put marker on her face and then proceeded to color on brady. Its also funny because I was telling them as I took this picture to look sad like they had gotten in big trouble.

Look what I can do!

I was pretty proud of Brady being able to do a cartwheel. He may not stick the landing but he does better than I could do. Which I guess is not saying much :)

Paislee's best friend

We had a girls lunch today so I thought I would take a picture of Paislee and her friend Ashlynn. Sorry its a little blurry its hard to get two babies to look at you at the same time.

Sleigh riding the easy way, behind the 4wheeler and in the yard.

As you can see Brian even got in on the sleigh riding fun. Although he wouldn't go without the kids I think he was scared of me pulling him with the 4 wheeler since he had just taken me for a wild ride.

Vrooom Vroooom

This is what paislee got for Christmas. She is pretty good on it until well as you see below she falls off.
