So if you have been following our family blog you have probably noticed that I am definitely not the best blogger. I can go months without adding anything new, but lately my sister has been on my case about adding new pictures and what not to keep her updated on our family and since I maybe get to see her twice a year I felt like I needed to try to do better. So I have been putting stuff on here from the last couple months of what our family has done. And hopefully I will do a better job at updating our page more frequently. So Brooke this is for you:)
We took Payton over to Ross Park the other day to take a bunch of pictures of him. Every year for Christmas Brock's sisters make Jan a calendar. Since there are 12 grandbabies right now it kind of works out perfectly. So we went to take some up to date pictures of Payton so I could make my scrapbook page for the calendar. It really is a lot of fun and maybe someday I will be able to do it for my mom with my sister cause it always turns out so adorable. We took about 50 or more photos and I thought they turned out pretty good. I know they are not perfect like a professional would do but I like them. I would really love to buy a really nice camera and get into a hobbie of taking pictures. I have always wanted to do that, and I have talked to Brock about it quite a few time. He says that when we can afford a nice camera he will let me buy one. I am so excited for the day we actually have money:)

So we dog sat for the weekend and Payton absolutely loved it! He was definitely born to be around dogs. It really was fun having a little dog running around with Payton. Some day when we move into a house of our own we will buy a dog but there is no question we will be buying an outside dog. I do not do well with pee on my carpet!!! We are planning on buying a fixer-upper house which will be good for a dog so he will be trained by the time we get a real lawn in. But I can't tell you how much Payton loved having that little dog around. While we were watching the dog, whenever we would leave or the dog would do something bad, we would put him in the bathroom where his little bed and pee pad were. (He kind of spent a lot of time in the bathroom.) But for over a week after we gave the dog back whenever we would come home from going out somewhere Payton would walk straight into the house to the bathroom saying... "I want puppy", over and over. It was so cute but so sad at the same time. He really wants a dog and sadly we just cant get him one right now... but we are really hoping someday SOON!!!!

We went to a Halloween party with a bunch of our friends. It was a lot of fun... as you can see Brock went full out with his costume. Mine wasn't great but it worked. Sadly we didn't have time to get Payton one, plus we didn't want to pay any money for one and what we are wearing we borrowed from Brocks parents. It was also sad that we didn't get a picture of Brock and I together. Oh well, the night was a lot of fun!

Here is Payton and Jaden riding the merry-go-round in Minnesota. Payton and I had so much fun visiting Brooke, Jon, and Jaden along with my mom. It was a great trip and we hope to do it again soon. Love you guys!

Here we are at Brae and Ashley's wedding. It was really beautiful! We had a lot of fun with the Johanson family and we are way excited for the newly weds:) They are definately an adorable couple and we love them both. Congrats Brae and Ashley!!!
