January 09

Not too much going on at the Peay house these last few weeks. The weather has been pretty typical, warm and cold. We have a beautiful day and then the next is cold. Therefore everyones allergies have been running ramped. If Kleenexes stocks were down because of the recession we have given them the boost they need. Katie hates getting her nose wiped, she will single handed shred a tissue into a hundred pieces before it come close to her nose. You have to be very sneaky when you want to make your attack. In just a few short days Katie will turn one. My how fast it has gone. We have loved every minute of this precious miracle grow and change. I got so excited the other day, I can put a tiny bow in her hair. Just a few strands have grown out, not many. Andy and Katie have their first official date coming up. Our church is hosting a Daddy-Daughter dance and they will be attending. She was so young last year, she could not go. How adorable she will look in her pretty dress and how handsome her Daddy will be in his suit. It is quite the event here. The boys are up to there norm. Clayton has vowed to change his birthday, he hates being last and has informed us on many occasions. Caden will turning 4 on Feb 19. He would like a blue rocket cake and that's all, he does have bit of a sweet tooth. Hopefully by next week I can have everything from Katie's birthday uploaded.

January 2009!!!

Happy New Year ! Time sure has flown in 2008, we have had many adventure, discovery and love for this wonderful life of ours. All of course has been guided by our great Lord and savior... Our most recent adventure was in the mountains of New Mexico. We loaded up the truck and took the kids to Ruidoso for Christmas. Wow, what a beautiful sight. The mountain was just gorgeous with new snow, we of course did not ski. I thought it was best for this novice cold weather family to check things out first, before diving in. Plus that the kids are just too small to be left with an Indian tribe. However, we did tackle the mountain, Andy drove a whooping 10 miles an hour up the 12 miles to the top. You should have seen the line behind us, be glad you were not in it! The point is he got us there safely and in one piece, yarn would be a better guard rail as to what they had. At the top it was just spectacular, the kids loved throwing snowballs and making snow angels. Caden loved watching the airplanes fly over and yes you could actually read the name of the airline. We felt Katie wasn't bundled up enough, so we wrapped her in Andy's jacket. All you could see was her sweet head. Both boys had to take snow back with them and yes it has made it all the way home into my freezer. We were so blessed that we got a sprinkling of snow Christmas night at our house and the next day was a full on snow shower. I think we ended up with about 6 inches. The boys got to break out the sled and go sledding. We played in it, ate it, made snow angels and anything else you could think of we did it all day long. My apologies go to the home owner, some of the cookie sheets aren't exactly the same. Its amazing how far you can slid on one of those, just ask our friend Sarah...Then after a good day of playing in the snow, it is always a necessity to get comfy in your pajamas and have a PJ party with great friends. Enjoy are pictures and I wish you love for this incredible and beautiful new year
