before TX

when the decision was made to move to TX,
i knew there was a few things that needed to happen first.
a girls outing with my Taylor family.
we decided to go to Time Out for Women.
this is what i was greeted with on my way out the door.
it was great to get away and spend some time with the sils and mil.
of everything in AZ, i miss these peeps the most.
a few last visits with my ailing grandparents.
my girls LOVED visiting grandma and grandpa Pete.
he would take his teeth out and make us all laugh.

we got to practice holding a baby when Wyatt came to my sil Caitlin.
the girls were fascinated and in love instantly.
jeff and i were inflated with love for wyatt and excitement for out little boy.

we enjoyed one last AZ rainstorm with one of the girls
favorite accessories: an umbrella
the girls had their soccer banquet and received some awesome trophies.
jeff and i got a few nights out on the town.
pei-wei and barnes and noble:
asu vs. arizona football
we hit up a bunch of fall festivities and fairs including the AZ state fair

we got to visit with mom and dad peterson and brett's family for thanksgiving.
the girls loved the quality time with the cousins.
my family and a few friends had a get together to celebrate the baby and say good-bye.
do you think i like the boots?
i taught my last zumba class and they all stuffed their shirts with balloons for the warm-up.
it was quite comical.
i'm in the front in all black without a balloon. i really miss my class.
the girls were bats for halloween and i was a pot-belly pig.
we trick-or-treated with the cousins.
we even had some crafty times around halloween to help with decorations.
after all the fun times we packed up and left, but not without one
last group hug with the cousins and grandma.
(phew. that was a long mixed-up post.)

painting frenzy/10 months

last week i went on a painting frenzy. i started with my doorknobs. they were that ugly gold/brass color (sorry for any of you that have those). i hated the way they looked. yup thats right, spray paint baby! it was pretty fun. i was reminded of doing homecoming floats in h.s. i wanted to just buy new knobs but they're pretty pricey. spray paint will do for now. next was the rooster. i bought a ceramic rooster and my mother-in-law helped me paint it. she has a few more creative genes than me so i was grateful for her help. she actually is commissioned to paint these for people. the rooster looks great in the nook.

finally was toenails. jill and i haven't had our toenails painted for 10 months. i don't even remember the last time i painted my toenails. i was before i was pregnant sometime. it's pretty fun to have color back on them.


today jill is 10 months old. she's been free standing for seconds at a time a few times a day now. she'll be walking before i'm ready. i love seeing her crawl around. i'm not yet ready for her to keeping growing up. i love this stage soooooo much i just want her to stay the way she is.


i'm anxious though to see her next few months. it seems like each month is more and more fun. i love this baby.
