Presley Turns 2!

Our Sweet Baby Girl is 2 Today! Time has gone by so fast and she is growing up before our eyes. She is so amazing and she has forever changed our lives. We love her so much! She brings so much joy and happiness to everyone she meets. She is feisty, confident, independent, sassy, a snuggler, a lover, a hitter (just the last few days), an eater, queen pouter, and one of the most beautiful little girls we have ever seen. We thank God for her and her sister Peyton every day and feel incredibly blessed to call her ours.

Happy Birthday Presley!

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate. She is spoiled by all those we love her and take care of her. We have such amazing family and friends and are so lucky to know all of you!

Disneyland

Last week my girlfriend Trish and I took our girls to Disneyland for the week. We had an amazing time and were absolutely exhausted by the end of each day. The girls were in heaven. Here a just a few pictures from our week with Mickey.

Peyton went on this ride all by herself! I was waiting nervously at the bottom with Presley.

Chicago

At the beginning of the month we took the girls to Chicago to visit some friends and family. We had a great week and the girls got to go to a 4th of July parade, which was neat for them to see. We stayed busy doing museums, shopping, eating and celebrating. We also enjoyed the nice cool weather.

The children's museum in Chicago was so fun. The kids played for several hours and then crashed in the car. Presley the Vet

Peyton's First Recital

Last weekend Peyton had her first dance recital. She was in two dance numbers and just did FABULOUS. I think I was more nervous than she was :) She loved getting all dressed up in her costumes and was the leader on the dance floor! We were and are so proud of her! It was such a great morning for us and she had the biggest fan club in the audience cheering her on.

Peyton you are so talented and we love you so much!

Her first dance was "Hip Hop Teddy Bear"

Waiting patiently

Her second dance was "Fairy Ballerina"

Almost time..

We are so lucky to live near so many family members. Peyton had a huge crowd come and support her, making her first experience on the stage unforgettable and so special. Here are just a few of the people in her fan club. Thank you everyone for spending your morning with us.

Here is just a little glimpse of the little lady in action. I couldn't get that much but this is better than nothing. Peyton is on the far right.

WildLife Zoo

The girls and I joined some friends last week at the wildlife zoo and aquarium. We lucked out with the weather and no one was there. We had such a good time! And the animals were AMAZING.

The giraffe. We got to feed this mama giraffe. She was such a beautiful animal and we loved her eyes and eyelashes. The girls didn't care for that long tongue.

Our wonderful friends

We rode on one of the sky things...

Mama Vs. Mama

Our first night in San Diego we stayed at the Hilton Mission Bay. Wonderful hotel and we had the best room with a huge grass area for the kids to run and play on. Also on this grass was a mama duck and her babies. For those of you who know Presley you also know she LOVES animals. So when the mama and her ducklings came across the lawn, Presley went and sat with them. Well needless to say, mama duck did NOT like that at all. So next thing I know, mama duck is on Presley's head and pecking at her chest and back! Oh no she didn't!! So mama Wilde had to go and karate kick the angry mama off Presley's head. I was so worried about saving Presley I didn't even realize I had mad her even more mad. Luckily, my sister in law Dani was right behind me hitting mama duck with my shoe. Mama duck eventually backed down. Presley was fine and did have some wounds but after talking to 4 different doctors, who all said the same thing, we didn't need to worry about diseases or anything. With all the screaming and crying going on I didn't get a picture of Presley's wounds. I am not sure if Presley learned her lesson...we asked her an hour later if she still wanted to go sit with the ducks and her reply was....YES.

Mama Duck...she looks nice, but she is a B%$#@!

Mama Wilde, she looks nice too, but don't mess with my babies :)

San Diego 2009

Last week we spent the entire week in San Diego! It was so nice to be back in 68 degree weather. Trevor's parents rented a beach house on Mission Beach for the entire family. We started by going to the San Diego Zoo, did a lot of beaching, and finished up at Sea World! We had a great week. I am pretty sure I could move there and be very happy.
