The Wilde Family

Daddy Day!

2012-01-29T12:47:00.001-08:00

Saturday was daddy day at Presley's preschool. Trevor was traveling all week and she was so stressed that he was going to miss this! He would never have missed this with her. She is so devoted to her date that she insisted on wearing her U of A sweatshirt to show her support!!

7 Years of Married Bliss

2012-01-29T12:40:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago Trevor and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary! This year we had the opportunity to leave the kids at home and head to Cabo for 5 days. What an amazing time we had. The weather was perfect, people watching was interesting, we saw tons of whales, had some great, great food and relaxed without phones or internet for almost a week!! Thanks to all who did stay with our kiddos so we could escape!

Trevor I love you so much!!!!

Here is a picture of the man himself!

We did a boat ride around the bay and pennisula. So pretty. I will admit any longer on the boat I would have been puking of the side!!

Some whales

We ate with scenery the entire time we were there!!

The happy couple!!

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-27T07:52:00.000-08:00

We had such a great Christmas this year! It was a busy one but we did manage to fit it all in...thank goodness. After getting home from Greer we celebrate with the Wilde's. All the kids were so good this year, Santa decided he would come early to see them. What a treat. Thanks for having us over Grandma and Grandpa, we love you!!

North Pole Experience!!

2011-12-20T16:00:00.000-08:00

The week of Christmas we took the kids to Greer for the North Pole Experience! So Fun. We rented a cabin and enjoyed the crazy amount of snow! The kids sled for hours (sorry no pictures of this....I was indoors) and we enjoyed the quiteness of no tv's or cell phone reception.

Damian and Roman

All the kids knocking of the door to go into see the elves at the Toy Shoppe at the north pole

Cookies and Hot Chocalate

Singing Christmas songs with the elves

Sitting in a classroom at Elf University....This is where they teach good elf behavior

Ahhh and lastly they were able to meet Santa! Can you find the little girl who didn't want to meet Santa?

We had such a great time and it was a really neat experience for all the kids.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Programs

2011-12-20T15:49:00.000-08:00

Peyton and Presley had holiday festivities at their schools last week. Presley had a formal program and sang very beautiful on stage. Peyton had a half day at school so we let her skip it and come support Presley. It was so fun for her to see all her old teachers and friends.

Presley's biggest fans in the audience

There she is!!

2011-12-12T11:55:00.000-08:00

We met The James Family in Williams to go to the North Pole on the Polar Express! So fun and so cold! The kids had a blast and were passed out in the car on the way home by 8. Love it. This was Braxton's first time on the Polar Express so it was a real treat to be able to expirience it with him.

Thanksgiving 2011

2011-12-01T07:18:00.001-08:00

We had a crazy busy November and even busier December but we are enjoying every minute of it. Coming into Thanksgiving week both girls had feasts at their schools. So fun to see them with their friends at school and in their festive hats!

We had the opportunity to host Thanksgiving this year! So we set up one big table in our dining room and feasted a way. We had about 25 people sitting at one table! Thanks everyone for bringing a dish and loaning me dishware :) Our first Thanksgiving was a success and the turkey was edible!

Our family is thankful for our many blessings and family is our #1. We are surrounded by such wonderful people both friends and family and we are so grateful we are able to be together on these holidays. We are thankful for our health, our home, our 3 healthy girls, our country and so many more! We are so excited to hear the news that my sister is expecting her first baby too!! We can't wait to him/her!

Trevor just received another amazing recognition in the Arizona Republic over the weekend!! For those of you who don't read the newspaper or didn't get a chance to see the article I have listed it below.

35 Arizona entrepreneurs 35 and under - 2011

http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/2011/10/27/20111027young-entrepreneurs-under-35-2011-photos.html?page=35

Trevor: You are so amazing! The girls and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful dad, husband and entrepreneur in our lives. We know you work hard because you love it but also so you can give your family everything we could need or want. You make us so proud and we are so in love with you! It is hard to be a young talented business owner and be successful at it and be the worlds best dad and husband but you do it and make it look so easy. We love you!!

Love, Meghan Peyton Presley and Piper!!

Halloween Weekend

2011-11-03T09:43:00.000-07:00

We started Halloween weekend off with a Fall festival at Peytons school. It was fun for the kids to run around and play games and ride rides. Peyton even performed a cheer with the cheerleaders from the CTS cheerline! She did great and knew all the moves!! Not the best pictures but all I had.

Here are some of the girls getting ready...

Go CTS

Presley at the Carnival supporting her sister!

They had one of those bungee jumping things...both girls wanted to do it. They had fun.

Presley wes a little nervous...she didn't let them take her up off the ground very far :)

Then on Monday, Peyton's kindergarten class came to school in their costumes and paraded around the school.

Piper and Daddy at the school watching

Our little Lady Bug! This is the only picture we got of Piper....she wasn't wanting to participate the rest of the time.

Peyton wanted to be a vampire this year and Presley was a Renaisance Princess

Spooky

Pretty

The ladies

Grandpa wanted to get in on the action too. He came over after we got back from trick or treating and scared the girls.

Aunt Lindsay getting in on the action

Then we finished the week with Presley having a Vetern's Day performance at school. She knew all of the songs and performed like a star!

We had a great Halloween and our Fall is off to a Wonderful start!!

Peyton's 6th Birthday

2011-10-24T10:32:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we celebrated Peyton turning 6! This year we kept it simple and let her pick 6-7 friends she wanted to go see a movie with after school. We started at Cold Stone to sing happy birthday and then walked over to the theaters. We saw a Dolphin Tale which was such a good movie. The kids loved it!

Happy Birthday Peyton. It is hard to believe 6 years have gone by. You have and are still growing in to a beautiful young lady. You have an amazing heart and are so loved by all that meet you. We can not wait to see what your future has in store for you. We love spending time with you and watching you interact with your friends. We love you so much!!!!

Birthday Beauty!

A few girls spent the night! Here they are the next morning with their Starbucks! (hot chocolate of course)

We got to celebrate a final time Sunday with the extended family!

Thank you to everyone who helped us spoil Peyton this weekend!

Pumpkin Patch

2011-10-20T17:27:00.000-07:00

Today Presley's class went to the pumpkin patch so Presley, Piper and Nephew Jackson went. We went early but it was still hot for the kids. I didn't get that great of pictures because I was chasing these kids everywhere but here are a few for us to remember.

Piper visiting the animals

Attempting to get one of the 3 of them...

My favorite cowboy and cowgirl

These silly kids. They are so sweet together and have the best time together not matter they are doing. Presley loves this guy so much

Pumpkin selecting

Piper is 18 Months!

2011-10-18T13:00:00.000-07:00

This adorable girl is 18 months old!! Time is just flying by with her and she is so fun to be around. I wish she could stay a little babe forever! All she wants to do is keep up with her sisters.

Here are her stats:

22 pounds 12 ounces

33 inches long

She is measuring right where Peyton and Presley were at this age!

Love you Cubby!

Presley and Alek

2011-10-18T12:49:00.000-07:00

One of the big topics in our house this season is Alek. Alek is Presley's training horse. She started lessons at the end of August and is still LOVING every minute she gets to ride and spend time with this horse. He is the sweetest horse and so patient with her. I wasn't sure if this would be productive or not for her since she is so small and her feet don't reach the stirrups ( not sure how to spell that ), but holy moly has she learned so much and already riding the horse without someone leading her. Crazy to watch her up there.

Presley is learning how to groom and bathe the horses (they have 3 different types of brushes they have to use and in a certain order), she know how to turn, stop, and communicate with Alek, her posture is super strong and she knows all the terminolgy. As soon as she is tall enough to fit in the saddle correctly they are going to start trotting-yikes:)

She has such a love for these animals. She is so comfortable with them and loves on them like crazy when she is with them. Peyton is way more hesitant and mom is allergic so we tend to just watch as Presley wraps her arms around these horses.

Presley- keep on doing what your doing! You are amazing and it is so fun to see your smiling face when you are riding.

Disneyland Follow Up

2011-10-18T12:31:00.000-07:00

Here are some more photos from our Disney trip! We love Disney around Halloween/Fall time and really enjoyed spending time as a family! The girls are growing up so fast...sniff sniff

Our sweet Girls

Captain Hook was one of the first characters we saw....Piper wasn't a fan so sat out until Minnie came by to chat

Piper loved Minnie

Presley and Daddy riding the Tom Sawyer boat

We celebrated Peyton's 6th Birthday while we were there.

As I had mentioned we attended the Trick or Treat party...we didn't dress up in costumes but we stayed in the spirit with spider hair pieces

Trick or Treat

Headed to the airport! Another family Disney trip in the books!

Disneyland for Fall Break!

2011-10-16T19:50:00.001-07:00

We took the girls to Disneyland for Fall Break! We had such a great time. This time Presley is tall enough to go on the "big kid" rides so she was able to go on Space Mountain! So fun! Even though the kids look terrified they said they loved it!! The trip was so fun and we were able to attend the Mickey Mouse's Trick or Treat Party which we haven't been to yet!

I will try and be better at blogging too! We have been busy and it is hard to keep up with everyone!

Birthday Celebration

2011-09-26T09:18:00.000-07:00

We have been so busy and I am so far behind on blogging that I thought I would throw a few things up...

Uncle Kev had a birthday so we were able to throw him a birthday party. Baseball theme it was! And whats a party without a pinata? So we all got a turn....

Birthday Boy goes first

Then Peyton

Then Pres

And we had some yummy cupcakes that the girls made...

Over Labor Day we stayed at the Scottsdale Princess...

And Trevor and I were able to sneak away to surprise Aunt Singne in California for her 30th Birthday!!

Presley's First Day Of Preschool (4 year olds)

2011-08-22T15:22:00.000-07:00

Presley started her first day of preschool in the 4's program. She was so excited and was ready to go an hour before it was time to leave. She is the cutest little thing ever. This will be a big year for Pres as Peyton is no longer at the school with her. She loves her teachers and knows her way around the campus and is so confident. So now on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays...its just me and the Cub! Seems so quiet around here! Presley we love you and love watching you grow!! We know this year will be amazing for you!

Little Miss Thang

Presley and her best friend (and cousin) Jackson. We feel so blessed they get to go to school together!

Color Me Happy

2011-08-16T08:11:00.000-07:00

The girls have been so into coloring lately. First thing in the morning, right after school and before they go to bed. I have to say I am loving this!! There isn't a big mess, they are doing an activity together ( and getting a long) and I can get a few things done around the house. Piper is the only wild card because I know if I leave her too long I am going to find it on my walls :) However, she is sitting between her two sisters who are all over every move she makes. -ha

1st Day of Kindergarten!!

2011-08-09T13:11:00.000-07:00

It's Official! Peyton started Kindergarten yesterday! Such a great day and she was so excited! She was so cute in her uniforms and walked right in to her class. She has a great teacher and we are so excited for all the fun things she is going to learn this year. She is so grown up and so sophisticated, I can hardly believe it. She came home with positive things to say about her day. I thought the day was long! I kept checking the clock to see when I could pick her up! Only a few tears were shed from mom (and Aunt Lindsay) and she was on her way. We live right down the street so I did drive by the school 3 or 4 times to see if I could see her on the playground! I tend to stress over the little things like the drop off routine ( I am suppose to drop her off at the playground and then when the bell rings she finds her teacher or class), finding someone to sit with at lunch or play with on the playground and of course just making sure she is comfortable in her enviroment. Presley and Piper miss her tons too! Oh so many changes! It is only day 2 and I am exhausted! School does start really early (7:45a.m.) which for us is crazy early!

Thank you for everyone who called, text or emailed to wish Peyton good luck! She is so loved and for that we are so grateful. Thanks GiGi for coming with and supporting Peyton. That was so special for her.

Atlanta!!

2011-07-24T10:08:00.001-07:00

We just got back from spending 2 weeks in Atlanta! This is going to be a long post of pictures...so I will try and narrate our adventures through them. We had a great time and stayed busy!

Here are the ladies, Sue, Singne and Gigi at the pool

It was Singne's dad Steve's birthday while we were there. We went to a wonderful dinner to celebrate

Then we went back to the house to eat ice cream cake with the kids

Our first big outing was to the coke factory to sample 60 different coke products!

Atlanta was a little hot and humid....

We stayed at Mike and Singne's house while we were there...her are some pictures of us hanging out

off to the pool

We even busted out the slippin slide...Uncle Mike taking his turn

The girls were a big help in the kitchen...helping cook breakfast and dinners

One day we went to Margarat Mitchell's house....this is the gal who wrote Gone With the Wind. Very cool tour

Presley and Sue

CNN- This was such a neat tour! The girls weren't as interested but they did well

Presley had her 4th birthday while we were there so we took the girls to the American Girl Place to celebrate

The girls getting their dolls hair done

The birthday girl with her doll

The girls at the bistro

Singne due any minute....

Here is a photo of the Dunnes waiting to meet their little girl

And we were all there to cheer her on...

And then little miss Addison Kay arrived!!!

This picture is out of place...this is her just minutes old...

Pres and Addison

Peyton and Addison

Bringing Addison home..

Yay! for family pictures

We went to an Atlanta Braves game

Mike and Singne live on a lake so we took the girls to the beach one day.

The aquarium was so wonderful and the girls got to see the new dolphin show!!

We of course had time to squeeze in some beauty treatments

We had a wonderful trip!!! Thanks Mike and Singne for having us! We can't wait to come back and visit!!

Tooth Fairies for One Year Olds??

2011-06-28T12:55:00.000-07:00

A little over a week ago Our Little Piper tripped while she was walking and hit her tooth on the bottom of our bed....OUCH! She knocked out her top right tooth, root and all. We rushed her into the dentist but there is nothing they can do. She is going to be toothless until her permanant tooth grows in!! What?!? That is it? No options? I have finally stopped crying about this ( I talked to 5 different pediatric dentist and they all say the same thing). The only option I have is when she is about 3 and has 20 teeth they can put a fake tooth in which they say by then I won't even want to mess with it and I will be used to see her toothless smile...( they don't know me very well) So we are waiting until she is 3 and then we will complete her smile.

The tooth

Her new smile

( you can't really see because of the light but if you look there is a gap)

Happy Father's Day!

2011-06-20T15:07:00.000-07:00

Dear Trevor,

Happy Father's Day. We love you so much. You are the worlds greatest dad and we are all so blessed to be in your family. No one loves you more than your 3 sweet girls. We hope you had a fabulous day and felt spoiled:) MUAH!

Love,

Meghan, Peyton, Presley and Piper

Dance Recital 2011

2011-06-20T14:49:00.000-07:00

Well another year has gone by which means another recital for the girls. Peyton and Presley worked so hard this year and were able to showcase their dances at this years recital. Peyton was in 3 numbers and Presley 2 so mama was super busy racing to get them changed and back on stage. We are so proud of these girls! This is Peytons 3rd time on the stage so she goes out there and rocks it! Presley is our wild card...never know what she is going to want to do. The entire week she didn't want to practice or do anything with the dance and the day of the recital went up on stage and knew every step!! We loved watching our girls! Thanks for all the family and friends who came to watch and support the girls! We love you and appreciate you.

Peyton, Chloe, and Presley

The newest Wilde is here! Seth and Dani had their baby this morning and he is Perfect! I totally think he looks like his daddy! He had no name....yet and was 8pounds 7 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long. We love you so much! Welcome to this world. You are so loved! Congrats!

Aloha!!

2011-06-06T20:17:00.001-07:00

After Austin we had a few days recovery and then we headed back on a plane but this time to Oahu, Hawaii! The kids did great on the 6 hour flight and we were all very excited to be on the ground in Hawaii!

When we landed we were each greeted with a lei! And they were purple which is Presleys favorite color! Perfect!

Aloha!

We headed straight to lunch on the beach!

We met some of our friends from Vegas and some of our friends from AZ. This is Jack and Piper! They were such buddies the entire trip and loved playing together! So stinking cute!

Do you think Piper is excited?

Presley, Peyton and Gabby....such great views

Pipers first time on the beach....she looks a bit nervous but she warms up to it

Nic and D

There was a time difference of 3 hours so every night around 6:00 Hawaii time Piper would hit the sack! This was awesome because we were able to eat dinner without entertaining the whole time.

This is what all our meals out looked like! I love it!

Gabby, Peyton, and Chloe

All the bigger kids: Presley Gabby Tommy Peyton and Chloe

We had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins while we were there. I don't have any great pictures of this because they wouldn't let me bring my camera near the water.... :((

The girls in the safety gear

Here is our group getting ready to meet our dolphin

That was our dolphin we got to swim with between Peyton and Presley

Another family picture

This is the view from where we swam with them! Just Amazing!!!

The kiddos warming up after our swim

Oh Miss Presley....after we swam with the dolphins all the kids were running and guess who fell? Her forehead didn't look too pretty for a few days.

yay! for mohawks!

One of the nights we got a babysitter for all the kids and the adults hit the town! I really don't have a lot of pictures but we had a lot of laughs and had so much fun trying some new restaurants.

The boys- Sorry Trev not the best picture of you...

The ladies....not the best picture either...oops

We also were able to visit the Dole Pinnapple Factory! It was so beautiful and we learned a lot about fruit

Love this picture of the girls

This family picture didn't go as well as some others

Peyton and Chloe

All the kids running free

And what is Hawaii without going to a Luau? The kids danced all night long

They even go pulled up on stage

More dancing

The mommies really wanted the girls to get their picture taken with the male dancers but they chose her....

We really wanted to take the kids snorkling but they said they wanted to but didn't want to go in the ocean...what?!? So we bought the snorkel gear and let them go in the pool instead! There were no fish, but it kept them busy!

The last night we were their we attended the island annual Memorial Lighting of the Lantern Ceremony! Holy Emotional! I had no idea! This was such an unbelievable sight! There were hundreds of lanterns lit to remember those we have lost, and they sail out into the bay. It was so amazing! They sad music and beautiful scenery didn't help, it was truly a sight to see and I am so glad my family was able to be a part of it.

daddy and his girls

The vaughns

We spent our last day at the beach!!! We crammed it all in before we had to say good bye

Austin Texas

2011-06-06T20:08:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we all went to Austin for Trevor's work! Trevor won an award so they flew us all out there! What a neat town. We didn't get to do a ton of things because we were only there for a short time and when you have 3 kids with you, you are a little limited. However, the girls loved swimming at the resort and meeting all the fun kids there. The highlight of our trip was watching thousands of bats come out from underneath one of the bridges there in Austin. It was really neat....but I was telling my mom, I wasn't sure if it was creepier that there are that many bats all under that bridge or that now all those bats were out! eeek! It really was a neat sight and it happened very quickly!

Crazy!

Peyton Graduates From Preschool!

2011-05-19T21:30:00.000-07:00

This week was the last week of school for the girls! What a fun week! Tuesday was water day and believe it or not it was freezing. The weather here cooled down to 70 degrees and windy. But water day must go on. The girls seemed to have a good time....although Presley's teacher told me Presley wanted to know where the hot tub was because she wanted to warm up! She can be so funny!

Presley in the cold pool

brrrrr

Peyton laying out

poor girl, she looks cold

Later in the week, Peyton had her preschool graduation. It was really sweet. They had all the kids come out and stand together as they released balloons into the sky. This symbolizes them sailing onto to bigger things....it is so crazy because we get so excited for them to go to the next phase in life and then when they do all of a sudden it is really sad. Peyton led her class out and accepted her diploma with grace. She was so fortunate to have not only mom and dad there but her aunt Jenn and Uncle Kevin were able to come too! It was really special and the others moms in the class commented on how nice it was for them to come! Thanks for coming you two, we love you!

Hmmm, sort of looks like Peyton is flicking us off here...

Play For Mark

2011-05-09T19:51:00.000-07:00

On May 1st my family and I organized a Memorial Golf Tournament in honor of my dad. It was a huge success and we raised approximately $5000 to give to a scholarship fund for a female athlete at Horizon High School. A HUGE thank you to all our family and friends who contributed, donated, played, shared their stories, and spent their Sunday morning with us. We are overwhelmed with the turnout and everyone's excitement for our cause. We have learned this past year how important relationships are and we treasure each and everyone of you. Thank you again for all the love and support!

Dad! We love you and hope you had a good seat up there as you watched us Play for You.

I only have a few pictures because they weren't taken on my camera so I hope no one gets their feeling hurt if they don't see there photo!!!

Happy Mother's Day

2011-05-08T21:12:00.000-07:00

What a great day! We had such a nice and relaxing day together as a family. We (I) slept in, went to lunch with my sisters and mom, played in the splash pad at Scottsdale Quarter, watched the girls swim and then BBQed at the Wildes! Such a great day! I have the most precious family in the world which makes my job easy!( on most days :):)) Trevor and girls I love you much!!

Here are some pictures of the girls playing!

oooohh water!!

a little splash feels nice

so I might as well get in :)

So her sisters joined her

woo-hoo

silly girls

Sweetness!

2011-05-03T14:36:00.000-07:00

Presley's teacher sent me an email about Presley today. Here is what it said:

Presley always mentions when we have discussions about heaven that her papa is an angel up there! She will sometimes say when he resurrects she would love for everyone to meet him.

Thank goodness for kids and all the wonderful things they bring to our lives. Every time I read this statement I smile. I hope you do too.

Happy Tuesday!

Easter 2011

2011-05-01T21:46:00.000-07:00

I know, I know...I am really behind on blogging but we have been so busy this month and things don't seem to be slowing down. We had a great Easter this year and the girls are at such great ages. It was a busy one but we had a blast. GiGi came over and helped the girls dye easter eggs. The girls are some of the best easter egg dyers ever!

Presley and her purple egg

Whoo-hoo

Can you even believe I got all 3 girls smiling on the first shot?

my sweet baby

This is Peyton at her school Easter egg hunt...her last one as a little preschooler :(

Presley also got to partake this year...

We also enjoyed a lovely brunch again at Grayhawk. As you can see Presley wasn't in the mood to take pictures....anyone surprised?

The entire family

Then we head over to the Wilde's for the big Easter egg hunt! Peyton found the gold egg this year. So fun! Here are all the kiddos on the hunt

Tons of Eggs

Aunt Lindsay helping out the Cub

Presley oops I mean Rapunzel and her stash

Daddy lending a hand

When the hunt moved to the front courtyard Piper lost interest in the eggs and focused on the fountain. This is also why she is naked in the pictures to follow.

Grandma and Grandpa and all the grandbabies

We put Piper in a bucket of plastic eggs and there she played for a good 30 minutes!

Love this face!!

Happy Birthday Piper!!

2011-04-05T14:47:00.000-07:00

Dear Piper,

Happy 1st Birthday! What a year! You have brought us so much joy this year. I can't believe how fast it went. I remember how excited we all were to find out if you were a boy or girl and to finally meet you. I remember my dad (your Papa) coming over to the house before we left to the hospital and saying to me...."You know your having another girl, right?" I said "Yes". (I didn't know officially because we decided to wait until you arrived but deep down we thought you were another little princess) We had a little chuckle and the he said " well do you have a pretty little outfit to bring her home in?" I told him no because I didn't know and didn't want to assume....well your Papa and I went into the garage and started digging through bins of newborn outfits until we found the right one to bring you home in. (Thanks Dad, as you know, it turned out I needed that outfit.) Meanwhile your dad was pacing the kitchen ready to take us to the hopital and get us there on time:)

A few hours later you were here! Our sweet Piper Rose! Your were perfect. Very calm and quiet. You loved to be held and loved your baths. You have made a wonderful addition to our family and we couldn't imagine life without you. We hope you continue to grow strong, healthy and full of confidence. We love you so much! Happy Birthday

Love, Mom

Atlanta: Me, Singne and a little Dingo baby!

2011-03-30T13:56:00.000-07:00

Over this past weekend I had the opportunity to visit Singne in Atlanta! All by myself (thanks babe :)) Mike was out of town so it was just me, Singne and her little unborn baby girl who we now refer to has her dingo baby. I know this doesn't make any sense to anyone as to why we started refering to her baby as a dingo but every time we said it ( with a fun accent of course) we would laugh, so the joke continues....

It was such a relaxing weekend. Singne and Mike have such a beautiful home. There is plenty of space for visitors although I decided to bunk in her room anyways. We definitely had a lot of catching up to do. It has been so hard to have a lengthy conversation with her lately with the the time difference of 3 hours but we now have a set schedule as to when we will call each other so I am soooo excited for that. We stayed up late (really late) chatting, laughing, and remembering some crazy times. So fun. We registered her and the baby, looked at bedding and looked at furniture. We even fit some shopping for us in too. The weather was rainy most of the time but was a wonderful change for me.

I loved every second of my trip and can't wait to bring the entire family back in July!!! I love you Singne and thanks for having me.

Here is Singne in her nursery. Mike is so excited to get painting it....PINK! Here a few purchases we made while we were there.

We didn't take a lot pictures so when we decided we better have a few to document the trip we needed to set up the equipment!

And here we are!!!

Here we are on their porch...pretty view

And here is the picture that Singne will be mad at me for posting!!! But look at how stinkin cute she is.

Disney for a Day

2011-03-06T20:13:00.000-08:00

We had the opportunity to go to Disneyland for the day with my sister and her family. Kevin's son is visiting from North Carolina for two weeks so for the first weekend we all headed to the happiest place on earth! We LOVE Disney so we couldn't pass :) We had such a great time. I took the two older P's while my brother and sister in law took care of the Cub! (thanks so much Seth and Dani). We were only able to spend a day and a half with the James' family while they stayed the entire weekend. We loved getting to know Braxton and the kids played really well together. We spent 13 hours at the park on Friday!!! What fun we had. We also got to see the the World of Color show which was very cool! Thanks for all the fun memories Lindz, Kev and B. We love you all so much!

After 6 hours in the car we were finally to Disney

Ok...are these kids 5 years old or a 16?

We loved the Mad Hatter...him and Alice spent 20 minutes at our table

lets go!!!!

My little Pistol

Mission Complete!

Piper is 11 Months!

2011-03-06T20:02:00.000-08:00

Our sweet Piper is 11 months old. What?!! This seems so crazy to us. She is such a ham is picking up her game lately. She is becoming very independent! One more month until we get to celebrate her 1st birthday! Here are all the things she likes to do:

Sleep through the night!

Spit :(

Clap her hands

Wave

Give kisses

Dance!

Shake her head

Loves to make people laugh

She is such a goofball

She is standing and does take a few steps from place to place

She is a quick crawler

Loves her blanket

Hates going down for her naps (she might miss something)

Loves being around her sisters

Loves her binki

Has the BEST smile EVER!

Happy Wednesday!

2011-02-23T13:48:00.000-08:00

Look at these sweet baby girls! Although, Peyton doesn't look like a baby anymore with a gap between her bottom teeth! I seriously want to eat these girls up! I love you ladies! Happy Wednesday!

Who does Piper look like? Just curious everyones thoughts.

Toothless

2011-02-15T17:47:00.000-08:00

Big News in our house is that Peyton has lost her first tooth! It fell out while eating an apple (actually it was an oreo) at school. It was so exciting!!! I was a little late picking her up so when I did she was sitting with the entire teaching staff of La Casa and everyone was so great in sharing in her excitement. So we did contact the toothfairy and let her know we needed her to visit....which she did. It was the fastest Peyton has ever fallen asleep for us! The next morning was so amazing to see her face when she got her money!!!! I guess we enter the next chapter of of lives...

Dear Peyton: I can not believe you lost your first tooth!!! I remember exactly where I was, what we were wearing and who we were with the day that tooth came in. You were 6 months old, it was April 16 which just happened to be Easter, and we were with all our family and friends and Grayhawk for brunch! I got teary eyed that day thinking time was going by so fast and you were already getting teeth! And now almost 5 years later I am getting teary eyed thinking the exact same thing except you are losing them instead of getting them. You are so amazing! I love you so much and am so excited for all the fun things and awkward pictures that lie ahead :) muah! Love, Mom

Pretty Puppy

2011-02-09T13:20:00.000-08:00

So we were watching football a few weeks ago at my sister and brother in laws when Kevin and I started talking about their dogs. I had commented that I have a hard time telling them apart and that he she make Jeter (the girl dog) a little more girly to make it easier on me. His response "Go For It!" So....I did. I went over to their house last night and performed a doggy makeover.

We started by giving the pup some pink highlights.....we want her to stand out! Then I painted her long toenails a beautiful red and then put some shining black bows in her hair! She looked so cute! I should of done a before and after picture but forgot. She was a good sport (and so were you Kev) and I think she likes being pampered!

Here is Kevin and Jeter mid dye

We had to let the hair dye sit for about 15 minutes

Pretty toes!!

close up

almost done

adding the bows

done!

Here hair actually looked cuter once it had dried.

Thanks for letting me come over and play!

Daddy Day X 2

2011-02-08T13:42:00.001-08:00

This past Saturday was Daddy day at the girls school! This was Presley's first time and she was so excited to spend the morning with her dad. She was counting down the minutes to get to go. This year Trevor got to go twice because both of the girls go there. Trevor said its amazing to see the difference as they get older....this was his third time doing it with Peyton and he said she was really into her friends. But both girls soaked up their time with Daddy and can't wait for next year.

Here are Presley and Trev before they left

Same pose in the classroom

Presley showing off her artwork

Sorry alittle blurry...

The kids get to pretend to shave their dads....

Trevor came home with some bruises on his hands from this project.

Presley and her cousin painting

Then he got to go back alittle later with Peyton...here they are at the house

Love the artwork

Daddy and Peyton

You can never shave too much

We love you Daddy!!

10 Monther

2011-02-08T13:37:00.000-08:00

Another month has flown by....Piper is now 10 months! She is doing so good and is such a happy baby! She still isn't consistant on sleeping through the night...but we are hoping again soon now that she is healthy and she had another tooth poke through. So yes, now she has 5 teeth, she is pulling herself up on everything, can stand by herself (until she realizes she is doing it), babbling a ton, getting alittle bit more hair, and her newest trick is she can clap. We feel so blessed to have this little cub! She brings us so many smiles!

This isn't the best picture as you can see I am behind on my laundry :)

Wednesday Update

2011-02-02T14:51:00.001-08:00

We have been out of the blogging world for a few weeks! The kids have been trading off between colds and injuries! And just has we finally have them all healthy....mama is starting to get a cold. yay!

Peyton: Peyton has been doing good...she had a mild cough which eventually turned into an ear infection. Luckily, we caught super early and after one night of medicine she was good to go. And as of 2 days ago, she has her first loose tooth!!!! She is so very excited and can't wait for that tooth fairy. Mom on the other hand is freaking out that time has gone by so fast and that she is already loosing teeth!!!

Presley: Presley has been my healthiest...so far. She never got the cold her sisters got however, she did touch our fireplace while it was on (ouch!) which got her a dr. visit at the burn center. Luckily, they were 2nd degree burns and just on her little finger tips so she is healing nicely. And other good news is that she hasn't touched the fireplace since!

Piper: The little Cub had a fever for 8 days and on the 8th day finally told she had an ear infection. UGH. So it was a long week for us because she weren't able to leave the house and she wasn't sleeping at night. We took her to the dr. 3 times before finally getting on the meds for the ear infection. She is finally back to her normal happy little self. She is also getting a few more teeth.

So hopefully we can start getting out and about again!

Giddy up Horsey....Whoa!

2011-01-14T19:49:00.001-08:00

Earlier in the week I took the girls to The Bork Farm. These are dear friends of my dad and my family. They have a few horses, chickens, dogs and cattle. Presley has been so into horses learning so much about them, dying to ride them, and asking to take riding lessons. So we took her over to our friends house so she could help take care of the chickens and take a ride on the horses. When we got there she was in heaven!!! It was so cute to watch her and listen to her ask all sorts of questions. She is such a pistol and I love her so much. She had a lot of fun helping feed the baby chickens (which she named Dexter, Jemma and Parker) and was determined to get on the horse, which she did.....until she fell off! Luckily, she just slid off the saddle and got a little dirt in her mouth and didn't get hurt. Other than it scaring her a little she was fine! However, Peyton who saw the whole thing, will not get close to a horse! Presley was scared but gave the horse a hug and actually got back on the horse (without it moving, of course) I thought this might make her not want to ride anymore but she keeps asking every morning since if we can go back and ride that horse! We also found a horse shoe as a trophy for bravest little girl! She slept with it that night!!!

Here is Presley and the horse Cash

getting some hay for the chickens

Presley wanted to do everything...including carry the heavy stuff

Isnt't this the prettiest horse? This is Cutter

The horse giving Presley kisses

Putting the baby chickens to bed

This is after Presley has fallen off the horse and got back on.....big old smile....that a girl!!!

Also look at Presley's cowgirl boots....she insisted!

The DivaCub is 9 Months!!

2011-01-09T13:11:00.000-08:00

I cannot even believe that The Cub is 9 months already! In 3 months she will be a year old!! She is so much fun and brings us so much happiness. She is definitely getting more and more personality and more curious about things and rooms in the house. As you can see in the picture below she is pulling on the blinds. She so far is my goofiest! She always doing something that makes us laugh which in return makes her laugh. She LOVES eating whatever we are eating and isn't too into baby food anymore. Now that she is on the move she also loves being around her sisters, which is good because they love being around her!! She has four teeth still and she looks so cute when she smiles. Her newest trick is pulling herself up on everything she can!

Here is her last weigh in:

17.9 pounds

29.5 inches long

Her sisters at 9 months:

Peyton: Presley:

18.9 pounds 18.10 pounds

29.5 inches 29 inches

So they were all about the same length and Piper weighs a pound less than the older girls.

So tired! It is exhausting being able to move around by myself.

Happy New Year!

2011-01-03T19:01:00.001-08:00

For New Years we headed to Las Vegas to celebrate with our friends the DiLandris. We have been going to Vegas for the last 8 years!! We always have so much fun and always do something different. This year we stayed in on New Years Eve and went out on New Years Day. It was nice to ring in the new year in pajamas:) We went to a UFC fight the next night. Here are some pictures of the kids and a few of the adults....

Brendan and Jamie's dogs had puppies so Presley hung out with them most of the time...so cute!

Gabby and Peyton with the pups

Here are the guys celebrating!!

The kids were so good! They played so well together which made it more relaxing for all the parents

Here are the guys at the UFC fight

And the ladies...

We wish you all a safe and healthy 2011!

Christmas Season 2010

2011-01-03T18:43:00.001-08:00

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did! We had so much going on and loved being with all our family and friends.

We started Christmas week at the Ritz with Santa! This is always a fun treat! We go with our friends and the girls get to enjoy hot chocolate and yummy treats, listen to a story by Mrs. Clause and get to visit with Santa himself.

Here are the ladies with Santa

Grandma and Grandpa Wilde had a Christmas party and Santa made a surprise appearance! He even brought his list.....and checked it twice!!

Luckily, Presley's name was on the list....

So was Trevor's!!

Then we celebrated with the Wogan's

Peyton in her protective gear that Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kevin gave them. It fit perfect as they will need them to ride their new bikes, scooters, and skateboards!!

We got the new dance game to go with the Wii. Here mom and dad busting some moves

Weeeeee

Unfortuately, Trevors grandma passed away a few days before Christmas. So we were headed to Utah to attend her services. The girls got up in the morning to go sledding. It was cold but they loved it!

Daddy getting them ready

Daddy and Presley going down the hill

Christmas Programs

2010-12-16T12:03:00.000-08:00

On Sunday we took the girls to the North Pole on the Polar Express! Oh, what a great time we had. Piper was such a fun addition to this event for us! Everyone did great, the weather was great, and we can't wait to do it again next year.

We take smiles from this one whenever we can.....

Zoo Lights 2011

2010-12-10T08:29:00.001-08:00

Every year we do zoo lights with Trevor's work. This was Piper's first year with all the festivities. She smiled the entire time. It was beautiful weather! We had so much fun.

Here is Piper meeting Santa....

He seems nice...

The kids all rode a camel this year....not my thing, but the kids loved it!!

Next stop...the Polor Express

The Cub is 8 months old

2010-12-10T08:18:00.000-08:00

I can hardly believe that Piper is 8 months old already!!! She is doing so much and time is flying! She is still the happiest baby ever. She has 3 teeth, with one more that is about to pop through (ouch!), she is crawling and pulling herself up on things. She is talking like crazy and we can't until we can understand what she is saying. Her new favorite thing to do is swing! And her two sister love pushing her:) It is so fun to see her personality start to shine!

Look at me!

Swing me! Swing me!

So Tired! I think I will just close my eyes real quick!

Hey, does anyone know how to post video? I have been trying to post 2 videos through blogger and it would do it!! So frustrating....what am I doing wrong?

Team Toys R Us!!

2010-11-29T13:57:00.000-08:00

Every year my mom and I shop early on Friday morning for black Friday...well this year Toys R Us opened at 10pm and after Kevin and I researched the best places for a few select items, we decided we needed to go. So at 8:00 we got in line. We about the 20th people in line. We needed a bunch of one item and since the store would only let us buy a certain amount per person, I needed a team of 6. So my mom, Lindsay, my girlfriend Nicole and her sister, and I waited in line. It was cold!!! Things were good until about 3 minutes until 10:00 and then it got intense. People started cutting in line and rushing in the door. Cops were yelling, people were screaming (inluding 2 members of team Toys R Us) It was crazy!!! But we have a ton of laughs from the whole ordeal. Thanks everyone who waited and helped me. Mission was accomplished. I can't wait until next year!

You cold mom?

Team Members!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

2010-11-29T13:17:00.001-08:00

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Different. But Wonderful. It was a little less hectic for us this year with Trevor's family being in Utah and this being the first Thanksgiving without my dad. Even with as many challenges we have faced this year we feel we still have so many things to be thankful for. Thank you for all of you who went out of your way this year to help and encourage my family. I still recieve texts and cards from a lot of you and I am so thankful for that. Our three little girls are growing big and are healthy. We are fortunate to be able to buy a new house. Everyone in our house is back to sleeping through the night and in their own rooms. We are thankful for Trevor who works so hard so we have a certain lifestyle and mommy can go shopping on Black Friday :) We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving as well.

The centerpiece at Peyton's Thanksgiving table at school (she is the one on the orange feather all the way to the right)

Here is what Presley is thankful for....how cute is that?

Cutest turkey ever!!!

All Saints Day

2010-11-10T09:22:00.000-08:00

Sunday at church was All Saints Day. This is a day to remember all those we have lost this year. Tough Day for everyone in my family. Although several pictures were taken at this event the one below of Peyton touching my dad's picture melts my heart. There are no words. This day resurfaced a lot of feelings of anger, sadness, frustration, hope, memories, and so many more. The emotion I feel on most days is how much I miss my dad. This is the longest I have gone without talking to him and I feel the loss more than ever. I still have a hard time grasping that my dad/dad's name is on a list of people who have passed away this year. I found this poem that says what I am feeling at this moment. I made a few changes but a lady named Marcy Harper wrote it.

Your absence has left me full of endless days.

Like the much dreaded heat and the Eastern Shore haze.

The toying, the strings; on this ride, I remain.

Leaves me feeling at times, that I’m going insane.

It’s the ride from Hell, where I feel I will stay.

But, it was all in the cards and to Jesus, I pray.

That this strength and this grace that so few possess.

Will help carry me through this difficult process.

The love that we have is boundless and strong.

And you are still by my side where you will always belong.

Your wisdom is by far the most one could imagine.

For your keen eye could always see beyond the horizon.

You taught us all how to love and be happy.

It doesn’t take much, live it simple, live it free!

We’re all here for a while, or a lifetime, a season.

And we both know Everything Happens For a Reason.

I feel that in time, this heartache will subside.

Until then, my love, just know of the pride.

That you filled my life with while you were still here.

And that in my heart, I will always hold you dear.

I pray to God and ask him to see me through.

These dreamless nights and endless days, until again, I can be with you.

Sleepover

2010-11-10T09:14:00.001-08:00

Peyton and Presley went to Aunt Lindsay's House for a sleepover for Peyton's birthday a few weeks ago. They had so much fun. They colored and made and decorated their own cakes. Which is always a treat. I think they even got to wear Aunt Lindsay's high heels around the house! Thanks for having them over Lindsay....they want to do it again!!!

Coloring...

Ok...these pictures are backwards...here is the finished product

some icing and sprinkles

Here they are licking the batter....

Patrism Day

2010-11-10T08:54:00.000-08:00

Last week Peyton had Patrism Day! They honored friends and family members that have or still do serve our country. They sung about 5 songs related to the United States and our flag. They were so cute. It was a great day! It was hard to see Peyton in these pictures....all the kids had different hats on...cute but hard to see the kiddos faces.

All the 4 and 5 year olds

PiperCub is 7 Months!

2010-11-05T16:04:00.000-07:00

Oh Our Sweet baby girl is 7 months today! I can't even believe how fast time has gone. Piper is still so wonderful!!! My only complaint is that she still doesn't sleep through the night...I know I need to turn my moniters off and let her cry it out, but I am just not ready to do that. She has 2 teeth and is just now starting to get on all fours and rock (see pic). Not sure I am ready for 3 kids on the move in this house but we are so excited for her to eventually hit this milestone. She is such a little lovey and we can't get enough of her!

Halloween

2010-11-03T21:57:00.000-07:00

Ok, I totally slacked this year with Halloween. We had such an incredibly busy month and being that Halloween is on the last day of the month, we are lucky participated. So needless to say I didn't get any pictures of the girls dressed up. I did get their aunties in some of their accessories and one of Presley without her ears and tail. The kids had a great time and the night was awesome! Thanks Nicole and Damian for having us over!

Aunt Singne and Aunt Lindsay: Singne is Pres's kitty ears and Lindz wearing Peyton's princess veil.

DisneyWorld

2010-11-01T12:13:00.000-07:00

We had the opportunity through Trevor's work to take the girls to Florida....so we of course went to DisneyWorld. We had a wonderful time and were lucky enough to take GiGi with us. Thanks for coming mom, I couldn't have done it without you! You were a HUGE help. We started the trip with a Pirates and Pals event. We all got pirate bandanas, hung with the Captain Hook, Smee and Peter Pan and watched the Fireworks over Cinderellas Castle while on boat ride in the lagoon. This was my favorite thing we did and we all had so much fun pretending to be pirates...

Yay for family pictures

Captain Hook and Smee

My favorite pirates

The 3 girls and Minnie....Piper was more into the floor...

Muah!

Presley is such a pistol and I love every inch of her....this is her new smile too. No matter how hard we try and work on her showing her teeth, the result is this smile :)

We were able to meet a lot of new characters (besides the princesses and the Mickey Mouses etc.) Here were some of them:

Pinnochio

Daisy Duck

We took a break to let the girls dance to Billy Ocean...

Belle and the Beast

Riding the magic carpet ride

GiGi and Piper

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEYTON!!

2010-10-22T23:25:00.000-07:00

Today is Peyton's birthday! It is so hard to believe that she is 5! We are headed to Disney World on Sunday so today was low key. We and some of our besties went to the Pumpkin Patch and then had some lunch. Peyton had a great day!

Peyton you are so amazing! You bring so much happiness to our lives and we love every minute that we get to spend with you. You have the biggest heart and constantly take care of your sisters, friends, and all those around you. You are so smart, fun, a drama queen, athletic, determined, polite, thoughtful, funny, motivated, a hard worker and such a lover. I learn so much from you everyday and you make me want to be a better person. Thank you for these 5 wonderful years and I am excited to see the adventures ahead for you. We love you!!!! Happy Birthday Ladybug :)

Piper was so excited after all the excitement she crashed on the floor when we got home

Piper 6 months

2010-10-18T21:45:00.000-07:00

Piper is 6 months!!!

I can hardly believe it. Time is just going by so fast! At her 6 month appointment her stats were:

Weight: 16 pounds 1 ounce

Length: 28 inches

Head: 43 cm

She is a growing girl!

She loves to EAT and loves to LAUGH. I tried downloading her laughing but it wouldn't let me so I will try and figure that out. It is the best sound ever. She is such a Joy to be around and I can't get enough of her.

October Happenings

2010-10-18T21:19:00.000-07:00

October has been such a busy month for us! We have celebrated birthdays, been baptized, bridal showers, milestones, petting zoos and still tons more to come with a little over a week left! Still to come this month are a trip to Disney World, family pictures, Peyton turns 5!!, a bachelor party, a bachelorette party and Halloween! We have been enjoying the festivities and look forward to slowing down alittle:) I am trying to catch up on photos....the ones from the baptism are in the video which was in the previous post.

To celebrate the girls birthdays, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa took the girls to the railroad park. We celebrated Presley's 3rd, Peyton's 5th and Piper's 6 month!

Choo- Choo

This picture is so funny. This was Piper's face as we went through the dark tunnel!

Picnic at the Park

Each girl had their own cupcake....even the littlest miss

My sister Lindsay had her bridal shower. It was such a great day and her and Kevin got some great gifts. I hope to have more pictures to post soon. These were her cupcakes with her wedding date on them : 11/20/10

To help benefit the breast cancer foundation we took the girls to Pinkalicious! The girls had so much fun and didn't want to leave! I highly reccomend this if you like the book

This was Presley's first year to attend the petting zoo at her school. She was so stinkin cute. She jumped right in and got nice and dirty with those animals. This was way different than when Peyton would go in. Peyton didn't like to get dirty...

Hellooooo animals

MUAH!

This picture is blurry, but you get the point. The girls had their friends Sophia and Liv over for a sleepover, so we decorated Halloween cookies

Baptism 10-10-10

2010-10-13T11:03:00.000-07:00

The girls were baptized on Sunday and my girlfriend Heather took pictures of the day. She is amazing!!!!! Thanks for putting this together....it made me cry. I love every second of this video. In the middle of the video you will see the girls with their Godparents....Peyton's are Lindsay and Kevin, Presley's are Singne Dunne and Brendan DiLandri, and Pipers are Jenn Wogan and Seth Wilde. It was an amazing day!!! Thank you everyone for all the support and love you give my family!

Out Of Order

2010-10-04T22:33:00.000-07:00

Well, my camera is broken again. This time I have no idea what happen to it. I have the pictures but now it won't download to my computer. So frustrating. I will work on fixing this problem this week but for now my brain is fried! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We did and will try and catch you up on photos soon.

Today....

2010-09-30T09:49:00.000-07:00

Is emotionally harder than yesterday

I realized loss is way more physical than I thought it would be

Peyton and Presley hugged before they went into their classrooms which made me smile

Piper spit up on me while I was talking to a group of moms at school

I feel stressed about where my kids will go to school for elementary school

We learned we are most likely going to get the house we wanted

I feel blessed that not only do I have a husband but truly a partner

I cried 3 times before 9 a.m.

I want to be strong for my sisters and my mom

I realized that last statement might be harder than I thought

I am trying not to spend any money

I am all caught up on upcoming events and activities and am going to sit on my couch for 30 min.

I am going to workout

I am probably going to cry a few more times

I am going to do something nice for someone because that usually makes me feel better

I am meeting a friend for a drink

The girls and I are going to get mani and pedi's

I am feeling the loss of my dad

I am frustrated that loss of my dad is out of my control

My girlfriend called just when I needed to talk to someone

I am missing my best friend who will be moving to Atlanta in a few weeks

I am overwelmed by different emotions

I am angry that my dad left me and I have to answer the tilted head "how are you doing?" question everywhere I go

I felt better about everything after I showered

Tomorrow..... is a new day

Open House

2010-09-23T21:13:00.001-07:00

The girls had open house on Wednesday night at their preschool. We had so such a great time looking at their classrooms and seeing everything they have been working on. My kids are so amazing!!! I loved every minute. I got to meet their friends, have ice cream and even do a cake walk!

Their cousin Jackson also goes to school there so he showed us around and hung with the girls.

Mommy and the kiddos in Presley's classroom

Yay! and Grandma came to see all their hardwork too!

Peyton and her teacher Mrs. Brown

I LOVE this picture! How stinkin cute are they? My little preschoolers!
