New Pictures of Peyton

Dave's brother, McKay, has turned into an amazing photographer. He just started taking pictures one day and found out he was really good at it. He now does babies, weddings, senior pictures, missionary pictures, and is starting to get into videography. Seriously, if any of you need a good photographer at a good price, I can give you his number. He is so fun to try new things too. I love this kid.

Anyway, he got a new camera and wanted to try it out, so we had 15 minutes to get Peyton ready and up the mountain a little ways. It was right at sunset, so we only got 10 good minutes, but they turned out so great! I have been wanting to get into photography too, so for Christmas I got a photo-editing program. So I edited these (they would probably be better if McKay had, but oh well, I still love them.) I hadn't planned on getting in the pictures at first, but I wanted to do some mommy 'n me pictures before our new addition arrived, so we did get a few.

2 Pink Piggy-Tailed Princesses!

Yes, my new blog is all pink for a reason. Dave is being overrun with girls. :) We found out we were expecting around Thanksgiving time. 3 weeks ago now, we found out that our new little addition will be a girl. We initially tried to find out what it would be on Valentine's Day and had little poems made up to announce it to everyone via text. If it was a boy it was going to say:

Roses are red,

Till now we never knew,

That our baby to be,

Would be a baby in BLUE!

If it was a girl, we were going to send everyone this message:

Roses are red,

I bet you never did think,

That our baby to be,

Would be another in PINK!

...Unfortunately on Valentines, our modest little mouse wouldn't reveal to us her gender. :( So at my 20 week ultrasound we found out it was indeed another little princess. I sort of always wanted to have 2 girls together, so I was way excited. Peyton had said all along that she wanted a little sister and I figured that she was probably the closest to the veil than any of us. She is way excited. With my growing belly she has started to understand where the baby is. When we told her she was for sure getting a little sister, her first response was, "Go get her!" Haha, we told her we would at the end of July. :)

I don't know how Dave is going to handle another girl. Right now Peyton comes into our bed every morning around 6 am and sleeps on one arm of Dave's. I sleep on the other. Where is another little girl going to go?! Peyton is such a daddy's girl. It is adorable. I admit that I sometimes to get jealous with all the attention he gets, but I am home with her alone all day, so I guess that's okay.

We are toying with about 5 names right now and I will post an update when we decide. I am so excited to get out all of Peyton's cute baby clothes again. Peyton and the baby girl will eventually share a room, so it's sort of nice that it is a girl. I'll try to post some pictures of the cute ultrasound pictures we got later.

WARNING: Picture overload!

Wow, I can't believe I haven't blogged for SEVEN months! Time flies when you are busy. I am not the type of blogger who feels like I need to "catch up," otherwise I would hate blogging. So I will just post some pictures to show you a little bit of what has happened in the past months. I never remember to upload these in reverse order of how I want them, but if you start at the bottom you can kind of follow it chronologically.

I am hoping to keep my blog up a little better once I graduate with my Master's degree in the beginning of May. With school, work, motherhood, and keeping the house up, I never have time for blogging! So hopefully the relief of school will allow me to keep things up. So many fun things have happened, but here is just a quick peak of what has happened in the Bailey family during the past 7 months.

We caught Peyton giving herself a shower with mom's fridge. She was like "It's cold mom!" Really Peyt?... Jaxton thought it was pretty funny though. I'm so glad he hasn't fully caught on to the mischief Peyton tries to teach him yet.

My dad's dog had NINE puppies! It has been so fun to watch them grow. Lana and I had wanted to take a picture of the kids with all the puppies, but we sort of waited too long and by the time we took the pictures, the puppies were almost too big. They kept jumping out of the pool and malling the kids! Jaxton was not too amused. I LOVE this picture though. :) Jaxton's screaming, and Peyton's like, "uh..." Seriously, priceless.

At my cousin, Andrea's, baby shower. On my mom's side of the family we have 5 pregnant cousins. We are due March, April, May, June, and July--2 boys and 3 girls.

Our Mason family finally took a new family picture. Our old one was from before my mission. Since then we have added 6 new family members! It was time for an update. With everyone having babies, it won't stay updated for long, but I was glad to get a new one taken. (Thanks Lana for letting me still this off your blog!)

Peyton didn't really understand the whole baby thing at first, but from day one, she said she wanted a baby sister. :)

Our family picture for our Christmas card. We announced that we were expecting another little one with our Christmas cards. We said, "Camera $400, Clothes $150, knowing there are 4 hearts beating in this picture instead of just 4... Priceless!" I was about 6 weeks pregnant here is all.

Peyton doing daddy's hair. Good thing he is so patient. :) Daddy better get used to all this girly stuff...

The finished product! It was so much prettier in real life.

She is such a nerd. :) She loves this big eskimo coat though!

We bought a 9-foot Christmas tree from a family who cuts them down in Cedar. We LOVED it! Dave spent hours/days putting on over 1400 lights on the dang thing. I was so sad when we moved 10 days later. We had no idea at the time that we would be moving. Seeing it torn down in my garage was heartbreaking.

Playing with my girl :)

Jaxton's 1st birthday! This is me and all my sisters, except Lindsey who lives in Kentucky. We miss her at get-togethers like this. Jax had such a fun birthday. Lana is such a good party-planner. :)

We started potty-training early. It was good... until we moved to Farmington and it was like starting all over again. I came in one day to find Peyton in 8 pairs of panties one day! She is such a weirdo sometimes. :)

Daddy and Peyton at the door.

These little BFFs are so cute together. We miss the Westwoods so much.

Peyton's friends, Bella and Karter. (Princess and the Frog) Too cute huh?

I am so unoriginal. I wore the same costume as last year. Oh well, we had fun.

We had to wake Peyton up to go trick-or-treating. At first she wasn't so sure, but once she realized that she got candy for just saying "Trick-or-Treat," she got really into it! I love Halloween all over again. It's so fun having little ones to enjoy these traditions with.

Dave still loves fly-fishing and spent last summer/fall working as a guide for a fly-shop. It was the perfect excuse for him to do all the fishing he wanted! He's so cute huh?

The diva side ;)

Just blew out the candles!

Peyton got a wagon for her birthday. We were changing after church and we came out to see her all snuggled up in it with her blankets. She loved watching movies in it. She would put her chocolate milk (yes still an addict) in the drink holders and kick back with a movie. What a gal!

Peyton's second cake. (It looked cuter than it tasted.)

Me and my birthday princess. :)

Opening some gifts before church. This girl is all around spoiled.

The Birthday Tutu! Happy Birthday Peyton! #2!

Grammy B. and Peyton. Peyton is so into Princess and the Frog. So Grammy B, made her a Princess Tiana blanket... can you tell that she loved it?!

Peyton and Anna trying to go down at the same time :)

Peyton and I tickling each other's noses with my hair. :) I love this girl so much.

Weeeeee!!!!

Peyton and dad at Tyson's soccer game.

Peyton's only girl cousin, Anna. These two little girls are SO funny together. They just love each other. :)

I ended up making Peyton 2 cakes. One in Farmington with the Bailey's and one in Cedar with our friends/neighbors. Here is her Farmington cake. She is really into purple right now in case you are wondering.

My sister-in-law, Lauren, has her birthday the day after mine, I made her a Barbie cake for her 16th birthday. She had always wanted one. :)

My 26th Birthday.
