Happy 10 year anniversary!!!

Ryan and I have been married for 10 wonderful years today. I can't believe it has been that long all ready. I feel like we were sealed in the temple yesterday. I just want to tell Ryan how much I love him and how greatful I am for him. He is the best husband and father that I could ask for. He does so much for our family. He is my best friend. I couldn't have asked for a better man. I love you Ryan. Thanks for the best 10 years of my life and many more to come.

Here are so pictures of what we did on our wonderful anniversary.


Ryan surprised me and took me to the Heines Mansion. We stayed there on our first honeymoon night and again 10 years later. We love it there!!! Here Ryan is opening the door to the Penthouse Suite!!!

I have wanted a silver band to wear to work, since I can't wear my gold one any more since I am allergic to gold. Ryan surprised me with a new band. I love you Ryan!!! Happy 10 year anniversary.

Our cute little dude!!!

Peyton was playing with his new ball that Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Grant gave him for christmas and next thing we knew he feel asleep holding on to his ball.
He is such a sweetheart. We love him so much. He has brought our little family so much joy.

Yummy rice cereal!!!

On Dec 27th, we tried to give Peyton his first food, yummy rice cereal. He is such a huge boy and has an 8 ounce bottle about every three hours. Formula is killing us with how expensive it is. So hopefully he likes it.
Cute little rice cereal face!!!
He keeps doing a tongue thrust and spitting it out. We will have to keep trying.

Happy 35th Birthday Ryan!!!

On Dec. 26th, Ryan turned 35!!! Happy birthday!!! He just wanted a relaxing birthday, so we stayed home and played with the kids and all of our new stuff.
My parents got Ryan Madden 10 and NBA 2k10. He loved playing those. Thank goodness Tyler came over and played with him.
I got Ryan the Star Trek DVD and...

...and his big surprise was his New York Yankees Jacket that he wanted. He was so excited to get this. He had no idea I was getting this for him. Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

Christmas at Grandma Dixie's and Grandpa Jerry's

Mitchell gave Peyton a bobble head for Christmas. Peyton's head is just like a bobble head right now. It fits him perfectly.
Grandpa and Grandpa gave Christian a remote control Red car. He loves playing with it.
Corinne gave Cheyenne a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfts figurine set for Christmas. She loves playing with figurines.
Rhett gave Sammie a huge Princess art set. She loves it.
Dixie and Jerry gave me another piece to my Willow Tree Nativity. I love it!!!
Todd gave Ryan a Jazz t-shirt. Ryan doesn't have anything Jazz so he really loved it.
Dixie showing us what we gave her. She loves her block picture of Peyton.
Jerry holding up his jacket we gave him. We just want to thank all of the Grandma's and Grandpa's, Aunts and Uncles and Cousins for a wonderful Christmas and the great gifts you gave us. We love you all and hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

Christmas at Grandma Nancy's and Grandpa Grant's

Peyton loved his new rattle ball that Grandma and Grandpa gave him. He was very easy to buy for this year.
Christian told Grandma and Santa that he wanted a walking dinosaur. He has never played with a dinosaur before. I had no clue that he wanted this. Thank goodness, Grandma found his a walking dinosaur.
Everytime Cheyenne is at Grandma and Grandpa's, she goes up stairs and plays with Grandma's doll house. She was so excited to have one for herself. Now she won't have to go to Grandma's and Grandpa's or to her friend Ashlyn's house to play with a doll house. She was very excited.
Sammie had been begging me for some boots for quite a while. I had to keep ignoring her about it because I knew Grandma and Grandpa were getting her some. She was very excited.
My Mom and Dad gave Jill and I a Cricut machine bag. We were very excited to have one.
Ryan got a few gift cards this Christmas from my parents. He had a lot of fun spending them.
Grandpa got a dew rag for when he goes on his bike. He looks studly in it.

Christmas Morning

I love looking at the Christmas laid out before it is all messed up from everyone. It is so peaceful to me for some reason. I just love it. It just gets me excited for the fun day with my family.
Sammie, Cheyenne, and Christian looking to see what Santa brought them in their stockings!!!
Peyton with his Jazz warm up suit.
Any time Christian opened a present he had the funniest expressions. He cracks me up.
This was the one gift that Cheyenne asked Santa to bring her. She was so excited to get her Three Musketters Barbie.
Sammie with her rollerblades so she can go rollerblading with her friends.
Cute little Peyton was so oblivious to everything. He was just excited to have something in his hands to play with.
Wow look at that face. He acts like he just won a million dollars. Kids like him make Christmas so fun!!!
Cheyenne and Samantha got new comforters for their beds!!! Yeah!!! They really needed them.
I was very excited to open a subscription to People magazine. Ryan surprised me with this. I loved it.
I got Ryan a Jeter Jersey that he wanted. He looks so good in it.
Sammie, Christian, and Cheyenne just opened the gift from Santa to the family. We will have fun playing this together.

Christmas Nativity & Games

Every year the kids get to act out the Christmas Nativity. They love getting to see what part they get to play. Sammie was Joseph and Sara was Mary.
Sara, Nicole (the angel), Ben (a lamb), Tyler (a donkey), and Cheyenne (a shepherd).
Christian was suppose to be a lamb but he was an ornery lamb and wouldn't sit by the other stable animals.
Benny made a cute little lamb. He was so cute in his costume.
Cheyenne was a cute shepherd.
After the Nativity, we played some games. Ben, Jill and Christian wait for the games to begin.
Cheyenne was helping me do actions for Guestures.
Next Grandpa Grant started tickling Cheyenne and Nicole. He loves teasing these two girls.
I think they love it just as much.
Then it turned into a big tickling fest. Cheyenne, Nicole, Sammie, and Sara gained up on Ryan to take him down and tickle and wrestle him. We had a lot of fun Christmas Eve. Bed time kids so Santa can come!!!!

Christmas Eve

So I was getting the christmas pj's wrapped and Ryan came out and said he had christmas pj's for me. I was like What!!! I didn't know he got me any pj's. I was nervous to what he would get me. He said I would love them. Guess what, I do!!! I love my Mario pants. Thanks honey!!!
Sammie has finally figured out that we always get christmas pj's on Christmas Eve. She lookes so cute in her new pj's.
Christian was having a rough night. He had had enough fun for one day!!! He was so cute though in his new pj's.
It was quite funny when Christian and Ben opened the same pj's that Jill and I had bought the boys. We had no idea that we had got the same ones for them. How cute are our sporty boys.
Peyton in his first christmas pj's. What a cute little elf!!!
These pj's totally fit Cheyenne. She is just the sweetest girl.
Our cute little cozy kids ready for Santa to come.
Amy, Peyton, Samantha, Cheyenne, Christian and Ryan in our new pj's.
The warm cozy cousins!!! Christian, Peyton, Sammie, Nicole, Cheyenne, Ben, Sara, Tyce, Tyler, and Sky. We missed the other 3 cousins, Andrew, Brigham, and Brayden, tonight. They went to their other grandma and grandpa's. I am glad we will see them tomorrow.
