Ya, that's right I updated my blog!

The end of 2008 flew by! November was busy, we spent our Thanksgiving in St. George with Daren's family, we had a great time, and I even hit some black Friday sales (i will never do that again!) Then we headed to Kanab to see the Wade, Janette, and the kids. We went on a dam tour! Toured a million dollar house, and went touring through Zion's National Park, and the kids tore up the neighbors land by digging a giant hole.(heehee) We had so much fun! Wade has Daren talked into buying a vacation home in Kanab! December was even more crazy, the kids performed in their TaVaci Christmas Concert, it was awesome! The Peatross Christmas Party was a blast! The kids gave an amazing program, with a skit, singing, piano solo's, poem's and ect... The kid's had a great experience that day, shopping for Primary Childrens Hospital. They picked out all kinds of Toys, and clothes that are badly needed by the kids in the Hospital. Our kids were glowing with excitement, and they said they want to do that every year! Christmas Day was great! Santa left a Diner for Nate, Baby Alive for Kortlyn, and Mountain Bikes for Mitch and Ashley. That weekend was Wade's Surprise 40th Birthday Party! He didn't have a clue, all of us were waiting with our Pictures of Wade's head in front of our faces! And now January is flying by. Today is Ashley's Birthday, And yes my little girl is 12!!! I can't believe it. I feel so old.

Wade's Surprise B-day Party

Ashley had a SPA Birthday Party! Her and her friends made facials, gave each other pedicures, and enjoyed lemon water, finger sandwiches, cream puffs, and grapes. They had so much fun!
Homemade Facials!

Kortie found the spa party very relaxing

Ashley Marie on her 12th Birthday

Ashley Turned 12 Today. I am amazed at what a wonderful Young Women she has become. I am so proud of her. She is so grown up and mature, she is an amazing sister, and is as good as Mom when I am not there! (And the most sought after Babysitter in the neighborhood!) I appreciate all she does. She is my best help, and I enjoy being around her, she loves to play card games, board games, Wii games, anything that she can kick your butt at! Ashley loves to travel, and is up to going anywhere. She is a great student, her biggest goal and greatest desire is to get straight A's so she can get the promised CELL PHONE! Ash is so excited about going to Young Women's. I can't believe she is old enough. It was just yesterday that I brought my first baby home from the hospital, and dressed her up everyday. That little white haired chubby baby has grown into a beautiful young lady. Happy Birthday Ash! We love you so much!!
