<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The back story around this song is that she went to a Daddy/Daughter dance with my husband about a month ago at her dance studio. She danced with her dance teacher (who she loves) to this song and we've basically been listening to it ever since. Enjoy!!</div>

They always seem more hectic when you've been flying mostly solo because your husband has had crazy shifts at work! I think we saw him 1 night last week for the entire night.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My cousin and his wife were visiting from Colorado, so we met up with my family for dinner when I got off work Friday evening. Of course Edwin had to work late yet again, so it was just Peyton and I. It was so great to see them both! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I got home and put her to bed, I spent the rest of the evening working on Jamberry stuff. I'm seriously having so much fun with it already! I did my first manicure Friday and immediately got questions about my nails when we were at dinner. In fact, I've been asked about my nails ALL weekend! Here's a pic of my 1st manicure attempt...</div>

We celebrated my Nana's birthday that evening and had a great time eating and listening to stories about when she was young. I could sit for hours listening to her! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then today we had church then went out to lunch with a couple from our church afterward. After nap time Peyton and I ran errands, did crafts and she crashed hard. </div>

We're all exhausted and I can't believe tomorrow is already Monday! But for now I'm going to relax and enjoy The Walking Dead!!!!! </div>

Let me start off by saying that NO, I'm not pregnant! Most of you know that I'm both a Mommy and I work full time. I'm truly blessed to have a good job with great benefits, but even with 2 full time incomes things come up. We've had a few of those large, unexpected expenses pop up recently and they were no fun! I'm not a fan of credit cards and really want to work on growing our "nest egg" for savings, unexpected emergencies, vacations, etc...<br />
<br />
That being said, I've decided to take on a new side venture with a company I just recently learned about. As of today....<br />

I actually found out about this company from a sweet blogging buddy, Ashlynn (check out her <a href="http://cushybabyfamily.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>). She just recently became a consultant and had her first party on Facebook. I was immediately hooked when I looked at the website and saw how incredible this product is. Those that know me know my toenails are ALWAYS painted and I love keeping my fingernails painted. But let's face it, nail polish chips by day 2...3 if you're lucky. I get so tired of always repainting my fingernails. With Jamberry's I don't have to, and they're so much more fun than bland polish! </div>

<br />
You're probably asking "what in the world is Jamberry"? They're non-toxic nail wraps that bond and seal to your nails with nothing but heat from your hairdryer! They last up to 2 weeks on fingernails and 4-6 weeks on toenails. <br />
<br />
They seriously have a pattern for any outfit you could imagine. If you're not in to funky patterns, that's fine too. There are tons of solid colors, french tips, etc... With spring and summer coming, these things are a dream come true for me!<br />

Another thing I love is that they have Jamberry's for kids! My almost 4 year old is already requesting different patterns and I love the thought of not having to paint her nails every few days!<br />

A lot actually, but I'm not going to do a huge post and recap all of our holiday festivities or our 2nd Annual WBTB Officer's Gala (which was amazing by the way). I'm going to keep it current instead.<br />
<br />
Last Friday Peyton's dance studio held their Father Daughter Dance and my sweet husband took her. Y'all it was the cutest thing ever. I seriously teared up when the left, like she was headed to the prom or something. He said she had a blast! She spent the first 20-30 mins dancing with a friend before it got too crowded, then danced with her Daddy after it got super crowded. Her dance teacher danced with her to Katy Perry's song "Roar" and we had to listen to that song ALL weekend on repeat...I'm not even exaggerating.<br />

We explored Blowing Rock after our hike and did some shopping, then went back to clean up and go to dinner. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVsseg9M-rL0OLv1KZBXQ4MRwOAY7SfLaUBPhe6Dkl5izYcrOEoAdJTP_HzG4nrJW4nikM7kBfooyJz1xZLBL6sQStNtqQebDfJ46_7glTcAkgYXZNsd09CwLzY-0njXS0TmeJ7jBvGTdU/s640/blogger-image-1189530291.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVsseg9M-rL0OLv1KZBXQ4MRwOAY7SfLaUBPhe6Dkl5izYcrOEoAdJTP_HzG4nrJW4nikM7kBfooyJz1xZLBL6sQStNtqQebDfJ46_7glTcAkgYXZNsd09CwLzY-0njXS0TmeJ7jBvGTdU/s640/blogger-image-1189530291.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNwhiC044sps_rwnen_D_Del8kZbc2A51SHMBDoSUnt8BPAmAaMNfesfJGskt7yLcDnAKrCVr-fYM9_lEJ6fEbOTV178COwrVfAlc_4XpHdsLIY-d7aA-DiNQq0idjRvm_0vsV7S6vQ75/s640/blogger-image--834227816.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNwhiC044sps_rwnen_D_Del8kZbc2A51SHMBDoSUnt8BPAmAaMNfesfJGskt7yLcDnAKrCVr-fYM9_lEJ6fEbOTV178COwrVfAlc_4XpHdsLIY-d7aA-DiNQq0idjRvm_0vsV7S6vQ75/s640/blogger-image--834227816.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxKwaAo7_GLvVFqLbzBvmUjGpU_nFTtS53s_TH05XQYFmFFXKWzVTcRHZn_Zw8Mxu2f5nWTcy-uRSFi42OzN-GcPaLI1t9XZg2YhlCD_vQGxUFDfFxk4A-xBKizEsq02enwOUAtLdpAZ-/s640/blogger-image-587698885.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxKwaAo7_GLvVFqLbzBvmUjGpU_nFTtS53s_TH05XQYFmFFXKWzVTcRHZn_Zw8Mxu2f5nWTcy-uRSFi42OzN-GcPaLI1t9XZg2YhlCD_vQGxUFDfFxk4A-xBKizEsq02enwOUAtLdpAZ-/s640/blogger-image-587698885.jpg"></a></div></div><div><br></div><div>It was great to spend time and fellowship with this wonderful group of people...I can't wait to do it again next year.

Lets just pause for a moment so everyone can gasp, fall out of their chairs, or whatever else you need to do while you process this. I've never liked coffee, even the smell makes me gag. Everyone told me I'd love it by the time I was "an adult" but here I am (I'm pretty sure 30 counts as an adult) and I still can't stand it. <div><br></div><div>While I don't like coffee, I do love hot tea.

Our friends, the Bassett's, started coming for a few days last year and were able to make it for 3 days this year. We were so in love with this house, we booked it for 2014 before we left!

The past 3 years of my life have truly been the most amazing, exhausting, fun, trying, frustrating and wonderful years I've ever experienced. Peyton has taught me so much, it's really crazy how much a child can treat a grown up. <br />
<br />
I'm so in love with this age, even with the stubbornness and the tantrums. She is seriously the funniest kid I've ever known, she keeps me laughing constantly. I get asked on a weekly basis "is it time for #2 yet?" and not much has changed since the last time I addressed this question. I'm still completely undecided on whether or not there will be a #2. Peyton is a total firecracker with a temper to match. She goes from 0 to 200 in a split second and it can be exhausting...but it's also one of the things I love about her. She's feisty and she can handle herself! <br />
<br />
Edwin and I both took the day off on Friday to take Peyton out for the day. We went to a really neat "farm" called Three Bears Acres and it was blast!! She loved every second. Thankfully a friend of mine had been a few weeks before and had some helpful hits for me so we could really enjoy our time (i.e. start with the attractions to the left b/c everyone else goes to the right, bring a change of clothes, etc...). Here are some pics from our day...<br />

Saturday was her birthday party. We do the same thing every year....we invite family and a few friends and have it outside. It has been hot every year, with the exception of this year. This bipolar weather is making the sick! So I made a last minute call to move the party inside when I woke up Saturday morning and I'm glad I did! It was cold and soooo windy, but it was actually easier to decorate with the party inside. </div>

We did an owl theme and I thought it turned out really cute. Unfortunately my dear husband left our sim card at work so I couldn't use our nice camera and had to use my iPhone. My family all had their cameras though so I'll get copies of pics from them. The party turned out great, we had the perfect amount of people...nothing too overwhelming or stressful.</div>

Clearly I have been the world's worst blogger this year. I'm trying really hard to get back in to posting updates, so for the 2 of you that still read here we go...<br />
<br />
Last week I went away for my very first girl's weekend since becoming a Mommy! That's right, in 3 years I have not been away with my girls at all. It was much needed and much deserved if you ask me! <br />
<br />
Myself and 4 of my wonderful friends decided to go away for a weekend in Myrtle Beach. We're all 5 married to police officers and 4 of us are Mommy's so we were beyond ready for a vacation. To say that we were excited is probably an understatement. I mean on the drive down (at 9am) we were jamming out to old school Ja Rule, Ludacris, Usher and Boyz II Men ready to get our party on. We were a little nervous about the weather since it kept changing from day to day, but we were blessed with sunny 72 degree weather. <br />
<br />
We spent the entire weekend laying out by the pool (it was too cool on the beach), sipping on drinks, going out to eat, sleeping in, going out at night and shopping....it was WONDERFUL!!!<br />

I can't think of anything too earth shattering that has happened since my last post. <br />
<br />
We celebrated my Mom's birthday, which is on Valentine's Day. We had the family over to our house for dinner and just hung out. I love when everyone comes to our house, it's so much more relaxing. Peyton can run around and play and we're able to actually talk to people! <br />
<br />
We also had a decent snow the other weekend. Only about an inch or so stuck, but boy did it snow hard for a few hours. The snow had lightened up by the time Peyton woke but we still had fun playing in it. <br />
<br />
We had a date night scheduled the same weekend it snowed , so we ended up canceling. But the hubby surprised me last week by sending me a text that said he had made dinner reservations and picked a movie and it was all a surprise. We ended up going to an AMAZING French restaurant and then went to see Dark Skies. If you haven't seen that movie, I highly recommend going!! <br />
<br />
Poor girl had a nasty cold all weekend, so we didn't make it to church. We spent time together and took it easy...it was much needed. <br />

<br />
It all started when we had Peyton's first dentist appointment about a week ago. I expected her to cry or scream (which she did) but I wasn't mentally prepared for the dentist to tell me she has a cavity. Yup, my almost 3 yr old already has a cavity. I know she loves to brush her teeth, she lets me brush them 2-3 times a day and lets me floss her teeth. I also know she did not hit the genetic jackpot in the teeth department from either side of the family. So why did I immediately feel like a complete and total failure as a parent? He told me we possibly caught it early enough to where we won't have to fill it, and we'll find out at her next appt in 6 months. <br />
<br />
Tantrums have been back on the rise in our house as well, which exhausts me to my very core. If you've followed my blog for a while, you know my child is EXTREMELY strong willed and stubborn as hell. In the long run these are qualities I'm going to be glad she has, but for now they're killing me. I feel horrible when we go to friends houses and other children are playing well, then you see my kid with her hands on her hips yelling "NO" any time she's asked to do something. Or when we physically have to drag her out while she kicks and screams. Granted this doesn't happen every time...OK it only happened once, but even once feels like a million times. Again, why am I beating myself up over this? I KNOW every other 2-3 year old has tantrums and times when they're defiant, but I'm not witnessing it so I feel like I'm the horrible Mom with the unruly child. <br />
<br />
Which brings me to today. My Mom called to tell me Peyton had an "incident" on the playground at preschool and her teacher sent a note home. Break.my.heart!!!! She may throw tantrums and have an attitude, but she's never hurt another child...until today. Apparently she gave a kid a pretty nasty scratch. We don't know what happened before, maybe it was self defense, but it doesn't matter. <br />
<br />
So it's just been a week of what feels like failure after failure. After talking to my husband I decided I'm going to stop bullying myself because my daughter is acting like a <u>normal </u>almost 3 year old! OK she has a small cavity....at least she has great hygiene and healthy eating habits. OK she has crazy temper tantrums...at least she's loving and sweet the majority of the time. OK she got a note sent home from preschool...we'll work with her and try to be sure it doesn't happen again. <br />
<br />
We, as parents, put too much blame on ourselves for things outside of our control...especially us Mom's. We're not perfect, our kids aren't perfect and that's OK. It's been a rough week emotionally for me, but I have beautiful little girl that's incredibly smart, happy and healthy. I need to count my blessings and stop wallowing in self pity! <br />

Those of you that know her well know exactly what I mean, she was born to be a performer! Our days are never lacking continuous singing and dancing. Lately she's been big on us turning on a music channel on Direct TV and having a "dance party" in the living room. <br />
<br />
Monday after work I had to run some errands and came home to this....be still my heart!<br />

The truth is, I don't give myself much time to update my blog anymore. Running after my almost 3 year old takes most of my time and energy...throw in a full time job, run of the mill house chores, any amount of quality time I can get with the hubby and I rarely feel like writing about anything by the time 8pm rolls around (or 8:30 by the time Peyton has called me back in her room 20 times to do random things so she doesn't have to fall asleep). <br />

Either way, Christmas has come and gone...unfortunately so have my decorations :( I was so sad to take them all down. My house feels so boring now. But we did have an amazing Christmas and I suppose it's finally time to post some pictures of my child being ridiculously spoiled!<br />
<br />
Christmas Eve day my Dad came over and hooked Peyton up with everything "Tangled" that they make. She acquired a new Rapunzel doll with color changing hair, a Rapunzel dress with a tiara and jewelry to go with it of course, Tangled paint book and a massive Disney princess sticker book since 5 stickers books are NEVER enough in our house...and I'm 100% serious about that, the kid has an obsession. <br />

Christmas Eve was the annual Killette Family Oyster Roast. I didn't take any pictures that night, but we had a good time as always! When we got home we put out the cookies we made for Santa and milk, after tasting them both to make sure they weren't bad. Then we went outside and sprinkled our reindeer food in the grass.<br />

Christmas morning we raced out (after making Peyton lay in our bed a good hour after she woke up) to see what Santa had brought. Out of everything, our favorite gift was a beautiful piece of furniture my sweet husband MADE for her. He built a wardrobe for her dress up clothes, shoes and accessories so they're not scattered randomly throughout the house and boy did he do it right. He installed lighting and a mirror, it's pretty bad ass if I do say so myself! We filled it with new stuff and put her old stuff in later. She loved it almost as much as we did...but not quite as much as her new Leap Pad, or "HER tablet" as she calls it. Later my in-laws came over and I cooked breakfast and we had more gifts. By this point my house looked like Disney Princess had vomited everywhere!<br />

After a MUCH needed nap (sweet girl definitely got overwhelmed and over exhausted) we walked over to my Nana's house for one more round of presents and dinner. She slept like a log Christmas night and Wednesday morning we went to Nonnie and Papa's for Christmas with them. <br />

With the holidays in full force, we seem to have something planned constantly. In the past few weeks, there was one major event that basically controlled my life. It was the final planning of our FIRST EVER Wives Behind the Badge "A Night in Blue" Officer's Gala. I have never in my life been so incredibly excited and stressed out at the same time. We had been planning this event for months and I couldn't wait to see how it all came together.<br />

We spent literally months just trying to get our name out there so people knew who we were and what we did...let's face it, it's pointless to have a gala and no one show up! We recruited volunteers, we spoke at a zillion law enforcement events, we found sponsors, we got raffle donations and silent auction donations...just to name a few things. We were so incredibly blessed because a very nice Hilton hotel in the area donated a ball room to us, gave us a great rate on our buffet, offered discounted rates for those that wanted to stay the night and even donated several items to our silent auction and raffle. They were amazing!!!<br />
<br />
The biggest stressor was getting enough people to come and actually fill up the room! Y'all I can't even tell you how many nights of sleep I lost thinking about this one detail. We booked a room with enough tables for 100...we had over 80-something people attend. We were thrilled!!! Not only are we a brand new auxiliary committee, but we had to hold this event on a Thursday night AND this was the very first WBTB gala ever done....we had a lot against us. <br />
<br />
I won't go through the entire day, but it was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. My friend Nicole and I ran errands in the morning then went to get our hair did. Below are some pics from my hairdresser. I was so in love with my hair...can you believe it only took her about 15 mins to do mine?!<br />

<br />
After our hair was beautiful, we headed over to the hotel to finish setting up and to get ready (while drinking champagne to calm our nerves of course). My closest friends all stayed the night at the hotel and we had co-joining rooms...which only made for more fun. Also my college friend (also a police officer) was our DJ and he just happens to be married to one of my very best friends since childhood. I was thrilled I got to spend the evening with the 2 of them!<br />
<br />
Everyone had a blast....the food was awesome, the music was great, the decorations and blue lighting were gorgeous and we even were able to make a nice chunk of change that will help us assist LEO's and their families in their time of need. We even had a news crew find out about the event and come out to interview our Director!<br />
<br />
I walked away from that event with an even closer group of LE friends and family. I haven't heard one bad thing about the event, with the exception of it being on a Thursday. Lucky for us, the Hilton has already given us a date for next year (a Friday!!!) and has agreed to the same cost and terms as this year. We're already planning our 2nd annual gala for 2013 and expect it to be even bigger and better than this one!!!<br />
<br />
Our professional pics aren't done yet, so you have to deal with the few cell phone shots I have. I'll post the amazing ones when our photographers are done editing them!<br />

We had a wonderful time again this year, especially since Peyton really understands the concept of trick-or-treating now. In fact, she loved it so much that she ran around the house with a lunch bag for days saying "trick or treat Mommy" expecting me to give her MORE candy. <br />
<br />
The weekend before Halloween we went to my parent's church for their Fall Festival. They have pizza, face painting, trunk-or-treating, bounce houses and ponies. We were able to see a lot of our friends there and even got a few cute pics. Peyton decided to go as Olivia and her costume was to die for...so stinking cute!!<br />

On Halloween we went trick-or-treating with Peyton's BFF from church, Addison (and her parents of course). For the first time since we were married, my husband was off on Halloween. The police dept decided to start a lottery for officers with young children. 2 or 3 of them are picked randomly each year to be off on Halloween :) Here are some pics from Halloween night. <br />

Our small group from church decided to have a little retreat so we could spend more one-on-one time together and really strengthen our friendships. Unfortunately there were 3 couples that weren't able to make it (and we missed them!) but we had 4 couples that were able to get babysitters for the weekend and go.<br />
<br />
After a 5 hour car ride and newly formed "bromance" between my husband and Nick (which all started over Bojangles biscuits...seriously), we finally made it to Maggie Valley. We met the other 2 couples at the grocery store, got a few things for the weekend and headed straight to downtown Waynesville for a little lunch and shopping. We eventually headed back to the house to get ready for dinner (and so Jennifer and I could change out of the pajama pants we had on). We cooked an AH-MAZING dinner the first night and got a fire going for stories and s'mores. The weather was cool, but not freezing. It was perfect. After a few rounds of Catch Phrase we were out for the night.<br />

The 2nd day was our hiking day. We got up (way too early, thank you Randy hahaha) and drove to Cherokee to hike a trail in that area. Our 4 mile hike ended up being around 8 miles...no kidding. The weather was perfect yet again thankfully because we obviously weren't very skilled at reading signs on the trail. Even though the hike was about 2x's longer than we had planned, we enjoyed every minute...except maybe the last 30. <br />

We went to Bryson City after the hike to finally eat. I'm not sure we picked the greatest place to eat because EVERYTHING was beer battered, fried, and slathered in butter. And I mean everything! Edwin and I got the absolute only thing on the menu that wasn't fried...the ham and cheese sandwich. After that we all got ice cream and headed back to the house for naps and showers.<br />
<br />
We had to force ourselves to get some dinner around 8pm since we had such a late lunch and weren't very hungry. We went to a great pizza place in downtown Waynesville and somehow managed to pig out yet again. We spent the rest of the evening talking...with the TV off. It was a nice change from the "real world". We talked about how we all met our spouses, told funny stories and just enjoyed each others company...something we don't do nearly enough. <br />
<br />
I really hope we do this trip again next year. I sure missed my little girl, but feel like I came away from the weekend with stronger friendships within my church family. <br />

The hubby was in a training all week and we barely saw each other, so we didn't want a hectic weekend. Peyton got her first hair cut this weekend. Ok, so it's really just a small trim but it makes a world of difference. She's had these long strands hanging down her back for months making her look slightly homeless (see below). <br />

Now it's all trimmed up and looks adorable! She loved having her hair trimmed, as long as she was able to play with the spray bottle :)<br />

We also did a lot of playing in the dirt, which is always fun. <br />

For those of you that live in the area, you know Saturday it rained...I mean REALLY rained...ALLLLL day. We had a Family Fun Day planned on Saturday for Wives Behind the Badge, and I was really looking forward to our event. We had reserved a shelter at an awesome park in the area, but alas the rain took over. A few dedicated families came out despite the rain and it ended up being a really fun time. The kids got to ride the carousel, train and boats as many times as they wanted without waiting in line. They had a blast and that's all that matters!<br />

Can we please ignore my lack of makeup and horrible rain-soaked curled-up hair?!</div>

Saturday evening we hit up the mall to get a few fall clothes for Peyton. I came down with a nasty fever while we were out and we had to cut the trip short (not before we got ice cream though). Everyone else had a cold earlier in the week and I guess it was my turn, I thought I had escaped it. I spent Saturday night and most of Sunday in the bed or on the couch. Thankfully Peyton wanted to be pretty chill on Sunday and I was able to rest most of the day. I'm still feeling pretty crummy today, but I hope to have this mess gone soon.<br />
<br />
We have a busy weekend coming up with our town's Harvest Festival and a baby shower. Not to mention I have to pick out our Halloween costumes SOON!!!<br />
