ONE Amazing Year

Well, it seems like just yesterday I was holding my precious newborn baby in my arms.......and within a matter of minutes she turned one! This has truly been the best year of our lives. Bryce and I are so blessed and grateful to have this wonderful, heavenly gift. Everyday has been better than the last. Payton also just learned to walk a couple of days before her birthday! We are so thankful to have the opportunity to be parents to this beautiful little girl! Here are some pictures of her first birthday party, along with a few from this amazing year!

Ahhh....laska

For our 4-year anniversary, Bryce and I went on a cruise to Alaska. It was the most beautiful, incredible place I have ever been to. We saw humpback whales, bald eagles, sea lions, and even a bear. The landscape was amazing. The weather was absolutely perfect....in the 70's and sunny. I never imagined I would see people tanning on this particular cruise! Some of the activities we did included whale watching, a historic train ride through the mountains of the gold rush era, and ziplining. It was so much fun that we couldn't help but talk of plans for our next trip to Alaska before we even left! We also spent an extra day in Seattle where we met up with our good friends Chad and Courtney. Here are a few pictures of our adventure, although honestly they hardly do the real thing justice!
