So sorry. With the use of Facebook and Instagram I don't think many people use blogs these days...but maybe I am wrong.<br />
Second, today is Steven and my 15 year Wedding anniversary. I can't believe it has been 15 years. It almost seems like yesterday that we were walking down the aisle but yet so much has happened in this time. I am so thankful to have a faithful and loving husband. We are blessed with three beautiful children and we still enjoying spending time together. <br />
Finally, maybe I should update the world on our life. What do you think? I will try...but I don't have a lot of time. I will see what I can do. <br />
Love,<br />

As I mentioned in my last post a LOT has happened since I stopped blogging last year. One important thing to note is that Peyton continues to grow into a lovely little girl. She is now 4 years old and is full of energy and creativity. She just started Pre-K this week and is doing great. She loves to color, play with her stuffed animals, and make up stories with her princess toys. She also loves all things princess as you can see from her beautiful dress. I will continue to post images from her daily activities (I now have a blogger app on my phone). Enjoy the photos from her first day of school. </div>

It has been over a year since I blogged - bummer and I am so sorry. I thought I would kick things back up with some back to school blogging and an update on ALL that has been going on in our family. A lot has happened since my last post. Let us start here with some pictures of Preston on his FIRST day of FIRST grade! Crazy. </div>

our easel broke last year...so we just made our own sign this morning. I really miss the easel. Oh yes, notice how TALL Preston is. I think he is the tallest student in First grade - no joke. <br />

He has had this backpack since his first year in Preschool. This will be year four and it is showing its wear. I know he will be excited to have a new backpack next year... but just one more year with this backpack would be nice! </div>

From time to time I bribe my children to take photos for me. This is one of those times. Every year I wait until my neighbors bushes are blooming with lovely white flowers and then I run outside with my kids and my camera to document the moment. This year the shoot went ok. Our neighbor, Mr. Joe, wasn't home at the time and he is always a big help in getting my children to smile. Anyway, here are some photos just for mom. Here are those lovely white flowers!! </div>

I thought I would give a quick update on our little Peyton who is now THREE! Its crazy to think that she has been a part of our family for over 3 years. I couldn't imagine life without her. She is super sweet, energetic and compassionate. Her hair is wild and crazy but it just part of who she is. She loves her babies, princesses and playing dress up. She also loves her friends SO much! I will post more pictures from her 3 year old shoot in a few days. For now, enjoy these cute shots of our sweet little girl. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKz2TLwdpMsFKl1z98BS1Rq2r-sXxW-8XQkQletIloBmnYGasN5fHsA_8wFdGXadp4HD7dNiReiXWOYfL5uL4T2u49DnTTPRtGHlsKYK0tXMF7x9EdzoOe_efSUpmlIti1UPuCorOxKs6m/s1600/peyton+cute+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKz2TLwdpMsFKl1z98BS1Rq2r-sXxW-8XQkQletIloBmnYGasN5fHsA_8wFdGXadp4HD7dNiReiXWOYfL5uL4T2u49DnTTPRtGHlsKYK0tXMF7x9EdzoOe_efSUpmlIti1UPuCorOxKs6m/s1600/peyton+cute+.jpg" height="320" width="640" /></a></div>

The next two posts are pictures from some fun Birthday parties the kids have been invited to the past month. Its always a highlight for our family to celebrate with others for their Birthday. I think Birthday parties were invented for an excuse to have a fun play date :) I can't wait for Peyton's party this year! Its going to be epic. Ok, back to the parties for some of our friends. This post has pictures when Peyton was invited to a party from one of her friends from school. The party took place at the Magic house which is super sweet. First, the girls were able to decorate their own princess crown. Peyton had lots of hearts and pink decorations. </div>

While the street project is still in the works they have finished the part in front of our house. I am SO THANKFUL to have my driveway and the construction moved away from my house. I want to share a few reflections about this project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few pictures of the finished work in front of our house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Positive Points: </div>
<div align="center">
First, I am thankful for the new lower section of our driveway. While I am not a huge fan of blacktop I am thankful for a clean beginning to our driveway. It is a bit wider then it was before. It is also straight which is nice. Second, the new street looks very nice. The workers did an excellent job pouring concrete and everything looks good. The rain also drains nicely and does not pool. </div>
<div align="center">
Negative Points: </div>
<div align="center">
First, there is SO MUCH CONCRETE! Seriously, why did you take out so much grass and replace it with concrete. This is a neighborhood street and not a highway. I think our road is now wider than some roads where there are no houses and the speed limit is 40 mph. Would it have hurt you to leave me about 2 more feet of grass space? I know you wanted 'more room for parking' but this is a bit much. Oh yes, I hear you are going to expand the other side of the street as well. Again, are you serious. Who is in charge of this project? Do they think it will look good. I am much more pessimistic now than I ever was about this project. Second, you cut down my Gingko tree for this? A bunch of concrete is more important than a beautiful tree. Oh yes, what about the SAFETY of my kids and other people walking on the sidewalk? You left little to no buffer space. Please tell me you are going to plant bushes or something. I sure hope my kids don't fall off their bike and land in the street. This is a law suit waiting to happen. It is not safe at all. Who is in charge of this project? </div>
<div align="center">
Finally, why on earth did you start this project in October? The person in charge of planning should be fired or severely punished for this idiotic planning. You made me walk across a street for months with my little children because I couldn't use my driveway. Please help me understand why you didn't wait until the spring to start this project when the chance of snow and ice was 0%. Again, who is in charge? </div>
<div align="center">
Ok, one more. Why was all this money spent on Concrete and our street when it really didn't need work in the first place. Why wasn't this money spent on our local schools, the library, veterans, etc... I can think of dozens of causes that are more important than our street. I think someone needs to check their priorities. I don't think this street will make a big difference in our city. If you spent a couple million on our schools it would make a BIG difference. Maybe I should run for election in our area? Then again, maybe not. </div>

Potty Training with Peyton has been taking place at the Dalbey house this weekend. Thankfully, it has been going VERY well. We have been talking about 'going potty' for a while but this weekend I think it finally clicked. We went to Target and I told Peyton she could pick out her own underwear. She picked out Dora and some Princess undies. Classic. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started the 'training' a bit on Thursday and after 1 accident (which she did not like) she has been clean and dry the entire weekend! Yes, I am amazed. We continue to read these books which have been helping quite a bit as well. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh yes, I haven't had to force Peyton to use the potty at all. She has been staying dry and is telling me when she has to go. Can I say amazing one more time!? I am praying that this potty training business continues to go well and the transition to going potty at school goes well this week. I am so thankful!! </div>

Is my life boring? I have been thinking about this a lot the past few weeks. Perhaps it is due in part to the lack of outdoor play/freezing temperatures that has made me ponder my life a bit. I also, will admit, that looking at Facebook is often a very bad idea. Seeing other mom's out with their children and involved in fun activities always produces guilt, jealousy, etc... Am I doing enough with my kids? Do I provide fun activities for them? Am I a good mom? A whole list of questions fill my mind and my thoughts are less than encouraging. Oh yes, I will also note that Peyton was sick this past weekend and any plans I had to hang out with some friends was cancelled due to some sort of virus moving through her system. I'm sure this only adds to the boring schedule that is our life...or so I think. <br />
<br />
I am hopeful that when the weather warms up we will be able to get outside a bit more and I won't feel so down on my life. I'm sure this is the main reason for my low feelings. Our family often heads to one of the MANY parks St. Louis has to offer when the weather is warm. Oh yes, did I mention the FREE zoo or museum's? All are amazing and we love getting out. Its also a great time to hang out with friends and most of the winter germs have gone away. Again, I am hopeful that I will get out more with friends and their kids this spring/summer/fall. I also think it would be good for me to call more people and see if they want to get together and hang out. <br />
<br />
Does anyone else have similar feelings? Am I just forgetting what is true: Winter is a hard time for families with kids or I'm not really boring but just comparing myself to some unrealistic life I see on Facebook? For real, why do I have a hard time believing that I am a good mom and friend? Is my life defined by my activities or my children. Thankfully, I believe that it is not. I believe I am defined by God's great love for me in Christ who calls me his child and loves me faithfully and fully. Perhaps I can begin to have this more in mind as I love my children, spend time with them and help them engage with friends and the big wide world.

I have been doing some work in our house to make it look…better. For so long so many of our walls were bare or just looked bad (or at least I thought they looked bad). I have also been trying to bring in some personality to our house. I think adding some unique pieces of art to our house can be fun and display a bit of our history and personality. Anyway, I decided to start on a bare wall in the kids playroom. I had a bunch of random frames and pictures that needed a place to live and I decided to make something work. Here is the finished product. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Let me share some specify details of why I chose these items to hang on our wall. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGeIMXRZDLDwdT2GeYFtNnka_bdMr6jaNHnZ5PYqWyDVLofI4i3plFvfAx74Gis8PWF_NMJEEPFgV0mwlpWxOfis95CDgKY-ngp1w3BEIY20gjmhfKYOj50BLoPglE681RgLLoWE1rhzb4/s1600/photo+1-4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGeIMXRZDLDwdT2GeYFtNnka_bdMr6jaNHnZ5PYqWyDVLofI4i3plFvfAx74Gis8PWF_NMJEEPFgV0mwlpWxOfis95CDgKY-ngp1w3BEIY20gjmhfKYOj50BLoPglE681RgLLoWE1rhzb4/s1600/photo+1-4.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This hand embroidered item was something my mom made years ago before she got sick. My dad gave it to me a few weeks ago and I knew immediately that I needed to display it. I found an old frame in our basement, painted it with some leftover paint and viola - a framed item with some family history. I would like to note that my mom was talented in this area. She made quite a few items and this one is one of my favorites. I don't have many items from my mom. She really didn't have a lot to begin with. She was a simple person who was content to give to others. I hope I can follow her example. </div>

I just purchased this piece last week. Its from Katie Daisy and I LOVE her stuff. Check out here site <a href="http://www.katiedaisy.com/">here</a>. She is another amazingly talented artist and I love all her work. I chose this piece because I don't think we take enough time to be still in our lives. I know I could use some extra time to be still and reflect on many things… I hope this print serves as a good reminder. </div>

The next three pieces are a special work of art by me and the kids. I think its important to show of their/our work in our home. I may not be talented in the painting category I still think its important to help make our house a home. The first painting is from Preston. There is the sun, sky, mountains and grass. He is actually a very talented artist. I'll try and post more of his work :) </div>

Finally, I have a Calendar. This print is from the talented Lindsey of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HelloHueStudio">Hello Hue </a>.

I think that is all for now. I have a few random frames to fill with pictures of the kids but that should be finished soon. I love knowing that this wall is now filled with so many wonderful pieces and wonderful memories. I hope your home is filled with the same. </div>

Little Peyton hasn't been feeling 100% the past few days. She has some sort of virus (or a couple of them) that have made her digestive system upset. Thankfully, she is still eating, drinking, playing and generally in a good mood. I'm sure this virus will work itself through and be gone in a couple days. While I do not like to see my children sick I am enjoying a few extra cuddles. This picture was taken on Saturday when it was 60 degrees outside. I wish this cold weather would go away but that is another story. </div>

I keep thinking 'this would make a great blog post'… and then the thought fades away and I can't seem to find them. In order to prevent the loss of these thoughts I am going to start writing blog posts, even if they are short, as they come to me. Perhaps this will help me keep my blog updated…I hope. <br />

Here is a highlight from the past few weeks. I took some pictures of the kids as a preview for some Valentine Photo sessions. They were a delight to photograph and I will always treasure these images. </div>

Here are a few more pictures that I took of the painting project at our house. As you can see it has been a big job. So big that I even had the kids help. They were very eager to help so I had to find the best place for them to work. This big wall was the best I could do for them and they LOVED it! </div>

This wall was a lot of work. I had to edge at the ceiling and baseboards. I then had to re paint the white trim around the window and paint the wall. I think I watched the state of the union speech that night...and then went to bed. </div>

It was time. Time to say Goodbye to the Santa Fe Pottery color in our living room. Why? 8 years was more than enough. While I really liked the color I knew we needed something more clean and simple for our living space and I was very happy to change things up. I am still finishing a few spots but the room is about 80% complete. I also re painted all the white trim AND the ceiling. Wow, it really needed a fresh coat of paint. Oh yes, I also sold our TV console and purchased a new one at Target online. This new stand opens up the room so much and I am so glad I made the change. Here are a few photos. I think everyone can agree that it looks a lot better. </div>

Here was our first wall complete. I was eager to move things out, paint and move things back as quickly as possible. I wanted to minimize the 'crazy house project' look as much as possible. </div>

I am so thankful for the wonderful friends my children have. From school to church we are indeed very blessed with compassionate, gracious and loving friends. This is a sweet picture of Peyton and her friend, Cora. These two are only 2 weeks apart in age and already have such a sweet bond. I love watching them love each other as they learn and explore life together. I hope and pray that both my children have such wonderful friends during their lifetime. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1z4nVeRBAjrJih9yhRXNJTACBiyXr9r5ieEhGcVEkLSO9AEUWmGHYwS2TO3LF57QsapzBrYM7f-NX_mrnqOIBlwf2qR_xaHilw3FlDr-wCm8O_FONUjJtSAPXQHgapSGDROpk8BpTCGQ/s1600/DSC_1097.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1z4nVeRBAjrJih9yhRXNJTACBiyXr9r5ieEhGcVEkLSO9AEUWmGHYwS2TO3LF57QsapzBrYM7f-NX_mrnqOIBlwf2qR_xaHilw3FlDr-wCm8O_FONUjJtSAPXQHgapSGDROpk8BpTCGQ/s1600/DSC_1097.JPG" height="406" width="640" /></a></div>

Peyton and her friends had the opportunity to go to the Magic house this past weekend. The girls had so much fun exploring and were completely wiped out when they left. Here are a few pictures of our fun time together. Peyton and her friend C enjoyed taking care of the babies. </div>

Peyton and her friend J also had fun playing house with the giant doll house. Peyton was a little upset when I told her we had to leave. I am so thankful that she loves to play with babies. </div>

Peyton did some of her own exploring the water and car repair areas. I guess her brother has rubbed off on her a little bit. I am so thankful we could have this time together. </div>

I just can't let another day go by without posting a few of these photos. Here we have Preston and Peyton with their cousin, Miss E, on Christmas Eve. The kids are wearing the Santa PJ's and they are having a blast! Preston, who is a typical oldest child, is pulling his cousin around my Dad's house while Peyton happily chases after them. They did this for a solid 20 plus minutes before the adults decided that it was time to move on to another activity. Oh yes, the wagon you see in the picture was a Christmas gift for cousin A (not pictured) and she had not yet arrived at the house. Lesson learned: If you don't wrap a toy on Christmas eve the kids are sure to play with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this series of photos is awesome. Just look at the expressions on all the kids faces. Priceless. </div>

I know, I know. Christmas was almost a month ago. I'm sorry. I really meant to post these pictures a few weeks ago. Life happens. I'm glad I finally remembered to post these images now. Its also nice to go through these pictures again and remember the wonderful times we shared together over Christmas with family. Just look at the following picture of Peyton opening her Ballerina doll! Adorable!! She is such a sweet little girl. </div>

Last week was bitterly cold. It looked so beautiful from inside with all the snow on the ground…but the temps were very low. I'm talking -1 for the high. We didn't leave the house on Monday and then only left the house on Tuesday for Peyton's routine dr. app. I took advantage of our being outside that day and tried to see if the kids could blow some bubbles and see them freeze. I know I have seen pictures of bubbles freezing in the cold temps but our bubbles just blew away. It was windy. I'm sure the bubbles eventually froze but we didn't stick around long enough to see it.

I want to post some pictures of our Snow Day last week before life continues to fly by. How does time pass so quickly? I guess between work, family, photography, a social life, home, etc… I stay pretty busy. Anyway, here are some fun photos from our time in the snow last week. As I write this I am thinking this will be part 1 as we had a couple opportunities to head out in the snow last week. Stay tuned. I'm so thankful my children allow me to document their lives with my camera. </div>

Birthday Parties are a lot of fun. Well, I think they are a lot of fun! Preston and Peyton have been invited to a handful of parties the past year. Their friends from Church and school are super fun and creative. Today, Preston was invited to a party at a Gymnastics Gym and it was awesome. Here are a few pictures from our time there. I think you can see that the kids had a lot of fun. </div>

Peyton always jumps in to play at these events. She has no fear! </div>

Part of my new years resolution is to organize some things in our house. My home office/bedroom is one of those places. I have so many papers, cards, camera equipment, etc... that has just taken over. This is not cool. So, I am on a mission this month to get things clean. Here are some photos and words on my process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I have a bin FULL of cards and letters. My goal is to take this and organize the cards into books. </div>

Here is a look at the work. The closed bin holds all my blank cards. Yes, I am one of those people who has a stash on hand ready for almost any occasion. </div>

The Dalbey family would like to wish you a Happy New Year. 2013 had many challenges and blessings for our family. Some highlights from our family include Steven's new job, Katrina's mom passing away, going on our first vacation in 3 years and celebrating 10 years of marriage. It hard to believe that is is 2014. Certainly, we have many hopes and goals for this year. Some goals for the year include keeping my house organized…. or maybe just modestly clean, growing my photography business, and scheduling quality time with my family. Thank you for your continued support, care, prayers and love. We have so much to be thankful for and look forward to a wonderful year. Please stay connected with our family via this blog. </div>
