Payton's first day of KDO!

This Thursday was Payton's first day of Kids Day Out! She is going 2 days we week this year, and we are both really excited about it. Her teachers are Ms Becca and Ms Kara, and Becca and I are great friends so I know she will be super taken care of...even though she did stick a jelly bean up her nose on the first day!!

Here is the have to be taken picture by the door!

Obviously she likes the house in her classroom!

Standing by her name on the wall where she puts her nap mat...

I have been eyeing this shirt for awhile, and I finally got it for her...it fits perfectly with her love of shoes! She takes after her mom...what can I say :)

Parker's Dedication

The same weekend as Payton's birthday party we had Parker dedicated at church. It was such a special time. It was great to have all of our family there and share in the experience. Parker wore the same outfit that Brian and his brother Nathan wore when they were christened, and it fit him like a glove...another week and we would have been too late, this boy is growing like a weed! But he looked adorable in it.

My baby's 3!

I can't believe that Payton is 3! She decided to have a Razorback party this year, which was fine with me because we just made it one big tailgate! And we know how to tailgate in this family! We had some highschool cheerleaders come and they were a huge hit. They tumbled for the girls and did jumps, it was awesome. It was a little hot by the end of the party, but we had shade in the "holding pen" and we had soooo much fun! I love you sweet Payton!

July Catch-up

Oh my have we been busy...doing not much! How has this summer flown by already? Here are some random pictures from July to give a small glimpse of how we are changing! Parker is getting so big...I am really looking forward to his doctor's appt tomorrow to see just how big he is! He is rolling over all the time and so smiley! He is such a happy baby! We are sooo blessed. Payton is becoming such a big girl. She is my helper at home, and loves her little brother. He laughes just looking at her!

Here are some more pics from the 4th of July...we went to church and then after a relaxing day we did some fireworks here before we went to the Church at Pinnacle Hills for thier firework show...it was awesome! It was so fun for Brian and I to experience the joy in Payton's face and expressions during the show. She was sooo excited and kept screaming and clapping, it was priceless. Parker on the other hand...watched for a while, I could actually see his head following them to the sky...and then he was out! Who knew he could be such a sound sleeper!

These sweet lips are soooo kissable! I love them!

It is amazing to me that Parker is already grabbing and playing with things! He loves playing with the parrot on his bouncy seat and it is so fun to watch him go at it!

A few nights ago the sunset was so pretty that Brian got Payton up out of bed so she could go see it. The funniest part was Friday morning, Payton woke up a little early and said, "Daddy! I see the sunset! Want to go see the sunset??" Or...sunrise my dear! It was pretty to!

Happy 4th of July!

Tomorrow is the 4th and we celebrated by making a flag cake...Yummy!!
