Happy Anniversary!

A pic from our honeymoon in Nassau...


Five years ago on Saturday, Brian and I got married! Time has flown by with so many life changes that have made us stronger and have given us the opportunity to grow so much together. Honey, I love you with all my heart and are so proud of the husband you are and the father you have become. I can't imagine my life with anyone else and am so glad the Lord brought us togther. Happy Anniversary!
Thanks Corb and Alesha for letting us go to dinner to celebrate..You guys are the best!

Uncles Weekend!

What a fun weekend we had! My brother Mitchell came up and took us out to lunch, so sweet. Afterwards, he and Payton played in our front yard.



Brian's brother Nathan was here on Saturday and Sunday and got to go to the Hog game with us. We went out to eat on Sat night, Las Margaritas (yum!) We got a pretty cute family pic that I thought I would share. It seems hard to get those these days!

Ok, so I decided to make breakfast on Sunday morning, so I made do-nuts!! They were so easy and so good! This isn't helping my quest to get in shape before we head to Mexico!

A sweet treat from Lousiana via Little Rock

Yum-o! Brian's dad goes to Lousiana every other week for work and sent us up a King cake! Payton helped open the box and then got a little taste and needless to say we know she has a sweet tooth! She wore the beads that came with it out to dinner and I had to finally take them off when we put her jammies on!




This last one is my favorite! It is like she is saying, "That's enough...I know I am fabulous!"

Baby Bumble Bee!

This morning Payton decided to be a performer....which wasn't so hard for my little singer...She had her stage and everything. I would like to apologize for the background vocals..I can't stand hearing my voice on tape and everytime I decide I am going to talk normal from now on...it never happens. Enjoy!!

Valentine Goodies

Well we were so excited to get some goodies in the mail from Payton's Grand Jenny! She bought her the cutest red and pink valentine clothes and Payton loved them! The jeans were a hit since we have had a growing spurt, we have outgrown all our jeans! She also got a Backyardigans book from Granjann which she LOVES! It keeps her attention forever and now she is mastering the names, so far we have "Pablo and Tasha" down and understandable, and the rest of them we are still working on!
Granna Sue also got her the cutest bathing suit and cover-up. It will be perfect for this spring when we hit the pool...sorry there are no pictures of it....it will have to get out if the 30's for us to try that one on!




She looks so old in this picture! I can't believe how big she is getting!

Happy Valentines Day!

Payton with a face full of hershey kisses! She is my sweet tooth (and no that is not why she is in the 95th percentile! I hardly ever give her sweets) It was valentines day so she had to have some chocolate for dessert!

But it sure is fun to play "where is payton"...what makes this day any different than the others?

Huh...what is this chocolate doing all over my hands? It taste much better in my mouth...

18 months fly by!

Happy Birthday Payton Anne! You were 18 months yesterday! We had a wonderful day, and luckily the shot you got at the Dr. hasn't phased you a bit!
Here are your new stats:
Height: 33 3/4in 95%tile
Weight: 28.8 lbs 94%tile
WOW! You have grown so much! I remember when you were smaller, you were in the 10th, then 20th percentile! You are such a big girl!


Oh, just shakin it a little bit!
