Happy Birthday Grandad!!

Brian's Dad had a big birthday this weekend! It is flag day, so earlier in the day, Payton and Granna Sue decorated his cake earlier that morning, and Payton had so much fun with the colored icing. Needless to say she had a red and blue mouth for awhile!
The icing on the flag stick sure taste good!

I think I really want some of that cake!!


Thank goodness we didn't put that many candles on the cake...Payton might have had a hard time blowing all of them out!

Pool Fun!

This weekend we went to LR for Brian's dad's B-day. My friend Rachel and her little boy George came over to swim, and we had so much fun playing and spashing in the pool. Both kids were little fishes and loved the water!
George loved going down the slide...

After all that swimming we had to cool off with a pop-cicle..Brian's mom found these with Jello that were the perfect size and didn't melt as fast!



Payton loved the adult float. It was like her own little pool. We are going to have to invest in one!

Birthdays and Buds

I can't believe that the day has come that Presley has turned 2! You know what that means....that in 2 months, Payton will be 2 also! YIKES!! We went to Fun City to celebrate with her, and had so much fun, the kids played in all the tunnels and rode the kiddie rides. Happy Birthday Presley!!!

Ok...do you see something you have never seen before??? Look close...P has a pony tail! It is small I know, but it is so cute!


We have also been going to the library this summer, it is great to get out and have a place to be every week. This week our friend Paige met us there, and the girls danced and sang along. Can't wait till next week!

Little Stinker...

I was shocked when the Payton's nap was nearing 3 hours and wondering how I was ever going to get her back to bed that night...when I heard a tiny peep and went into check on her and she had taken a book off her book shelf and was relaxing in her bed just reading, so quiet and content. There is no telling how long she had been like that, it is totally her personality to read quietly on her own....such a sweet gift she is!

Playing at the park with our buddies

This week we walked to the park with our friend Ava and then met our friend Andie there. We started out on the little playground and then moved on to the bigger one. The girls loved the big slide and Payton even decided she wanted to climb the ladder to the top! She is such a daredevil and stopped my heart while she did it...

Taking the big climb...and saying, "whoa!"



Such good buddies...aren't they the cutest!

Sweet Friends!

We have such sweet friends! The other day we went to the promanade and played in the water with our friend Paige, aren't they cute! Last night Presley came over and the kids ate tons of cake and then played such sweet songs on the piano!

Payton's Play House!

We are sad we have this house, but happy at the same time. When our friends the Butcher's decided to move to South Carolina, the movers told them that their playhouse wouldn't make the move, so they decided to let us have it! It has made a home in our garage for the last few weeks because of all the rain, and finally it dried up enough outside for Brian to put it back together and now we love it!! Thanks Ruth and Elijah!!
