Mommy's Make-up

I think these pictures explain it all! My little soccer player, and ruff and tumble girl...can be pretty girly! She loves make-up and decided to get into a little mascara! Smartie she knows it goes on your eyes...she is the most observant little girl I have ever met. She actually wanted to keep it on, and I had to do some real cohersing to get it off before we went out of the house!

First Soccer Practice!

Run Payton Run!!

Kicking her first goal!

Payton celebrating after she kicked her first goal!

Go Huskies!
Payton had her first soccer practice on Thursday and it was a success! I think the parents had just as much fun watching as the kids did playing! Our friend Alesha is the coach, (presley's mom) and she did a great job! The kids all took turns kicking the ball into the goal and then running down the field.They all put their hands in and said, "go Huskies!!". It was so cute! It sure was a chilly practice, and hopefully our games will be warmer, or this mom will have a hard time watching!

Finally a beautiful day!!

Yesterday was finally a beautiful day! We had to take advantage of it and go to the park! We called our friend Jonah to see if he wanted to come, and off we went! We had so much fun on the swings, and Payton and Jonah raced going down the slides. Come on Spring! We are ready for you!!

Fun times bowling

Recently we have had 2 bowling outings with Payton! Valentines weekend Brian's parents came up and we went to fast lane. Payton got to use the rack to help her bowl. She was so patient waiting for her ball to come back! It was precious, she would put her hands on her knees so they wouldn't get squished.
Then last weekend we went to the Springdale bowling alley with the Stams, and she got to learn how to really try and bowl without the rack. As you can see, she had many different techniques....luckily, she is going to play soccer this spring!

Snow Snow and more Snow!

Cheese!! I am a ham!

A big thumbs up! I love sledding!

We got to go sledding down our friend Presley's hill, and her cousins brought over a mattress! It was great! All the kids could go down at the same time!

Ok well I know I am a little behind posting some of our snow pictures from this crazy nwa weather! The first snow was fun...the second was great...the third one is getting a litte annoying! I love the snow and how pretty it is, but I am ready to go back to the park!

I guess we are getting ready...

Here is a belly pic of me at Brian's cousin Casey's wedding January 22nd. I think I am about 30 weeks here...


Well...I guess we are getting ready for this new little one to come. We have been working really hard cleaning our our office to transform it to a nursrey. It was an OFFICE...it had desk, computer, tv, couch....an OFFICE and not to mention tons of my old school things. So...after some help from Brian's parents and a huge haul to goodwill, we got rid of so much! I felt better after Brian put the crib back together and the chair and changing table are in place. The changing table still has a printer on it...but for the most part the rough pieces are in place. We still have a lot of work to do!

Saturday was a fun Razorback day with the basketball game in the afternoon, and the bowl game that night! Well...fun, until we lost the basketball game in the last 2 seconds...but I will let Brian comment on that. We met our friend Paige there and sat with them during the game. Toward the end of the game, the Wood Family and Justin Hunter came to sit with us. Brian Wood and Brian lived together in collage and they, along with Justin were AVID basketball fans in their day, and would all go to games together, get there early, and sit on the front row of the student section. It was so funny to watch them back together again....with kids! They were a little toned down thanks to the small ears who were listening!


Well...the crowd was a little lacking...that's some fair weather fans!

The popcorn was a huge hit. It kept us in our seat for a looong time!
