Awwwww!

When I went to wake up Madison for school this morning this is what I found:

Peyton must have wanted someone to cuddle with in the middle of the night and found her sisters bed. It was pretty cute.

A Weekend of Birthday Parties!

We had a busy weekend full of birthday parties for Peyton! We had a family party and then a friends party. The theme was "Fall Leaves". Here are some pictures from the parties and fun that filled our house!

FAMILY PARTY:Peyton helped to make her birthday cupcakes.

FRIENDS PARTY:

What a full and fun weekend! We had a great time and were exhausted by the end.....but it is all worth it! Happy Birthday Peyton!

Peyton Turns 3!

This past weekend, November 13th to be exact, Peyton turned 3! I can't believe how time has flown. She has gone from toddler to little girl. She fills me with smiles every day. Peyton is really such a sweet soul and I can not imagine life without her in our family.

Here are some of Peyton's "loves" at this moment in time : Drawing, painting, play dough, baby dolls, animals that she approaches, her best friend blankie, Dora, Elmo, playing with friends, cucumber, milk, books, puzzles, make believe, the beach.

Here are some things that Peyton is not too fond of at this moment: Animals that approach her, people in costumes, brushing her hair, toothpaste (and we have tried many different kinds), the dark, being left in Sunday School without any of her family (this has been over a year of crying and hanging on our leg).

Happy Birthday Peyton. I love you and am so happy you are in my life! You are my sunshine!

Ice Cream

Peyton: "Daddy, I want some more chocolate ice cream."

Bryan: " Be thankful for what you've got."

Peyton: "But I don't have any more... Silly Daddy!" :)

Halloween Fun 2010

The weekend of Halloween was a very busy one! We had 3 carnivals to attend on Friday and Saturday, 1 at Maddies school, one at my school, and one at church. Halloween was on Sunday and we had some family (My parents, Bry's parents, Ryan, Kristin and Konnor, and Caitie) and our friend Tracy over for dinner and trick or treating. It was packed full of fun! Here are just some pictures of the weekend in no particular order! Bryan's Favorite part of Halloween.... carving pumpkins. He is really good at it too!Madison, Tracy, Caitie (yes... as a hot dog), and myself.
Peyton a little ladybug and Madison a little witch.
Grandma made them cute matching trick or treat bags.

Trick or Treat! Konnor was a little Monkey! So Cute!Bryan helped the neighbor kids carve a pumpkin...a Mummy with their names on it!

Peyton chose to have Dora on her pumpkin. Caitie asked Peyton what she should be for Halloween. Peyton said she should be a hot dog. So...here is the outcome. Super Dog Aunt Caitie! What a good sport! It was SO funny!I worked a game at Madison's School Carnival with friend Kristin.Pumpkin shaped pancakes for breakfast! Madison and neighbor friend, Aidan, scooping out a pumpkin.
