Rock Star

She was trying for a while to get this orange headband on to her head. Then she finally came over to me, handed it, and bent her head for me to put it on. After this, she continued to crawl on top of anything that she could. This is her mound of toys in her "toy corner" that she plays with. I have given up trying to keep them organized, so every night after she goes to bed, I just throw them into the corner. Here she is climbing on a box that has puzzles in it. She just cracks me up these days! And she gets more and more fun as the days go by. Oh, and all 4 of her top front teeth have now come through...Hallelujah!

Easter and Birthday!

Does it get better than this!?! Cake with your cousins, and a beautiful princess dress that your grandma and grandpa gave you for easter? I don't think so! She did so well with her individual pictures, but boy does she not like group shots! She better learn to! There are MANY more years of them taking pictures together! We had so much fun at grandma and grandpa's house for easter this year. We had fajitas for lunch *no we are not mexican, we just don't always like to do the conventional thing! Imagine that! Then the dads hid some eggs in the backyard and all the little kiddos went a-hunting. Except for Eva cause she can't walk. They all had a pretty good time though I think. It will be so much more fun next year though, when they can almost all do it by themselves! I love spending time with my family! I will be sure to post some pictures of the hunt when I get home to my camera chord!

The Birthday Girl!!

My little P-nut turned 1 Today!!! We had a couple people over for cake and ice cream. At first she wasn't too excited about people watching her and didn't know quite what to do with the big brown thing in front of her, but as soon as I gave her a little taste, she went to town. She loved it! Happy Birthday Peyton. You have been nothing but joy to us and we look forward to many many more years of joy with you. We love you, Mommy and Daddy

Gone Baby Gone

Last Friday, Lance took baby P to Sacramento. It was definately a traumatic experience for me. Packing my husband away for a week is bad enough. But packing up Peyton and putting her in the truck with Lance, knowing that I wouldn't see her for 6days, just did me in. I tried to play with her all morning, and had a lot of fun, but as soon as I buckled her into her carseat, the waterworks started. I was only a wreck for about 2 minutes, but I couldn't believe that I even acted like that for 1 minute. I guess you don't know how good you have it until it is gone! Even if it is only for a week. I must admit that I have had a very relaxing couple of days, and have been able to do whatever I wanted, but thats just not what I signed up for. I miss taking care of my husband, and making him dinner and just being with him. And I absolutely miss my little girl. I can not wait until Thursday when I get to hold both of them in my arms again!

The time has come!

Lock up your homes boys and girls! You guessed it, Peyton is walking! It really started aroung her 11 month birthday, which is a little late in our books, seeing as we have thought "anyday now" for the last 2 months! Oh well! Now the fun begins! She also got her third tooth today. (#D for you dental enthusiasts!) It finally broke through! Though now she is going to look like a vampire seeing as her laterals are coming in before her centrals! Here is a video of her walking and of her fat little naked belly! I love when she is naked. This is right before her bath, so we could do it. Usually it is way too cold for her to be naked for long periods of time!

A little late!

Here are some of her Valentine Pictures that we had taken this year. I just can't believe how big she is getting~
