So yesterday Paul and I went and had our BIG ultrasound for Baby Reeves and baby is doing greaaaaaaaaaaaat! Sooooooooo sorry if I have missed telling anyone...I kinda forget who I have told and who I haven't...but we are almost 19 weeks along and due August 16th!! And we didn't find out what we are having, so baby is just called Baby!! So here is Baby...
This was Peyton's FIRST experience with snow!! And she LOVED it! We went out yesterday evening while it was snowing, and at first she was a little timid. But soon enough she warmed up to it and absolutely loved it. We went out for almost 2 hours this morning and even took a wagon ride around the neighborhood. Don't worry...she was properly dressed for our 2 hour outing in:
-2 pairs of pants
-1 thermal shirt
-1 fleece pullover
-1 pair of socks
-1 heavy jacket
- mittens
- hat
- shoes
- and don't forget the bow!!
I would not have thought she could move with all the layers...but she could...but not when she fell down:)
Here are some pictures of our outtings!
Sooooo my child LOVES RAVIOLI!! And since she is a BIG GIRL now she DEMANDS that she feed herself!
So here are just a couple of pictures from our adventures with Ravioli.
PS. if ANYONE knows how to get sauce out of clothes completely, please let me know!
I know I am a littttttttttttttttttttle behind...but I wanted to share a little bit of our Christmas...As my parents always say..."Better late than never."
We had a wonderful but very busy Christmas! And I believe Peyton now has more toys than Toys R' Us now! She received so many wonderful gifts!! We (or shall I say Peyton) decided to stagger Christmas a bit. She saw all of the gifts under the tree and started unwrapping them prior to Christmas...so we decided to let her open 1 gift a day. And in the process...she accidently opened one of Daddy's too...Which actually worked out to her advantage because it was a gift from Peyton to Daddy...It was "The Tickle Monster"! Which she loved! It is a cute book that comes with blue mittens. So Daddy turns into the Tickle Monster! But Peyton enjoyed wearing them too!( Pictures below)
Hope everyone had a great Christmas! More to come very soon!!
My have we had a busy, but very exciting, week!!
We kicked off last weekend with my parents coming in town!! It was my Daddy's Birthday and we had a blast!! We grilled out, had cake, and played with a NEW HELICOPTER...All the men in my family love flying objects...especially if they have a remote control! Which definitely includes a friendly competition where they have created some sort of obstacle in which they have to accomplish it without hitting objects, walls, etc, or getting caught in air currents, in addition to beating each others time. It is in fact, a site to see! They have used blimps in the past...large, slow, and hard to maneuver. This time, a helicopter. Which by the way is not fun to untangle from your hair if in fact someone looses control of the helicopter and it drops on your head while the numerous blades are still spinning...But this pilot will remain nameless because it was his birthday. :) (sorry, no pics of the helicopter)
In addition to my parents being in town, Peyton had a big Sunday! She was dedicated to the church. It was a fast, but a very meaningful event!! (pictures below)
And today, Mimi came in town!! Mimi is Peyton's favorite babysitter. She had watched Peyton at least once a week since Peyton was 8 weeks old until we moved to Athens. She truly has become part of our family and is like another grandmother to Peyton! We LOVE our Mimi!! Mimi also brought Peyton a couple Christmas presents!:) She received a wonderful talking tea set and teddy bear that sings "Jesus Loves Me," and from Mr. Bob (Mimi's husband) a CALCULATOR!! Peyton LOVES Mr. Bob!! She would go sit with Mr. Bob in his office an play on his calculator and make VERY LONG receipts. And so, from Mr. Bob..a Calculator!! :)
Here are pictures from our week!
More to come...Busy Bee's in December!!
What a wonderful word...Thanksgiving! We are very Thankful for MANY MANY things... We are truly Blessed!
We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. We started out with Pre-Thanksgiving at my parents house in Kennesaw. It was a wonderful time with friends and family and my mothers wonderful sweet potato casserole! As Peyton would say "Num Num"! It is truly my FAVORITE thing for Thanksgiving. Then for actual Thanksgiving we headed up to Cashiers, NC to spend Thanksgiving with Paul's Dad and Stepmom. We had a wonderful time just hanging out! Deborah made an AMAZING Thanksgiving meal and we all enjoyed it! Peyton however was a little squirrely so after a couple of bites, she went down for a nap. She was...let's say...having issues. Who knows what got into her. Could have been the car ride. Could have been that she was a little sickly but she was giving me a run for my money! We did however have a wonderful time and visit with them!! The only thing that I would have changed was our choice of car. We brought the Accord... which would have been a great choice at any other time of year, but this was the end of November. One thing that North Carolina offers, is great Christmas trees. Christmas tree farms where you can go and pick yours out, cut it down, and bring it home. I really wanted one but as we did the math...5ft roof...9ft tree = Miserable car ride home. However, we went to take a look anyway. We went to Tom Sawyer's Tree Farm, which Tom and his family were friends of George and Deborah. They had a wonderful Elf village for children where they could dress up as elves and wonder around to each little house and do little activities. We peeked in one and there was an Elf having story time. So Paul, George, Peyton and I joined story time. It was actually very fun! I felt a little big sitting inside a small house in child size chairs, but Peyton enjoyed it. :) We had a good time and learned a lesson for next time...Bring the 4-runner!
However, as luck would have it...on the way home, about 20 minutes outside of Athens, we saw signs for a tree farm. So on Saturday we piled in the 4-runner and followed the signs to 7 G's Farm. It is a wonderful tree farm that grows Leyland Cypress trees. It was great! It was a little overwhelming though with so many PERFECT trees to choose from. However, after about an hour we found our tree, had the man come chop it down, brought it home, and on Sunday decorated it. It is a little over 10ft...BIG...But perfect! See pictures below:)
