Easter Egg Hunt's

The past week has been filled with a lot of Easter fun! On Saturday our neighborhood had an Easter Egg Hunt, Peyton's FIRST one EVER!! And we were so blessed to have my parents in town to join in on the fun. Peyton was a little timid about the whole thing. She picked up one egg and said "All done"... and her competitive Mommy said "no, we've got to get some more!!" (as I saw all the other kids racing at the eggs). So Peyton picked up two more and by the time we put the third one in the basket, the eggs were gone. ALL OF THEM! Those kids are FAST!

Then on Wednesday, one of our friend's mother was putting on an Easter Egg Hunt at their church. So we went. This time Peyton was totally into it! She was grabbing things left and right. She filled up her entire Easter basket.  Her basket was so full she could hardly carry it and when the candy kept dropping out poor thing started crying because she was loosing some. It was really cute. But we have SO MUCH CANDY now!


And on another note...I wanted to show off the BEAUTIFUL Easter Basket my mom made last year for Peyton. My brother and I had ones just like it growing up (just different colors).  I love it! It is even lined with pretty pink gingham fabric on the inside!  It is truly too nice for Peyton to use for her Easter Egg Hunt's, so we had a "fill-in" basket for those!

Hope you have a greaaaaaaaaaaat Easter!

Baby!

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...

Not Much Has Changed!

So today was sooooooooo pretty out that we decided to play outside for a couple of hours. And since I knew I hadn't taken any pictures recently...I brought my camera. Low and behold...when I sat down to review the pictures from today...I was having deja vu! I came to the realization that not much has changed!! The first pictures were of Peyton when she was 12 months old...Making a mess, playing in the dirt, and loving the water faucet. And the other pictures are from today at 20 months...Making a mess, playing in the dirt, and wanting to play in the water! Enjoy!! 

SNOW!!

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!

Christmas..."Better late than never"

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!!

P with Daddy's Tickle Monster Gloves on...They have holes for the fingers for better tickling and so you can turn the pages in the book!! soooooooo smart!!

P's tent with tunnel!

Daddy surprised P with her very own Pink Piano!!

I had no clue he had purchased it for her...So it was a surprise to me too!

She was very excited!

Paul's Dad brought P this amazing bike that used to be Paul's Grandfathers when he was little...we have a picture of him on it when he was around 1year old...so it is very neat to see P on it. It is VERY OLD! but still works great!

She really loves it...She rides it every day! It is completly made out of wood! Very very neat and special!

P was trying on my Chrismas gift from Paul...a beautiful necklace!

She loved it!

Pey got new PJ's from Mrs. Walden!!

So darn cute!

She looooooooooves this Little People Barn!

And she got this wonderful rocking horse...it is soooooooo cute!!

P rockin!!:)
