It's Been a While!

I have had every intention of posting about our Halloween trip, but just have not gotten around to it. My parents, sister and family, and the four of us went to San Antonio to visit Shamu. We had a great time. The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast. Here are some pics.

Peyton's Birthday Weekend

Wow what a weekend. We started the festivities on Friday and they are finally ending today. He is going to start thinking that we should celebrate his birthday for 5 days every year!

Saturday morning was his pirate party with his friends. We had it at a train park. It was a lot of fun. The weather was amazing. It was in the upper 50's, low 60's. Last year at his party is was 90 degrees. The kids ran around and played baseball, football, and rode the train. Peyton has a special group of friends.

Sunday after church we had our family party. We had his favorite meal, roast! He got to open more presents too. He kept telling us that we get to sing happy birthday to him AGAIN! He had a lot of fun.

Monday was his actual birthday and his daddy took the day off. We played with all of his new toys, went to his favorite place to eat/play (chick-fil-A), and played t-ball outside. We had a great day just the 4 of us.

Today, we took donuts and juice to his school to celebrate his birthday. I told the teacher that he has been celebrating since last friday. He was excited to share his donuts with all his school friends.

I can't believe that my first born is "3". It goes by so fast. I keep thinking, oh my, he starts kindergarten in 3 years! He is a sweet little boy, and we love him so very much. For the last time - HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEYTON!!!!

Here are some pictures of Peyton's special weekend!!

We Are Back!!!

Wow, it has been over a month since I posted last. Sorry!!! It has been a crazy month. Let's see, the first of September we put our house on the market. This keeps me busy in the house cleaning department. We have had a few lookers and a good open house. We are still waiting patiently for the right family to walk in our house and fall in love with it.

Between Dwayne's job, my new business, and the boys we have been very very busy. My new private practice is going well. I love it!!

Peyton started preschool the first of September. He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays. He tells me, "Mommy I love to go to school".

Brady is growing and getting a great personality. The boys are starting to play really well together.

October so far has been busy. We have birthday parties, garage sale, and we are going to Seaworld for Halloween weekend. Peyton's birthday party is the 17th. It is at a park that has a miniature train to ride. He is having a pirate theme. He is very excited!! I will post pics after the birthday weekend.

Here are some pictures from the last month.

I just took Brady to the Dr. for a check up. He is now 21.9lbs and 30 inches tall. He is a big boy. He is now walking everywhere!! He got 5 shots and a finger prick today and he was not a happy camper.
Here are some pictures of him after his appointment and some of his one year old pics.

Brady's First Birthday

This last weekend we celebrated Brady's 1st birthday. We had a great time. His Grandma from Oregon came for a visit to celebrate as well. For his birthday we went to my parents house to swim and have pizza. Brady of course had no idea what was going on, but it was fun. Peyton and Addy were both real excited for presents and cake.

Here are some pictures of my baby boy who is now "1"!!!

Peyton Playing Baseball

Addy Running the Bases

It is August Already!!!

Where has the summer gone?? I can't believe that it is August. We have had a busy summer. I am currently starting up my own private practice for speech therapy in my home. It has been fun and challenging at the same time. It is called Footsteps Speech Therapy. Please keep me,and my patience in your prayers. Dwayne has been really busy at work also.

Over the last few months, Peyton has been really obsessed with baseball. He wants to play all the time, and he wants to go to Astro's games all the time. I have attached some pictures and a few videos of him playing outside with his cousin Addy. After they played baseball we took them to the splash pad to cool off! We are enrolling Peyton in t-ball in September. We can't wait!!!

Brady well, he turns "1" next week. This is a difficult subject for me. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I am not ready for my baby to grow up!! He is almost walking by himself, but not quite. Anyway, I will post pics from his 1st B-day next week.

Vacation in Oklahoma

On July 2nd we packed up for our 10 hour rode trip to Oklahoma. My parents and my sister's family all went too. We stayed for a full week. It was nice to get away. We rented a house on the lake. The house was perfect and the kids loved going down to the rock beach and throwing rocks in the lake.

Friday, July 3rd, my cousin Britt had a beautiful sunset wedding. It was good to see lots of family. Saturday, July 4th, it actually rained all morning. We had forgotten what rain looked like ( we have gone over a month with no rain in Houston). That night we went to our Aunt Shari's and Uncle Daves house and had dinner and watched fireworks.

The rest of the week was spent resting and riding on the boats. We rode on our Uncle Brian's and Aunt Carol's boat a couple of days. We rented jet skies, which the kids loved to ride them. They both kept saying faster, faster. Peyton and Daddy even rode on the tube. Peyton did it, but he did not really care for it.

One night we drove to Bartlesville, OK (where I graduated from high school) and went to the kiddie park. It has rides just Peyton's size. He had a blast. He rode a roller coaster 3x, farris wheel, boats, train, horse, and more. He or course threw a fit when we left. It was only 25 cents a ticket and most of the rides were only 1-2 tickets. We wich they had something like that in Houston.

We had a really great time with our family. We were not ready to come home. Peyton cried most of the way home, "I want to go back to Oklahoma".

Here are some pictures of our week!
