Santa 2009


Payten was so excited to see Santa. But when it got to be her turn she was a little reluctant. Hence the very serious look on her face. Luckily Gabby was with me and put her on his lap so I could take some pictures. She did not want to look at him but she did say "Ask Santa Bike"!! We practiced that one. I still don't think she understands the whole Santa thing but she loves it all the same!
On a side note people today seemed to not be or want to control their kids. There were these 2 boys in line that kept pushing Payten and trying to cut making her cry and get upset before Santa. This wasn't just once the moms just didn't care. Then right when the people in front of us were getting their pictures taken they were running into the pics. The moms just didn't care!
THEN in childrens place we were in line to check out and this 5 yr old kid saw Gabby get some fishy crackers out for Payten and ran up to her demanding some! The mom said yes ask for some!! SERIOUSLY! Then when I got to check out I turned the stroller away from them. Then Payten started crying because the same kid came up to her and was stealing the crackers from her in the high chair. The mom just DID NOT CARE!! Now I don't care about the crackers but am I the only one trying to teach my child manners! Kids do things I know but you have to teach them that what they did was WRONG! Thanks for letting me rant!

Payten and the Christmas Village saying "Payten no touch "BIWAGE"!
This is my favorite. She looks like she loves my Christmas village. This was always my favorite decoration for Christmas growing up, I am so glad I have it for Payten!

Jam session with Uncle Brett

On Thanks-Giving I found Payten jamming out with her Uncle Those are some of her favorite things! Later when the party got big her cousin Quade came in to jam out too!!

I love in the second video she stops dancing to concentrate on playing the piano and then decides to dance again. Then when it gets slower she gives a swing with her hips, what a crack up!!

Randoms pics I did not post


Payten loves Birthdays ever since her 2nd birthday. But on her daddy's birthday I kept telling her "it's daddy's birthday" and she would say "NO". I don't know why she was being a stinker. but as soon as we brought the cake out she said "Happy Birthday Daddy" with her eyes all lit up. I guess she just needed to see the ice cream cake!

Payten liked this outfit so much she got her "GASSES" and purse for it then pushed her stroller and said she was going to work! I wonder where she works?? Hmmmmm!


Payten playing at the play ground last week. She loves to play!


I came home from Bunko the other week and this is what I found. A WHOLE brand new bag of potatoes in her stoller. Apparently she kept bringing them in one by one to Linus and would say "potato???" and he would say "yes" like ya that's a potato. Apparently she was asking if she could have them!!

Soccer









We bought Payten a soccer ball at least a couple of months ago. She has loved it that whole time and has to sleep with it most times but she really did not KNOW what is was. Linus finally able to take her to the park and teach her to play soccer. She caught on really quick and understood she was not suppose to touch the ball with her hands. She would even kick it pretty hard, you can see her leg in some of the pictures. She really was trying hard to do what daddy said. She had a BLAST!! And daddy did too:)

Singing Sensation!

Linus bought this antenna so we could watch tv from our laptops. Well, little did we know that it is really a microphone. Payten just took it and started singing. Watch out Taylor Swift! She actually got even more into it after I stopped filming. She stood in front of the oven door so she could watch herself sing. And she even got LOUDER!! Oh and when she watches this video she says "Payten Pretty!" I wonder if she is mimicking how I sing. Lets hope I am not THAT bad!

HALLOWEEN 2009

My beautiful little Fairy.
Since her hair is so straight and baby fine I bought rag curlers. I think it turned out really cute:) I would definitely recommend them.

Such beautiful hair I had to show off the back of it.


I love my little fairy. She had such a fun time. We only went to 2 houses. She loved opening the screen door for everyone. If I helped her at all she screamed and closed it and re-opened it herself. She loved seeing all of the "scary monsters". I am glad she was happy handing out the candy instead of collecting it all!

Before we handed out candy we went to a friends house to have soup. It was yummy and Payten loved jumping on the trampoline with her friends. Aren't they so cute!

PUMPKINS

I love this girl! (Don't mind my pajama pants)


When we were in line to buy the pumpkin she saw this little scare crow so she went over and started talking to it! Then some other kids went over to see what was going on. Sooo cute:)

Doesn't she look so sweet and innocent??



Payten wanted to hold this one.


She thinks she is big holding this pumpkin. She kept trying to pick up huge ones and hold them!

My 2 loves!


Oh no, it is slipping!!

HELP ME!! She was starting to drop it and started crying. Yes, she is 2 and a little emotional!


This one??

I think this one is too big for me to pick up??


Payten loved going to pick out her pumpkin. She has been obsessed with pumpkins since she saw her first one about a month ago. Every where we go she says "mommy, Cool pumpkin".
However when we got home and Linus cut the top and pulled it off and all the guts and seeds were hanging she came screaming over to me "yucky, dirty pumpkin nooooo"! I wish I had had my video on but I did not expect it. It was super cute!!

Fun time in California

Dont ask why but Payten needed her diaper changed (#2) and he volunteered?? Needless to say he did not volunteer again!! It was quite funny to watch. He threw one of the poopy wipes at Abby to torment her!!
Payten helping Mimi blow out the candles on her birthday cake. She loves her Mimi!!

Payten is obsessed with "money", luckily pennys make her happy right now. So uncle Nate cleaned out his care and had over $40 in change. He let Payten keep ALL of the pennys. She kept dumping them out and playing with them. She gave him lots of kisses!

Payten loves her pretty skirts and her boots! She asks to wear them all the time. She even plays soccer with them on.

My beautiful little girl! I just love her so much!!

Ward Campout

This was the high light for Payten and a couple of other little ones. A hole that was filled with little rocks so they got to throw them all out of it! FUN! Oh and bishops daughter was so sweet to take Payten hand in hand with her up and down the ravine so she would not fall. She took good care of Payten.
Payten trying to walk down a steep hill and fell, of course I had to take a picture before I helped her up:) Oh this was before Rachelle helped her.

Daddy and Payten at the camp fire. How do you like her out of control hair?? I could not find her barrettes or hair ties!


My little girl on the drive home. She was exhausted from a fun day. But let me clear things up. We went Friday night and stayed for a couple of hours then went to Payson and ate at Chili's and stayed/slept at Linus' parents house and then returned Saturday morning for breakfast! My kind of camping!!

The Sandbox

My little angel in her new sandbox We are glad it is finally cool enough to play in it! Now we just need to have friends over:)

I just had to add this fabulous picture with the boogers running down her nose! Gotta love it!

Fashion Model





Nice huh?! We got Payten a new outfit for church, a cute new long jean skirt and these cute brown boots. After church she took a nap in just her onesie then she got up and I changed her diaper and left it unbuttoned. She just HAD to have her BOOTS on. She thought she was SUUUUPER cute in this outfit!! The last picture is on of her famous poses but even better with this outfit on. She likes to try to do the splits and hold it like that for a long time. I have tried it, it is much more difficult than it looks:)
