Mother's Day

My happy little girl after an evening with Mom and Dad at Famous Daves and a trip to Bass Pro Shop. She LOVES that store. All of the fun animals:). I love her smile in this picture!

My mother day gifts. (Theses pictures are all in reverse)

Payten smelling my flowers after she tried to bring them to me. Notice There are now 2 flowers instead of 3!! So daddy spread them on the floor to be pretty.

Here she is after she got them taken away before she spilled all of the water

Here is my wonderful little girl bringing me my flowers she picked out all by herself! (Notice 3 flowers)I am so lucky to have such a sweet and wonderful little girl. She brings me so much joy even though she has screaming fits quite a few times a day:) I love her with all of my heart and could not have wished for anything better! I am truly the most blessed mom ever!

13 Years!

Last Saturday(the actual day was monday the 4th) we celebrated our 13th Anniversary by going on a HOT DATE to Ruth's Chris Steak House. We had a very nice time. I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful husband and father. He is absolutely wonderful and I definitely do not deserve him! It was nice and quiet and not hurried. Nate and Bethany watched Payten for us. They took her to a buffalo wing place and watched the game. Lets just say that I think Payten may have had more fun than we did!! When we got home just after they did and we said lets get in your pajamas and she ran to Nate for protection!! Needless to say she realized that other people may be more fun than boring old mom and dad:)

1st Water day of the year!

Last Thursday Carson invited Payten over to go swimming in their new pool. You can tell by her face that she loved it! She was a little reluctant at first and stood in the same spot for about 10 minutes smiling and laughing and then ventured out and played! Hopefully we will have many more water days in this horrible heat!

Date with Daddy

Last enrichment night i got home about 9pm and Linus and Payten were not home. Turned out he decided to take her to Oregano's for a pazookie! She had so much fun with her daddy! You can just tell by the big smile on her face! Oh, I love that she is standing up so she can get at the pazookie better. She is no dummy and she LOVES to eat!
