Daddys Birthday

Daddy and Payten. I think she thought it was her birthday. She had to blow out the candle.

No. She is not eating this cupcake, she is frosting it!

Can you tell which ones she frosted??

How did her face get so dirty when she was JUST frosting the cupcakes?!

AHHHHHH!! That is why. She had to lick the knife clean every time before she could get more frosting!! Makes since to me!! Needless to say we did not have anyone over to eat cupcakes with us, just a nice quiet evening with our little family!! The rest of the cupcakes got thrown away. I figured not one would want licked on cupcakes:) But she sure had TONS OF FUN!!

Halloween 2010

Payten had so much fun this Halloween. She was very excited to be a Nice and pretty witch!! We did trunk or treating at the church Saturday night and she had a BLAST(and Uncle Brett stopeed by)!! Then on Halloween she got to hand out candy. She was SOOOOO excited to answer the door and see everyone. She got so excited about every ones costumes, it was so cute! It is fun that she is growing up and excited about all of the holidays. I remember not too long ago when Holidays were no fun! Glad i have my little angel to make things WONDERFUL!!!

My Beautiful Girl

Its been a while since I posted pics. Thought I would post some recent pics just before Halloween. I bought 3 barrel curling iron for her hair. She loves it when I use it. I think she is stink'n CUTE!!

Hawaii

Here is our Hawaii Trip. Things might be out of order but I will just say what the pics are.

Here is the condo we stayed at on Turtle Bay(north shore Oahu)

Here are the 4 of us. Me, Linus, Dawniel and Jon. We had so much fun with them!

We stopped by the temple on the way to the condo when we first got there. It was BEAUTIFUL! Linus picked the yellow flower and put it in my hair and then we took a picture of me to send to Payten! I was already missing her and we had just got there!!!

PCC (Polynesian cultural center)

Dinner at the PCC

This the first beach we came to on our way to our condo.

Here is one of the turtles we saw scuba diving. They were awesome!

Another turtle.

Another one. I like his shell. Looks pretty!

Linus by the turtle when scuba diving

More turtles

Linus and Jon at Sandy Beach. The water was sooooo sandy because it was so tough, hence the name. They were covered in sand just from the water! Dawniel and I did not even think of going in!!

We thought this was a pretty look out!

Me and my love scuba diving, GREAT fun!!

Two of our dives we went through a bunch of tunnels, it was pretty cool

More tunnels.

This video is cool. Kind of looks like the turtle is small, but it is HUGE!!!

3rd BIRTHDAY PARTY!

These pics are out of order, Oh well!! It pored on her birthday so they all decided to go running in the rain screaming and laughing!!

Mom(Mimi), Abby and Payten

Payten's 3rd birthday party. She had so much fun!!

This is right before we sang Happy Birthday and she was looking at the 30ish people looking at her!!

Mariah and Mackenzie.

Summer and Raegan.

She was a little overwhelmed. I think she had yelled at Cash and Tacey right before this. Looks like they were keeping their distance!!

3 Years Big

Payten wanted to be a birthday princess all day! Mommy said YES!! Daddy and I woke her up and put her crown on her head while singing happy birthday. I even let her wear this fairy outfit out ALL DAY!(last years Halloween costume) She beamed from ear to ear all day! She loved all the attention!

Yummy Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! Free dozen on your b-day!

After we had our goodies with dad we all went to her doctors appointment. Poor little girl got her first shots EVER!! I don't have any pictures but she TOTALLY didn't know what was coming. She cried for just a few seconds, I think her feelings were hurt more that anything! I love my little girl more than ever!! These past 3 years have gone by much too quickly. I hope they slow down so I can enjoy her more!!

My little fish

This is her face every time she goes underwater or swims. She just smiles with her mouth wide open! She LOVES to swim.

Payten getting her fish.

Mommy and Payten under water

Payten in action swimming to mommy:)

Here is Payten swimming. She has only had 2 swimming lessons. Today they worked on her "ice cream scoop arms" with BOTH hands not just one. She is doing so well!! She actually did both arms. I love that when she swims she will say "I am a fish!"

4th of July

We went to Payson on 4th of July Sunday for church and then to Linus' parents. We had a bbq, homemade ice cream and watched the fireworks from the back patio. MUCH nice than being in the hot valley fighting crowds!!

Payten and Tacey. I think this is such a cute picture.

Payten and Uncle Nate

I love my little girl!!
