A beautiful Day!!!

Today was a big day in our family! Scarlett was blessed. Josh did such a wonderful job on the blessing. It was very sweet. I wish I could say she is already a daddy's girl, BUT she is actually far from that. She doesn't really like him at nights. She definitely prefers me. We had family here and that is always the best. My parents and brother were able to make a REAL QUICK trip out. We also had two of my uncles, an aunt of mine, a cousin, another cousin with his boys, Josh's parents, two of his younger sisters, a brother and his kids, and his oldest sister and her family. It was a very nice day. We are so glad so many were able to come and missed all those that couldn't make it. We love our families!!! 

Scarlett's dress was amazing!!! Josh's mom made it and it turned out perfectly. I knew it would though. Thanks Mom! Her red flower and ribbon made it look cute. She is such a BEAUTIFUL girl!
Our cute little baby girl!

We are two very proud parents of our little girly!

Fun in the Sun

Last Saturday was a beautiful day here. My good friend and I took the kids to the water park by my house. We had such a nice time talking while the kids played in the water. Payton was a little hesitant at first but eventually was playing and run through the water. The kids got to have a little picnic. It was such a nice day. I definitely got a little sun but not too bad. Once the kids were done in the water they wanted to go play at the park. We changed their clothes and let them. The funny thing is they came back over by the water and of course we told them not to get their clothes wet, but do you think they listened? NOPE! Payton ended up with all his clothes soaking wet. At least he didn't complain that he wanted to change into dry clothes.

A random picture I know, but I wanted to post a picture of Payton being so sweet and feeding his little sister.

The kid- O's

My two little angels are the best, but are definitely not the easiest at times. I love them to death and my life would not be complete without them. I watch them both grow and change every day. 

Payton is getting big all the time. 
HE IS OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED!!!! (YAHOO!!!)
For me I feel like such a successful parent. I can't believe we were able to do it. Not having to buy two different size diapers is the best. We were blessed and never had too. Thank goodness!! He also eats LIKE A CHAMP these days. He used to be very picky at times, but something changed inside him. He will try just about everything I make for dinner. He definitely keeps us on our toes everyday. We don't completely trust him with his sister yet. He just wants her to be big so she can wrestle and play with him. He totally has his very sweet and cute moments with her. He is learning his colors and getting so good. He talks like such a big kid. Last night we were on Skype with my sister and I left the room for a moment. I walk back in and Stef tells me this whole conversation the two of them had while I was gone. I just watch him at times and can't believe how big he has gotten. Life would totally be boring without him! 

Scarlett of course is growing and changing all the time. She is almost 12 pounds. She wears her 3 month clothes and I have all the newborn clothes put away. She can drink out of a bottle like a champ, but doesn't get them very much because I do not enjoy pumping. She is 7.5 weeks old. She can smile sometimes, but not all the time. Her baby acne is almost gone. That makes me happy. She sleeps pretty good most the time. She tolerates her brothers roughness. A lot of people say she looks like her brother, I personally don't completely see it just yet. She has beautiful blue/gray eyes. She is definitely our little baby, and we are enjoying her so much.

Asleep on daddy. She's so cute!

Payton ALWAYS wants Scarlett to lay with him in his sleeping bag.

He's such a nerd. Someone needs to tell him tile is NOT comfortable

Both kids asleep at the same day. A dream come true!

More sleeping bag fun

He insisted she play in his tent with him.  She's a good little trooper!

There first bath together. 

After church, just hanging out together

Payton loves to hold Scarlett

Isn't she SO cute?

Payton ALWAYS has to lay with Scarlett when we  get this toy out. He thought it would be fun to make a fort out of it also. She puts up with a lot!

Of course, MORE sleeping bag fun!

WE JUST LOVE THESE TWO KIDS SO MUCH!!!
