I love Projects!

I LOVE doing projects! I know many people don't agree with me on this, but I just feel so much more accomplished when I do all these things. I am always thinking of new things to do. Recently Josh made a bookshelf for a small area between a closet and the stairs. I of course wanted to paint before he built the bookshelf. I actually painted when both kids were awake. Payton was a good little helper. I had to give him a few rules of course, but nothing to terrible occurred. The project got finished and I am very happy with it. 
I forgot to take a picture before I painted, but this is once it was painted.

Payton loves taking pictures with the camera! He obviously wanted a picture of himself.
Half the bookshelf  put in
Getting it all built in
Josh working hard and doing an amazing job like always
Payton being silly of course. 
It's in...
 And completely filled
I painted all the cream color, yellow and brown. I really like it, but it makes me want to do more. I am just not ready to take that challenge on yet.

A visit from Grandpa

Last weekend we had a special visit from my dad. He was in town for business and after he was done he came and stayed with us for 2 days. After we picked him up we stopped in and surprised my grandma. My dad wanted to take her out for her birthday. She is 92!
Scarlett was in charge of the handicap sign. This was our ticket to front row parking at the restaurant.
Scarlett with her Great Grandma Cambra
Great Grandma getting her to laugh
Payt was being a little stinker and wouldn't let me get a picture of him with great grandma
Instead he just stole her cane and played with it in the yard. 
These are pictures that Payton took. It's kind of funny to see what he sees. Grandpa is really tall!
Obviously my grandma and I are not as tall as my dad.
Scarlett, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Me, and Payton
After spending lots of time with Great Grandma we headed home and Payton got to open some presents. This one is from my good friend since she wasn't going to be able to make it to the party. 
He loved it. He got a tee-ball set and some GI Joes.
Next were his presents from Grandma and Grandpa Cambra. He got a soccer ball AND....
Waiting for the main present from his grandparents...
Unveiling...
WHAT IS IT!!!...
A BUZZ LIGHTYEAR BIKE!!! He has been wanting this since he saw it in the store 2 months ago!
The next day we got to play and just enjoy having grandpa at our house.  Payton and Grandma played their own game of 'lets throw all the cards at each other'. Payton loved it!!!
It's always fun when grandpa comes!!!

My two cute kids!

Once again I just have random pictures of my kids being cute and silly! They are both just growing so much and changing too fast!
Scarlett on September 22nd.
Payton on September 30th
Scarlett on September 30th. She was 1 day short of 7 months here. I am just surprised at how active she is. She is all about moving. I can't believe she started pulling herself up at 7 months.
This was one night she just passed out on the ground. She's a QT!
She really loves climbing on Payt's chair.
This is her basket of toys that she dumbs out continually!
My cute kids!!!! I am a very proud and lucky mom!
At 7 months and 1 week this little girl found the stairs. She can't climb up them yet! (few!)
Coming to get mommy!
She got me!
She and Payton have times when they actually play with each other. They just make me smile.
Here he was able to get her to crawl through his legs or shall I say he stood over her.

Here he is trying to get her to chase him
She loves playing with the fireplace so we had to put zip ties on so she would stop
Anyone who knows my son....KNOWS he LOVES sour cream and chips. He would eat these every day all day if he could. This particular time he was making a huge mess with the sour cream.
