A post from my phone

This is more to see if I can post onto my blog from my phone.
Most days Payton rides his bike to school, then when school is out Scarlett rides her bike and I push mckinley in a stroller. A lot of times on our way back home after getting Payton the kids like to stop and look in the gopher holes. They of course fill the holes with dirt! It usually takes us a while to get home from school because the kids like to stop so much.

Where oh where....

Where or where has these last 5 years gone?!
I can not believe Payton is 5 years old today!!!!
 Payton has grown leaps and bounds over the last 5 years. He is now the oldest brother of 2 little sisters that he just loves so much. He is in kindergarten and  learning new things all the time. He is very sweet and can be sensitive at times. He is very caring and loving. He has lots of friends, but doesn't like to talk about the girls at school. He loves Legos, Star Wars, GI Joes, Transformers, and Power Rangers. He is all boy meaning he is rough and tough. He usually isn't an instigator but is a good follower. This is not the best quality, but he knows right from wrong. He isn't the best at trying new foods. He still loves sour cream and tortilla chips, pancakes, top roman, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He has his own style when it comes to picking out his clothes. He loves watching Transformers on netflix. He loves getting all dressed up for church. Many weeks he wears his suit with his bow tie. He is stubborn at times and can definitely test his limits, but we love him and wouldn't change anything. 
Happy Birthday Payton!
We love you tons and are very glad you are a member of our family. You are an amazing son and older brother. We are very blessed!!!

My dad's cousin Anne was so sweet to drive my grandma out to my house to visit us. She hadn't met Mckinley at this point. This was her first time seeing her. My grandma just turned 94 a week ago. I am just so glad that she and my other grandma are both around. My kids have lots of pictures of their great grandma's. To me thats very special for them!

My kids are very spoiled by her. They each got a gift!

 While Mal's parents were here for the weekend we had a little celebration for Payton's 5th Birthday since they would be on a cruise during his real birthday.
 He loves the special attention!
He got to go shopping with Grandma and Grandpa and pick out a new bike! They bought him that for his birthday and also another gift. He loved it all. He officially rides his big bike all the time and is getting better and better at it each time. He rides his bike to school every day and locks it up. He is getting so big!
The weekend was amazing and we enjoyed having family in town.
