Happy Halloween!

In case you were wondering, Buzz likes to eat raw

corn-on-the-cob for breakfast.

Big Preschool Boy!

Peyton had his first day of preschool on Tuesday. He is so excited to be part of the big kid world. He marched right in and sat down where he was suppose to. On Thursday when his second day of school rolled around he was excited to go again. Hopefully the excitement doesn't fade!

Happy Birthday Peyton and Grandma!

The Birthday kids.

Peyton got a Fire Breathing Dragon, Diego in a Dune Buggy and a Diego Wii game.

Grandma loved her new jewelry that Chris picked out and it made her cry when she opened it. Peyton loved the green squishy ball from Grandma and Grandpa.

Peyton thought it was great that we all sang to him and Grandma!

I am so grateful to have this cute sweet little boy in our family! He is so fun and happy!

Happy Birthday to both of you!

No more diapers till September!

This exciting news comes almost 2 months late:

I have not changed a single diaper since the middle of May!

He even stays dry ALL night! This is the first time in almost 9 years that we have not had a child (or two) in diapers. It's a strange, but welcomed feeling!

But to be honest, I can't wait until I get to start changing diapers again. I even started buying newborn diapers for this next little guy.

Hooray for Peyton!!!

Swim Lessons- last day

Ellie and Peyton have been taking swim lessons from Mrs. Amy for the past 3 weeks. Today was the last day so I thought I better be sure to take my camera. I took tons of cute pictures of Peyton and then BAM! My camera battery dies! Isn't that just always the case?! I'm so sad I didn't get him floating with the noodle and going down the slide. Not to mention how I didn't get ANY of Ellie swimming! So SAD!

Peyton was so happy and smiley the whole time at swim lessons! All the moms commented on how cute and happy he always is. He is growing way too fast! I think I would have been a little emotional seeing how big and capable he is if he was our last. I'm so glad he will get to be a big brother!

This is the only picture I got of Ellie. She didn't want me to take a picture of her pretty face. Again, still so mad and sad that I didn't get any of her swimming! She is quite the little fish and I am so proud of how well she swims!

When we got home I put our fully charged back-up battery in our camera and took a picture of them together, all while wishing so badly that I had the back-up battery with me while they swam.

Lesson learned.

Father & Sons Campout- May 9th & 10th

Chris said they had a great time, minus Peyton peeing in his pants several times. So he made an executive decision to pick up the potty training again when they got home.

Smart move.

Home Sweet Home..for the night anyway.

Can't come home without a war wound.

So much fun when there are lots and lots of friends to hang out with!

Tuesdays and Fridays.

Every Tuesday and Friday Peyton waits patiently at the kitchen window for the garbage man.

Tuesdays are extra special because he comes twice, once for recycle and once for yard clippings.

And if we are really lucky, on Fridays we will see garbage fall on our sidewalk.

Never a dull moment.

The other night, Ben, Kim and their girls came over for dinner.

After we were all stuffed the guys sat down and watched a movie and Kim and I took Courtney and Peyton with us for a diaper run at Costco.

On our way there Peyton decided that the shiny door handle in Kim's car (ours are hidden and black) was calling his name and pulled it right as we were making a left hand turn!

The door flew open and the dome light went on and we felt a breeze all before we figured out what just happened. It scared the crap out of us.

It scared Peyton a little too, because he was an angel the whole rest of the way there.

When we got home Courtney laid on the ground and recieved a wipey bath from Peyton.

She actually enjoyed it for awhile before she decided enough was enough and started screaming at him.

It was funny.

He's at it again.

This kid is relentless!

I walked in the kitchen and he said, "a eggy, I hungry."

(appearently the waffle 20 min. before wasn't enough)

On the other hand, he is so stinkin' cute and funny

(and a little annoying).

I was too lazy to go to Costco to get more diapers, so I just got Luvs at Walmart

and he is so excited about his new diapers.

The annoying part was when he took every single diaper out of the box and flung them all over the house.

You may be wondering where I am during all his naughtiness,

but I have to tell you all it takes is for me to walk out of the room for just a minute or two and he's off to destroy!

I think he secretly just watches me and knows exactly when it's safe to act. All I can say is he better grow out of this soon!

Yay! a new post!

After nearly 2 weeks I'm back, but I don't know how often. I've been feeling pretty yucky, but not throwing up a lot, so I'm happy about that.

We all got the flu and it took 10 days to go through all of us and man did it suck!

We are all better and thankfully I have my most nauseous moments in the evenings.

It's a good thing I feel somewhat decent during the day since Peyton enjoys taking advantage of my back being turned.

(this popcorn mess happened today. I just haven't taken all my Christmas decorations off my mantel. Pathetic, I know.)

I need the energy and well being to keep up with his messes.

(at least he got the broom and tried to clean it up)

Chris found this trike at Good Will for $4.

He's been riding it ever since. He's a pretty good cruiser.

The tights and ballet shoes were from Ellie's lack of speed to get dressed for dance so he saw an opportunity and took it.

She wasn't happy when she saw what he was wearing. Chris wasn't either, but too sick to care all that much.

(definately going in his wedding video)

I need a lock for my fridge.

Usually this sort of stuff happens while I'm blogging,

but this time I was on the "pot" and Preston comes running in

and freaking out that Peyton is getting into the fridge and made a

huge mess...not the way I like to end any kind of session.

Poor sick baby.

I hate it when my kids are sick.

No fun at all.

Unless of course they are cuddly and not flailing.

As long as it has wheels...

It must be a toy.

I love how he neatly stacked the 3 items that were in it before he took it out.

And how he must fix the broken wheel before he

pushes it through the house.

I really really love this little boy!

Going Completely Insane!

I am seriously going to cry...not even kidding.

I had hoped this day would never come and I actually thought there was a pretty good chance

since my other 3 children never learned how to do this.

Tonight my glimmer of hope has been completely shattered!

Oh, no. This can't be happening.

I'm getting nauseous...

I think I might throw up.


Then I collapsed to the floor in despair!

Seriously, you have no idea how much harder this is going to make my day to day life.
Well, maybe some of you do.
If this means he's done with naps then I need to make an appointment to get some meds for myself!


(please try to ignore the mess in the room, when I go to the gym things get neglected. I'm still trying to figure out how you other moms do it all)
