Wedding Cake!!

For all of you who did not go to Monica's wedding, shame on you!!!! This was her wedding cake. There is a story behind it. This is how it goes..... She didn't order cake in enough time to get one made, so Melissa told her that her and I would do it for her. I was a little shocked at first, but then I was excited. That was a long week for me. First I did a practice cake to make sure it didn't turn out to horrible and here was the final cake. I had fun doing it, but it was time consuming while trying to take care of 3 kids at the same time, I had a late night. Thank you Monica for letting me do it, Melissa did help too. It tasted great!!!

Ethan rock climbing!!

Ethan went to Dalton's birthday and they got to go rock wall climbing and roller skating. The first time he got about half way up and wanted to come down. The second time he went to the difficult side ( I don't have a pic) and made it almost to the top, but they were spaced out to far for him to reach. The third and last time he went back to the other wall and made it all the way to the top. He was so proud of himself and so was I.

Ethan's Birthday!!!

I am not quite sure what happened to the pictures from his party. I think my sister still has them on her camera. We had a party for him at my sister's house. We ate pizza, hit the pinata, ate cake, and played. I had forgotten my camera. He insisted on everyone giving him money for his birthday. There was a dirt bike he really wanted and I had been telling him to save up his money and he could buy it. Lucky for him his birthday was not very far away. He bought his dirt bike 2 days later. He absolutely loves it!!!! I can not believe he is already 6 and in school!!!!

Painting!!!!

This was Peyton's first time at painting. Not much paint got on the paper, just mostly on him. I made sure that it was non-toxic paint because I knew that he would eat it. He had it from head to toe and loved every minute of it!!! That of course means I did too!! It was fun to watch him experience something new. He painted a train, a majority of it is still white. He only wanted to paint in the same place. When I would turn it around or over, he would put it back right side up. This I believe is my last post for January that I missed, now on to Feb.....

More Disney World Pictures!!!

Peyton's 1st birthday!!!!

Peyton had a very eventful 1st birthday. We were in Disney World on January 4th!!!! He was lucky. That morning we got up and ate breakfast with the characters. He was not very fond of the characters coming around him. As you can see he also had a cupcake. We also had a birthday party for him that afternoon before we went back to have more fun. He was so tired by the time we left the next day.

Disney World

I am just now posting pics from our trip after christmas. I have alot of catching up to do. For christmas mom and Mike gave everyone a trip to Disney World. There was 18 of us. That is what you call a full house. Needless to say we had rented a 6 bedroom house and it was full, but worked out well. We stayed from Dec. 29th through Jan. 5th. I needed a vacation when we returned. Advice for everyone, it is much easier to not bring the kids when they are young (Peyton's age). It is alot for them.

Trick or Treat

Today was Halloween and we went trick or treating. The kids had fun. We went in The Willows this year. A friend of mine Melissa talked me in to going with her this year. My sister also went with us, but you will not see any pictures of Kaylee. She would not take any pictures. They did good up to we were half way done. On the walk back they insisted on not stopping and getting any more candy, I was pretty shocked! We got plenty of candy though. They should sleep very well tonight considering all the walking they did.

Stuart's Birthday

We had a little get together with family members for Stuart's birthday this year. In the picture is his older brother Chris,Stuart,his father Stuart, Bailey, his stepmom Linda,Bailey, me, Peyton, and Ethan. We ate lunch and watched a bunch of football. It was a beautiful day outside, so the kids got to play outside all day. Ethan insisted on wearing his new LSU football uniform all day. By the end of the day he looked like he had been playing football all day. He didn't last long with the shoulder pads or the helmet. Stuart enjoyed his weekend and that is what I was hoping for.

Horseback Riding

Today was there first time to ride a horse. Well I actually think they were pony's. They enjoyed it very much. Ethan had the smallest one of all. His pony's name was Snowball. Snowball did not want to do what he was suppose to. He had his own agenda. Ethan would say momma he is doing it again, which means Snowball was not following the other horses any more. Bailey's would also do it, but not as much as Ethan's.

They were tired by cake time. Ethan now wants a horse. I got the puckered up lip and all. There is no way he is getting a horse. Now as you can see we couldn't forget about sweet Peyton. He was not sure what to think, but he surely liked it when I set him on the pony. He is too small to actually ride, but he is catching up quick.

Haircut

As you can see Bailey got a haircut!!! She has been begging me to let her get alot of hair cut off. She actually wanted it shorter then that, but that was not taking place. After school I tould her we could get it cut. She sat in the chair all patient as I cut away. I believe I cut off about 6 inches. It was suppose to be only about 4 inches, but it happens. She was very excited about her hair being short, as you can tell by her big smile. She looks older now. I can't believe she is already 7 . How time fly's.

Ethan

Ethan is now playing basketball, it is called Biddie Ball. It is very entertaining to watch them play. Ethan's team right now is doing well. They have only lost 2 of 6 games. There are only 2 games left. In this picture he is shooting for the basket. He is a little short of the goal. It always seems to bounce off the rim when he gets it up there. Next year he should be able to score since he will be taller and have more practice. He enjoys playing. He runs up and down the court with his tounge sticking out after the 2nd period. Needless to say he sleeps well after a game.

Peyton Clapping & Walking

As you can see I got my camera back. Peyton started clapping yesterday and I was so excited I could get it on video. They grow up so quickly and I am happy to share these wonderful moments with all of you.

He now has this new toy that he is enjoying. It will only play the music when it is moving. He loves to walk behind it. His legs only last so long before they give out, they didn't last to long this time as you can see. It is getting nap time and he is very tired.

7 1/2 months

Here is one of the pictures that was recently taken of Peyton. We missed our 6 months pictures since we were busy being sick. He is growing so fast. He says momma, dada, and sometimes he will say bye bye. Adorable!!!! I will do my best to keep adding post, but since I lost my camera it will be a little harder until I get a new one.

Our Family

This is our family. Stuart, Sonya, Bailey, Ethan, & the newest addition is Peyton. This was the weekend we went to the Beau Rivage in Biloxi this summer. The kids enjoyed it.
