Friendly Days

Payten and Cody enjoyed the weekend. Big brother went on rides with the little sister and both enjoyed the parade.

I sat with Grandma for the parade.

My friend Danica and I.

My brother took me on the Merry-go-Round

Dad and Cody on the cars, this was Cody's favorite ride.

Don't for get the Kiddie Cars the kids got to ride on.

And last ride of the weekend was the Dizzy Dragon!

Daddy even won me a pig from a game.

Play Date/ Slumber party

Yes we had a late night play date which turned into a slumber party for a little bit. Danica came over last night after I got back from skating. The daddy's had to shoot trap last night.





Busy weekend ahead. I'm sure we will have some pictures by the end of the weekend so stay posted.

Hot Days = Cool Water

Today was the second day this week we went to the pool at Nana's and Papa's! The first day the water was still cold but today it was nice. We put little girl in the pool and she didn't like it. But with some time she started to warm up to the idea of the water.

Hannah and Payten, she didn't like it at all when she was put into her tube.

I like it much better when my big brother helps me and talks to me when we are in the pool.

Sweet Peas!!

Well the first night she didn't think so much of her peas but now she is a eating them like a pro. Next to try -- sweet potatoes! Pictures soon I promise.

Mommy's thumb sucker

Yes I believe we have a thumb sucker on our hands. It is so interesting to me how some children take a nuk and others don't. And that my children seem to pass that stage and go right for there hands. Cody sucked on his right pointer finger and Payten has found her thumb. Once we figured out what she was up too we got a picture of it.

Cookie Monster

We have a Cookie Monster in our house!

Daddy will let his little girl have anything she wants, when it comes to food. She is so funny when people are eating she has to be right up here with us or tasting it too. Today I'm going to make peas we'll see how she likes them!

5 months

WOW can you believe that Payten is 5 months old all ready!! Its crazy.

Busy Weekend!!!

Again another weekend flew by :( We had a Graduation Party we attended in Prior Lake (Congrats Spencer!) on Saturday. And on Sunday we dug out the boat from storage and started working on the battery and mom did a little cleaning inside it.

We then decided it was way to late in the day to head to Lake Tetonka and not knowing if the boat would be ready we went for a boat ride with Brent and Des on Lake Washington. Way cool boat. I know what your thinking Did Payten go? You bet she went. Did she like the ride with the life jacket? Not sure what she would say about the life jacket but she enjoyed her ride. I think the saddest part of her ride was that the life jacket was so big in the front that she couldn't get her fingers in her mouth. But over all she did a great job. Once we got home she was telling us her story you could ask her about the ride and she was all giggles. Sorry I was a bad mom and forgot the camera next boat ride I will for sure get lots of pictures to post.

BIG GAL FOOD

Little Gal Payten loves her cereal and we even tried Papa's mash potatoes.

I like Papa's potatoes!

I found some cute pictures of Cody and Payten playing together. If you have ever seen Cody's scrapbooks there are pictures of Aunt Laura doing a similar thing.

Making it soft for my little sister!

First Night of Baseball

Here are the highlights: Cody's team plays 6 innings or 2 hours. (yes 2 hours) The boys pitch even innings the coaches the odd. For the first time they play 3 outs or 7 runs!!! Tuesday and Thursday's you will be able to locate us a ball field, nice part is that all Thursday games are in Nicollet.

Cody' first night of pitching. He did a good job I thought, better then I could do that is for sure.

Saturday June 6th 5:56pm

Payten and I had a talk a few weeks ago when she looked like she was going to roll over. I told her she had to do it for the first time at night or when school was out. Because I wanted to be the first to see it.

Saturday was the first night mom was away from Payten over night. We had a wedding in Lakeville so the kids went to Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Dave's for the day. Dad got a call (really a few missed calls), it was Cody. We talked to him and he told us that Payten rolled over at 5:56!!! The message he left was so cute. Go figure she waited until I was done with school and I still missed it. But with Cody's message I didn't care, he was a super proud big brother that he saw it for the first time and was able to call us and tell us all about it.

So Sunday she had to show off her stuff, she rolled from her back to tummy and back again. These are the pictures I got

Trying to get over

Here I go

I made it

Daddy... Hannah Did It

So Friday night Cody was at a birthday party and Trav had a golf tournament. I found a sitter for Payten, so I could join Trav for happy hour. Hannah was ready to babysit and had big plans for the two of them!

Yes she painted her toe nails!

And then they went for a walk and stopped at the swings for the first time.

Wrap up from the last two weeks

Woo hoo.... lots to catch up on. First Thanks to our parents for taken care Miss Payten for the last 7 weeks. Because of them I never worried about her and she never had to deal with colds, pink eye, or any of that stuff you can catch at daycare. And I know that they had lots of fun with her. She knows how to flash that smile at them all and boy can my mother and her have there little talks. Its so cute to watch Payten look at her and just talk.

Last week Grandma Peggy took Payten to see Great Great Grandma, and Great Grandpa Larry came along for the ride.

It was a busy few weeks. Cody started baseball so we have been having practice 2 nights a week, I've golfed a few times, Dad has hit a few more golf course, and our quite weekends seem to fly by.

SUMMER IS HERE!!!!!

I'm done --- its official --- school is out! Cody was done yesterday and I'm done today. Sorry I know some of you out there don't like me right now. So look for a nice long up date in the next few days and some good pictures too. In between pool time and cleaning the house I should be busy.
