Mommy Get Your Camera

That is what Peyton has been telling me this whole week. Each morning he climbs on the bike with Hayley and tells me to go get my camera. I guess he thinks this makes for a cute picture. I have to agree :)

September Update

My sister in law called me last night and scolded me for my lack of posting. So, here is a catch up on what we have been up to.
Our playgroup took the kids to a bouncy place after all the big kids were back in school. They had so much fun. This was Hayley's first time. She loved it at first till I put her down a slide. She wouldn't let go of me after that.

Here she is at the top of the slide. She was so excited until she came down. I don't have a picture of afterwards she was terrified. Poor baby :(

Peyton coming down the slide. These places are one of Peyton's favorite places to go. He is a wild man.

As everyone knows Hayley loves to eat. Which is completely opposite of Peyton. She gets so so messy after every meal. Sometimes I wish I could just hose her down.

In Austin we have these cow statues which all of the kids love to climb on. Jessica and I took our kids to play and tried to get some pictures.

I have been watching one of my friend's little boys on Wednesdays. Little Michael is so much fun. He loves hanging out with Peyton. It is so cute to watch them play together. I had all the kids finger paint last week. Michael and Peyton loved it. Hayley just tried to eat the paint so maybe we will wait a little longer for her to paint again.

Peyton finger painting.

Little Michael was so clean after finger painting. I'm not sure what is wrong with my children. I guess they are more into body painting.

Peyton and Hayley on our way to meet his teacher before school starts. Peyton will be going to school twice a week this year. He has been asking to go every day. This year he has two of his friends from playgroup in his class. They love it!

He loved his classroom.

Peyton and his teacher Mrs. Robin. So far he has had a blast at school and I love his teacher this year.

Hayley loves her passy. It sort of worries me because I don't know how I am ever going to get rid of it. She found three of them in the cabinet and wouldn't let go of them.

Peyton on his way to school on his first day.

This is Hayley's favorite thing to do in our house at the moment. I pick up these cups and plates about 10 times a day. I keep saying we need a lock on this cabinet but it will entertain her for about 20 minutes while I am cooking dinner.

Fantasy Football has officially started. This is what our house will look like for next 6 months. You have to have your laptop out while watching the games.

Circus

My Mom came in town and took all of us to the Circus. We had a blast. It was so much fun and I can't wait to take the kids again next year.
Daddy and Peyton right before the Circus started. We got to go down on the floor and see everyone.

Peyton and one of the clowns. Peyton wasn't so sure about him.

Hayley loved the circus. I didn't think she would be very interested in it but she wanted to sit with my Mom the whole time so she could see better.

As you know they have people walking around the whole time selling all kinds of good treats. Grandma couldn't resist Peyton's sweet little voice asking for everything. When Grandma takes you to the Circus you really experience the Circus.

Peyton got this sword which he loves. It lights up. What else could a boy ask for?

Peyton and his clown nose. He still plays with this.

Peyton also got a hat.

Which he thought Daddy should wear. Yummy Cotton Candy! Can we say sugar overload!!

I thought the elephants were awesome. I can't imagine how they get them to do all of these tricks.

This was probably Peyton's favorite part. At the very end they had confetti come falling down on top of everyone. He loved it!

Point Pleasant

I can't believe I am just now posting these pictures but we are still getting settled in the new house and I haven't had time to sit down and go through them all. I was looking through them this morning with the kids and all Peyton kept saying was lets go to Uncle John's house. I with we could. I can't wait to go back. We had so much fun. Here are some of the pictures we took. Here we are on the plan about to take off. The kids did awesome. They both took naps which was amazing.

On the way to the boardwalk!

Daddy and Peyton playing in the waves. Peyton could not get enough. He loved the water.

The waves were a little high for me. Also, the water is pretty cold.

Hayley bear enjoying the sun with out it being 110 degrees outside.

Daddy and his little girl !

Peyton loved the sand. He brought all his toys to the beach and buried them in the sand.

Last year Nemo was his favorite ride and it still was this year.

One of the days we were there it was pretty hot. It only got up to 95 so it still wasn't as bad as it was here. We went up to the boardwalk to ride rides and to cool off they had a mister. Peyton thought it was really cool.

Hayley was to little for the rides so she spent some time in the stroller. She didn't seem to mind.

Hayley and I happen to have matching shirts. I didn't realize this until we got there. I had to get a picture.

Playing with Papa's hat.

She loved his hat and it would entertain her forever.

The kids could only take so much of the beach so we decided to get a pool for the backyard so they could play in the water. It was so big that we all go in it. I have to say it was a hit.

Peyton liked to put the spider on my face. Such a boy!

Who knew spiders like to swim!

Peyton on the swing. This was my favorite ride as a kid and Peyton loved it also.

On the boat.

We walked down to the pier and got to see all the boats going by. Peyton thought they were all pirates.

Our attempt at a family shot.

Another attempt.

After many attempts to get everyone looking at the camera and smiling we decided maybe looking the other direction would be better.

Peyton and Hayley loved playing under this table. It entertained them for about an hour. Peyton called it his cave.

You can barely see them under there.

Peyton on the motorcycle.

He loved this helicopter. I was a little scared to let him go on this but he loved it. You can see how high it goes compared to the merry go round behind it.

Driving his plane.

And his favorite, Nemo!

For future reference don't try to get a picture of your kids while the T.V. is on.
