Happy 2nd Birthday Peyton

On Peyton's real birthday I took him to his first movie, Madagascar 2. He had a blast and actually sat through the whole movie. We had so much fun and it was nice to do something with just the two of us.

Here Peyton is picking out some candy.

You can't really tell but Peyton was so into the movie he was leaning forward holding onto the seat in front of us.
We got Peyton some Toy Story figures and a Toy Story shirt for his birthday. He loved them.

Ever since Hayley was born Peyton was getting up several times a night wanting us to tuck him in. The night before Peyton's party Mark got tired of getting up and camped out with Peyton. I got to take a picture before they got up the next morning. Don't they look so cute?

It has been 3 nights since Peyton has gotten up in the middle of the night so say a prayer that this phase is over.

We had Peyton's party at a park this year. They have a little train you can rent and everyone gets to go for a ride around the park. We had a lot of fun but it was also the first cold and windy day of the year. Note to self, November can either be 90 or 40 degrees in Texas.
We got a bubble machine for the party and this was by far Peyton's favorite. Mommy and Peyton before our train ride.

"All Aboard!" Peyton kept saying that as we were all getting on.

Our conductor!

They decorated the train for Peyton's birthday!

Peyton's Buzz Lightyear cake

We couldn't light the candle because it was so windy so we just pretended.

He loves cake!

Peyton loved opening presents this year. He played with his new toys all afternoon.

Peyton tickling his Uncle Andrew. This is his 2 year old shirt I made him. He is so big now :(

Hayley's First Playdate

We got some of our playgroup pals together last week with the new babies. Its so funny because it brought back memories of the older ones when they used to just sit on the blanket we put them on and we could just talk. Now, we have the older ones running around playing and a new group of little ones. They are so precious.
Here is some of the new group. Alby was born on October 3rd, Tae was born on October 13th, and Hayley on October 16th.

Aren't they just so cute?

Here are the big brothers and sisters with their new babies.

Quick trip to the Ranch

Last weekend was opening weekend for deer season. All the boys went hunting on Saturday so we took Peyton up on Sunday so he could see all the animals. Peyton had a blast. He belongs at the Ranch. I have a feeling he will be spending a lot of time out there once he is a little bit older.This is pretty much what Hayley did the whole time we were out there. Isn't that the life?Any time Peyton was inside this is where he was, at the door saying "Bullseye where are you"? (In case you are wondering that is the donkey's name, named after the horse in Toy Story).Uncle Andrew and PeytonPeyton petting Bullseye. He is so sweet and gentle. He followed Peyton everywhere.Pappy Jack showing Peyton Bullseye.Pappy Jack took Peyton for a ride on the 4-wheeler. Peyton loved it!
Aunt Kelsey and Peyton in the truck. Peyton got to go for a ride around the ranch with Pappy Jack and Nana. They said he was telling them about everything he saw. As you can tell he wears his hat and boots everywhere now. Its so funny. He is such a boy!

Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. Last year Peyton couldn't even walk and this year he was knocking on the doors and saying "Trick or Treat". Its amazing how much they grow in a year. We went trick or treating with one of Peyton's best friends Avery. They looked so cute!

Peyton was not wanting to put his costume on, but the cookies were a distraction.As you can tell there were some tears involved while he had to hold still while I pinned him.Hayley was excited to wear her big bow :)Peyton finally cheered up after everything was on and we told him he looked just like Woody. Here are Peyton and Avery knocking on their first door.

Don't they just look adorable?Giving hugs goodbye!

Peyton loved everything about Halloween, even the skulls and spiders.

Hayley came along for the ride, she was so good.

Peyton checking out a skull.

We decorated our house for Halloween and Peyton loves this Ghost. He had to say Goodnight to it every night we had it up.

Here he is with his Ghost.

When we came inside from Trick or Treating Peyton saw the candy and needed to get some more.

So sweet!

Peyton loves his little sister!
