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.

We are officially moved in :)

Well I know it has been forever since I have posted but it has been so hectic. We are officially moved in but every time I think we have everything done I find another box or realize we haven't hung any pictures. For the most part we are moved in and all that matters is that the kids rooms are done and that they have toys again :) Peyton was so excited to see all of his toys again. He kept saying "Thank you Mommy, Thank you for all my toys". It kinda broke my heart a little that he was missing all of his stuff so much.

We just got back from an awesome vacation to Point Pleasant, New Jersey. The weather was great and it was a very relaxing trip. I have a ton of pictures but I need to go through them and weed out the good ones because there are well over a hundred. So, more to come soon.

July Update

We had a very fun 4th of July. Here are the kiddos in their so cute outfits!

One of my friends picked up this towel for Hayley for me. I love it, she cracks me up.

Hayley is completly opposite of Peyton and loves food. It is hilarious. She wants anything that anyone is eating. I have not found anything she doesn't like. I got some puffs for her the other day and let her play with the container and this is what I came back to. We finally sold our house and found a new house. We are super excited but so sad to leave our friends here in Avery Ranch. We loved it here. We won't be far only about 10 minutes but still it won't be the same. Here are some pictures of the new house.

We close on both houses July 24th. So everyone say a prayer that everything goes smoothly.
