Hayley's 1st year Pics

We went today and had Hayley's first year pictures taken. Having a girl is so much fun. I got to dress her up so cute! She was so precious! Our photographer was awesome. I loved her! Here is a link to her blog where she has a picture of Hayley up

I think I am in trouble if all the pictures turned out this cute! Oh, there are two Hayley's on the blog. Scroll down our Hayley is the second one. I hope you would figure this out but just in case.

Football Sundays

As everyone knows Mark is really into fantasy football. He is trying to convince our kids that they want to sit and watch every game also. (Good luck with that Daddy!)

Here is Daddy and Hayley watching some Sunday Football.

11 Months Old

It is hard to believe but Hayley is almost a year old. My baby girl is growing up. We have had a tough week around here. Peyton was sick and now Hayley has it. We took our first trip to the ER this weekend with Hayley. Thank God she is fine but she was having trouble breathing. Her doctor said it is croup and it is causing her to wheeze pretty bad. We are doing breathing treatments and she is on a steroid. They said this will make her pretty grumpy but she should be feeling better soon. No fun! Just an update from our casa!

As many of you know I am involved in Chaparral Women's Club in Round Rock. We are hosting our annual fall fundraiser, Babes in Toyland. This is a one day market shopping event. The money that we raise from this event will go straight to charities in Williamson County. We are having some really fantastic vendors at this years event. We have everything from children's clothing, toys, books, candles, jewelry, home decor, women's clothing, and much, much more! I want to invite you to come out to this event, bring some friends and shop while at the same time helping to raise money for charity. Here is the specific information on the event.

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!
