S'more Fair!

More of the carousel and the wave. She just had a blast on this ride!

More dancing at the band stand the "Beetles" group that was there and was so much fun to listen to!



Maci and Payton, i think that they like each other! They are so cute playing together. Payton used to say "Phe Phe" for Maci. Now that she is saying Maci more clearly, it kinda makes me sad!


Just as "The Beetles" were wrapping it up I threw Maci and Payton on stage for the picture. They had such a blast dancing to their songs and we had so much fun listening to them, watching M & P dancing and yes and occasionally singing right along with them! Can't wait for the fair to roll around next year!

Good 'ol County Fair!

SO we start at the County Fair Parade. Payton and her daddy, enjoying some candy that was thrown out. Payton has discovered taffy and loves it.

Payton and Kennady sitting just so....well, they really were running into the street during the parade.


Payton and Cooper dancing at the bandstand to some rockin' tunes.

I love these pictures because the carousel was her absolute FAV! She loved it and what is so hilarious is she waved like this the ENTIRE ride! The couple of times that we rode it and Jeremy wasn't around to watch, she would ask "where's my daddy?" So fun, although each night we went to the fair she wouldn't want to leave until we went to the "Fair" aka the rides.


Now this picture i know it looks as if Payton has pushed Maci down, but she did not. That is just how she dances!

Random Pics

I had to put this picture up because we all remember her defiant No to the crown she was offered, well, give her a feather and she won't take it off!

We went to the Bees game and these are the only pictures i got. We had a lot of fun, the kids played on the grass, and the adults basically chased after them. They rode on a train and played on the playground toys. It really was fun, but honestly didn't see much of the game!

more birthday pics!

This picture got out of order, but this is Payton having some birthday cake, an improvement from last year, now at least she is holding a fork.

Payton blowing out her birthday candles

the kids table. Now i don't know if cousin Maci is the cleanest 3 year old or if cousin Kenna is the messiest 3 year old to eat cake. What you may not be able to see is how spotless Maci is and Kenna is lucky if any of that cake got in her mouth and not on the table, or floor! We love them both! Missing is Cooper who is clearly done.

This is her opening a present and yes that is her swatting at Cooper's hand! Yeah, that is my princess.

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Payton showing me she is 2! (yeah, it looks like 5 i know, we are working on it!)

So i just wanted to give you all a sense of just how excited the boys were to coming to our Mermaid luau! They watched the Olympic basketball the entire time. Oh wait, they did break away long enough to grab some cake and sorbet! jk it was all fun!

So she got a baby Minnie Mouse that she is clearly stating is hers!

We gave her (along with Biz and Pa) a doll house. This was technically Cinn's and my barbie doll house we spent many a hours playing in. okay cinn, i know mom made it for you but i put in just as much time, it should have been to the both of us! anyway, we gave that to her and bought here a few baby dolls to play with it. She LOVES IT!!! I am planning to remodel it and sadly say goodbye to the Pegasis room.
