First Day of Mother's Day Out!




Today was the first day of Mother's Day Out for Payton and Reagan. Both kids loved their classes and came home with some really neat art pictures. Payton will go to MDO on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursday, and Reagan will go on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is hard to believe that next year Payton will start kindergarten.

Where did the summer go???



We have had a great summer! Most of our days have been spent either camping or at the pool. It was time for some recent pictures. I take them when I can...even with cheetos all over their faces.

Payton seems to have grown a foot this summer. We have started buying clothes for the fall, and he is in a size 5T! That seems huge! This is my "little" boy. He was so small for so long and now is growing like a weed. Payton loves to swim. His head stays below the water more than on top of the water. Just last week he started jumping off the diving board and going down the slide at the pool. Math is his new intellectual hobby. He has a number/math game on his leapster and so now we have conversations like "3+4=7".

Reagan is two, and I think she knows she is supposed to carry out the "terrible two" behavior. About a month ago, she discovered the phrase, "no, get away." She also learned how to kick when she throws a fit on the floor. On the other hand, she is such a sweetie with her cute little maternal ways. She loves to play with her kitchen and with her babies. Reagan loves to go to the pool too. She loves to swim with her "tay-tay" - her name for Payton. Reagan has also been growing! Her foot has grown 2 sizes this summer! We just got her hair cut into a bob last week, and she looks like our little malibu barbie!

Children are God's precious gifts...........especially to us!
