Easter Was a Blast!

So as usual our family is crazy busy!  Anthonys soccer season is over but Club is just getting started.  Payton had her first Easter Party at Gingerbread and all of us were able to attend this year.  Brayden had a good time but insisted on trying to run off to play with dogs in peoples yards close to Gingerbread, hehe.  He has been very cracky due to molars coming in and just a little fiesty one!  They both are really into one another right now, play together and help each other.  Brayden is now at the stage where we can all 4 lay in the bed together and watch TV and he is calm.  I love it!

Easter had me wishing for another baby.  To see my two so grown up is crazy!  I can't believe Brayden will be 2 and is wearing a 2T in tops!!  His foot is almost bigger than Paytons!  He was running with daddy and everytime he saw an egg to find his mouth dropped like he struck gold!  Such a happy kid!  He still obsessed wtih balls and now enjoying bugs with daddy- butterflies and birds too!  our backyard is looking good and we plan on spending our summer back there, can't wait!  Payton got a barbie scooter from the Bunny and Brayden got a tricycle.  It has been raining (which we are glad) but can't wait to see them get started riding them!  Payton threw the eggs so hard in her basket because she was so excited and in a hurry she cracked most of them.  I looked over and she had one peeled and eating the egg. lol.  Gosh they are so fun. 

We did pictures- their first professional pictures together, oooooohhhhhhh sooooo cute!!!  My little man is a handsome devil and Payton is a doll face.  She loves the camera! 

We went to the mall to eat the other night and she ran into a friend from Gingerbread- talk about adorable!  She said "hi addie" and her and Addie played and played.  They were both kind of being mean and not sharing with the other little girl who did not got to Gingerbread- guess it was a click thing-lol. 

We are starting her in dance soon and then I hope piano, but we will see.  They are trying to tell me she needs to be at least 5 for piano but i think she would be fine. oh well.  we started her Mary Kay business and it is taking off so well!!  I don't only think this will help us raise money for her team but when she is older this might be the answer to her starting a job as she gets older.  She is just getting so grown up and I just don't want them to get big!!  it is bitter sweet.  Anthony and I are wanting another one now for sure but we are going to see how the stay home during the week/travel on weekend dad role goes.  I will miss him but we will get to visit him from time to time.  He is super pumped about this opportunity and quite frankly i think he should have been doing it from the beginning!  he is so smart at soccer and still pretty good at it.  and most of all loves it! 

I was recently moved up to Admin II and am honored. I love my job and lucky to have found one I can enjoy while my boss lets me take off for the kids stuff.  I still miss them though every minute!!  Makes me sad that Brayden gets so excited to go to Donnas, but then again he is at that age he needs to be with other kids instead of sitting at home.  I will def prob take the time off to enjoy our third if we have one, it flies by so quickly when they are little chunky sweetys that just want to eat and sit around looking cute all day! 

Payton was the cutest little thing, i find myself crying when i find baby pictures of her!!  Gosh i miss that!  I have brought most of her projects to work with me- her "if you give payton a pancake", her bear and the necklace out of a paperplate she made me.  I am so proud of her and she is doing so so well.  We are working hard on alphabets, counting but she knows most of her shapes and all of her animals.  She is talking excellent compared to what I thought she would be at.  She asked me the other night if I was tired and I said yes she said " go nite nite mommy".  soooo cute.  she is my little mom.  She calls me mommy most of the time now, which melts my heart. 

Brayden usually gets rocked and 3 little bears when he goes to bed, loves when I talk it papa bear voice, he does that Anthony look with a scrunched nose and cutest smile!  I think I want one more of him and be done.  He is still a little blondie for now and big beautiful brown eyes.  Him and Payt are our twins for now.  We usually do puzzles and read at night and it is so fun.  They are loving old mcdonald song right now and if i dare say an animal twice, payton is sure to tell me "no mom- did it already".  LOL.  She is getting up sometimes in the middle of the night to go potty, which is soooooo awesome!!  She still has trouble and not completely potty trained, but she will get there. 

Her mothers day tea party is coming up and i have to work:(  but mama is going to surprise her and go.  i know she will love that!  she loves mama and is going to miss her visits on Mondays.  When we kept telling the both of them guess who is coming this weekend (meaning the Easter Bunny) they would scream and get excited and say "MAMA!!!"   I was sad to have to say nope not mama.  They have so much fun.  Mama measures their feet and lets them put stickers all over her, lol. 

We got lots of plans this summer, hoping San Antonio is one of them!!  Going to get us another turtle, Mo has disappeared (Brayden named him).  Poor boy he looks for him all over in the back and just doesn't understand why or where he has gone.  He is actually still back there and hiding from us crazy folks.  hehe.  The other turtle passed away, we found him in the pond :(  so sad.  So anyway I am sure we will find more animals to stock up in the back yard for Brayden boy. 

Month of May is going to be crazy!!  Mothers day, Kalhours wedding, Kam Bams 2nd Birthday, Julies shower and Mason's first birthday which we are hoping to attend all- we will see.
