Name for my camera???

I got my camera today, my best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh super pumped!!!  I just need to come up wiht a new blog for the pictures!  Payton got her first report card today, she and I had a wonderful lunch and I am so proud of her!!!

Just not good at this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I knew it had been a long long time since i blogged but man didn't realize this long.  So much has changed and happened!  Starting my new photography business so super pumped to be able to share my wonderful photos with friends and family! 

I have to say I couldn't have done it without Payton!!!  She truly inspires me.  It is amazing the things that happen with her and then I sit back and think about the changes I need to make!  I went entire month to meetings about investing, who to invest a small business with, etc.  Then it hit me, if I a going to invest, do what I love and be inexpensive about it! 

I took this picture with my cell at the park, just walking and fell in love with it!  A little photo shop and man does it take my breathe away! 

Wonderful Holidays this year...

so far it has been great holidays this year other than aunt su su still not doing well.  super pumped about Santa, the kids are going to love their swing set nana and pa got them.  They so far just want cookies and candy from him lol.  I couldn't ask for a more blessing then still being with my husband and the father who has taking a huge cut to start his coaching career and really has done well this year.  I am thinking of saving his gift until new years day.  brayden is so big, took him shopping last night and a lady sneezed and he said "are you okay?" adorable!!!  He is really into Dolphins right now and calls all fish type animals that lol.  He still loves balls but we aren't playing with them as much until he is a little older.  Counting and says his abc's... when he starts Gingerbread next year i am going to bawl my eyes out!!  payton is doing wonderful, finally she has conquered potty training and taught her baby brother how to start.  she has calmed down so much, still loves to read, draws, loves baby time and being the mommy.  Life is good all the time!

4 years old!!

My princess will be 4 years old in about 2 weeks!!  I am not sure how I feel about this, hehe!  She is counting and singing so well.  Still challenges with potty training lately, has good weeks and bad weeks.  Her and Brayden are the best of friends and I think they always will be.  She is his little momma and he seems to like that okay.  He asks for her as soon as he wakes up, greets her with a "good morning" and most of the time she gets a cranky but cute attitude when she wakes up and says good morning back.  Daddy and momma are actually thinking of a third now.  Waiting until the break of no diapers happens, but who knows how long that will be.  Also looking forward to all the fun things coming up.  They are both at the stage they can go and do just about anything.  We spend a lot of time at the park, in our back yard and taking walks.  Favorite games are hide and seek and simon says.  Payton is flipping and jumping all over, her muscle tone is still wonderful.  Brayden just follows right after her.  She has trouble pronouncing g's so , we get a lot of "ass hoppers" when we see them outside and "mom heres your asses" when she brings me my glasses.  She is adorable.  Brayden is so lovable and loves his momma so much!  Told me he loved me and hugged me like he would never see me again when I went in to take a bath.  He is so big and handsome!  Still a little blondie but I think it is getting darker.  Still loves those balls, soccer balls!  But is reading more and taking more to education a little better than before.  Birthday party is skulls with bows, sounds ugly but is super cute.  Can't believe she is 4, I really can't!  She is my princess and although I love watching her grow, not ready for her to be a 4 year old! 

Buddy Walk was a hit as usual, made almost 3600!

Summer '11

Well I have managed to wait again to blog, an entire summer of fun and I guess too much to blog about hehe.  Hot hot summer at that!  We, Oklahoma have hit another record high this summer and it was miserable!  The kids got to the point they didn't even want to go outside.  The weather is beautiful now and we are very much taking advantage of it!  Went on our first family vacation to San Antonio for the National Down Syndrome convention and had a blast!  The kids did great on the car ride and Konnor boy went with us.  The resort we stayed in was amazing.  This Sunday, 10 year from 9/11 tragic in NY we will be celebrating Brayden's second birthday!  I cannot believe my baby boy is 2!  He has grown to be such a little handsome, smart and very onry but precious little boy!!  He loves Mickey Mouse, turtles and still obssessed with soccer balls!  Anthony is teaching him "pinch, poke you owe me a coke" and he walks around saying "poke coke poke coke" lol!!  He and Payton are a blast!  While P is out on leave Payton started back to school without her and she is actually doing better lol, she is actually following the rules and behaving better.  I think it is a part of her turning into a big girl too.  Buddy Walk is coming up and I haven't got much done, boo!  no time and my mary kay account for Payton is doing so well, no time!!!  Mama and Ron got started on the new house on the farm, so excited to see it!  Daddy is up to 3 club teams and made head coach at Moore High so he is swamped!  loving every bit and finally finding happiness in his career path.  I am a blessed woman to have a wonderful family! 

Paytons gymnastics didn't go as well as planned but dance was pretty good.  We decided to wait on both until next year, giving her a little more time to mature.  Brayden could start soccer now if he could, he is that focused on it... crazy!!!!!!!  As I usually leave it, time flies when you are having fun!! 

May 24 2011- The Farm

I am not sure how long I lived here with my brother and sister, a dog named Pete and my mother and real father- but I remember it... I also have sooo many memories with my mama and Ron- my brother and sister and cousins Brandy and Brad - memories of dance contest, hide and seek and one time Brandy ran into the bob wired fence :(, little Buffy- a shitzu we all hated but loved in one (we used to take a fishing pole and throw it at little buffy to aggrevate him) he was the meanest little cutest thing in the world.  A couple of funny memories- i think we might have snuck some wine and snuck out the window, but always had to sleep in the room with the big brass bed!  We also gathered most holidays to Mama and Ron's wonderful home cooked meals and let the grandkids run all over the house. 

It was a beatiful place, but most importantly Mama and Ron made it out... they explain the seconds it took for their beautiful home to crumble around them on News 9 and it brings chills and tears to my heart!  Mama keeps talking about Payton's pillows she was sewing and Ryan later found some angel food cake still in foil and he ate it, hehe.  Ron pulled out a ski that we all learned how to ski on for the first time "woody".  Mama's eyes lit up everytime we found a picture, her china, etc... it was so sad. 

We all worked so hard as a family to help get it cleaned up and salvage what we could.  Wonderful friends came out to bring food and drinks.  That house will be soooooo missed!  Mama and Ron are planning to rebuild this year.  The two are literally litte love birds and just grateful they have each other. 

Before, house added on and 3200 sq ft.

 
 

Kam Bams birthday was a blast!

Little Kameron Andrew turned 2 on Friday and Saturday we had a water day for the birthday.  It was a blast!!  My little man played with all the balls all day and Payton played in her dress shoes with her snazzy zebra swim suit.  Man is she all girl and he is all boy these days!!  He decided he would try dirt this weekend and didn't like it too much.  He spent about 20 minutes trying to catch a cricket and almost in tears because it was exhausting and in the end still no cricket, lol. 

Payton is talking more and more everyday.  She sang twinkle twinkle, most of alphabets, snookems song and last but def not least "you are my sunshine"to all of us this last weekend.  Teacher her dolls to go potty on the potty chair and they have been sitting in time out, being read to and the cutest they are getting dressed several different times.  She is a hoot! 

Brayden is running around saying "Oh Goodness" and "Aw man!"  He got his first hair cut and looks so handsome and all grown up:(  Trying to get him to sleep in his toddler bed but he loves his crib too much right now, he looks so big in it!  He is finally falling a sleep and laying in our bed more, finally calming down to watch shows with us at night.  I miss him little but I will say this is my favorite age for the little guy.  He cracks us up!  In a some what deep voice he well tell us something that we can't even understand, he just thinks he is the boss.  

It was a great weekend, much better then the last weekend when mommy got bit, a bowl thrown at her face and it seemed like Payton pooped 10 times in her pants!  Not going to write about that day, but def won't forget it!

Daddy is up to 2 teams and getting ready to start his club soccer in August.  San Antonio is in August so we are hoping he gets to come.  Bitter sweet if he doesn't.

Mothers Day 2011 was best!!

I could not of asked for a better weekend!!!  Friday was awesome, Saturday we slept in and spent the evening out side in the water and Sunday I woke up to breakfast in Bed, a sweet card from the hubby with coupon book from him and poster that had some very sweet little hand and feet prints on it!

Thursday was Paytons Mother Day tea party, you can see from the pictures we had a blast.  She introduced me said "Casey" when they asked my name, held my hand the entire time, sang very well with her other peers for the program- bringing home a bumble bee and hoochie coochie is by far her fav, brought me my food and tea (with quite a few spills but who is counting!) and best of all brought me a flower and the sweetest mothers day craft she made!!!  Little man topped the night off by grabbing my face and telling me "missed you momma" when i rocked him to bed.  Gosh so sweet.  It pays off I tell them I have missed them every single minute when I pick them up at the end of the day.

Brayden spent all weekend with his balls- slept with the tennis ball, soccer ball, vollyball and even throwing a fit about the new soccer and football craft I put on his wall- oh boy!!!  I found some sweet baby pictures of him and wished so badly he was still little chunky man!  I sure had a great weekend, the best!  Saturday evening Brayden and I ran to Hobby Lobby, he said hi to everybody in sight and sat very patiently in the cart while I shopped for picture frames.  We ended the day with our favorite white choclate pretzels, melted and all over our face!  He loves his momma!! 

I am so blessed to have very smart, beautiful and very well behaved kidos!!!  Love them soooo much!
