My day off...

So miss Payton will be 3 in October, doing wonderful but had kind of set back on potty training this last week and her visit with Sooner Start could have been better.  Apparently she is doing wonderful in comprhension but language she was getting confused, so now we have a new goal/challenge to work towards.  No problem!  We can do it and we have total faith in her. 

Yesterday she played with floaties on, I have noticed she is biting her nails a lot.  She clinged to me so craziness- I was cracking up.  Brayden was loving it, not scared of anything.  She decided yesterday she would take all the clean clothing out of her basket in her closet (clothes I have been meaning to put up in storage or give to K) and throw them on the floor, bubba helped.  I was getting our go bag ready so I kind of let them do it to keep them occupied.  I walked in there and was like OMG- anyway told her to pick them all up and put them back, left for a few and went back, still all over the floor.  So I went back in and told her "if you want to swim with p, tay tay and ro ro today you will pick these up!" I put one piece of clothing in the basket and was like "just like this, pick them all up and do it now!!"  I left for a few, I could hear Brayden and her just laughing away, so cute!!  Went back in there to check and sure enough it was all picked up, plus some- her entire closet that she could get a hold of was in the basket, lol!!!!!  Every pair of shoes (and she has a ton), couple of small pictures I need to put up on her walls, her flower girl dress, everything!!  I was laughing so hard, had to dig in her laundry basket to find her sandels- oh those two are going to be a mess together!  I should have taken a picture, but didn't have time, darnit! 

We had a good day swimming, Brayden has decided to be a screamer- he is sooo loud my ear drums want to burst, I feel sorry for Payton because she is like me- hurts, lol.  She still says "NO Brayden!" so funny.  He is getting so big and just so handsome.  Can't believe how blessed I am and how wonderful my family is- super lucky lady I am. 

One tooth on top, too cute- sitting in highchair that has been in our family for over 30 years!!

Moagy/Grandma Sentus/Grammy loves her two awnry Domina kids!

Brayden so excited about the water.

Cheessseeeee for the camer and bubba is like "whatever!", lol.

Long week, tired!

Its been a long week, so tired.  Payton is finally settling in to Gingerbread, eating better and I think feeling more comfortable.  She is getting her bag and walking right out of Donna's to head to school with P and Tay Tay and RoRo, in the beginning she threw fits!  Now it is enjoyable to see her P and she is ready to go to school.  She has been great all week, except this morning- a bit of waking up on the wrong side of the bed is what I think, lol.  Little man stood up with out holding on to anything yesterday, he just slowly raised on up and looked at me like "look mommy, I did it".  He has the cutest smile, he has just one top tooth so it is hilarious to see him smile.  Little O came over to play, they played until very late so I am thinking that is why Payt is so tired.  She woke up bright and early, "Hi" you can hear trying to get my eyes open, "blanket" she lifts her blanket and we lift her into bed with us.  We will def have to get a bigger bed when the little guy gets bigger.  He is starting to become attached this camo blanket as well- I love being a mommy they are so fun and just make my day every day. 

Starting to plan little guys 1 year birthday party, I can't believe he will be one, my son my baby boy 1 years old!  Bitter sweet for sure!  He is clapping his hands, standing up on his own, eating all kinds of crackers and puffs, waving bye, absolutely crazy about water and of course loving his mommy and daddy.  He is babbling away too, still hooked on dada but he has said momma a couple of times.  

Our beautiful big brown eyed happiest baby boy on the planet!!!!!!!!

"hmmmmmmm what can we sing next"  "lets see now"

This is by far mommy's fav picture!!!!  Nonnie is the best!

Bubby getting so big, loves his books.

"Cheessseee" and then she insists on seeing it on the camera.

Back to work...

Bitter sweet day for me today, usually I get over being home with the kids and having to go back to work quickly, but today I am missing them both.  Brayden and Payton just keep getting funnier and all grown up more and more.  Yesterday we spent the afternoon at Nonnie's pool after a good long nap.  Payton and Braydens allergies have been acting up so we played hookie all week, well they did. Stayed with dad on Tuesday and me yesterday.  Brayden is getting more and more into books like Payton, he has always sat and listened but now he actually prefers them over other toys and he sits there like he is really ready them, so cute.  He loves Twinkle Twinkle Litte Star, it is about the only thing that will calm him down and sometimes if we are lucky he tries to sing it.  He is so beautiful, great big beautiful eyes and his skin tone is still olive color, which surprises me because me and anthony are ghost, lol.  He had a blast in the pool, just splashed and relaxed.  His two bottom teeth are in and his tops are coming in, so cute!!!  I just love him, he's momma's little boy.

Little Payt is jumping off the side of the pool, I let her go under for a minute and then Nonnie pulled her up, she actually didnt' have too much water in her mouth or nose, she didn't freak out she just kind of sat there, same with bubba, I dipped him under just once.  Anyway Payt and Jayce had so much fun, Jayce sat next to Payton and she sang her little songs, Jayce songs that were made up (made it even cutier) and Payton just watched in awwwww.  She was learning how to go down the ladder when we left so hopefully I can get her back out there to see if she remembers.  She loves the water!  They both do.  When we got home, they were both pooped, ready for bed but of course ready to see their daddy.  Brayden usually prefers his momma, but here lately he really gets so excited to see him's daddy.  Anthony put them both to bed while I cleaned up and crashed.  Woke up not excited to have to go back to work and leave them with sitters, well Payt's at Gingerbread so her day is learning more. I called to check on her a minute ago and P said she was on the ground coloring a picture with her markers, all the sudden in the background I hear "no payton on the paper only" she is so awnry, she only does everything you tell her not to do. 

Ryry's and Aunt Natalie's big day!

Wow what a wonderful weekend!  The dinner rehearsal was wonderful and although I dropped my babies off a friends, I found myself bouncing somebody else's baby around-lol.  Mom did a wonderful job and it was so much fun.  Saturday was chaotic a bit worrying about Payton, but miss thing did so well when it came to ceremony time and walked down the isle.  She walked right to papa and then decided to laugh and turn around to run from him right when Natalie was on her way down the isle with her dad, lol.  She also threw in a "hi" to one of the guests at the wedding, lol. She sat in Papa's lap the entire time and he read to her, gave her treats and whatever else he could think of. So cute.  While we are at the alter you could hear her calling at all of our names- "ryry, naenae, momma, dada" so funny.  Little man slept threw it all in P's arms, sweet baby boy.  They both looked adorable and I can't wait to put up new pictures.  Payton sure was tired after the wedding and picked up where she left off being a bear before the wedding, she didn't want to have anything to do with anybody, didn't want to hear the loud music and was ready to go home.  Brayden was the complete opposite, he danced with his momma in his little onsie because he peed all over his uncle Chris.  He was so good.  Sunday Payt wasn't feeling well so Krystal, Brayden and I went to mam and Ron's for pizza, cookies and cake.  Then went to fish off the dock- hot but fun, little man's first pond experience, of course he just played with mama the entire time.  Krystal caught a big one, Ron a few small ones and me well nothing!!!!  So mad because I love to fish and don't get the time and didn't catch one thing- boo! 

Came home to my baby girl still not feeling well so she skipped school today.  Hope she feels better by Wednesday, we have a big day at the splash pad in Norman.  Can't wait to hold my son today, he is going to be walking in no time.  He plays this game before we go to bed where he lays on my chest and then pops up like nope just kidding not asleep yet, lol.  He is playing peekaboo with the blankets and just the happiest guy, well until you try changing his diaper or his sister takes his toys from him.  I will have my hands full when he starts walking but maybe they will be on the same level a little better.  Attached below new pics from Aunt P at Gingerbread.

Wedding this weekend! Yay

So the little brother is getting married this Saturday, so stinking excited!  Payton will be little flower girl with Jayce and that will be very very interesting.

She is loving Gingerbread and doing so well, so exciting to see her using her potty chair and sleeping in her big girl bed.  She is just getting so big and doing so well.  Took off Friday with the little man, planning to get tubes in his ears next year.  He is so sweet until he is sick and then he just doesn't know what he wants.  Bless his heart I could have let him sleep on my chest for hours- they always want their momma when they are sick. 

Last night him and Payton were dancing getting ready for the wedding, so cute.  Payton was taking Brayden's hands and dancing with him, bouncing up and down.  She bends over and touches the floor and shakes her hair and head all around.  So funny.  The little guy bounces up and down and shakes his hands, of course making sure mommy is watching, lol.  He is getting so big!!!  I love them both so much.  Payton lays down to say her prayers at night, she folds her hands and prays for just about every name she can think about- takes forever!! lol.

Pictures of Gingerbread

Here is Miss Prissy having to clean up what she decided to draw on the wall-lol. 

TGIF!

So Payton had a big week, her second day at Gingerbread she was napkin passer and had a great time before her momma and bubby picked her up.  She made me a picture and I think she made daddy a surprise for their dads day luncheon next week!  Braydens second tooth has just about came in and thank goodness because the little guy hasn't been much fun!  He is hurting bless his heart.  They have been so good and we are blessed  Payton is doing so well at preschool.  She had a long day Thursday, took her lunch like a big girl and had a blast with Aunt P afterwards.  I think it will be so good for her to go and meet new friends and learn from the other kids.  This morning was hard on dad he dropped them off and Payton just cried her eyes out for him not to leave, she misses us I am sure after this long week, thank goodness next weekend I have the full day with them instead of her being at Gingerbread half a day.  I miss taking naps with her and maybe bubba is getting big enough to take a nap with us too, he is getting so big and still just handsome as ever with his big smile and he kind of flirts a little, lol. 

Going home tonight and making dinner then planting myself in front of the pool and then lots of books before night night, nonnie and aunt p are coming up tomorrow to babysit while I get the house cleaned up and put together before the big bridal shower and then we will all be off to Kinzie and Lilly's birthday, yay!!!  Sunday prob a day of nothing- yipee, can't wait to see what the kids do new this weekend, so cute. 

Payton's first day at Gingerbread...

Welp, she made it and made it just fine.  I didn't too great but Payton did wonderful!  We first got there and I started to freak out a little, she was into everything the minute we walked in.  She sat at the play dough area and I filled out all the forms for her, a sweet little blonde girl with pretty blue eyes came up and played with her and then tried to show her how to use the soap dispenser, so funny.  Payton said hi to most of the moms and played on the chalk board and in the kids kitchen.  She did just fine.  I finally left, bawling like a baby- was really crying when I got pulled over right after that, lol.  Anyway P, called and told me she did just fine, I pictured her when she told me she sat down and had her snack and spilt her juice just a little bit, but did great with the big girl cup.  She said it took her a minute to go sit on the rug when it was story/singing time but finally she did and had a great time and obeyed.  She fell and scratched her knee a little, so of course daddy was concerned right away- he is so protective.  Pam told me she ended her day with her back pack waiting for daddy and bubba to pick her up, she sat next to another girl who asked her something and Payton talked back in Payton words and the little girl was like "whattttt?"- man I can picture how cute that was.  Finally daddy came and she was asleep fast.  Precious Precious little girl she is, my baby girl all grown up. 

Brayden went with me to Brandy's that night and just has been throwing fits and arching his back, lol.  And then he looks up to me with his beautiful eyes and I melt, he is rotten!  He stayed up late jumping all over the couch and his momma when she was pooped out.  She is getting so big and I could just hold him forever when he falls asleep on me.  I am going to be ready for another one when he turns 1- which is right around the corner- hmmmmm wonder how we would ever pull that off, lol.

Working again on a Saturday :(

At work again, wishing I was at home with my hubby and kidos.  Daddy was filling the pool when I left to get it warmed up for this afternoon, Baby Brayden was eating a cracker and my Missy Priss, well she was running around being her missy priss self.  She misses her Skyla and has been running hollering for her "lyla" is what is sounds like and man is her tongue at action, lol.  She is a big girl in her toddler bed right across the hall from us, she gets down in the morning and comes in there and says "hi", cracks us up, then she doesn't see Daddy laying there so of course he is the first thing she thinks about when she wakes up so it is "dadda?" with her arms up, I explain where he is and she runs over gets in bed, then decides she wants her "blankie" and gets back down to go get it and gets back up in bed.  Right when you think you are going to get to go back to sleep it is "Spout!", meaning she wants to watch the Sprout channel.  Crack me up!!!  Then you hear bubba, I walk in there to get him and he has the biggest grin like he hasn't seen you in weeks!!  He always has a poopy first thing in the morning and then we all get in bed together, somehow daddy still manages to keep his eyes shut, but Brayden is bobbling around like a frog and Payton is telling him "no, no" and pointing her finger.  Can't wait to get home to see what they have in store for me this weekend!!  They are so much fun and me and my hubby are having a movie night, yay.  Brayden has been sleeping through the night so well and it helps, because Anthony and I feel like we stay up a little later to enjoy peace and quiet.  2 more weeks til the Bridal Shower and 3 more weeks till the big wedding!!!  Can't wait, love aunt Natalie, she is the best! 

Things Payton has got a hold of finally:
- knowing she went potty in her diaper
- counting to 3
- saying 4 words sometimes "i milk, no juice"
- sleeping in her toddler bed
- likes drinking out of a regular cup if I help her
- getting in out and the bath by her self
- sitting in big chair, not highchair

Little man lately:
- turned 9 months on Tuesday
- stood up twice by himself with Daddy
- has the sweetest very small dimple like momma sometimes
- he is the boy you call sweet boy, and can really mean it- wonderful happy baby!!
- his hair is finally coming in, think it is going to be thin stranded by thick like sisters, dark too but coming in light for right now
- loves the pool, will crawl all around, isn't scared one bit!
- his room is about 95% done thanks to She She's help, that dang "Y", lol
- Can't wait for him to meet his new friend baby Mason!

Sure there is more but thats all I can think of this morning.

Wonderful wonderful 3 day weekend...

House is finally coming around, we had so much fun this weekend with family.  Nana and Pa took good care of the babies and played all day with Skyla.  Sklya sang Taylor Swift and read books to little miss Payton!  There are too cute together, I think Payton might have been getting a little jealous of Skyla there in the end, she is very protective and heaven for bid she ever not be the spot light, lol. On the way home from dinner, she started shaking her head and being silly with Brayden and those two laughed at each other all the way home, man was that awesome!!  Anthony and I held hands and enjoyed the moment because soon we would be home and little awnry britches would come back out.  Brayden is just growing and growing, sleeping so well in his new room, he loves being outside and still loves his momma more than ever!  He sure has been throwing fits when I try to change his diaper and wants me to carry him in the grocery cart instead of sitting there, lol.  He pulled down all the clothing in the store yesterday and I just laughed and laughed, he looked at me with his angel eyes, he sure knows how to get his momma!  Sunday the kids played in the water and we got the pond and sand box all cleaned up!  Now life is so much easier- just sit out there and watch your babies, love it!!  Payton is a big girl in her toddler bed, now next focus is potty training!  She is so funny, she gets up after we tuck her in and runs into where we are laughing and giggling, it is so stinking cute!!  Anthony chases her back to her room as she giggles telling her to get back in bed.  Brayden really thinks this part is fun, maybe he should go to bed with her so she doesn't feel left out, lol, she is rotten.  Miss Payton starts Gingerbread in 1 week, so nervous.  I hope she meets new friends, she sure loves her friends at Donnas.  Wonder how brother is going to be with out her at Donnas too.  They grow too fast, flies right by.  4 more weeks until the big wedding!

New house, finally!!!

So the new house is not brand new but so new to us!!  So much room and perfect for our family.  The bonus room is a large area where I can relax a little and just let the baby boy crawl all over and Payton run all over too- so much fun.  Still so much to do but finally getting in and settled.  Payton starts Gingerbread Summer Fun in 2 weeks- all I can say is ahhhhhhhhhh.  Hope she does well and I hope the other kids are good to her.  I am sure she will follow them around observing because that is what she does best.  Brayden is so sweet, he just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter, beautiful baby boy who is just good all the time.  Every now and then he gets huffy, but of course its because he wants his momma.  Payton is constantly sitting next to him and scooting up to him to play.  When people come over she runs by him like she is protecting him, it will be the other way one day.  Brayden is already almost 21 lbs and def going to be bigger than the miss priss.  While he blows strawberries, Payton loves to sing.  Putting her finger up to her mouth and saying "mmmm???" while thinking of what song she would like to sing next.  Sesame street piano playing puppet has taught her to head bang and I have taught her a little " go, fight, win" cheer- too cute.  She really is doing great.  Sooner start said she is right where she needs to be on everything.  She really still struggling a bit with her spoon but her fork is pretty easy.  As soon as the house is fixed up and ready to go, we will start with the potty chair hard core.  For some reason I just havent' been pushing it, I guess I don't want her to be grown up. 

Ry and Nat's wedding is just around the corner.  Brayden is going to be darling and Payton, well she is going to be beautiful of course.  I can't wait and can't wait to see the after pictures.  Little Mason and baby girl Sloane are here- Sloane on my birthday- yay!!!!   This time next year our kids will all be chasing eachother. 

Appreciating Nonnie this morning...

You know when you move out from your parents, in my case pretty much my mom, you really are ready to be your own little family- but man I am going to sure miss my mom this time.  She has got up every morning and made me coffee, helped tremendously with the kids and was my walking buddy.  I will miss her dearly and appreciate her so much and all her and Darwin do for us.  I am going to be super swamped at work today, but taking the time out to tell some more stories about the babies. 

Brayden is all over- patty caking up a storm and just the handsome little man I have always dreamed of having.  We are super blessed because both of them are pretty good kids.  Payton went outside with Nonnie last night and a walk with her daddy.  Anthony takes her to the parks and loves it.  She is truly our little princess.  She loves working in the yard with Nonnie and playing in the dirt and water these days.  By the end of time she usually has dirt in her mouth and all over her face- too stinking cute.  She loves to eat dirt, not sure why we love that when we are young,lol.  Sooner Start comes out tomorrow and I can't wait for them to see how much she has accomplished lately.  She is so smart and I am so proud of her.  She is so so the very opposite than what we thought when she was born.  She is smart, funny and can be serious, well mannered and of course cute as a button.  She is signing, please, thank you and saying them as well.  She knows what everything means that you say, including "who's neighborhood are we in" she starts rambling on "Jack, Trenton, Lilly, Donna" as we get close to daycare.  They are going to start potty training so I guess that is the next goal to get through.  She already grabs her diaper and says yes when I ask her if she has gone potty, so hopefully that will help.  Brayden just stares at her like she is the best thing that has ever happened to him, well except me that is- he is very much a momma's boy and since little Payton is so independent and attached to her daddy- I absolutely love it!!!!  His hair is growing in and his eyes are a beautiful brown color.  He is so precious and I miss him just writing about him.  They are the cutest stage at 8 months and trying to pull up and just sitting there clapping- so so cute.  I am starting him on some small snacks and sippy cups :( can't believe how fast he has grown.  I tell him every day to stop getting bigger but he isn't listening :( great thing is soon he will be bigger that little Payton can wrestle around with him, she has already tried,lolololol. 

Wow, so whats up with us lately...

Man how busy our little family has been!!! So much to catch up on. Sold the little yellow house with the black shutters, first house me and Anthony owned, the house I brought my babies home to and last but def not least the home where my baby Kya passed. It will be very much missed and so many memories in that house. Still living at moms and we close on the new house in 2 weeks. Can't wait. Payton is loving Nonnie's house, she plays outside with her and wakes up every morning asking for her "nonnie and papa". I don't know who will be sadder to see us go, her or my mom,lol. Little Brayden Lee is crawling all over and just off and on with his sleeping still!!! They are both all giggles and so happy. I wish Payt would eat more veggies but she is a fruit taking machine, loves every fruit and even dried. She cracks me up with her long "ummmmmmm" between singing songs and uses it it often when she is thinking, I guess she has gotten this from my mom. Nonnie will say, what song do you want to sing next and she cute as a button will say "ummmmmmmmmmmmmm row row"- it is too cute.  She is also playing wheel of fortune, calls out " O, T" so funny!!!  She is much in to dogs right now and her dog calling out is very country. She has been amazing with the books, can point out many pictures and we are know working on colors. Little man is talking up a storm too, a lot of dada's and baba's. He still loves his momma more than ever and I just love it, he still curls his sweet little head down in between my breast and arm pit, it is so cute and hard for me to put him down. He is growing like a weed and going to be my basket ball star or just big brother to payton- he is huge. Payton's picture has made it to the final rounds of the nation wide contest for special needs catagory with a photography company and I am pumped for her, should know the winners by July. I got a huge free picture out of it and can't wait to put it up on my mantle in the new house. For daddy, he is done with soccer for the season and sad but happy, he was exhausted but will miss his boys. They did good, but hopefully win more next year. He won Cool Dad 2010 for Norman Living Magazine. Won 300.00 worth of prizes and soon we will see him in the article. They took him on a shopping spree and photo shoot. Too cute and he so deserves it.

That sums up most of what I have been missing to put in the blog. I do have to add Miss Payton is such a princess, Monday took her to the park and couldn't get her back in the wagon because she wanted to be all by herself and walk all by herself. She is so independent. Once you show her how to do something, she most def doesn't want your help- so funny. Buddy Walk planning will start soon! Yay!!! Can't wait to take little man- it will be his first year to be there and prob will be walking right next to his big sister. Gosh I love my babies and love being a mommy.

Just need sleep!

So I totally dropped the ball on my last blog, got busy I guess- ended it pretty good for getting busy. LOL. We finally found a home, in contract and ready to get moved. 30 days from now hope I am unpacking in our bigger home so I can blog how much Payton and Brayden run all over the place together. Not so good news- we have all been sick. So tired of being sick, not only does it break your heart when your babies are sick but you don't get sleep! Brayden went on a period of time he slept through the night and then didnt, well he is back sleeping through the night, the perfect schedule the 11pm to 5:30am. And even through Paytons sick up all night phase, he still sleeps well. I miss them both today and wondering how tired my husband is and prob wishing I was there so he could get his "just 20 more minutes" in. When he reads that he will know exactly what I am talking about. We are both exhausted and have colds ourselves. We want 3 babies maybe even 4, but this part will def keep you from having more- sick kids not fun and sad to see them hurting.

My sister Krystal is in town so we spent Saturday at the farm with Papa and Daisynell and Saturday night at mama and rons, went back to Mama's yesterday and had yummy dinner with cookies and homemade german chocolate cake- wonderful!!!!!! Maybe that is why Payton's little tummy is all upset. I am thinking uncle RyRy fed her too much sugar, lol. Payton had a blast with Papa on the farm, yelling at the cows, horses and donkey- Molly, Papa is so funny says "he aint' worth a quarter", lol. I guess he bought him to keep the dogs away from the cattle and he kept jumping the fence to be with the horses so Papa finally left her over with the horses. Papa bought a little Shetland pony for the grandkids and he says it is so mean they can't even get on there, cracks me up!!! Papa is sweet man, loves Payton and Brayden and best of all is a great father and Christian. I love him and since I am named after him, I feel like I have a special take to him.

Krystal looks a lot like summer and acts a lot like me, kind of funny to see my sister and I in one person. She is great with Payton and just loves the kids. I miss her all the time and maybe one day she will move back so I can see her more. I think her and Payton played with Mama's under cabinet cans, bowls for an hour the other day- too stinkin cute!

Brayden is huge!! Well I say that but slipped down to 90th percentile in length than 97th. So I guess he slowed a little. He is jumping now in the forest bouncer and just the happiest little boy. Him and Payton play so well together now and you can tell they are pretty good buds. He does this little dance with his arms when he pushes himself off the ground. Loves Banana's and Sweet Potatos just like Payton and daddy has been slipping some not baby items in there-example a taste of ice cream. lol. His hair is finally coming in more and I can tell he is teething a little. Dr. Fields was impressed with them both and with a last minute high five from Payton, away we went, thankful Nonnie was there to help me get to the car. Something to think about before I have a third, lolol.

Payton starts preschool in almost 3 months and I am so scared, scared little one is going to get ran all over! I know aunt P will take care of her. Anthony walked in on her with her baby propped on her lap burping it, lol. She is very much in her dolls, shoes still and playing tea party. Still loves to read and a new one is loves to write, babysitter says Easter Bunny needs to bring a magnadoddle because she loves it at daycare. I am sure she will get it for Easter, Easter Bunny and Santa usually spoils her. Her hair is getting long and her belly is still this cute little pooch. All her teeth are just about in, thank goodness and as soon as she is done with that part Brayden's will start. Golly!!! She wants to wear her red glitter shoes nonnie got her, the ones that look like Dorothy's on Wizard of OZ, she will eventually get to the stage I will have to let her wear them with that green pair of shorts, lol. So cute she is. She takes all the small worries right out of our minds.

Her and Brayden will finally soon have their own play room and can't wait! Anthony wants to decorate in Giants of course and I really don't care how it gets decorated, but he knows I am not giving up the toys, lol.

Crazy Wow times

We have been crazy busy looking at houses and then trying to keep the house clean to sell, I just miss my life with my kids every night and no worries. I gave many things to my God box lately and I should prob do that again, just kind of weird about asking God to take care of my petty problems, so many things going on in our country and world wide I need to be praying about.

Payton and Brayden just continue to be the bestest of friends, Payton tries changing his diapers and it literally makes me tear to see that unforgetful smile that Brayden only does when she comes around- man that is something sweet to see. I could have many of them two- and I am not joking, every where I go I get the "man you have great happy babies" and I love it!

Long weekend....

What does it mean when somebody says long weekend, because mine are long but short all in one- bitter sweet. Wonderful time with, J, Kel and Trin. Brayden was a sweet little angel, thinking he was liking all the girl attention and when Trin was holding him, he might of liked being close to pretty little Sloane still in her tummy. Was so cute to listen to the girls talk about how they will be when their babies get here, "my kids are never sleeping with me", "I am going to work out every day"- very cute when I know every single one of them's little heart is going to melt all over and become little saps!! Payton played tea party and so well by herself most of the day Sunday, bubba hasn't been feeling well and daddy was worn out from tournaments. She she joined me with Target fun and I got home too late so daddy was mad at me. Got Payton a few summer things and Brayden too. Gosh nothing like spending money on those cute little outfits!! Can't wait for Easter this year. Payton will be all over the place. Last year we put marshmellows her eggs so she would be excited about finding the eggs. I saved the outfit I had her in because it was too cute I couldn't let it go. She will be big this year and I bet just bet she will be able to say "bunny" or "egg". She is really talking so much better. She was so good yesterday until she realized bubba had been sleeping too long and I couldn't get to her before she wacked him with a rattle while he was asleep on the couch, oh gosh I could have squeezed her over it!!!! Time out she cried, so for the most part I know she knows she did something wrong. She signed sorry with big alligator tears coming down. Little man smiled after he realized mommy was holding him. Gosh they are rotten, both of them. He slept pretty good until 4:45 in his big boy bed again and went right back to sleep after a good bottle. They are both pretty good sleepers in there beds, blessed! Last week was waring him not sleeping much. He is just smiling and cooing and just talking and just played with Baily on Saturday night. Baily licked him and he wanted to pull her hair so bad. Can't wait for Baily to see her new baby brother or sister. So precious.

Soooooooo Big!....

Little guy slept in his crib for the first time, not sure if he would have slept all night- he slept on Anthony until 1am and then went to his crib and slept until 6:30, I am thinking that might be the problem- he is too big for the cradle now and no space. He looks so cute in his little car decor, I sure missed him though. As soon as he cried this morning, he was right back in bed with a bottle with mommy. I miss them both today, working to catch up on hours.

Last night Payton had play date with Jordy, they play so well together these days, well that is if Payton doesnt' hit, lol. I think Jordyn was doing better with hitting and Payton came back in the picture and taught her to do that again- not so funny but funny at the same time. They had a good time together. Payton must have been out of her mode because she didnt' eat until we got home. She is usually pretty tired after daycare, antoher reason why I think little guy slept better. Seriously thank goodness for Donna and her structure! Love to get me a good night sleep.

Payton's blood results came back great, a little anemic but she has a cold so they think that is what dropped her score a point. She is amazing, I can't believe how well she is doing- actually I can beleive it. She is her own little person, sure love her. Brayden is growing so fast, I can't keep up. He needs new pajamas and pants already. Anthony sometimes puts new born socks on him and jumpers that are way too small, lol. Such a cute and very good daddy. He had his first soccer tournaments today- first games too. He has been texting me the score, he has a pretty good team this year!! Hope they go far, Anthony would be pumped!! So happy for him to be doing what he loves. Can't wait to see my babies play sports. I think for the most part little payton will be in swimming, basket ball or dance. She here lately loves putting the balls in the hoops and trying to throw them in bucket from far away in her bath- too cute.

Not much happening this weekend, get to see JB and her tummy and Trinity and her tummy tonight. Happy all four my girls finally get to experience the mommy world. Can't wait to find out if I am having a new Anderson nephew or neice- going to squeeze him/her to death!! ahhh so excited, kind of hoping for a boy, Brayden needs more boys.

Funny!...

As I read last blog, I laugh and think it is so funny- because since then I have been so crazy and so busy. Not much relaxing going on in my house this last week and little Brayden has decided he is done sleeping through the night apparently. He is getting so big and mobile, moving all around and will be sitting on his own and crawling before my eyes!! He stayed with aunt kelly yesterday and was very good while we went to get payton's annual blood tests. Boy did I and my mom chase that little stinker all over the hospital. Auntie Sheryl helped with the drawing of the blood and Payton took it like a champ. Anthony took her last year and I hear he didn't belong there. She apparently didn't do well and Anthony cried more than her, lol. He is such a great daddy. Payton ran all over and talked to everybody and then she would turn and take one look at mom or me and run for the hills giggling the entire way. She finally ate pizza last night, new bribery- just pretend Brayden is eating it and likes it and she will try it. Cracks me up. Her and Brayden have a small cold and I guess their friends at daycare do too. I hate it when they get icky, that may be way little man is not sleeping well. Went and got mommy and me pictures taken for the DSA calendar, Payton was a mess there too and Brayden cried, because that is what Brayden does. He wants his momma all the time. I think for the most part they turned out pretty cute. Had a great outfit picked out and last minute changed my mind, then that shirt got spit up on so had to change again. I think they will turn out okay, lol. So funny how I look back to yesterday and was so crazy all over the place and today I just laugh at it- wouldn't give up it for the world!

Still trying to get the house sold and so annoying- if it doesn't work out I am not sure where we will put all these toys. I think they are good for the kids and Anthony says they are driving him up the wall!!!

Kido's are going to Nana Carol's and Jerry's for some play time while I make up hours here at work. Praying they play good and Payton doesn't spit breakfast food out on anybody, lolololol. We will see.

Such a calm evening...

Last night was not like most nights, for some reason I think we were all tired and just wanted to relax. After bath time the kids layed down and we all relaxed. All asleep by 9:00 and it baby boy slept until 5:15. Wonderful Wonderful catch up sleep night.

It was hard putting Brayden back in his cradle this morning after he ate and went right back to sleep, I usually hold him until I have to hop in the shower. He is getting so big and just the cutest little thing. Nothing like your babies snuggled in your arms sleeping. It is alway sweet when they smile in there sleep as well. He is a pretty sweet boy, he does a lot of whining and wimpering, most of the time just fake because he is like his daddy and doesnt have much patience waiting on his food. His hair is finally growing in at the top but the back is still bald as can be- just like the way Payton's was. For the most part it is coming in light, blondish so I am sure he and Payton will have the same hair color, which I so love!!!!! Kind of a dirty blonde that shines in the sunlight.

Covered Payton up this morning and laid her clothing out for daycare. I miss them so much all the time. I am going to be busy today at work so that always helps. Most of the time I wonder if I am going to regret being away from them this much while they are so little. Payton is just doing so much now and seems like she learns something new every day if not one new thing a couple of new things. If she was a tad taller she would know how to open the doors. She steps up on her step stool brushes her teeth (well really chews on the brush and eat the toothpaste) and then she turns the light on and off giggling. She cracks me up. This is the only way I can get her to let me blow dry her hair and brush it, then put it up in her normal pony on top. She was sweet allowing Brayden to get in the tub with her, I walked in there and she stood up with excitement and yelled "bubba"- then of course when he got in there she did the routine pouring water on him and washing his toes and feet. She has this thing with washing her feet and his feet right now. And ears for some reason.

Will be off early tonight, so looking forward to getting home to my babies and hubby for another night of American Idol and relaxing, well we will see if it goes that well, lol.

Momma's Boy vs Daddy's Girl....

Got home last night and was welcomed by Payton who was very excited to see me, she was so sweet- she has been jumping in my arms and hugging me and laying her head on one side and then popping up and laying her head on the other side- like she has to give me two hugs-lol. She is so much fun and seriously cracks me up! She does something new everyday that makes me laugh.

I realized little Brayden had a little knot on his head, why should I have even asked- but yes Anthony said Payton hit him with a rattler. Not sure why she keeps doing this and not sure how to control it- she is constantly in time out for it and 80% of the time she is kissing him and playing with him so you never know when to expect it. Brayden took one look at me and just started bawling- he loves his momma so much. Anthony laughs and rolls his eyes- but now he knows how I felt when Payton was a baby. She loved her daddy so much and he would rock her every night like I rock Brayden. So cute. Anthony sat on one couch with Payton and I sat on the other with Brayden while we watched Wheel of Fortune. Every few minutes I would look over to Payton and she would turn to Anthony and pat him then look at me and say "my dada". Cracks me up. I just told her "okay thats your dada".

Payton is not just riding her 4 wheeler but I think for the most part she is learning how to steer it. Anthony said he was making lunch and at the corner of his eye there she went around the corner down to the door. I can't wait for the weather to get better so we can all go for the ride in the wagon! That will be so fun. I can see it now, I am sure Payton will try to pull it instead of riding in it- she seems to be the boss lately. Anthony taught her to say "Yay!" and instead of running around singing "row row row" she was on her "Yay" kick all night. Everything was yay, even when she fell it was a "Yay" time. At one point in time bubba started to cry and she shook her finger saying "no no no", we all laughed but then she made her way to the back door, yep it has been a while since she looked for Kya- she looked out there and Anthony and I sadly just keep reminder her no puppies back there anymore. I wish this weather would go away and I am waiting for the time to heal our hearts. I think there is def a part of Anthony and I that thinks the house is lonely with out a dog, or maybe just without Kya. Can't wait to sell it and get something bigger, maybe we can start over one day with another husky. We will see what Payt and Brayden want.

Little man woke up at midnight but then slept until about 6:30. We usually put a blanket over his mobile or my robe to keept he TV light out, while getting dressed I hear this big laughing giggle- Anthony and I burst in to laughter, boy was he in a good mood this morning. So sweet and cute. He is rotten and so is Payton! Payton sits in front of him and reads her books- oh gosh this is anther video I would post if I could-that is simply the cutest thing ever. Brayden just sits there banging his arms up and down or chewing on his fingers drooling and Payton is jibber jabbering away turning pages like it ain't no thing to read a book, gosh I love it!

Payton actually didn't fight us this time laying down, I think she was too exhausted. She didn't have much of a nap and it was almost 9 before she made it to sleep. I didn't get to see her today, but gave bubba an extra kiss to give to her. I hope they have a great day at daycare and can't wait to see them tonight. Tuesday night- gymboree night but the weather is still acting up, hmmmm wonder if we will make it. Hope so.

Tea party'n all day!

Another wonderful Sunday with miss Payton and mister Brayden. Payton was in the best mood and she really is growing closer to Brayden. Loving the bath time with those two and he helps keep her occupied while I wash her hair and she keeps him occupied while really it can be kind of cold in the seat he sits in. They are sure cute together. I picture Brayden growing up to be this sweet handsome man and for the most part it will be because of his older sister. They stayed with Nonnie and P on Saturday while I dress shopped with aunt Natalie, we got the flower girl dresses and OMG cannot wait to see her in it. Hoping she will walk down the isle and not run or talk to the peeps in the chairs, lololol. Yesterday we played tea party, we don't play as well as Pa and Payton play together, but we get close. She sat Dede down ( her huge doll that looks a lot like Jayce- thats what Anthony calls her) and she fed Dede, creme, sugar, tea, cookies- you name it. We played and played, of course every time I would pick something up for myself, she would say "mine"- trying to teach her to share. Brayden and Daddy eventually made in in there, half time of New England vs Colts- 2010 superbowl (New England won :( ), and we all played tea party. So fun and couldn't stop laughing. I wonder when Payton will get old enough to say "stop laughing at me" because that is pretty much all we do with her- she is such a ham. We are using time out and it has become a game I think. She sits in time out and sticks her nose in the corner for maybe 5 seconds- then she turns around with her crinkled up nose and holds her hands out and says "momma" or "dada" and it melts your heart. We are getting better with it though. Thursday I may pancakes and she was banging on the oven door, annoyed I told her to stop and give me a few minutes to make her pancakes- she then raced over to her table and chairs and pushed her chair up against the oven door to get up there and watch me make pancakes. Anyway, I thought that was pretty smart. She has a step stool, but she knew she could use that chair instead. Another thing that surprised me (and I am not sure why I under estimate her, because she is super smart) I was playing with bubba's truck that you push down and when you let go it races across the floor- well it wasn't working well on the carpet and miss thing went over and put it on the ceremic instead. Its like she knew the carpet is holding her up so she took it over to the kitchen floor, anyway- might sound silly to some people, but I thought it was pretty smart.

Brayden is getting so big, he is such a cutie pie. He sat in his bouncer while I attempted getting our taxes done and just giggled and talked. He would pop his body (he is so strong) in and out and I would have to push him back up or he was eventually going to slide on out of there. Anthony and Payton ended up in our bed, fast asleep and how cute it was. She is really in that phase of crying and throwing a fit when she goes to bed at night, so we are pretty much letting her fall asleep with us and then putting her in her bed. She is so great at nap time, but night time forget it! Brayden took his time going to bed, but made fell asleep on my sholder while I rocked him in his room around 10:30pm and was still sleeping hard at 6:45 this morning when I left for work. How we were blessed with great babies, I am not sure- but they both are wonderful. For the most part well mannered- Payton is doing great sitting at her table until her food is all gone and she is signing "thank you" and "please" very well. She also has learned to sign sorry without asking. She is awnry and will try to hit bubba and I will look at her and she will sign sorry- she knows what my looks mean, lol. She still runs around with a baby wipe or dryer sheet and pretends she is cleaning, man does she love to do that, lol. She cleans bubbas feet and ears in the bath too. He just laughs at her all the time. He is constantly looking for her. His little legs are getting so fat and chunky, I just want to eat them. Again great weekend and love my babies dearly!

Snowing again- third time this winter. Thinking it is a record for Oklahoma. Love the snow and happy Payton gets to play in it but ready for it to be over too. Makes it dangerous to get my babies around and most of the time we pack up and go to Nonnie's incase our electric goes out. Not that Payton wouldn't mind that at all, but mommy doesn't get much sleep that way.
