This time last year....

This time last year I was in tears praying for my little man to come.  You see he was not easy giving labor to at all- started at 6am and lasted to 5:23pm.  Started out excited, all of 200lbs and heard being induced was a breeze.  Yep not in my world it wasn't!  My body was contracting but not dilating, finally we had to turn me over on my belly to suffocate him, then he flipped over and was born within 30 minutes.  7.14 and 20.75 inches long, my baby boy!!

Today is a great day, the weather is beautiful and I am so excited about spending dinner with our family.  Brayden's birthday party will be especially special because he is walking and finally saying "momma", well it is still a mumble but we can pretend.  Who'd a thought my son would say "cracker" and "night night" before "momma" hehe.  His birthday theme is "Lil Quarterback turning 1", so cute and of course Tosh is making the cake.  I am sure his big sister and him will fight over presents and she will open the majority of them and won't be surprised if she is kind of territorial over Gingerbread, lol.

Love my babies, can't believe I have two toddlers!!  As always, God is good all the time!

Payton vs Brayden

Well we are pretty lucky parents I would think- we have all girl and all boy.  Payton sure wanted Brayden to play dolls, feed the doll with her bottle and Brayden was after her all day to play trucks.  They are so cute together.  They were in such a great playing mode Anthony and I actually watched a movie in the living room will the played on the floor, that usually doesn't happen.  They are usually begging for our attention and one of us has to get down and read or something- but nope they played well together all weekend long.  Yesterday after dinner, I undressed payt put her in the bathroom and told her to go potty while I get bubba- on my way back I hear chiming coming from her potty chair, so proudly I get closer saying "yay Payton", I get to the doorway and nope- she was using the part of the potty chair you throw the pee out and scooping water out of the bath- she was putting it in her potty, in the big toilet and later I even found some in the trash can- yep!!!  I thought I was going to die!  Then I said "payt your getting  a spankin", she quickly put her little hands over her naked butt and hurried to hop over the side of the bath and jump in it, but she kind of slid making us all laugh- those two are a mess. 

Anthony is in love with Brystol and has decided he wants a third- we will see how long that lasts, lol.

What a wonderful weekend...

Friday night was wonderful, my mother surprised Anthony and I with an anniversary we soooo needed!  I miss him all the time!  To top it off, Brayden got up to 5 steps!!  That is walking in my book!!!  How wonderful to know I was the first to see that, seriously kills me to send my babies to daycare, you never know what you are missing out on.  Payt has a bit of a cold, allergies or something going on but she is still sweet as ever.  They had a blast at Nonnies and Papa's and slept right threw the night.  Aunt Carol and Uncle Jerry got her a bundle of balloons to congratulate her on the picture and that girl has carried them all around the house.  Watching her with them makes me think she really doesn't know what to do with them.  Kind of like when you buy a pretty plant and you are just not sure where you want it to go.  It is so cute.  She did share with her a bubba finally-

She is staying with aunt P this week until school starts.  They are working on the teddy bear and where the clothing's go.  Also we are hard core potty training!  Thank you Chas for the wonderful Potty Training Chart idea- I am going to try it!!!  Last night I painted her toe nails and finger nails for the first time, oh man did she think she was something!  Daddy went to play soccer and she went running around looking for him to show him, man does that baby love her daddy!  We laid down to go to sleep and she kept pulling them out and putting them in my face saying "nals momma", she was so proud.  Still can't believe I had such a prissy girl! 

Pretty girl getting ready to go to Walmart with P.  Her hair looks so long here and I just trimmed it!

Missing P!

So Payt is out of school for two weeks before the fall season starts and I think if I hear about "P" or "Tay Tay" or "RoRo" one more time I might just cry.  Payton misses them sooo much and I am pretty sure she doesn't know why she isn't going to see them right now.  Going to Donna's with her bubba has helped her with him though, she is really getting used to him being the little baby, well I say that- he is huge! And she is so helpful when I arrive.  Used to I would carry one at a time to the car or both in my arms, now I can have her grab the bag, hold my hand and bubba in the other hand.  I open the car door without her running, lol, and she hops right up in there and gets most of her car seat buckled.  Brayden will be walking any day now, he is standing and now taking steps and then falls.  I can't believe how big my little man is getting.  We are now getting ready to take out his bath chair and lower his bed, bitter sweet.  He sure is a happy boy until he see's his momma and then he just wants all my attention.  He loves books just like Payton does and those two fight over everything, lol.  I think she likes him and just doesn't want to admit it, lol.  Just any day he will have the hang of his sippie cup too, boy is that bitter sweet!  I kind of miss holding him and giving him a bottle.  This is how people really have 3 kids, when the oldest one becomes such a big help!  Payton's appointment with Sooner Start was another bummer, her hearing test didn't go as well as we would have liked.  They will do them again here in a month.  She also is having some trouble with her right eye that we are having checked.  Hopefully nothing serious, which it has to be extremely bad for us to think it is serious, but hopefully this isn't and I am trying not to worry until we know for sure.  She did great on everything else though and just loves K (speech path), she sure had a lot to say to her this time. 

Tonight kids are staying with their Nonnie so me and daddy can celebrate our 6 year anniversary.  We have been together 9 years married 6 and for once I think it kind of feels like it.  Having two kids is rough, I am blessed to have such a wondeful man who loves being a dad.  He just wants to have kidos and play soccer and I just want to have kids and a career- not too much to ask is it, lol.  Looking forward to the Buddy Walk coming up, we are prepping for the garage sale and sending emails out left and right.  This is the time of the year that really makes you stop and remember what life is all about.  Thank you God for an amazing family!!  I am so blessed.

This says "Mom- hold me so glad to see you!" picking them up from daycare one day.

Caught Payt talking to Owen's picture, she loves her O!

My little winner!

My princess won the Photo Contest out of the Special Needs category!!! Just one of many winnings she will have!!  Soooo proud of her and she has come such a long way this summer at Gingerbread, she looks bigger, acts bigger and it just makes me so happy to see her succeeding!!  Daddy drops her off every day at Donnas, P picks her up from there- she has her routine down finally and doing so well!  Just so proud of her!!!!  yay paty.

Little man will take a step any day now!!  He is the sweetest, biggest little boy I have ever seen.  When I pick him up and stick my head through the window, he crawls just as fast as he can to get to me, the cutest little thing ever.  We are planning his birthday party, special first birthday.  I am sure I will bawl, lol. 

Millers Nationwide Photo Contest, Special Needs Catagory- First Place!!!

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!!!!!!!!

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.
