It's Been a While...

So! It's been a while...I won't bother giving excuses. Well I'll give just one. I've been too busy reading every night to update, so I'm doing it during the day this time. The girls are all doing well. Laynie starts kindergarten next week, she is excited, but also pretty nervous. Riley starts preschool in two weeks, so then I will have 3 mornings a week with just Peyton. How weird it will be to be with only one kid! And how easy. :)
So, I have lots of pics to share...the first 2 are from a "movie night" we did a couple weeks ago. We moved the ottoman and set up a blanket on the floor and all watched the Bee Movie. I admit, I didn't want to watch it because I am sooooo not a Jerry Seinfeld fan. But I really enjoyed it! So did the girls.

These are of Peyton in her first nightgown (which was Laynie's). Of course, it was too chilly in her room for her to actually sleep in it (I also have a sneaking suspicion I would find her without her diaper on), but we got a few cute pics.




And of course, Peyton loves her sunglasses!

Ready to ride her bike!



One of Peyton's favorite meals, Ramen noodles. I'm not sure if there's any nutritional value (except 3 days worth of sodium), but she sure loves them!

She wanted to wear the headband while she ate breakfast.


Tuesday we went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa...the girls had fun. They pretended to milk a cow, build buildings, saw dinosaurs, and Laynie and I went in a hurricane booth. I'll have to get that pic from my Dad!!











Finally, Peyton is now walking! She's been trying for a while now, and a couple weeks ago reached the point where she doesn't crawl anymore, she just gets back up and keeps going! It's so cute (well, to me anyway).


I won't even bother pretending I'll post soon...I plan on it...I should have some good pictures coming up with school starting. But we all know I'm a slacker. Maybe when I finish these books...

Way to go Peyton! That is so amazing to see her walking. I can't wait for Cole to start one day..he is far from that :) Your girls are all so cute. I have to admit I was wondering where ya'll had been, since there hasn't been an update in awhile! Glad to see you just have been busy enjoying life! Peyton is such a cutie...I'm thinking maybe future prom date for Cole?!? LOL

Great pictures! Your girls are adorable! Looks like a fun summer! I might have to fight Katie .... I think Caden wants to take Peyton to prom :o) So COOL that Peyton is walking! Caden at 16 months still is showing no signs of walking or standing (ugh!) the doctors tell me to be patient but I worry. Very cool that Peyton has big sisters to help her out! Enjoy the remaining days of summer!

I think we will forgive you for the late posts since you made up for it with great pictures and a video. I am so happy Peyton is walking! That is soooo great.
OK well Katie and Trish can fight it out, but since Preston is an older man and has prom first, maybe Peyton will have to go to the prom with him too!

I love it when you have new posts! You have such a darling family. Peyton is so doggone cute I can't stand it. I'm still hopeful that we'll actually get to meet.Only three months until Anne's wedding. I can't believe it's coming up so fast.
