Merry Christmas!!! (aka it's about time!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Since it's been forever since I posted (Easter!!) I guess I should catch everyone up first :)

Laynie started 2nd grade this year-she is doing great! I swear, this kid was made for school. She is still skating and is playing soccer now too-she's great at it! I love watching her play-she definately did not get her athleticism from her mom, that's for sure. Riley is in pre-k and is doing well. She missed the kindergarden cutoff by 1 day...which at first frustrated me, but now I think it will be good for her to be the oldest. She is also playing soccer, which really just means she runs around a lot and kicks the ball if it happens to go by. She has fun though, so that's good. Peyton is in preschool 5 mornings a week, she is doing great! She loves all the kids and has a ton of fun. I do think she is starting to realize that she is shorter than the other kids and I'm getting a lot of comments from her about wanting to be taller, and "when I'm big like Laynie"...I try to answer her honestly but she just doesn't get it at her age. I'll take any input on that one that is offerred! She is also doing dance class, which she LOVES!

Unfortunately she had a sleep study in November, and she is having her tonsils and adenoids out this Thursday. I feel bad she has to go through it but I know it's needed. Still not easy though!

Keith and I are doing well! I was so busy with school this past semester it was crazy. I still love it, but all the studying was getting to me. I only have one semester left-unbelieveably!! I go back on the 11th of January and finish in May. Only 5 months to go til I'm an RN!! :)

Sorry for the book! I will leave you with pictures from the last couple of weeks! We had a great Christmas this year! Lots of fun with family and as always it was a great time!

Happy 3rd Birthday Peyton!

Today was Peyton’s 3rd birthday!  It was kind of sad in a way that my last baby is already 3.  The time has just flown by.  She has grown into such a sweet girl, I just love her to pieces.  She goes to preschool 2 mornings a week and loves it.  She always talks about her “kids”.  We had a bbq today for her and for Easter-it was a great time!  Peyton got some great presents, I didn’t get pictures of all of them yet though.

The girls colored Easter eggs Friday night…

To start off today the girls checked out their baskets and found eggs!  Then Pey opened her presents from us.

 

             

Later in the day we had a party for Peyton, complete with another egg hunt for the girls and their cousins Jack and Aiden – followed by some pool time!

                  

Finally, here are some pics of the awesome cake Aunt Rosemary made and some family ones…enjoy!

      

Thanks for making it through the mountain of pictures :)  I also have some beach ones…but I’ll spare you!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday!!
