Wow, A mini-me!

How funny are these... Peyton sure does look like me at the same age! The only thing she needs is dark hair and bigger teeth! She doesn't have her eyebrows up but when she does it, I'm always amazed!! How cute! Hope you enjoy!

Leaves!

Today we decided to go outside and take some pictures in the leaves. Peyton was amazed at them... even tried to eat a few! She loves outside!

Happy Halloween!

Today was a big day for Peyton. We met Daddy at work for lunch and to hand out candy. Then we went to Mom's work at CMC to hand out candy! One of the nurses decided Peyton needed her first candy, a sucker! She knew exactly what to do with it too. It was fun to see her eat the sucker all the way down to the Tootsie Roll middle. She cried when we took it away! When we got home, we took some pictures outside our house on haybales and got to share her new favorite treat with Daddy!

A new treat!

Sadness after the sucker was gone!

Crawling Girl!

Well it is official! Peyton is mobile... crawling everywhere!!! She is too funny and is even trying to walk on her hands and feet instead of knees. We don't think it will be too long until she is walking.


Here are some funny pics and a video of her!

Trunk or Treat

We had a busy weekend this last one! We had card night at our house on Friday and my Mom and Aunt LaQuinta came up so that they could keep Miss P on Saturday while we went to the awful UT vs Alabama game and so that they could see her cute Halloween costume!

This past Sunday night our church had "Trunk or Treat". We always dress up and decorate our trunk as a theme with last year being the Wizard of Oz and this year, Charlotte's Web! Peyton had a cute little piggy costume so she went as Wilbur and I went as Fern the main character! We had a blast decorating our barn and she enjoyed seeing all the other kiddos dressed up. Our good friends, the Morris', even came up from Mississippi while they were on vacation to join our festivities!

We had a wonderful time and loved giving out candy to kiddos in our community. Peyton was even on the mailer sent out to every household in Bellevue! I hope to scan a picture of it later and post it!

Isn't my piggy cute??

Our 'trunk' decorated like a barn!

The Homecoming queen

Last week was an exciting one for Peyton. Early last week she began sitting in her big girl high chair!!!!!!!!!!! It was one my Aunt, Bonnie gave us and is very similar to the one I had!


Then on Friday the 3rd, whe went to her first football game in Dickson. Her cousin, Emily was Homecoming Queen and we dressed Miss P in their colors that are similar to those of Auburn. Peyton loved the lights and seeing the players run on the field as you can see from her first picture with Dad! She squealed with the cheerleaders too.


On Saturday, we watched a little football from home and then went to a bonfire at our friend, Keegan's house. He had the band members over along with his friends and family and they provided our entertainment. The sherrif deputy even came, but HA, there is no noise ordinance in Arlington aka tha boonies! Peyton loved the fire and snuggling in our blanket!!!!

Peyton's favorite new thing

Who knew that a basket was so much fun??? Peyton has been trying to get into my laundry basket for some time and I decided to bring her toys upstairs in a basket! She didn't know what to think about it at first, but now loves it. Such a simple thing that brings her much joy!

Looking into the basket and trying to eat it too!

Picking out a toy or two

Early this morning picking out her guitar!

Mom and Dad's day out

The Orange Family

On Saturday the 20th, Peyton's "B" came to visit and kept her while Stephen and I enjoyed a day out in Knoxville. I say "enjoyed", as we had a good time but the UT game was awful! UT really is playing bad this year.

Peyton had a good time playing with her "B" and we had a much needed day together. I can't wait for Peyton to be able to go to the games. I just hope she loves football as much as we do!

What A Big Girl!!!!

Seven months have gone by too fast...

Wow, our baby girl is 7 months and on her way to eight months!!!! The time has passed by so fast. We have enjoyed every moment of being parents and are looking forward for all the new things to come. Peyton is a champ at rolling everywhere, will sit up on her own, and is even trying to crawl. She is so cute rocking back and forth on all 4s! We now officially have a tooth too!
It is hard to believe that a half a year has come and gone. I am sad to see the baby stages going by so fast but am thankful everyday to our Lord and Savior that she is a healthy girl, growing and maturing as she should! She still enjoys a little snuggle time on mommy's days off and is learning to give "loves" as mommy says or "sweet kisses" to daddy. What a joy she is in our lives! What did we do without her? It is a wonderful thing to see her exploring her world and take in everything she sees. She is quite the nosy rosy and doesn't miss anything... any little noise or new thing coming into view! I hope to continue this blog and put some pics on here on my next day off!
Until then.....

Wow

It's official...we've joined the blog network!!!! I decided to set this up so that family and friends can catch up on what our family is doing and to see how fast Peyton is growing!!!!! I'll compose a real post later!
