Snow day!

So one day Paytyn and I come back from the store to find Johnnie and Kriston outside building a snowman. Well Kriston building a snowman. I took Pay inside but of course she wanted to go back out to play. So I took her out and I while I went back in. Johnnie and Pay played outside it was a warm day(30's). She loves Johnnie's little truck.

Here they are with the finished snowman!

Another Picture. Paytyn follows Johnnie everywhere. Even when he doesn't want her to.

Just a cutie little picture of her. I will be posting our Christmas Photo's as well SO keep and eye out for them. We miss you all, and wish you a Very Merry Christmas! Love Maggie and Paytyn.

Oh life!

This is Paytyn and me at the ward Christmas party. We had to match. It was a luau. It was fun, Paytyn had fun playing with Johnnie and the rest of the kids. She loved playing with the hula hoop. She was having so much getting into whatever she could. But she wasn't getting hurt so I didn't stop her.

Paytyn went to a birthday party. She loved the little red car. Whenever we go to a toy store and there are little red cars out....She of course has to get in and drive it around. It takes at least 10mins to get her away from the car when we have to leave. She has a little red car waiting for her in UT. I know she is going to love it. When we left she was to little to play in it, now that I see she can push herself around I think she will be ready for it. She didn't play in the ball pit, and I didn't want her sucking on all the balls. SO I snapped a picture and took her out.

Swings&Ducks!

So last week the weather was BEAUTIFUL! So I took Paytyn and Johnnie to the park to enjoy the warm weather and to get outside.....and to give Kriston a break. Well there were Ducks at the park! So of course we had to go have a closer look. Johnnie thought he should try and take off his shoe's to go swimming with the ducks. Paytyn and Johnnie were shouting with joy when we saw the ducks! They loved the ducks. At first both wanted to get really close, but then when two ducks got out of th water both of them got a little scared. The had fun watching the ducks. I told them we could come back (with bread), but its been raining ever since that day!
Here is Johnnie and Paytyn shouting at the ducks.
Here is Pay and Johnnie. She is "getting" him with her feet. They both thought it was pretty funny. I thought It was too.
Here is Pay just taking a rest. She does like playing outside.
Paytyn just driving around. She is Playing in Johnnie's truck. She liked it but didn't get that she had to put here feet up if I was going to push her. But she still liked it.

Bangs!

My little cheese ball! Okay so Paytyn and I are visiting NY. We are having so much fun with cousin Johnnie, Aunt Kriston,Uncle Court,Grandpa, and Nonna. But Nonna didn't think Paytyn could see with all that hair in front of her eye's. Well when Nonna would see her it was later at night so I wouldnt have her up. I have been thinking about cutting her hair, for a little while now. So I let Nonna cut her some bangs the other night. She is so stinkin' cute with them!These are the best pictures I could get of her. She is not a girl that sits down and takes pictures. She would rather be playing with the camera taking your photo. And Yes I know we still need to fix her bangs.

Halloween 2009

OKay so this year it was very cold this whole week. So when Halloween came around I thought it would be cold. So I borrowed another costume that was a little warmer. She was a Kangaroo! It was so cute. She even had a little baby joey! We went to the Mall with Bree and Toby to go trick or treating! It was so much fun to see all the costumes. Paytyn even liked holding her basket for candy.

Here we are trying to get a picture of her. She didnt like the hood very much.

We stopped and played for a little bit. I think she liked playing the best. But what kid doesnt.

This is one of the best pictures I could get of her in her costume.

Birthday's part 2

We had a scary Halloween costume party for Paytyn's birthday. Here are the cakes we had. Jim picked them out. They were awesome. Paytyn went crazy for her little cake.

Paytyn with her gifts! She is such a cheese ball. She loved all of her toys and is having fun with all. I love to dress her up in the clothes!

Okay so the pinata was on a stick. But one kid gave it a good whack and broke off the part that held it on the stick. So here is Jim being a good sport holding the pinata while the little ones hit it! My brother and another friend broke the pinata.

Here is Paytyn getting the whack. She had fun watching everyone then doing it.

Here we are opening her presents. She is so cute!

Birthday!

Okay so today is Paytyn's 1st birthday! Ive been looking forward to this and dreading it. Just a year ago I had a tiny 7lbs 11oz 19 and half inches. Now she is 29 inches and 19lbs (she was at the doctor today for a check up). Here is Pay and I at Gardner village. Jim had a BYU game on Saturday to go to. So me and 2 girls from work went to see the witches at Gardner village. Paytyn had fun walking around like she owned the place.She is getting to big! I love watching her play and grow. I'm so blessed to be her mom. She has brought more joy and laughter in my life then I ever thought possible. She makes me smile at least once a day.

Okay so Paytyn loved her party balloons, She loved them so much she though she would walk around with them.She is so stinking cute!

Paytyn eating her cake at her party. It was a fun day! She dressed up in her lady bug costume for her party. Everyone dressed up. But of course we had a small problem....Her party went very well, but there was another party planned in our club house that day. The party before us thought they were the only one's in the club house that day. So about an hr after her party the "other Party" started checking up on us to see if we were done with the club house cause they had to set up. Well then they ask Jim if they could have our balloons! He said no of course. Then when we were doing the pinata, they came in to the club house and requested that we leave in the next half hr! We told them we had the club house til 4 and will be out before that. But all and all it was a fun party!

Here is My baby just a year ago she has changed so much!

Halloween

Okay okay, I know I still have a few weeks until Halloween, but I borrowed a costume for Paytyn. I got it yesterday at work so I had to try it on her today! She looked so cute! I love this costume. She is such a cheese ball she loved playing dress up.

She is so cute with her baby dolls! Paytyn gets wipes, or napkins and cleans! its so funny to watch her wipe her slide or her babies. and if im in the kitchen cleaning she comes in and helps, by wiping the floor. She is such a little cleaner! I love it.

Just one last picture! Like I said she doesn't sit still for pictures! But she is still just as cute as a bug!

Pictures!

So Ive been trying to get some pictures of Paytyn. She is such a little cheese ball that I can't get her to sit still for a picture at all! I love spending time with her in the mornings. She has been sleeping in til 10am! I do like it cause I get to sleep in but then I don't have much time with her due to naps and what not. But she does love playing with her friends while I go to work. Yesterday I asked her if she wanted to go play with Laney and Lexie and she had HUGE smile on her face! I love that she is happy and well taken care of. We have had a lot of things happen and we are just so blessed to have Paytyn safe and well taken care of. She is going to be one in less then a few weeks! Jim and I were looking at paytyn's birth pictures the other day. I can't believe how fast this year has gone and how fast Paytyn has grown. She loves drinking from a straw and she now knows how to flush the toilet. Which she thinks is fun to do when we are in the bathroom.

Here is a picture of Paytyn not letting me take a good picture.

And another one where she is trying to escape!

This is the best picture I go out of Paytyn today. I will be trying more this weekend! I can't believe how much fell in love with Paytyn. I love her more and more each day. She comes and sits on my lap, she likes listening to music, and She has 6 teeth now! She loves her baby dolls, Which she hugs and pats on the back. She hates getting dressed. She likes her sippy cup.I have so much fun with her!

What's New!

Paytyn is getting to big! I know I haven posted anything new in a while. With going back to work (full-time), and trying to keep up with paytyn. Its been hard. But I know Jim loves spending more time with Pay. She really thinks its time to play when Jim is around. She follows him as soon as he walks in the door. Its so fun to watch. Paytyn has been walking for about a month now! She loves mac -n-cheese. She shakes her head no... and today she has been shacking her head yes! She likes waffles and playing! She still doesn't like sitting and watching TV....which I love! She is always on the go. Just moving, moving, moving. She is always trying to figure out something new. She can go up and down the stairs. And for Halloween we still aren't sure what she should be....Its between tinker bell or a lady bug..... Here is our little goofball. She is such a cheesy girl when it comes to taking photo's.

Paytyn picked out her own clothes this day. I know these photo's are a little old but its what e have that's new.

Paytyn had a diaper rash a few weeks ago. SO I let her play without a diaper to air out the area...Well she pooped on the rug. That was okay with Jim....He got a mini carpet cleaner and came home and cleaned it up. I will try and keep up with this better. We have a few fun things planned in the next few weeks....some one's first birthday is coming up...so sad and exciting all at the same time!

STANDING!!

Paytyn has been doing so much new stuff! It seems like every time I turn around she is doing something new. She can crawl to the top of the stairs, and as soon as she gets to the top she goes into our room(Jim and mine), and goes right to my nightstand. I have to put the baby gate up or else she is up the stairs before I know it. Now, she has been standing for a while. She loves walking along the furniture. On Wednesday (august 18th) she started standing without holding on to anything. She just stands up like she is about to walk way. She is starting to wave hello and good-bye, you just have to tell her. Some of her favorite food is mac-n-cheese, chicken nuggets, Shepard's pie, and pasta (of course). She is growing to fast! We went to the doctor on Friday she is 10% for her weight,50% for her height, and 5% for her head! She is just a little peanut. But she is growing so the doctor is not worried. We went to Army Family fun day! It was not fun. We sat in the shade, and talked with Jim and his army buddies. We had to leave early cause, Jim had a HUGE flood he got called too.He left Saturday at 3pm and he came home Sunday at 7pm! I went and gave him new clothes on Sunday morning. Our summer has flown by! Jim starts school on Wednesday!! I'm excited for him, he is done with school in December! So look for your party invites in the mail. That's all I can really think is new with us.

$2 tuesdays!

Okay so in August at thanksgiving point all the events are $2 on Tuesday. This exhibit is the Dinosaurs. It would usually cost about $10 a person. So we had to go when it was only $2. Paytyn liked playing with her cousins, and touching everything. When we got home she didn't want to take a nap she just wanted to play with her cousins.

Here is Paytyn with her cousins, and Toby a boy that I watch 3 days a week. They were all having fun playing together.( Corban,Sydney,Paytyn,Toby, and Rachel)

So last week we got Chuck the duck and Ava the Chick. They are just visiting our house for a little bit but Paytyn can't get enough of them. She wants to touch them and see them whenever he can. She wont let me help pet them, She wants to do it on her own. Like everything she does it has to be on her own.

Here we are at the petting zoo at Thanksgiving point. This was another Tuesday fun day. Paytyn loved riding the Horse. Last time she rode the horse she didn't like it at all. But this time she pet a horse before and loved it. She was smiling and laughing.

Here is Pay petting a HUGE horse. She is scared of dogs, but she couldn't get enough of this horse. Its a good thing, since Jim promised her 2 pony's already. She had so much petting all the animals.

Fun summer's.

So this past week Jim's family came to visit us from Arkansas. We went to the the Spanish Fork carnival and fireworks. We had tons of fun. So of course I had to dress up. When your in Spanish fork its okay to wear cowboy boots.

So here we are at the fireworks. Paytyn liked watching them til she fell asleep! She was laying down with me then she just fell asleep. What baby falls asleep during the fireworks. We so much fun.

Here is our cheese ball girl and her cousin Kassidy. Jim's Family wanted to see temple square so we took pictures of the girls as well. Paytyn is such a cheese ball.

The week of the 4th of July, Hogle zoo was giving free admission to anyone with a Military ID. So Paytyn and I had to go. We had so much fun with our friends that came with us.

Ok so about a month before Micheal Jackson passed away we saw him in Las Vegas. So of course we had to get our picture with him! We had such a good time in Vegas we need to spend more time there. Jim wasn't able to come with us. So next time he will be with us. He needs a vacation.

Some of Our summer,

So this summer has been to busy!! Every weekend we have something going on! It has been non-stop! I have pictures on a few different camera's, I am working on getting them all on to one computer. These are some of the pictures I have. Yeah I know only 2. Like I said I'm working on it. This top picture is All of us at the Nephi rodeo. Living in UT I have come to like going to rodeo's you get to dress up and see lot of different types of people. Paytyn had fun going back and forth between people. That is her new favorite game going back and forth to mom and dad. But she ends up with mom. She is such a mama's girl right now. She even fell asleep for a little while.

Here is Pay and me at the zoo. It was a good day for the zoo. It wasn't to hot when we got there and didn't start to get hot til we were leaving. Chelsea,Bailee,Brittany,Blair, Colbie and Toby all came with us. It was such a fun day. Paytyn was being good. She saw a lot a new animals.
