Okay so Brittany made me a Birthday cake. It was so yummy! Here it is. Megan (Brittany's way cute room mate), decorated it. I love stars. So for a month or two I've wanted a hair cut, a cute one. And I wanted to dye my hair more to its natural color. So with cousin Megan in town, Brittany and I got hair cuts. Here is my new Birthday do. Thanks Megan it looks so good!This is Pay blowing bubbles. She really likes bubbles. She handed me her bubbles today after lunch, so we went outside to blow bubbles. Of course I could only blow bubbles for so long before Paytyn wanted to do it by herself. Then Kahlen joined us and Kayhen it was a party!Here is Kahlen and Paytyn blowing bubbles. Paytyn follows K. Its fun to watch Paytyn play with other kids. K is helping Pay with her bubbles. I really liked having K here to play with Paytyn, I kow Paytyn gets board playing with me all the time.Paytyn not really getting how to blow bubbles. She still had fun doing it. She doesnt listen to me when I try to tell her or show her how to blow the bubbles. So this past weekend the California cousin came to spend the night with us. Here is K and lil C. Yes that is a babydoll stroller. It was funny to watch this. We had a great day with the cousin. Hopefully they will be back in the next day or so......

Birthday Celebrations....

Okay so this is how my day started....Jim telling me "Happy Birthday" then cuddling for the next hr. No I didn't open my eye's or say anything....I have to tired to move. After I slept in til 745, I thought okay I need to get up and start getting ready for the day. Paytyn woke up and Jim took care of her. I got Pay off to daycare and I headed to work. At work I got taken out to lunch. At Zupas! I love Zupas....so good! I had to work late and Jim had Army so we didn't make any plans to do anything. After work I headed to Brittany's to pick up Paytyn. Who was fast asleep on the couch. Then I got a call from Jim, telling me I should be home getting ready to go out to dinner. He arranged it with Brittany to watch Pay a little while longer. Then I came home changed and Jim took me to a wonderful dinner at Texas Road House......Ashton Joined us for my Birthday dinner. This is a picture from my Birthday dinner with my WONDERFUL husband. I'm a little surprised he didn't tell the waiter it was my birthday. After my dinner, Jim sent me to pick up pay while he was "cleaning" the guest room. After I got back from picking up pay. And Brittany trying her hardest to stall me. I came home to be lock out. I knocked on the door and head Jim run down the stairs, unlock the door and run back. When I open the door there was my present. A vacuum! Yes I did ask for a vacuum. Jim surprised me twice in one day. This is hard for him to do since I love surprises but when I know something is going to happen I try to find out what the surprise is. My husband is so awesome.  I had a wonderful Birthday! This is my new vacuum. Isn't it pretty! Thank you so Jim! You really are the world's greatest husband.

So on May 24th( I think), it snowed! Can you believe it!! When I got Paytyn out in all our snow gear it was so warm! We really didn't even need jackets.

One Day I was thinking cake would be nice for dessert. So Paytyn help me mix and frost it. She loved doing it. She loves helping. She is growing into a great little girl. Today I was looking at her and though wow she is no longer a baby. She has a strong personality. She wants what she wants.

When Paytyn was sick. She slept in my bed A LOT and those that really know her know she does not like sleeping in my bed. She likes her space and her bed. Well one Saturday she went upstairs climbed into my bed, got under the coves and thought it was nap time. So when it was way to quiet I went and checked on her, She was just laying in my bed. So I went and got her a bottle. I didn't think she would fall asleep in the bed. Usually she she plays. So when I went to check on her again. She was sleeping in the bed.

Summer '10

Okay so a few weeks ago we went to a wedding. It was such a fun pretty wedding. The Bride rode in on a horse drawn carriage. She loved it! This is the Bride and groom leaving the wedding. Paytyn went with her friend Toby, to wave good-bye. Toby was a great little babysitter. He played with Paytyn the whole time and she loved it!

Here is Pay and Toby. They were so cute together!

Okay so as some of you know Paytyn was sick last week. This is Saturday, we ended up at the doctor's and found out she had a double ear infection and upper respiratory infection. Well our home teacher stopped by with some cupcakes. And Paytyn was on our couch and seemed very sick....well she started to inch her way over to the table. She moved down the couch slowly, then to the  pop up chair, then she made it to the table, where she started to eat a cupcake! here she is after I moved the other 2 cupcakes so she didn't eat them all.

Summer 2010

Here is Pay at Thanksgiving point riding a pony. She was pretty much smiling the whole time, but when I would point the camera she would get shy. We saw lots of farm animals that day. Paytyn does know her animals sounds. But when she saw the animals for real she thought they all said "moo", so she would yell at them all "moooo". She was very excited to see the farm animals.

Pay standing next to a Sheep. I tried to get her to pet it. If I helped her she would do it, but she wouldnt do it by herself.

This is after Paytyn's First day of Nusery! She was a champ....with help from dad. Jim and I have just been released from nursey and they changed all the classes around, so Pay didnt know anyone, and was a little grumpy.

Paytyn is a fish when it comes to the pool. She can kick herself around. I am working with her to kick her legs and how to float. This picture was taken at her Aunt Mebritt's pool. She was very happy at the pool. When I took her to our pool, she was just learning how to jump in and climb in and out of the pool. She is a fast learner. I am working on counting to 10 and she know's how to count 1-2-3. And Jim and I are singing abc's with her. And somes times sings along.

So much!!

Okay so were do I began? Well I guess with this can of corn. Yes this stupid can of corn. One day when was clean Pay was playing in our pantry. And this can of corn fell on her head. She started bleeding and I know that head bleeds are the worse. But this wasn't someone else kid it was my baby. So I freaked out and took her to were I work and made sure she didn't need stitches. She didn't but it was still a pretty nasty little bump.

Her cut after it was cleaned up a little bit.

This is Charley. a very cute puppy! But he didn't last long at our house. I got him for free, and Jim didn't even know we had him! This is Paytyn feeding him. She really did like him. He was her size puppy. We had him for 24hrs. But I know that Jim really doesn't want a dog in this house so I figured he was not worth the fight. So I gave him to the Head Nurse that I work with and he seems to be doing very well......but don't get me wrong I am still working on getting a dog;)Now so of you might not know this but Paytyn is a dare devil/girly girl. She loves wearing dresses, jewelry, shoe's,but she also loves to climb and get into whatever she can. Here she is after she wanted me to put the curlers in her hair. She is getting bigger and talking a lot more She says, mama dad,Water baba,baby,shoe,hi,bye bye, cook,stuck, fish, Nonna(grandma in Italian), and a few more words I cant remember.  He likes to talk even when she doesnt know the words, she still try's.Last Sunday was her first day in Nursery. Jim picked her up and said she did very well. When I looked in on her, she was climbing  the table.Here she is at the zoo. Taking her places getting a ton funner. When we saw the baby elephant she just pointed got really excited and said "baby". This is her in the prairie dog look out thing. I think I liked seeing her in it more.But right after I took this picture she smushed her face up against the glass and thought that was pretty funny.

After the zoo, we went to visit a friend and while waiting for her,we played outside. Paytyn loved this. She was smiling and laughing a ton! This is her friend Toby. She used to play with him a lot more.This is how Pay plays games. We went to Dave and Busters in Cali and this is how Pay thought you play skeet ball. Not that she was putting any balls in the right one's.  But we had fun anyway. I think I chased her around more then I played any games.Here is Pay and Daddy playing at Cousin Wicky Wicky wedding. It takes a lot to entertain her! This only lasted a few times, then daddy got tired. She is getting to big. She love going outside and playing on the swings, and looking at the fishes in the pond. She likes playing on her slide. And Playing Mommy to her babies and real babies. She makes me laugh everyday. She likes eating corn dogs and chicken nuggets. She seems to always fight with her cousin Rachel. They fight about toys. Paytyn seeks her out and annoys her. And Rachel hoards all of her toys. Its pretty funny to watch. Cause Paytyn needs someone to give her  run for her money or toys. She is pretty lucky with toys (not spoiled). And she can be a little bit of a bully. Well there isn't to much new with Jim and I. Im working at Tiny Tot's again and am really super busy with work and cleaning the house,and taking care of Pay. Jim is as usually busy with work. He is working on going to St. George for the summer for work. Im pretty proud of all his hard work and sacrifice that he does for our family. He is a great dad.

Valentine's eve!

OKay so when I got up today, I thought I would do Pay's hair in pig tails. Well this is her after I did her hair. She was very upset with me! She would not stop crying!

Here she is still upset, everytime I would try to take a picture of her hair she would turn around.

Here is the end result. This was the best picture I could get. She was running from me, and didn't want me to get a picture of her hair.Here we are at Build a bear! So much fun....for Mebrit,Melissa, and I. Paytyn like the bear getting its stuffing and she would run back to the machine. She picked out her bear, and we helped with a lot more.

Here Is Pay trying to sit in a Hello Kitty chair built for a teddy bear.

She was really happy to hold her box with her bear.

Paytyn did not like this tree. I went up there with her, she was shaking and wouldnt move. So we left and went to look at shoe's. She was a trooper she loved trying on shoe's. She held out her foot while I put shoe's on her. She was very cute and funny!
