Happy 4th Birthday PEYTON!!!

Peytons favorite thing right now is maps, treasures, and everything that goes with it. So for his birthday my sister Tina and I thought up the ultimate treasure hunt for him ending with the treasure chest filled with all of his birthday presents. He was sooooooo excited! Mama K (Tims mom) gave him a treasure chest with a pirates costume for Christmas. So we dressed him up and he was off. I think he had a really fun day. Grandma and Grandpa Redmon came down and so did Todd, Tony, and Taylor (and a few girlfriends;) and of course Tina, Ava, Tracy, Cody, and Thayne. It was quite the house full. Peyton relished in all of the attention. I would hand him a present to open and tell him who it was from and he would say "oooh thanks I love it" before even opening it. I love that kid so much. Tim said it best when he said it's been the best four years of our lives! We love you and are so glad you are in our family!

This was right before we gave him the first map.......just slightly excited!

On his way to the secret hiding spot.....look at that determination!

I found it, I found it!!

A real live treasure!!

hmmmm now lets see whats in there;)

Here are a few new pictures of our little Addison. Very sad to say she starting to turn on us.....she is now very aware when someone takes something from her, and when she doesn't like something she throws her little head back and just screams!! She still hasn't figured out the whole crawling thing, and she definetly DOES NOT like to be put down for tummy time. The other day I laid her down so I could exercise. I didn't get very nice looks from her for that one! It is funny to me how different her personality and Peyton's are. I never had to try to get him to move around. But she is definetly finding her voice and isn't shy about letting you know exactly what she wants!


Her new favorite thing is to get in the tub with Peyton. If I walk in the bathroom while he is taking a bath she shakes her little hands and feet and starts laughing. She LOVES to get in with him!

The other day we went over to play with Tina and Ava. They actually do a pretty good job entertaining each other. Ava isn't full blown crawling yet but she can army crawl all over the place. She can pretty much get in to whatever she wants.......look out Tina!!

Last week we had a fun sledding day. Peyton was pumped to have goggles this time so the snow didn't get in his face. Speaking of snow.......we have had more snow this year than I have ever seen! And it is only supposed to keep on snowing (just don't mention that to my hubby). There is probably a good 2-3 feet here right now. I know it is just because we are building our house this winter!! I swear last year there was hardly any. Anyways we had a fun day sledding. Addi and I got to be their ride back and forth up the hill. Kind of cheating the road goes up the hill, the downside is that they don't get worn out as fast! But they had a lot of FUN!








These two pictures are just to show you and remind us just how much snow there is this year. Since this picture we have probably 6-8 more inches!!

These are a herd of deer that come through our field every night just before dark. We have had fun watching for them. Peyton usually sees them coming first.
