Peyton Graduates from Preschol (with his Masters)

Patiently waiting for graduation to start....mom and dad were early for once:)
Peyton's big moment....Teacher Linda does the honors!

YES!!
"I did it, I did it Teacher Jen!!!
School buddies

Peyton loved going to Tiny Tots Preschool he had awesome teachers, Teacher Linda (Johnson) and Teacher Jen (Caldwell). If you notice the medal that he is wearing around his neck....that was because he earned his Masters since he attended two years at Tiny Tots. It was so cute because after his graduation he told me that he thought that his friends were all jealous that he is their "master" now:)

Addi turns 2!

Well here is our little princess....I am finally able to blog again after almost a year!
Since she is going to turn three here in a couple of months I better get to her 2nd Birthday!








Isn't she beautiful?
Things we never want to forget about Addison being 2:
When she wakes up and sees you she says
"Good NORRRNING"
Such a sweet start to the day!
Other sayings:)
"OH YEAH" (to everything especially if she is really serious)
"Mom why are you so mad for?"
"Don't go....I will loose you"
"I WUV you mommy"
"I don't wike your dinner"
"MOM, I wike your dinner"
"Mom we go shopping today......PWEEEESE!"
She is so sweet....and stubborn at the same time. She can pretty much do whatever she sets her mind to. Potty training her was a breeze....gave her some stickers and told her she would get a reward and that was all it took.
She is such a girlie girl and loves everything and anything pink and sparkly. She loves me to do her hair in the morning but has to look at herself in the mirror first to make sure it is cute first! When I put her down for her nap before she lays down she always asks me if it is ok if she messes her hair up...cracks me up! Have to say a word about your hair when you were two.....glad that it is getting better, but you started losing all of your hair. Scared mommy to death what a bad mom I am, were you stressed, mal-nouished, or what? So I took you to the Dr. who had nothing to really tell me, then one day a lady came by the house that wanted to know if you got a hold of the scissors...nope I told her, her hair is just falling out.....well she was a foot zoner and told me to bring you by sometime and she would take a look. Well she found that you have a dairy allergy that threw off your pituitary which caused your hair loss and eczema. Your hair is looking so much thicker now, but when you look back at these picts someday that is the story about your hair!
She has always been so sensitive to bad smells and icky things like boogers.....if she has to blow her nose (or if I am wiping Max's) she usually gags at least two times. Every time we walk by the seafood and fish at the grocery store she makes sure I know and everyone in a hundred foot radius "THAT FISH STINKY!" She wouldn't have been such a good Alaskan girl;)
I love that she loves to go out anywhere and everywhere with me and just like her big brother she is very outgoing and likes to say hello to just about everyone that she sees.
She has decided that she loves to go nursery at church (that only took about a year and a half to decide).....now everyday she wants to know when church day is.
Today (3/28/10) she sang in a group of about 10 other kids down our street for all of the ladies in our church. She was the youngest one and was absolutely adorable. She knew every single word (they sang "I'm tyring to be like Jesus"). She stood right up front and smiled and loved every minute of it. I wanted to cry watching her (Peyton was second most adorable).
Addison we are so lucky to have your sweet little spirit in our family....you definitely keep us all in line and we love you for it!

Mutton Bustin!

This weekend Peyton (and his "best buddy Carter") had a chance to try out Mutton Bustin at Smithfield Health Days. We kind of had to talk Peyton into trying it out. But all we had to tell him was that Carter was going to do it too! (I think that was what Carters mom was telling him to;). Carter had tried this one time before over Easter at Baby Animal Days, so he kind of knew what to expect. But in Baby Animal Days they had helmets, and protective vests, the whole works. Well they didn't have any of this stuff at this one. So you can imagine my nerves, as Tim put Peyton on.
Carter and Peyton







Everything was made all better by a clean crisp $2 bill!"Can you believe we just did that"?
A special thanks to Tina Peterson photography for attending and photographing this first time adventure:-)

The Fam Goes Fishin'

A few months back we decided to go fishing and try out Peyton's new fishing pole that Grandpa Redmon and Grandma Tami gave him for Christmas.

Dad getting it all ready (Addison stay out of that puddle)!
"NO"
"Don't worry mom I will take care of her;-)"
After a few lessons from dad on how to cast, we just let him try to figure the whole casting, and reeling thing out. He was getting frustrated that he kept getting caught on the moss at the bottom. But he was doing pretty good and being patient. Tim finally got his pole out and was having fun when Peyton goes "Mom I think I caught one" "You are just probably stuck on the bottom honey, do you need help?" Then all of a sudden the line took off and sure enough he caught one ALL BY HIMSELF!! Tim and I were shocked, it was so funny.
Reelin' him in!
YES!
Peyton and Dad showing off the big catch!

Back in the water and feelin a little sure of himself:)
"AAAAA dad get the net I got another one"!
We were going to just catch and release.....try to tell a 5 year old you are going to have to let his fish go! We ended up with two beauties!
Fun Day!
