Playdate

Today we went to the Seifert's house for a playdate with Hunter, Amy, Ethan, and Kate.  Us mama's had some great chats/eats/laughs while the boys played and played.  Thanks for having us Amy, it's always a good time!

Peyton played with Hunter's remote control car pretty much the whole time...

Happy Birthday Pancho! 

Happy Birthday Mama!

My mom turned 68 on Tuesday January 19th.  On Friday we all gathered at my parent's house for a party.  Flying pie pizza, salad, cake, ice cream and pie.  Delicious.  Happy Birthday MAMA!  We love you so much.

And of course some cards.

A great morning outside.

Today after breakfast I loaded Peyton in the jog stroller and ran to the park.  We also went to the construction site nearby and checked out the loaders and excavators and stopped and fed the ducks on the way home.  It felt so good to be outside!  It was the perfect temperature to be outside.  Peyton had a huge smile on his face.  I forget how much he loves to be outside playing.  After I jogged home, we played t-ball, he rode his tractor, and we colored with chalk.  I am pretty excited for Spring to be here! 

He was so excited when we got there.

Climbing.

Drivin.

Slidin.

Chasing birdies.

And just running.

Feeding the duckies.

I have a feeling he will take an extra good nap today!  After lunch he kept telling me "I'm very tired Mama..."

Deal em'

Last night I had my family over for potluck and cards.  The food was delicious and fattening and cards/dice were fun as always.  Thanks fam for the fun night!

This week..

This past week Peyton and I have been sick and have been laying low.  I'm so ready for Spring so we can get outside and play!  Winter has taken its toll and we're running out of things to do inside. 

Last Sunday we switched Peyton's crib into a big boy bed.  He's done really well.  He won't get up until we come get him, it's crazy.  He would have been fine being in his crib still but I figure he's almost 3 so he's overdue.  :)

Peyt laying in his bed with his shiny runny nose.

We've been shooting lots of hoops. Ok I've been shooting lots of hoops.  :)  But he likes it too and has a pretty good lefty shot!  He gets really excited when he makes a hoop and we give double high-fives!  Check out that follow-through! 

He LOVES this glow doodle.  He draws on it everyday for long periods of time.  His Aunt Sherri and Uncle Hugh got him this for Christmas.

Bring on 2010

Last night we rang in the New Year with the Seiferts.  We had a lot of fun and tons of laughs.  The boys played like crazy and both made it until midnight.  Thanks for having us Ben and Amy! Happy New Year!
