Friday Fun!!!

Well, we just got back from Chick-Fil-A. Payten played in the kid center and then for dessert we got a cookies and cream milk shake. They are sooo yummy!!! Seriously, they are the best. But I advise you not to even get one b/c you will become addicted to them, as Paytie and I already need one once a week!! :) So, by the time we got home she had her ice cream all over her face. I thought it was pretty adorable. Now when you say lets take a picture, she says, "Cheeze". It's pretty funny. I think in a couple of these pics you can tell she is saying cheeze and posing for the camera. I am soo excited....Jennifer is coming to visit us tomorrow!! She is staying until Tuesday. We are going to have so much fun. Payten is already saying, "Aunt JJ". Hopfully we will do some baby shopping! I miss shopping for baby stuff. Anway, hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I will post new pics next week.

Matt and I had so much fun on Saturday night. We went to dinner at Babin's Seafood with two different couples and then they came over to our house and played games until 1:00 in the morning. I had to get up the next day and work. I was pooped out! Payten stayed home with the babysitter while we ate dinner, so it was nice to enjoy the company and eat my food in nice, slow bites. I got blackened chicken with rice. Very yummy! I have to admit I missed her for that short period we were gone! We are so happy that Scott, Bethany, Wes, and Alison live down here now. They both live within 5 miles of our house. It is so much fun to get together with other couples. We really enjoy getting to know other people.... the first few months down here we really didn't know too many people, so it is nice to be social again!! :) I have made a really good friend from the gym. She has two girls Payten's age, so we hang out a lot during the week. Okay, I am rambling on and I have to get up in 6 hours..... good night! :) Here are some pics of Payten taking care of her kids. :) On Friday I went and got her a high chair/ bouncy chair for her babies. I don't think she has stopped playing with it since the minute I finished putting it together. She is going to be a good mommy one day! We were driving home from grocery shopping and there was a beautiful rainbow that went all the way across the sky. Matt and I agreed that we have never seen a rainbow more beautiful then this one. So when we got home I grabbed my camera and took some shots. Looking at the rainbow in the sky I realized how amazing our Heavenly Father is and how much he loves us.

Happy 2nd Birthday Paytie

Here are a couple pictures that Betsy took for Payten's 2 year old pictures. She did a great job!! If anyone needs pictures taken, I would definitely reccommend her! :) http://www.gregoryphotography.blogspot.com/

Happy Birthday Payten Mackenzie

We had such a goood time in Oklahoma!!! I just want to thank everyone for hanging out with us and for helping us celebrate Paytie's 2nd birthday. In this picture, Payten put her princess hat on upside down. I tried to help her put it on, but miss independent wanted to do it all by herself. :) Yummy!!!! I think someone liked their birthday cake a little too much!! Mabye I should have cut it into small pieces, but I thought she only gets to stuff a huge piece of cake in her mouth once a year. Fun memories! :) Don't we look cute!??!??! I think we are all long lost sisters. Payten is so blessed to have all her Great Grandparents in her life! You are all so sweet to her. We love you lots. Right when we got home from being in Oklahoma, we went and ate Mexican food and got Paytie her birthday present. We were trying to decide between the Cadillac Escalade, Hummer, and the jeep. The other cars were more neutral, but Payten really liked this one. She will probably have it worn out before baby #2 comes along anyway. I don't think her little brother would like riding in a purple jeep. :) We now have a huge problem....Payten stands at the garage door and begs to go outside and ride in her car. We got home from the gym earlier today and I could barely get my lunch eaten before she was grabbing my hand and telling me to get up. How can they be so demanding at the age of 2? She loves her new toy and will enjoy riding it around the neighborhood. Daddy and Payten are spending some quality time together. They have a bond that is so special. Payten knows that when Matt walks in the door, it is play time. This picture was taken after her evening bath. She was outside three different times today riding her new jeep. She was pretty pooped out!
