Happy 5th Birthday Payten!

Happy Birthday sweet Payten! Daddy was off on her birthday due to 4th of July so we all got to spend the day with her. Daddy got up and started putting her new bike together. (What an awesome daddy she has!!) She was SO excited and has been asking for a new bike for a while. Her first bike she has definitely out grown. This bike is great and hopefully soon she will be able to ride it without her training wheels. After riding her bike for a little bit we ate lunch and then we took her and Brayden to the pool. She had a wonderful birthday and got to celebrate it 4 times. Once with Grandma Jan and Grandpa Mike. Another time with Meme and Papa and then with Mommy, Daddy and Brayden and then again at Chuck E Cheese! I can definitely say that she is loved by many and very spoiled rotten....but sweet on the inside! :) She has been into Barbies lately so she was so excited to get a Barbie bike. Her Barbie got to ride with her all over the neighborhood. She got to open presents from mommy and daddy too on her birthday. I can't believe that she is actually 5 years old! I still can't believe it! She is so smart, loving, funny, precious, active, silly, daring and happy! (most of the time) haha I know I say this a lot but we are so blessed to have her as our daughter. She brings us so much joy and happiness. I can still remember the first time I held her in my arms. She was so beautiful and still is!

Payten's Chuck E Cheese Birthday Party!!

Payten got to have her 5th birthday celebration at Chuck E Cheese this year! She had such a fun time playing and being with all her good friends!

The party started out with everyone getting to play all the games and use up all their tokens. Then it was pizza time! After pizza Chuck E Cheese came out to give Payten her "Birthday Crown" and then everyone got to sing Happy Birthday to her! As you can see from the pics below, she was all smiles. After cupcakes, Payten got to get into the ticket blaster. She got to grab as many tickets as she could for 45 seconds. She ended up grabbing two special tickets that read, "good for 250 tickets". So she got to pick out some good stuff from the prize counter after her party. The girls had a great time dancing and watching themselves in the t.v. :) Payten got lots of presents that she has been playing with everyday. She is really into horses and Barbies right now and she got two of each! We had a great time and Payten enjoyed her party! Oh ya, there is a pic below where Brayden was laying on Matt's chest. The party was during his nap time, so almost the entire time he just layed on his chest and relaxed. Kinda funny because it was anything but relaxing in that place!
