Sleeping Beauty

This is a picture of Payton sleeping on her Dora couch. She would
not go to sleep that night. We put her back in her bed a dozen
times. Finally she got up and put her baby by her and fell
asleep on her Dora couch. Silly girl. Below is the video. The
picture makes it look like day time, but this was about 9 pm
when I checked her for the last time.

First Trip to the Waterpark in 09'

This is Payton in her new swimsuit before we left to go to the
waterpark for the first time this year. I love this suit! I wanted
to get her a swim shirt and this one came with the shorts. I
wish I had one like it!

Do you think Bre was excited to go to the waterpark? She had the
cheesy grin in all of the pictures. We met friends there too, so that
added to the excitement! Andee, thanks for the suit! We
needed the swim shirts for yesterday, the water was pretty cold.

Both of them ready to go. There is the cheesy grin from Bre
again.

After we got home and took their suits off, this is what they

decided to do. They didn't want clothes on and they drew

pictures for mommy and daddy. Cute. I know I have

pictures of me when I was little doing the same thing.

They love to draw! Here is a cheesy smile from Payton this time.

Cute pic of Bre. This is actually a great smile. She hardly does those

for a picture!

Well, we went to the waterpark during Payton's nap time. Needless

to say they were both a little whiney last night. I put on the leap frog

letter movie and Payton fell asleep watching it! Awesome! All I

had to do was put her in her bed. She was worn out from all the

playing outside. They are so cute when they are sleeping!

Fun Playing outside

This is Bre and Payton playing under the trampoline. There is a
hole under there from where we dug out a bush. Bre started
putting balls in it, pretending they were eggs. In this
picture they are "sitting" on their eggs. I thought it was
a cute picture.

Here is the "eggs nest" full of balls that they created under the trampoline.
I am glad that they can be creative and find something to do outside.
They just love being outside and so do I. Hopefully soon it will be nice
and hot all of the time.

Happy Birthday Payton!

This is the cake that I made for Payton's 2nd birthday. I was
happy with the Dora face. If I would of had more time and
patience I would have done more decorations. But I am
happy with the way it turned out overall. She liked it
so that is what matters most.

Here is Payton on Saturday, the day of her party. Lisa was nice
enough to take her on her birthday for a haircut. It looks really
cute. I can leave it down now. I put clips it in and it looked really
cute for her party!


Payton got her own Dora dress to sleep in. Of course Bre had to
wear hers too sleep in. So cute!

Here is Payton sitting by her Dora doll that grandma got for her.

It is a cute doll. She closes her eyes when you lay her down. She says

good night and sings a lullabye. Payton loves it!

This is a Dora camera. It comes with little pictures that pop out of

the bottom of the camera when they push the button. It talks too.

She got this from Duke and Kathy. Awesome gift, but I know I will

be finding those little pictures all over the house - great.

We had the great idea to make some smores with our new fire pit we got
for the back yard. We went and got the stuff and told the girls about
it, and they were so excited to eat them! Who wouldn't be! I was
excited.

Of course when we got back, the girls had no patience to wait for the
fire. They broke open the marshmellows and ate those.

Bre loved her marshmellow, they also ate a reese's peanut butter cup

with their marshmellow, but they wouldn't try the smore! So much

for our great idea! At least me and Doug enjoyed them.

We made a great chalk flag on our driveway to celebrate memorial day.

I did most of the work, but they did liked helping color in the stripes.

DeWitt family pictures

Here is Molly with all of her nieces and nephews. This was pretty funny.

Here is everybody in the DeWitt family. Its a big group.

This is Doug's parents. The kids call them Maga and Papa, so that is

what we call them too.
