Sweet P hanging by her car, notice the belt, she went through a phase where she wore belts everyday! So cute!

Jaxon calls Payton a Rock Star when she wears her sunglasses

Jaxon and I at the Children's Museum playing a giant game of checkers, he is actually pretty good, understands the concept.

Payton is 14 months, almost 15 months. She is still the best eater next to Jason. She loves sharing Jason's food the most. She is running now and is still climbing everything including an 8 ft. climbing wall at the park all by herself! She has been teething for the past two months and has gone from 2 bottom teeth to almost 6 teeth and I think she is trying to get more. Teething has not really affected her just makes her drouly.

Jaxon is doing great, he is 4 and a half and started school almost a month ago. He loves it and seems to be learning alot and making some new friends. He started T-ball 2 weeks ago and can't wait to begin games because that is when he gets his jersey.

Its T-ball time!

Jaxon is playing T-ball again this year. He loves it! He is on the Phillies team and is so excited to get his jersey.

Fun times playing with the Herman's

Jaxon loves to make Olivia laugh!

Playing at the Ranch

Jaxon shooting his BB gun, he is a great shot. He is able to hit the cans about 50/50.

Pops and Payton, still chilly after the rain!

Jason hunting a hog. Jason took me out for the first time and we shot the guns, then heard a hog rustle around and Jason was after it. He was running and shooting from the hip. The hog ran off but it was exciting. I never saw the hog which is a good thing. Jason said it was huge about 250lb and if I would have seen it I would have screamed instead of followed!




Jaxon and Payton wrestling. Jaxon sleeps on a mattress on the floor at the ranch so he uses it to wrestle Payton and anyone else who will wrestle with him.

Payton's 1st birthday!!!

I can't believe it has been almost a year since we welcome my Sweet P. Time is going way too fast. We came to Midland to celebrate Payton's first birthday with the family. Payton had a great time with everyone.

Updates on Payton, she loves to eat, she doesn't eat alot, but she eats a variety. She only has 2 bottom teeth with no more in sight. However, she is a champion eater, chicken, beef, radishes, bell peppers, carrots, peas, blueberries, mandarine oranges, watermelon and any of the gerber graduates to name some favorites.

I don't know her weight or length but will at her check up in a couple weeks. She can take up to 5 steps, she is interested in walking now, but not in a hurry.

She is still incredibly smiley and happy all the time. She loves playing with Jaxon's toys and for the most part he is a good sharer, she loves to swim and climb.



This is Payton's signature sitting position when in the grass. One leg has to be raised. We recently had our family photos taken and she kept one leg raised and the photographer kept wanting me to put her leg down, I just let her do what she wanted because it is her "thing"

I promised Jaxon nobody would take his picture. After I took this I had to convince him that nobody will take his picture but it is okay if mommy does. He decided that was okay.
