Bucket Fun!

Repeatedly today Peyton has put his sand bucket on his head and walked or crawled around with it on his head! He ran into things both walking and crawling and just got up and did it all over again. It's was hilarious to watch!

Blue Bird Gap Farm

Yesterday mom and I took Peyton, Khayleb and Jayden to Blue Bird Gap Farm. I had never been and was very excited! The weather was beautiful and we had a good time. The boys enjoyed using the camera to take pictures of all of the animals and birds at the farm and playing on the playground. We took a picnic lunch with us and really enjoyed it!

Peyton's First Haircut!

Peyton got his first haircut a few days ago. He did a great job! He took the comb from Cara and she let him chew on it while she was cutting his hair. He didn't need too much cut, but he needed around his ears trimmed and the back cleaned up. He did great! When Cara started to use the trimmers, he even wanted to hold them and "help" her!

His haircut makes him look so grown up! What a big boy!

Our trip to Cape Cod

Peyton and I went to the Cape to visit Grandmother for the beginning of spring break. We had a really good time! Peyton did well on the flight up and slept on the bus on the way to the Cape.

Peyton had a blast going through the cabinets and drawers in Grandmother's kitchen! They were very entertaining for him! Peyton even decided to surprise us and take 4, 5 and 6 steps together while we were there! He had taken 1 - 2 steps at home, but never 4! He did it several times while we were visiting. When we were at Beth's house he took 6 steps in a row!

We had a great visit! I only wish we'd have been able to see every one.

We knew it was just a matter of time!

Patrick and I knew it was only a matter of time before Peyton would go into DJ's kennel! He's been playing outside of it and with the door for a while now, but the other night, he decided to throw his block into the kennel. Of course he HAD to go in after it! I think he thought it was funny!

Peyton's First Birthday Party!

Peyton had a lot of fun opening his presents! He got a lot of great gifts from everyone! Now if we could only figure out where to put it all!

Erin came home for the party. It was great to see her, just wish she could have stayed longer!

I got each of the kids a bucket and wrote their names on them. They each got to collect 10 easter eggs plus a bonus egg with their name on it during the egg hunt. The bonus egg had a gold dollar coin for each kid. They really enjoyed it! It was sweet, because each of the older kids were told they could only get ten and when they collected more than their share, they gave them to the younger kids.

We all had "John Deere" green on for the event!

We had a chocolate John Deere cake for the party, but got Peyton is own little cake to demolish! When we gave the cake to Peyton, he didn't know what to do at first. He played with the icing until we sliced into the cake. He ate some, but really wasn't too interested in eating much of it.

Finally - Nice Weather!

This past weekend was gorgeous, so we decided to take advantage! We took Peyton out in the backyard and let him practice climbing up the stairs of the porch and crawl around in the grass. He even decided to try chewing on an acorn shell! He had a lot of fun and of course slept great Sunday night!
