Kids are so fun!

Today Payton was playing in her room, and after a while she came running out to show Reddin what she found. She said, "look daddy hand socks." Reddin turned to me and asked me it that is what I told her they were called and I said no, I promise she came up with that on her own. I am so proud of her, because she put them on all by herself and she came up with a pretty good name for them. Later I did tell her they were called gloves and she said, "oh", but continued to call them hand sock (I actually like the name). I am so grateful for Payton, because on a daily basis she makes me laugh, and proud, because she learns something new everyday. Also if I have not said it lately I really love being a mom it is the best job in the world.

Disneyland Again

We got back a few days ago for yet another trip to Disneyland. This was our last trip before our annual passes expired, but we will be going to Disneyworld in January, and I hope Payton will be a little taller, so she can go more rides. This trip was great, because my parents and brother came. My mom is not a fan of roller coasters, so she and Payton were best friends, which meant Reddin and I actually got to go on some rides together. We got to see the new Finding Nemo ride, which was fun and Payton got to drive the little cars for the first time. Payton also got to meet Ariel (which is here favorite princess), and she go to color picture at the princess festival. Overall we had a great time. Payton was really good everyday, expect for on my Birthday (go figure), but at least my dad and mom where around to help. I just love Disneyland; I think I could go several times a year and never get sick of it.

Too Cute Not to Share!

On Saturday we went to my nephew's birthday party (Neil). He was turning three and choose Superman as his theme. My sister-in-law Megan did a great job of decorating. All the food was mostly Red, Yellow, and Blue, and Superman decorations were every where. The kids even got to color there own Superman shirts and take them home to wear (Reddin helped Payton with hers). Anyway after a few hours of superman I think all the little girls need to prove they were still girls, so they decided to play dress-up, Payton included. I think this picture is adorable.

Life is Great!

So far this week has been going great. Both of our cars are parked in our garage at the moment and seem to be working okay (hopefully it stays that way for awhile). I also love that his week started with a holiday; because it is always nice to have Reddin home instead of at work (Payton loves her dad). Another reason this week has been great is because Payton has decided that she thinks it is fun to clean, so she has become mom’s big helper. We have now had our house on the market for about six weeks, and although we have not had many people look at it, I have still had to keep it very clean just in case someone does want to come take a peek. I find that keeping the house clean is not that difficult as long as I am not a hurry to get out the door, but it is nice that Payton is willing to help. She helps me put clothes in the dry (she says thank you every time I give here a new piece of clothing to throw in the dryer). She also likes to clean off the tables with a wipe and she likes to vacuum. Our vacuum is a little hard to handle so recently I started giving her the little dust buster and she loves it.

Well that is about all I have to report for now. Payton, my parents and I are leaving for California tomorrow, to go to a wedding and hang out with some family friends. Reddin and my brother Brian are flying in on Saturday (Just in time for my Birthday), and our plan is to go to Disneyland for a few days and drive back home on Wednesday. I cannot wait to see Payton at Disneyland; I think she is really going to love it, because Ariel, Nemo, and Minnie are her best friends right now, I will post pictures of our trip when we get back.
