What a great week.

Payton has been such and angel the past week, which has made my life a lot easier. I feel like I have been able to get so much stuff done and we have been able to do a lot of fun things without a lot of effort.

-We went to swimming lessons, she did great and has not really cried the past two weeks
-We went over to my mom's to hang out with family and friends (I am so grateful that my aunt and uncle love her so much)
-We went to mall with some great friends, and she eat good, played good and went home without crying.
-We went to Reddin's parent to celebrate birthdays and to say goodbye to Aubrey (she left for her mission on Wednesday)
-We went shopping (I got a new quilt for my bed) and I got the house cleaned that day, because even though she does not want to take naps most days she will read books in her bed.
-Reddin got to go hiking with his friends and I survived the whole day and night with no problems (most weeks I cannot wait until Reddin gets home, so I can have some time to myself)
-We went to lunch, returned shoes, and even made it to the Zoo for a spur of the moment trip.
-We went to dinner with my family and she was great.

I cannot even remember everything we did, but it has been a great week, I cannot believe how much Payton is talking and how much she understands.

On another note, we still have not closed on our house, but our title company did get all the paperwork they need so all our buyer has to do is go and sign, so we are hoping that happens today.

You had a productive week. I just managed to keep the house clean, and get the laundry done! Where's the new house at??
