Busy, Busy, Busy!



Some times I feel like all I do is go, go, go. I usually have some place I need to go, or some project in my head I want to complete. At times I really do just want to stay home, but for the most part I am happy to be busy. This past week we were busy with Payton birthday. She had two great parties, one with friends and one with family. She got some great presents, and has had fun this past week wearing her new clothes, playing dress-up, playing on her new swing set, and enjoying all her new princess toys. On her birthday I still took her to swim lesson and she has been doing really well, so the instructors told me I should take a video for her Uncle Travis to see, so this is for you Travis (thanks for giving her a good head start on her swimming skills.)



Kayda has been such a good girl, she has been pretty content to let Payton have the spot light. She seems to like the new swing set and she has also rolled over twice this week. She is getting big so fast.

Happy Birthday Payton!



Today is Payton's third birthday. I cannot believe it has already been three years. Payton has grownup so much in the past year. Since her last birthday she has moved to a big girl bed, stopped taking naps, been potty trained, learned to swim better, and in general learned hundreds of new things. Everyday I am amazed at a new word she says and how well she talks. She has done so well this year with all the new transitions we have put her through. We moved out of our first house in with my brother, and then into a new house, and then had a new baby. She is such a big girl and I am so proud that she is my daughter. I love her so much and I am so grateful that I get to stay home with her everyday.

Blessing Day



Today Kayda was blessed and it went great. She did not cry until the sacrament was being passed, but then fell fast asleep after that. I am so grateful that I have a husband that has been able to bless both my children and I am so grateful for all the family that was able to be there to support us, but we did really missed all the family members that were not able to be there. Here are some cute pictures of her all dressed up.

Halloween!




Halloween was so much fun. Payton loved going trick-or-treating and wearing her costume. Kayda did not seem very happy about her costume, but she looked cute. My parents and brother came to our house and went trick-or-treating with us, and then when we were done we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Evan's house to play. It was a fun day. This morning Payton came into our room to wake us up and the first thing she asked for was candy. Payton is addicted to candy, but I cannot blame her I have a big sweet tooth also.


Kayda liked this outfit a little bit better then her costume, and I have to thank her two aunts. Aunt Megan let her barrow the outfit and Aunt Carrie made her the cute bow.











Reddin decided to dress up also, I guess it was a good excuse to use his hiking equipment.
The kids were so silly after all that candy, but it was fun to watch them.
