Memorial Weekend

Over Memorial weekend we were able to go out on the boat on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday Aunt Kyky and her friend Brea came with us and then Oma and Opa came down with their boat. Peyton had so much fun by the end of the day he was jumping off the back of the boat and would not get out of the water. After we came off the water everyone came to the house and Oma and Opa gave Peyton gifts from Mexico and the funniest thing was he was naked and had a sombrero on his head maracas in his hands a little sombrero well covering himself no pictures they were all in the bags but super cute!! Peyton gave Oma a kiss for the first time too this weekend, she was very excited and happy. On Sunday Nick and Melanie went out with us, we got rained on a little bit but not too bad and it was much better than sitting at home.

Peyton out of daycare

We pulled Peyton out of daycare on Tuesday May 19, 2009. He was coming home with bruises on his face and bite marks on his back and unfortunately it was contiuing to happen and our provider wouldn't give us any information and admitted it was happening when she was doing laundry. He would also scream and his body would shake when I dropped him off and he saw a particular child and that was the final straw. We were very angry about the situation and very concerned due to the lack of supervision. We were also sad since he had been going there since he was three months old.

He will be staying home this summer and then will begin a daycare/preschool in August, so we are very excited about that!!

The Hippos face

On Friday May 15, 2009 we went to St. Louis for the weekend. On Friday we went to The City Museum, which was amazing and we had a great time, Peyton wouldn't do much climbing so mommy had to carry him up and down, so it was quite a workout for me, but he had a blast and that's what was important. We then walked down to Union Station and walked through some shops and then we ate at Hard Rock Cafe and sat outside on the manmade baby lake and Peyton got a T-Shirt that said "My 1st Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirt" and Tanner got a shirt as well. After we got back to the hotel we went swimming or at least daddy and Tanner did, Peyton screamed when he got in and seemed scared and was just latching on to me, needless to say we were a little worried, he has to LIKE water or it's going to be a long summer on the lake. On Saturday we went to the St. Louis Zoo and Peyton absolutely loved the train and didn't like it when it stopped, he waved and said "hi" and "bye" to everyone as we passed by them. He enjoyed looking at the large animals and his favorite by the way he acted was the Hippo, he was watching it in the water and it would come up face to face with him and the first time it happened he jumped back a little bit but then couldn't get enough of putting his face up and waiting and watching for them, we had to pull him away from them after a bit. He also liked the Penguins or at least it was the only animal he kept saying "bye" to. That evening Tanner got some pizza and hung out at the hotel and we went my friend Jenn's wedding which was at the ZOO, Peyton was a trooper as he didn't take a nap, actually he didn't take a nap either day so he was definitely a trooper all weekend. It was great to see so many people at the wedding and catch up with a few of them, we sat with Andrea and Alvin Howell, Kendra, Robin & Baby Cash Belzer, mommy was holding Cash who was five months and Peyton got a little jealous but he kept peeking in at Cash when he was in his stroller and liked him when mommy wasn't holding him. On Sunday we got up and we all went swimming except Tanner he wanted to sleep longer. Peyton did much better in the water and started splashing around, so we think he may have just been so tired Friday night. We headed home and he didn't sleep a bit, fun fun, the trip down and back was very long since he wouldn’t sleep at all. He would do good for a bit and then cry, scream and whine but we all made it and all in all he did extremely well for such a big and jam packed weekend and on minimal sleep, so I can't complain.

Playing outside with Daddy

Mother's Day

Peyotn feeding Braylon

On Sunday May 10, 2009 we celebrated Mother's Day, Peyton actually slept until 8:30, what a Mother's Day gift!! We all laid in bed and watched cartoons until about 9:30 and then Peyton and Daddy made me breakfast. Daddy and Nick worked on the boat and we are ready to put it in the lake this week. Aunt Belle, Aunt Kyky and Braylon came down for dinner and Peyton and Braylon played with the cars and in the ball pit and on Peyton's new bed. Nick and Melanie Earhart came over for dinner also. Braylon was uncle Lance's buddy today and both of them and Peyton laid on Peyton's bed just the three guys, super cute. Before bed we ate some apple pie and ice cream that Aunt Belle left. We had to celebrate without Oma and Opa as they were in Mexico sitting on the beach, Happy Birthday and Mother's Day Oma!!

Tre's Birthday Party

On Monday May 11, 2009 we went roller skating for Tre Baker's 6th birthday party. Nick and Melanie came with us and all of us skate except Nick. Peyton went around once and was done, he sat on my lap and was just snuggling, he would not get down, I actually enjoyed the cuddling time. He did go back out for a few minutes but it didn’t last. Me and Melanie had fun though!

Peyton's new girlfriend

What is she trying to do???

I don't mind it so much:)

On Saturday May 9, 2009, we went to a BBQ for Sean McGraw one of Lance's friends from high school as he is headed back to Iraq and then we went to the LeVota's for a little bit and there was a little girl named Kaylee that was hugging and kissing on Peyton, he liked it for a bit but all the women were ooh and ahhing and then he was finally done but it was so cute.

Mushrooms!!!

On Wednesday May 6, 2009 we went to Papa and Grandma Di's for dinner and had Mushrooms that they picked Sunday. Peyton wasn't feeling to well so he didn't really eat but Mommy, Papa and Uncle Tommy ate up the mushrooms!!

Cinco De Mayo

On Tuesday May 5, 2009 we celebrated Cinco De Mayo with Nick and Melanie. Mommy made Chicken Fajita Casserole and Melanie made Margaritas for the adults.

Trip to St. Joe

On Sunday May 3, 2009 we went to St. Joe and mommy and Peyton stayed with Oma and went shopping and hung out. Peyton and Braylon played a little but then Braylon took a nap, Peyton did not. Daddy, Opa and Papa went mushroom hunting, Lance hated it but he said he had a good time with the boys. They got some mushrooms, and I’m so ready to go and eat them.

Kentucky Derby

On Saturday May 2, 2009 we had Nick and Melanie Earhart and Chris Hess over to watch The Kentucky Derby, we all lost on the horse we thought would win, but we had fun!!

Playing with the big boys

On Thursday April 30, 2009 we had Ty and Tre Baker over and the boys played and Peyton played with them and was having a blast and then he would sit back and watch them and was laughing at them, they all enjoyed the evening.

Church

On Sunday April 26, 2009 we went to Ty Baker’s First Communion. Peyton did a great job in church it was actually the best he has ever done, however, he did have a kid sitting next to him he was playing with but he was still quiet.
