Busy Weekend!

Man were we busy this weekend. Friday night we went to the Metolious Carnival. Peyton wasn't sure about it at first as there were a ton of people there. But after a while he cut loose and had a blast. Saturday Chris decided my truck didn't make such a good mommy rig. heehee. He tried to feed Maddy in the backseat that had two car seats, a big bag of shoes and a diaper bag in it and found it to be quite crowded. I personally LOVE it and say a toolbox would take care of the problem.

I started this layout Thursday and was finally able to finish it yesterday. This picture just cracks me up. Chris was trying to put Peyton down for a nap while at the DuPont family reunion last year. When I went to the trailer to check on them, I found Chris asleep and Peyton wide awake!

Friday Fill-Ins

I've seen this on a few other blogs and thought it was fun, so I'm going to try it out .

1. I'm tired, I'm cranky, I need a vacation.
2. How does this world work, anyway?
3. Every morning, I put slippers on my feet.
4. I consider myself lucky because I have wonderful family and friends.
5. One day we’ll see cars that drive themselves.
6. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to taking Peyton to the carnival, tomorrow my plans include scrapping (I hope) and Sunday, I want to get some time to myself!

A few random things.

While blog hopping I came across another really cool store called Elle's Studio. They are celebrating their 2nd birthday today and doing give-aways. Check out their blog: http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/ . They have the CUTEST journaling spots and tags.

I also came across this really cool new blog called The Scrap Review! I'm really enjoying it and its full of all sorts of info for us scrapbookers! Check it out at http://www.thescrapreview.com/.

This is a layout for a challenge I did at Citrus Tree (use strips of paper and layered flowers). I LOVE the colors, so summer and fun! Peyton and Jazzy were playing dress up at Memas. Aren't they cute?


Maddy is an early riser. Thank goodness for coffee! I just love her chubby cheeks!

Peyton cracks me up with how much he likes to line things up. Last night he lined up every potato head in size order (we have 4 of them) and all the parts! I asked him to smile and he gave me the 'stink eye' instead. hehe...

My Moms Amazing Talent

Isn't this just the most awesome quilt? My mom made it for Madeline. She put a lot of time and love into it and I just LOVE it! The pictures don't do it near enough justice...I'll have to work on that!

Peyton has started pretending! It is quite fun to see what he comes up with and play along with him. He is also starting to talk quite well and repeats things that I say. Here is a conversation we had a couple days ago as we were playing with a puzzle:

P: You can help me mommy!

K: I can?

P: Yep!

K: Thank you, I'd love to help you!

P: Your a good helper Mommy!

Wasn't that sweet?

My Aunt ROCKS!!!

My Aunt ArristaBelle made some really cool gifts for me. She made this really cool pacifier blanky. I also have one in pink and brown (it happens to be in use at the moment!). Its been a huge help today in attempt to keep Maddy happy and a pacy in her mouth. The other is an awesome little pouch for a couple diapers and small container of wipees that will fit perfectly in my purse and/or help me keep the diaper bag organized.

Peyton moved his chair all by himself to this location today. Guess he needed a foot rest! He is still in pajamas in this picture at around 11! He didn't want to get dressed, so he didn't! As my mom says, choose your battles. Getting dressed wasn't a battle I wanted to choose today!

Here is a really cool picture I got of Maddy and Papa! Isn't it sweet?

One of those days!

Yep, today is one of those days where I just want to run away! lol....gotta have them every once in a while though, right?

Here is a picture of Maddy at about 1 week old and at 5 weeks old! Look how much she has filled out!

Can't believe I haven't posted in almost a week! My cousins were in town over the weekend. Peyton sure enjoyed playing with his cousins and keeps telling me "I want my cousins Mommy, I miss them!" He just cracks me up! He has been running low on sleep lately and doesn't think he needs naps anymore. I got tired of fighting him on it and didn't make him take one yesterday. He, or better said, WE had a rough afternoon yesterday. He finally crashed all on his own about 6. I think he has only fell asleep like this maybe twice! lol...

Here are a couple layouts I managed to complete last week. The pictures are bad and don't show the colors very well. The first one is of Peyton with his bowl of Wheat Thins and potato head. He was putting them in the foot crack of the baby potatoe head. When I asked him what he was doing he replied "I feeding baby potatoe".

This one is of Peyton and his cousin Brice at the DuPont family reunion. These two are about 6 months apart and had so much fun playing together. They liked to sit in the double camp chair and "ROAR" as loud as they could in each others faces. It was pretty cute to watch.
