So Proud

So Payten has a doodle thing and she loves drawing, coloring, painting...all those things. well she was drawing this earlier today. first it was the two outside bigger people which was Payten and Kirra holding hands, then after talking she realized she wanted Wyatt in there too so he's the smaller one in the middle. I couldn't believe it she was drawing their outfits and very instant they had buttons.

Pilates

So I was doing a Pilate's dvd at home Saturday and Payten wanted to exercises too! she laid in front of me by the tv, listened very intently to the ladies instructions and did everything EXACTLY the same as her, right on the count, legs at 45 degree angle, everything was perfect. She had no idea that for like 10 minutes i was just taking pictures of her, she was SO into it, I was cracking up. She's too dang cute!

I wish I had her Hair!!!

Trick or Treat

Halloween was so much fun, All the family got together at Tom and Mardel's (even though they were out of town) We had alot of fun. Payten just thinks the concept of trick or treating and CANDY is awesome! I must seem awful to her for never giving her candy really...cruel! haha

ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME!

I CALLED IT! I know I showed most of you the song, Animal I have become by Three Days Grace, made you all listen to it and said it would be the PERFECT song for, well really Jacob or Edward. Well I was just browsing the Stephanie Meyer website and came across her playlist for the Midnight sun Book that may or may not be released now but still.....ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME is on the playlist!!!!! I SOOOOOO CALLED IT! I've made everyone listen to it I think hahaha i'm a nerd but I was so excited because I always thought it was so perfect for what must be going through their heads. ahhhh I hope she finishes the book, John's read what came out and seems to like it better. I'll put the song on my playlist for the site, It's harder music so hopefully It doesn't offend any of you. I like Three days grace, Linkin park, Machbook romance, Taking back sunday, Anberlin and Fuel quite a bit, the rest I haven't heard of or don't know well.

Let the Halloween Craft week continue

Made with Egg Cartons (NO the ones we made were not nearly so perfect, I ended up paper macheing them too to make them more round then we'll paint them)

I LOVE THESE NEXT FEW MONTHS! so much fun to have, eat and make. These were they attempts this week for Halloween. The paper mache pumpkins will be painted tomorrow, Payten has had a blast with the spiders.....she hid one to scare daddy when he finds it.

THE COOKBOOK!

So the last month I have been spending ALL my spare time in microsoft word. This Project took FOREVER but it is done and I love it! All my recipes used to be in a box with no dividers and i had to flip through 100+ cards everytime i needed a recipe, or my handwritten book that I started back in highschool. I am SO excited to have all my recipes organized, together and in word. I can email quickly or print off whenever anyone wants one or I can find them quickly when wanting to use one!!!! Every section has it's own index and the book has a color coded index for the sections, ahhhh :) love it

Twilight

Ahhhh I just saw my first Twilight movie commercial on tv! I'm sure it's been on before but it's my first time.....sooooo excited

Let the Halloween Continue

So I decided that this year I am going to do a count down to each holiday and do something fun crafty....so here's attempt number one....hahaha the point is Payten had fun!!! we won't be opening an etsy stop anytime soon, but fun!

Can't get enough of this Strawberry

Bath Crayons

Ok whoever created this idea is pure genius!!!! Payten spends FOREVER coloring on the walls and then it just wipes away! Of course Riley loves watching.

Let the Holidays BEGIN!

Carving pumpkins is always fun!!! While carving, the seeds looked good so I thought maybe this year I'll stop being lazy and actually pick them all out to bake them....I found the BEST way to make them, Worcestershire sauce!!!!! OHHHH YEAH. I coated them well in it then 1/2 through I coated them again with a little salt....ahhhhh we rationed them for like a week. The carving was fun too but uuuummmmm pumpkin seeds!

we lit them after the bath and clean up

PS- Sometimes it's easy to get a little excited and carve your pumpkins 3 weeks early.....don't! lesson learned when they rotted, fell off the wall, and oozed everywhere.

Blessings in disguise

Although getting in an accident is a HUGE hassle and not fun. This one has had some pretty cool bonus', We just got our new car yesterday, it's another Grand Cherokee, 2008 which is so awesome! we got such a good deal. the girls got new car seats, their old ones were great too but these are new. Oh and I guess i never posted that the outcome, which your probably assuming by now, was that it was a total loss. It doesn't look like it but I guess the damage unseen was just to much $. Anyways wooohooo for the new car, We're pretty excited. Hope you all are having a great week!

Hot Digity Dog!!!!

This song make me happy! haha Payten plays computer games at disneys clubhouse and when she's done they sing this song. now I do realize that this is maybe something I shouldn't admit to but I find myself sprinting to the computer when I hear she's done with the game so I can dance to this song with her! HAHAHA yeah yeah, I'm one of those crazys who should be in a nut house. Then I got looking at what the characters are all dancing like and realized I do EXACTLY what goofy does! Then I thought that represents my personality pretty well...Which one are you? some of the girls and I have determined which desperate house wife we are, but which disney character are you? :) I call tabs on goofy....really the funnier post would be the video of me dancing to the song...haha NOT happening! have an awesome weekend everyone

The replacement

So here's the car I get to drive for the next couple weeks. I LOVE IT, however I don't think they'd let me just trade. The update on the car, at this point they are determining if it's totalled or not. the estimate is $7200 so far which I think is above the totalling % of fair market value. I hope not because I love my Jeep, but we'll see. For now I'm loving the rental.

Whats the damage?

My first car accident! I could have gone without it, but oh well, I'll be without a car for a while and have visits to the chiropractor, not sure when my headache will go away either but really it could have been soooo much worse and I'm so grateful my girls were ok. that was really the scariest part, having them in the car. Payten was definitely freaked out, crying and scared (i don't blame her at all!) Riley really couldn't have cared less (which is pretty much her personality in any situation), had my adrenaline not been pounding my heart practically out of my chest I would have been freaking out big time. I have to say THANK YOU to Amy for seeing us and stopping to help with my girls while I tried to figure out what to do tell John got there. and Thanks Jamie for stopping too :)

OK MY JEEP IS AWESOME! my care looks like it really barely got hit....unfortunately for her, her car took the bigger hit

her car has seen better days

The road from her point of vew, I was on the left side of the picture headed towards us and she was on the right side in the turn lane turning left.......she said she didn't see me which is odd to me, i don't really see how she couldn't have seen me but oh well, thats that.

buds

Payten and Riley are buds, they are finally able to interact and have fun together, they crack each other up all the time, bath time, etc. No one gets Riley to crack up like Payten can.

Rileys Favorite form of communication

Riley LOVES gurgling. she can gurgle for hours. Cooing and babbling like normal babies is overrated, gurgling is the communication of the future.

ONE piece of candy...PLEASE?

I'm SOOOOO not over exaggerating when I say Payten was doing this for a half an hour plus! I gave her ONE piece of candy....this is the biggest reason she rarely gets candy, it's like toddler speed! Here are two pictures of Riley during Paytens little session...you can see her thoughts... "are you kidding me? WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?" hahaha yes she had these expressions the whole half hour or so, she seemed so confused, scared, weirded out, and maybe a little excited for this new entertainment.

and so it begins...

So I thought I had a little longer before the battle over, who gets the computer, started. I was wrong. I thought it would be fun to go play some games on PBSkids.com and Disneyplayhouse.com with Payten, something fun for us to do and she could start to learn what you can do on the computer. WELL it took about 10 minutes before she was kicking me out of the way and doing what she wanted. She totally gets the mouse, arrow keys, space bar, etc. I will be out in the kitchen and I hear her on the computer with a frustrated sigh "cooooommmeeeee ooonnnn" and "DO IT!" (every once and a while she'll hit the wrong button on the mouse and get soooo ticked at the computer) haha I totally get that computers are the most frustrating thing in the world when they aren't working. Anyways I just can't believe that I'm having to share my computer with my 2.5 year old....for the next 16 years (maybe I wont let her leave, lets say 30 years hehe) I now have to battle for my time on the computer, which if you follow my blog at all you know I don't update too often because my computer time is ALREADY limited thanks to little miss princess Payten :) it's a good thing I can't help but Love her

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
