Whats going on?

So what has been happening.  Well teeball is over now and I hope Payton gets to play soccer this fall.  Teeball was a wonderful experience for him and most importantly he had fun.  Now they are hanging out with daddy for the summer and every day is an adventure.  Here are some pictures.

Wow....

So I realize it has been a while since we have posted about our life.  Well alot has been happening and I promise I will try to blog more and with our schedule getting into its summer schedule we should have more time.


Well we have celebrated cousin Jacob going into the high school next year.  We spent Memorial Day in Wisconsin and we are excited for all the family and friends that are starting to expand their families.  It is going to be an exciting summer, fall and winter.  So with all of this said let me tell you about our two boys.  The biggest thing we have noticed is the differences in P and B.


Payton turned five in April and he has started to come out of his shell still.  He is still shy but he likes to help and I feel that he is laid back and loves to be a funny.  He loves to tell me that I am silly and loves to draw.  He likes to make rainbows, fish and smiley faces.  He is still into his rainbows.  The first day of summer break I came home from work and the first thing he told me was "I didn't go to school today" and then he looked at his dad.  I believe he thought his dad was going to get into  trouble for not taking him to school but I explained and he was ok then. 


Braxton...well what can I say...he is a very in your face three year old.  He loves to be into everything and usually is.  He is always moving or talking and never stops.  He is very opposite his brother and I am told by MaMa Lopez that he is a mini me.  I don't believe I could have ever been like this.  I think his favorite word is butt head and did I forget to say that he is LOUD. 


So that is a snippet of Payton and Braxton.  Jeff and I are so very blessed and love and cherish our boys.

Well

The weather is sucking and we are unable to get tee ball games in.  It sucks and Payton is bumbed whenhe can't go.  He is really really enjoying it. 

What a day!

We had our IEP for Payton today to get him ready to go to kindergarten.  Well it was great.  He will have speech for 100 minutes a week so about 20 minutes everyday.  Everyone was so nice.  I think we are really going to like this speech therapist. 

We also have a new addition to the family.  A mommy bird made a nest in one of my flower pots and there were three eggs in it and one has hatched.  Payton has loved seeing the eggs and now like to see the baby bird from a far.  No worries we are not letting him get close.  We hope the other two will hatch soon. 

Well that is it from our house.   We had a great day and looking forward to tomorrow. 

Happy Thursday to you all.

So blessed!

Have you ever stepped back and look at what you have right in front of you.   I think most of us just live in the moment and never think about this.  Tonight I was outside with Payton and Braxton and took a step back and took a mental snap shot.  I wanted to remember the smile on Braxton's face when he was riding his tricycle up and down the sidewalk.  The way Payton runs when he sees a car and then laughs.  How they both want my attention at the same time and get mad when I can only listen to one of them at a time.  P and B are growing up so fast and I feel like I don't take a step back and look at them now and realize they will only be three and five for so long.   As a family I believe we realize how blessed we are by everything we have and the family that we are and I feel blessed that we will be able to grow as a family.  No matter what we are all blessed and have to remember to step back and appreciate the moments a little more.  Don't forget how blessed you are. 

A day in the life of PBJJ!

So what is going on with our family?  Glad you asked.  We have been busy with tee ball and school and just the normal activities of a three and five year old.  Would we have it any other way?  No way.  Here are some pictures. 

Happy 5th Birthday to Payton!

Payton is officially five today.  He is so excited to be 5.  We had a party on Saturday but we are also going out for supper where they will sing to him and make him wear a hat.  He asked for it.   Happy Birthday to my first born.  You are a blessing.  We love you!
