Finally, Peyton's newborn photo's

So precious






Wayne didn't like the way this picture turned out. I love it...what do you think?






Such a handsome boy!




Showing us Peyton's nose





I LOVE this picture!











I made these blocks for her, but I don't like the way the pink turned out.

Happy 2nd Birthday Matthew!!

I can't believe it's been two years already. How fast it goes. Last year we had a HUGE Blue's Clues birthday party. This year we had an Elmo party. It was small this year because we couldn't go home. But my mom was here and we celebrated a yesterday just before she left to catch her plane home.
Matthew is so into Elmo now so we made him an Elmo cake. It was that or Wall-e which is is also big into that. But Elmo was an easier cake so we went with that.
I decided not to star tip the cake this year because of time. So we fluffed the iceing to make it look more furry like elmo. But I suggest not to buy whipped iceing when decorating a cake. It tends to melt and I had to fix it the next morning.




Playing with grandma

All ready for the party.

We handed Matt his first gift

and he had a complete melt down. But it was also nap time!

So I got it started for him and he came over and started to rip it open.






The excitment was just to exauhsting for her.

Trying to sneak a lick.


Seeing who can blow out the candle first!

DC Temple

My mom and I decided we wanted to go to the temple in DC. Unfortunetly our car only holds four. So Wayne decided to stay home with Peyton while my mom and I took Matt.
The temple is so beautiful it almost looks fake in the pictures. I wish we could have gone in. Sometime soon Wayne and I will have to go down and go in.




Matt found a deer and tried to fallow it down the hill. He ended up stepping off the edge before I could grab him and bounced down the hill. A grounds worker saw and came running over as I tried to find a way down to him. I was afraid he might have broken something it was such a big fall. But he was okay.




The clouds rolled in quick so we decided it was time to leave. We didn't want to drive through downtown DC during rush hour in the rain....so much for that.
We ended up in blinding rain right in the middle of DC during rush hour. We drove through the biggest puddle splashing some poor lady. We felt really bad but couldn't help but laugh. But we really did feel bad for her. Matt did really well during the car ride. It took us two hour to get up to the temple and another two to get back. It's only about a 45 minuet drive but traffic was insane the day we decided to go.
But I am now getting used to driving in DC and it's not to bad, I just hate the round abouts because it take going around about 4 times before you can make it into the right lane to get off!
