October Fun

10/6 - We all went to the Scotland Festival! We got to see the Scottish cows, sheep herding dogs, Scottish games, and listen to the music. It was cold, but fun to spend time together as a family and to experience other cultures! Peyton really enjoyed seeing all the people and new things.
 
10/11 - Daddy was trying to wrap some coins, and Peyton wanted to help

 10/13 - We had planned a Daddy/Daughter shooting date at the farm, but it turned into just a family activity (which was just as fun). I had never shot a real gun before, so it was interesting to see how much fun it was!
 

10/15 - Peyton and Daddy have matching shirts. I am so lucky to have such handsome men love me...

10/19 - We stopped by the pumpkin patch near Nina's house and took pictures of our handsome 9 month old! He has grown so big. He is even starting to stand by himself!
 
10/20 - Isaac and Matt ran the men's 5k for the Liz Hurley Breast Cancer walk, then walked AGAIN in the women's 5k with Peyton and me! They were quite tired/sore the next day. Peyton had a blast, but started to get tired at the end. There was so much going on he didn't want to go to sleep! Matthew and I ended up carrying him for the last bit.
 
10/21 - Peyton meets Rupert, the new addition to Aaron and Lauren's family.
 
10/22 - Peyton has discovered the joy of unrolling the toilet paper. Pretty much every morning while I get ready, he is here, having fun.
 
10/22 - Peyton turned 9 months today!



 

10/27 - Silly hat!


 
 10/27 - New teeth!
 
10/30 - Isaac is leaving on his mission! We will miss him so much, but we know that he is doing the Lord's work. We are so proud of him! It will be a long 2 years...

10/31 - For Halloween, I made Peyton a Wolf outfit. I was Little Red Riding Hood and Matthew was the Hunter. It was so much fun to see all the costumes! Peyton even went trick or treating and helped pass out candy after he made his round.

8 Months Old!

 Peyton is 8 months old now! He can sit by himself wonderfully. He started to crawl on 9/1/12!! I have a video of his first attempts, which is really just scooching across the floor. In about a week he was crawling like a pro! He can go from sitting to hands and knees, and from hands and knees to sitting. Peyton has started to eat the dissolvable baby treats and he LOVES THEM. Actually, he loves eating period. We have also started giving him green beans, pears, things like that. He is very happy as long as he has food. Peyton is very curious, and likes to look in bags, boxes, and other things. I still can't believe how much he has grown! I was watching him sitting and playing one day, and I thought, "He is not a baby anymore... he is like a little boy!" Crazy...

Stupendous September

So. September. As before, I will tell the story of our lives through pictures :) I am really hoping that I am not missing anything because I just didn't take a picture that day. Oh well... Live and learn. I've learned that life keeps going, even when you aren't there or able to take a picture of it.

 Just had to put this picture on here. He is so adorable.

 On September 3, Anna and her family needed help to move things into Miss Donna's house, and also into the storage unit. John Michael loved having Peyton there! Whenever we had a break, John Michael would play with him and keep him busy. Below are more pictures.

Aunt Alison's wedding
(9/22/12)




 Peyton wouldn't take his afternoon nap all day. The moment we sat down for the wedding, he was out like a light. Figures. Took forever to wake him up for pictures.
Nina made Peyton's and Jacob's outfits for the wedding.
