ELMO & ABBY

Paityn Loves, loves, loves elmo and Abby off of Sesame Street. So when we herd they were coming to town, we new we had to get tickets! She freaked as soon as she saw the big elmo cardboard cutout! 

She could not take her eyes of them for a second!

2nd Annual gingerbread making skills

Got all the candy laid out and ready to start!

I think there was more eating then decorating going on!

All done, They look so Beautiful 

FIRST SNOW DAY OF THE SEASON

Sunday morning Paityn could not stop looking out the window saying "No, No, NO", in her mind she thinks she is saying SNOW! Mark and I were both so excited to take her out and play in the "NO".

18 MONTHS
Paityn has turned into a toddler over night! Her new things are...... When she wants to get down from high chair,car seat, shopping carts she says " I need a Hug". She loves to dress up in her tutu's, Necklaces, and hats. If we are going somewhere in the near future I have to some how get them off her and hide all of those things so she wont have a melt down from not wearing all of it out! Her imagination is growing, she has conversations with her stuffed toys, she also likes to feed gold fish to the characters on her dishes. Needless to say we get a good laugh every day, and we love this little girl. 

PaItYn'S fIrSt TiMe TrIcK OR TrEaTiNg
Paityn loved trick or treating! Its the first time I allowed her and even encouraged her to beg for food! She loved her little cat costume, when she would walk she had an extra waddle to her strut, probably so she could wag her tail!

Paityn's cute little friend Jaxon as Nemo!

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Mark and I have never dressed up for halloween, its not our thing.....So I thought. We went to a halloween party this year, and dressed up as "White Trash". Lets just say that Mark stayed in character the whole time and had some awesome dance moves that I was totally embarrassed of. He enjoyed it so much, we just might be dressing up every year from here on out!

Never a dull moment when dad is in charge! I can honestly say I would never of paired a postage box and a piece of rope for a good time!

BREAKFAST WITH THE WITCHES

Since my little girl LOVES, LOVES, LOVES food, I thought it would be fun to get in the spirit of Halloween and take her to eat with the witches! She Loved the food and cried because we could not get to it fast enough, she loved the singing and dancing that the witches performed, BUT.......She did not like it when a Witch wanted to hold her!

Gotta love the looks on there faces!!!!!

SKY VIEW FOOTBALL

For the last few months every other weekend we would drive up to Logan to watch Silas play ball! This year they made it to playoffs, they did awsome but lost to Ogden!

This was the first year they got there names on the back of there jerseys, it was a big deal!

Proud Dad!

Paityn was a good little cheerleader! 

PAITYN'S FIRST CIRCUS

Circus came to town, so we had to take little P! 

She loved all the singing and flashing strobe lights, and of course....the food!

 Down on the floor before the show, walking around like she is hot Stuff.

Yes I said walking! She has been walking about 2 or 3 weeks now, and I 

am loving it! I thought she wouldn't walk until she turned 2!

The elephant handstand was my most favorite! How cool is that!

The Animal Right Activists that were outside with there signs would

not agree with me though!

P loved the elephant with the dog! 

And how about that cowboy with his shiny bronze pants, WOW!

Paityn and her little friend Jaxon

Our friends went the same night as us, and seats were not filling so we got to sit next to eachother! We loved having the company, and by the looks of these two kids they enjoyed it as well!

TOY STORE

You know those toy stores that have all the fun unique kind of toys, and they always have tons of toys set out that you can play with, well thats where we wound up! The kids had so much fun goofing off and playing together, we are definitely gonna have to go back!

Hippie and an Alien.....Thats an interesting combo!

He makes such a cute princess

No Joke, it was free for them to ride this horse! the quarter machine was taped over and then it had a note that said "NO CHARGE, FREE". I dont think I have ever seen a free mechanical horse!

OnE oF tHe BoYs

Paityn loves hangin out with dad in the garage when he is tinkering around with something! When Mark is suppose to be watching her, you always find them in the garage and she is sitting in the sandrail, standing up in the back of the bed of a truck, or sometimes sitting next to mark while he is under some kind of vehicle! Today they were just revving the engine for fun on the motorcycle and she loved it! 

ZOO
   Mark and I have been waiting for a cooler day to take Paityn to the zoo, Wednsday was that day! She has been learning her animal noises latley, and everything was ooo..ahah (monkey) or EEEEE (Horse), we didnt tell her diffrent because it was so cute, and she was so happy! Never thought I would go to the zoo as an adult and enjoy it, but kids seem to change your perspective!

Cant go to the zoo without getting a pic by the drinking fountain lion!

Lions, Tigers, and Bears.....OH NO!

Just the girls checking out the Giraffs 

How big am I??

AFTERNOON AT THE PARK

 Paityn has been missing her little friend Jaxon because he has been sick! So when he was feeling better, we took the two to the park! They had so much fun, and enjoyed there play date!

 Paityn waiting for me to help her down the slide, and Jaxon right behind her teasing his mom through the bars!

This picture makes me laugh, he looks so un-comfy!

Little P loves the swings! She's got her hands up as if she were on a rollercoaster!
