Peyton is 4 years old!

Today Peyton Elizabeth turns 4 years old.  We woke you up singing Happy Birthday and we made your favorite blueberry muffins for breakfast.  Hunter had his last basketball game so we went to watch him play.  After that we went to an arcade in the mall and you got to play lots of games.  You even played a few games of bowling.  We added up all of your tickets and you chose a pink and purple pig pillow pet.  That night some of our friends invited us over to cookout so we took over your giant cookie cake and everyone sang to you.  What a fun day. Another big deal about today is you get to start riding in your booster with just the car seat! Yeh. You are getting so big. I love you Peyton.

*** A few days after your birthday we had to get your four year old shots. These are the worst. You have to get 3 shots in your legs.  You were a tough girl but you sure let the doctors know you weren’t happy about it. You cried but you were definitely more angry. ha **

Hunter’s First Concert

Hunter – you have been begging to go to see Zac Brown Brand in concert.  Finally the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo concert schedule came out and Zac Brown was on it. You were so excited! Your dad and I got tickets and took you to the show. You had so much fun. You wished they had played more songs you knew from the rodeo but you belted out the songs that you did know. Fun night.

Peytons 4th Birthday Party

Peyton – this year you wanted your birthday party at Pump It Up and you wanted a Princess Theme.  Gran and Grandad came in town and Gran made everything look wonderful.  You invited a lot of friends and you had a blast! You were so worn out, you feel asleep before we even made it out of the parking lot.

Hunter lost a second tooth

Hunter – you lost your second tooth tonight. It has been loose for days and was hanging on by a thread.  After much twisting and pulling it back and forth, you were able to pull it out.

After your popsicle, you ran upstairs and put it in your tooth case next to your bed.  The next morning to woke up for find that the Tooth Fairy left you $2.

Merry Christmas

This year we had a Van Dyke Christmas so we were off to South Carolina.  We loved spending time with the family and the kids loved Santa coming to see them.  Hunter really wanted Skylander Giants and an electric scooter and Peyton wanted a bike and Doc McStuffins. The kids were spoiled rotten!

Meet Ranger

Meet the newest member of our family… Ranger Nedd.  I have had my heart set on a golden retriever puppy and when I finally got Eric on board, I rushed off to meet this little guy. It was love at first sight.  I am in love.  Born October 7, 2012.

First ornaments on the tree

I always buy the kids new ornaments for the Christmas tree. The ornaments always explain what the kids did or were into that year.  When we put the tree up the kids always get to pick their first ornaments and put them on the tree.  Hunter picked a Texans helmet and Peyton picked Dora. Fun tradition.
