Peyton's 2nd Birthday!

We celebrated her birthday the night before her actual birthday too because my mom and my Hailey had to fly out early the very next morning to New York! Hailey made All-American last summer at Nationals in Denver, CO and she did awesome in New York too! They played in Central Park and the pictures they sent us while they were there were so neat!!

She hated when we sang "Happy Birthday " to her! Make a wish! I'm the birthday girl so I don't have to wait! She saw the "Dora" plates!Mama and the birthday girl!On Friday, her actual birthday, we had Kenny's parents, Paige, my dad, Kelli, Thomas and Tommi over for pizza, cupcakes and ice cream! And once again, she hated being the center of attention.She got a lot of markers, crayons, colored pencils and pads of paper for her birthday! Everyone was asking what they should get her and I couldn't think of anything else, but art supplies bacause she loves to draw! Although, it was funny because Nana and Pop Pop Holmes got her a little leap frog computer. Then Kelli and Thomas walked in with her gift and said, "I think you are gonna have to take ours back" because it was the same thing...Then the next day Uncle Rod, Aunt Karen, and Paige gave her their gift, and it was ANOTHER one! She really likes playing with it and we have yet to try everything it does! It was a great idea!She had her own little cake and everyone else enjoyed cupcakes!Paige helping her open gifts!Kenny and I got her an easel with a chalkboard on one side and a white boeard on the other! She really liked it too and I was so happy because I was so excited to give it to her!Peyton has grown up so much these last couple of months and has learned so much! She can spell her own name which is something that she just picked up this week! She doesn't know how to write it just yet, but she spells it out for us! She really likes to draw smily faces like this too! She draws the hair and ears sometimes too...it's pretty cute!Yep, she's our little genious! We are starting to work on potty training more and she is getting the concept more and more each day! She loves getting ready with me in the mornings...she will sneak makeup out of my drawer and when I catch her she says "ah, pretty." She is so cute and always makes us laugh. The other day I caught her pulling all the tissues out of the boxes and I said, "excuse me missy!" She started saying "achoo, achoo" over and over! She is so fun and definitely has a mind of her own!
