Camping!
Memorial weekend we went camping with Katie and Jake! Peyton had so much fun and of course, was a walking dirt ball the whole time. As soon as we got there we changed her in the tent and as soon as she stepped out she tripped, fell and from then on was never clean! So excuse the dirty face in EVERY SINGLE picture! We had so much fun though and can't wait to do it again! 





Baby Showers!
Over the last few months I have been to 3 baby showers! My friend, Kelly, my sister, Kelli and my sister-in-law, Karen! I love showers and these were no exception! My friend's was amazing! Her mom is such a great hostess and always has cute ideas for food and decor! I wish I took more pictures when I was there, but here is the only one... Check her mom's blog out though and you will see what I mean!http://theprojecttable.blogspot.com/2011/05/kellys-baby-boy-shower-bow-ties-and.html We all met when we worked at Sports Authority, but they all went to Skyline with Kenny. I'm so glad I met this group of ladies and still remain friends!
At my sister's shower she made a belly cast for people to sign at her shower. I put it under my shirt and Peyton didn't understand what the heck was going on!
Here's a diaper cake I made for her shower!
She looks so pretty pregnant! And she is a fantastic mommy, by the way! Little Tommi was born on the 27th of June! And we are so happy she is finally here!
Karen's was fun too! It was a coed shower and those are always fun! Peyton loved all the balloons! Their baby isn't here yet, but we think any day now! We can't wait!
Here's the diaper cake I made for them!
4th of July!
Random stuff...
I love her kisses!
Peyton got her first fish! Her Great-Grandma Rosemary sent her some birthday money and we went to Walmart and got her a fish! SHE LOVES IT!
"Where's Peyton?
Not sure what this is all about...
Our little ham!
She loves posing when you tell her "CHEESE!"
"Cheese!"
I was changing the belt on our vacuum and she needed to replace hers too:)
We took my little sister and her boyfriend to a DiamondBacks game a few weeks ago. She is growing up way to fast too! Thomas and Kelli came, then Madi, a friend of Hailey's met up with us too!
She really likes bubbles!

She says "awwww" in a soft voice whenever she sees Tommi. And calls her "Baby Tom"

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!
She hated when we sang "Happy Birthday " to her!

Mother's Day 2011
For Mother's Day, we got an early tee time at San Marcos Golf Club in Chandler. They had a nice brunch that my aunt, grandma, and a few cousins met us at later after our round of golf. Our lunch was served with a few choices of salads, a lunch entree with a side, and a few choices of deserts. The cheesecake was PHENOMENAL! I also got a mimosa, which until my sisters wedding, I didn't realize how much I liked them! I'm a "special occasion" kind of drinker, but if I wasn't...I'd be in trouble! ;) Anyway, here are a few pictures from our round of golf! We had so much fun even if we "cheat". We have an inside joke with our family...Hailey "doesn't count" the strokes if her ball doesn't go more that 2 feet on the putting green, my mom doesn't count how many times it takes her to get the ball BACK into her own fairway and YES! I tee up everywhere my ball lands except the sand and putting green...Poor Kel tried to play, but it just wasn't working out for her.
And don't be mistaken, this is my little sister driving the ball, not swinging a bat! Haha!
Even though we had to chase a few balls down, I only lost one!

And this little sweet girl who made this special day possible for me:) Kenny dropped Peyton off with us for lunch after we were done playing.
So delicious!
