I'm not sure what I last blogged about, and what updates I have given, so I'm sorry if some of this is stuff you already know, but the most important is that Peyton is finally walking! Actually, for a little over a week now. She is all over the place and fast too! She is just so dang cute with her little sassy personality blooming more and more everyday. She loves to play, talk, dance to ANY music she hears, laugh, and then there's the dirty looks, fits and tantrums that it seems she has almost perfected. But, she really is such a happy, fun, loving, sweet, dramatic, PERFECT, baby girl. She can point to her belly, belly-button, foot, and will clap right after she does it because she knows we clap and say "good girl" She totally said "thank you" one morning too right after I gave her a cup of milk.

We can finally do piggy-tails! A milestone that every little girl can't get to fast enough! Well, unless you are lucky enough to be born with a ton of hair-which in P's case, she was unfortunate. I don't do it much because her hair just gets messed up in the carseat because it's not long enough to stay in the rubberband. She fills the basket up with blocks, and doesn't ride the horse like she is supposed to, but instead she just drags it all around. This is one of the toys that will make music and she just stands next to it and dances when it plays "Yankee Doodle"Funny story about this little baby carriage...Our little neighbor Dana, she is four. She loves to come over and play with Peyton because her little sister was just born about a month ago so obviously she is too small to play with. Anyway, she came over one day and I answered the door and she said, "Hi...um, would you like to buy this baby toy?" And I said, "ok, how much are you selling it for?" She said, "$85" Haha! I told her that I didn't want to take her toys and that she should save it for her little sister to play with when she gets bigger, but she ended up telling me that Peyton could just have it because her mom was making her get rid of some of her toys. She is such a cutie! But, Peyton kept trying to sit in it and kept getting stuck, then would cry because she couldn't get out so we finally had to put it away until she is a little older. Whenever you say, "Hello" she will put her hand up to her ear like she is holding a phone (this time she actually had a phone) and tries to say "Hello"...one day she said it and it was plain as day! We laughed because we were just expecting her to put her hand up to her ear.Kenny and I laugh HYSTERICALLY-literally holding our stomachs, rolling on the floor when she puts shorts on her head and just looks at us like this! She doesn't crack a smile or anything just puts on a little show-and apparently likes the reaction she gets from us because she does it all the time! At Home Depot one day, just playing around!Just waking up from a nice little nap!Then she popped her head up and instantly posed...what a ham! "Daddy, can I please have some more ice cream?We went to Tucson a few times last week because Auntie Hailey's team went to regionals for Allstars. They won state the week before, but ended up losing after going 2-2 at regionals. When does the game start? I'm bored!My little set-up at the games! Paige, our niece, moved up to Canada with her mom so we had a little going away party for her. We are upset that we won't see her as much as we're used to, but she seemed to be excited about not starting school until later and she was going to see her other grandma and grandpa on the way up. We will see her in December, but I'm sure it wont come fast enough! Peyton and some of her little cousins! Peyton didn't feel like cooperating at the moment. We have had a couple birthday parties too! Me and mommy at Trevor's and Jack's party at the park!Ethan's party at Peter Piper!Nana's birthday cake that Jen made! It was delicious too! Mine and Kenny's softball season came to an end this last friday too:( But, we won the whole darn thing! Woot Woot! We beat Subway, the team who almost goes undefeated EVERY season, and usually wins the Championship! We beat them 23-14 and they were UPSET! Kenny got into with one of the guys because 3 of them hit it right back at our pitcher and these guys can control exactly where they hit the ball. They didn't fight, but if our friend didn't get in the middle of it...who knows? Anyway, we won and that's all that matters! It was muggy and hot, but well worth playing almost two and a half hours in the miserable weather! Photo: Courtesy of Mal:) Thank you!
