Pagosa Springs Vacation

Had a great family reunion with my family in Pagosa Springs, CO. It is so beautiful there. We saw Jon's brother and family on the way down. Uncle Blaine was brave enough to hitch a ride with us in our van and sit between Trevor and Taylor the whole way. He is very good at handing out treats and sticking Payton's binky back in her mouth! I'm sure he really enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse and the 3 musketeers 100 times too!
Baily loved the animals at the County fair!
Beautiful lake, beautiful baby!
Fun hike to a cool waterfall over volcanic rock.
Had fun at Mesa Verde hiking into the ruins!
Went to Gator land and the sand dunes.
Uncle Blaine giving Taylor some tips.
Fore!
Baily always picks me flowers!
Baily always likes to walk "by herself", hmmm, she must be 2!

Makeup

Reason #13 Payton needs to learn to fall asleep on her own. This is what Baily did in 2 1/2 minutes while I was rocking Payton to sleep . Her eyes watered the rest of the day from all the eye shadow she put on her eyes. At least she learned to say "Purple"!

Lake Arrowhead

We made it back a couple weeks ago from a reunion with Jon's family at Lake Arrowhead in CA. We had a great time visiting with family, playing at the lake and hiking around. (Thanks Jessica for the great pictures and videos!)We hiked up to a fire lookout that had a great view.

The kids loved playing at the lake every day.

Fun with cousins.

The whole group.

The kids sang a couple songs at the talent show.
Here is "A mud puddle jumped on me" and "I like being little a lot".

Happy 4th!

We've had a busy week. We had a great 4th of July. We blessed Payton and had Jon's family out to visit. Then we were off to Lake Arrowhead in California for Jon's family reunion (pics to follow).

THE dress

I made Taylor and Baily these dresses for the summer. I had no idea how much Baily would love it. She wears it every chance she gets. It's starting to fall apart, but I'm glad she loves it so much, it is pretty cute to see.

Payton is 2 months

Payton is two months. Wow, time flies when you are sleep deprived. Ok, maybe not, but we are so busy, the last 2 months have gone fast. Payton is smiling and talking now, which is so fun. I love when they change from a screaming package of poop to a smiling and screaming package of poop!

Happy Father's Day

I took this picture last week with all good intentions of sending it to our Grandpa's and printing it out for our Daddy, but as life goes, I just now got it edited. So Happy late Father's day to our great Dad and Grandpa's!
