The Swing

So my daughter hated this swing from the day we brought her home from the hospital, I have no clue what made me try it today but I did and she slept in it for 45 minutes and then woke up and was smiling, all happy! A small but meaningful milestone!

Kaleb's First Football Game

Kaleb had his first game this past Saturday! They WON!!! 7-6!! It was SOOOO hot, we thought we'd melt! They boys did great for their first game! This is a big change from last year, the coaches are NOT allowed to be on the field to help with positioning on the line and what not and they actually kick off...

My Second Grader

Kaleb started the 2nd grade today! I can't believe how fast he has grown. He is turning into such a great little man. I had to take all my pictures before he went to the bus with his friends! haha :)

Here are my two sleepy heads....

Before I woke him up.

Peyton didn't have to get up, lol, but she watched her big brother get on the bus!!!

When Kaleb came home and he was So excited. He loves his teacher, he has a lot of friends in his class and he gets to walk with the older kids down the Big hallway to his classroom!!

The Flood

So I'm not sure if many of you follow the weather out here on the East Coast but we just recently got slammed with some crazy thunder storms that dropped a ton of rain on us. We had gone out to dinner and within 2 hours it had rained so much that when we got back home we couldn't drive up to our house. I had to get out at the end of our street and wade to the house. At some points the water was almost up to my knees, I got us all over night clothes and we went and stayed at my parents. Thankfully there was no damage and just a bit of clean-up that needed to be done. We were very lucky it didn't flood our home. Here are some pictures....

This is Frankie's truck, you can see half our front yard is under water and you can not see the road.

This is actually a street that runs between our home (on left) and our neighbors, can't see the road at all until you look up closer to the hill and the water was actually rushing and carrying debri.

One Month Pictures!!!!

So we got our one month pictures done, and whether you can tell it or not Miss Peyton was sound asleep and did not want to wake up for her pictures... once we finally got her awake she would not smile, lol... but I think we turned out some really good pictures!!!! I can't believe how big she has gotten already.....

Extras! :)

My babygirl is One Month Old!!!

My little girl is growing so fast! It is unreal how much she has changed already. She is lifting her head off my shoulder for a little amount at a time. She loves to look around. She has started making all sorts of noises. I love every minute I get to spend with her. I dread when I have to go back to work. I miss her already just thinking about.

Here are a few pictures... We are getting her 1 month pictures taken this weekend..... Im so excited......

Peyton Elaine

Miss Peyton blessed our lives on July 13th, 2009 and she has been a joy ever since. She was born at 10:19am, weighing 7.8lbs and measuring at 20.8 inches long. Labor was fairly easy although the epidural did not work like it was suppose to.... ouch!!!

Kaleb has been great throughout this whole transition for our expanding family. He loves his little sister and he is very watchful over her. He is such a sweet boy. We are so very lucky to have two wonderful children.

Daddy has been wrapped around her little finger since the word go..... :)

We go for Peyton's one month check up this week... I can't believe how the time has flown by. Soon Kaleb will be starting school as a big second grader. He has already started his second season playing tackle football.... pictures to come! Life is busy but it is wonderful....
