Jayden's first haircut!

We waited as long as we could, but poor little buddy's hair was in his eyes and hanging over his ears. He did great at the salon until it was time for the clippers over his ears and on the neckline.

Peytonisms

Peyton has always cracked us up with his wit and humor, but he has been especially funny lately.  We thought it would be fun to share some of his "Peyton-isms" with our friends and family!

Me (Frustrated):  Peyton, if you don't help me clean up then you won't watch diddly squat after bath time
Peyton:  What's Disney Slot?

Peyton:  My tummy is really full.  After bath, I will say "But Mommy I am so hungry" and you will say "You didn't eat your dinner so no snack and only water to drink" and I will say "Okay"
Me:  That sounds about right
Peyton (in a Ninja Turtle voice):  Totally...

Peyton: Why are we going to school so early today?
Me:  I have a meeting at work.  I think they are going to talk to us about money
30-45 second pause...
Peyton:  Are we still talking about money?
Me:  Sure
Peyton:  Okay, good, because a nickel... is that the small one?... a nickel is five points and a quarter is twenty five points.  If we have a dollar then we have a lot. 

This kid cracks me up!  These have all been within the last two days!

Love these little boys!

Out of the mouth of babes...

Matthew 21:16 (NLT)
They asked Jesus, "Do you hear what these children are saying?" "Yes," Jesus replied. "Haven't you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, 'You have taught children and infants to give you praise.'"

We had the opportunities to witness this verse from the Bible in action today.  Jayden has not been feeling very well since Sunday.  We took him to the pediatrician, and he doesn't have the flu or strep throat.  She said it was just a virus that would run its course.  Either way, he's been battling a fever and just feeling crummy.  Before he left for school this morning, Peyton walked over to his brother and said, "I want to pray for Jayden before we leave."  Our little mister then put his tiny hands together and prayed this prayer...

Dear God,

Please heal my brother Jayden.

Please make it so he doesn't cough anymore.

Please make it so he is better and can go to

school with me tomorrow.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

 

 

Let's just say that both of us were very proud at that moment - we witnessed God's Word in action first hand!  He is so good!

Got fish?

Today was Peyton's first time fishing. :) He and Daddy went over to Surprise Lake to enjoy the beautiful overcast day and try out his new fishing pole.  They had a great time watching the fish swim, but didn't get any bites! When they got home, Peyton couldn't wait to tell me about the worms and worm poop. He also informed me that they had to go in our fridge so they could fish next weekend... Joy! Overall, the boys had a great time and can't wait to go again soon!
