Sweet Blessings

Peyton and Jayden are so funny! They definitely have Joey's sense of humor! Tonight they both made me chuckle, so I thought  I'd share. 

After racing upstairs, I told Peyton to say "Neener, Neener Peyton won."  When Joey got into earshot, Peyton said, "Neener, Neener I've got a wiener!"  We both cracked up and when asked who he heard that room, his response was "No one. I just made it up."  This kid cracks me up! 

Then at bedtime, I was reading a Sesame Street book with Jayden. We were naming the characters and pointing at them. I said, "This is the Count. Can you say Count?" His sweet little voice said, "three, four, three, four" So precious!!!  

These two little boys are such a blessing. Thank you, God, for my two little heartbeats!

Fun with Grammy




We came home from Las Vegas with enough time to empty our bags before heading to the airport to pick up Grammy Pammy!  We had not seen her since Thanksgiving, so to say we were excited was understatement!  Peyton was running circles in the airport while we waited for her to come through security.  :)  Here are a few pictures from our fun days with her!

 
Two peas in a pod on the way home from the airport - having a ball and laughing all the way!
 

Grammy's baker - they were rolling dough for cookies!


A little late night baking to make everyone smile!


They had a "camp out" the last two nights she was here, complete with a sleeping bag and lantern!  Our big boy slept downstairs on his couch ALL NIGHT both nights.  :)


It must have been an intense moment in Finding Nemo.  Maybe they were trying to figure out what the whale was saying, lol!


The quality isn't good, but still love it!


Peyton and Owen at Chuck E Cheese!


Come on, guys, let's go swimming!


Big boy doesn't need water wings or any help... he's just chillaxin'


Our last afternoon with Grammy.  We had lunch and played games at Chuck E Cheese before she left.  We love her and miss her already!

Viva Las Vegas





We have been taking a vacation during the week of July 4th every year since we got married.  After having kids, our destination always seems to be either Michigan or Las Vegas.  This year, our car drove us back to Las Vegas for another great week of sun, fun, and a little gambling.  Below are some pictures to document our awesome week!

Peyton was so excited to go swimming as soon as we got there!
 
After swimming at Sharie and Bill's hotel pool, Jayden was wondering if there was a "hide-a-bed" in their room!


After some swimming, we kicked off our first night checking out the strip!  Here we are in front of Lady Liberty!


Peyton loves going to the Castle (Excalibur) to play in the Fun Dungeon!  In this picture, he's taking out some aliens!


Jayden and Mama at dinner on Tuesday night!


Checking out the gift shops on Tuesday night in New York New York.  The boys wore fancy hats!


"Cheese!"  and Happy 4th of July!


It was a late night... Happy 4th of July!


Checking out the Conservatory at Bellagio on July 4th!


A little less than traditional July 4th lunch at Caesar's Palace!


 Here's a montage of other photos from our trip... Bumblebee met us there so we could give him the All-Spark that we picked up at the Hoover Dam!
