What A Doll

My wonderful and talented sister-in-law Ashley took Peyton out last week to take some photos of her in her Baptism Dress. Here are some of the beautiful photos she took. I can't believe how grown up she looks. As my mother-in-law would say, "What a doll!".

Saturday

We had a great day yesterday. The weather is finally starting to cool down and now we can start enjoying the outside again. When we woke up in the morning I took the girls outside for a bike ride. The girls enjoyed the freedom to ride around the cul-de-sac as many times as they wanted. After that my nephew Jaxon came over for a few hours and we played in the backyard for a while. Alexis decided she wanted to have some fun outside too so we let her have her first experience in the swing. She seemed to enjoy it but really all she wanted to do was chew on her toy.

Peyton loved pushing Alexis. At times I had to tell her not to push her so high but she was a great big sister.

Hailey enjoyed playing in the toy car and swinging too.

Jaxon really loves playing with the girls and he had a great time climbing the tree, swinging, and playing in the toy car.

I keep trying to get a picture of Alexis smiling but she seems to know when I have a camera in my hand because she just won't smile for me when I do. Oh well. She is getting so big and is getting such a cute personality. I just love days like yesterday.

Greco Roman Day

The 3rd grade at Peyton's school has been studying Greece and Rome and so today they had Greco Roman Day. They were suppose to dress in Toga's and they got to eat food from that region of the world. Here Peyton is in her Toga (thank you Aunt Amber for letting her use your old Toga from Junior Miss). Peyton really wanted a head piece to go with her toga so she went out back and picked leaves off the orange tree and we hot glued them together. It turned out perfect and she loved it. Here she is in her Toga and crown.

Of course Hailey wanted to make a crown too so we couldn't leave her out of the fun. Peyton had a great time dressing up and it was fun getting her ready for it.

Grandpa's Girl

Even though we live with Ryan's parents we don't see his dad very often because he is traveling a lot for work. So when he is in town he enjoys holding Alexis and singing to her. Over Conference weekend he was able to spend some good quality time with her and she really enjoyed it.

Don't pay attention to the nice hair do. We really don't do it very often so this is what she usually looks like.
I love this one since she is smiling at Grandpa.

Of course Hailey wanted to be part of the fun. She loves to joke around with Grandpa. My girls are lucky to have this time with their Grandparents. I am sure they will cherish these memories.
