Recent Happenings.....

School is out!  My summer has begun!  With that being said, the past couple of weeks leading up to school being out have been crazy and very busy.  So I thought I would finally update the blog and share what Payton and I have been up to.

Had to say goodbye to an AMAZING group of kids.  Not going to lie, one of my favorite groups.  Cried a lot saying bye to these fantastic kids.

Payton even made it into our school's yearbook!  :)  

We participated in our stake's 5K.  Nevermind the fact that we walked, and that we only did 1 lap instead of 2.  But hey it was starting to get hot and we were walking with some of our friends, we had 3 strollers, a dog and 5 adults in our group.  Lots of fun.  AND our ward won for most participants in the 5k :)

Lindsay sent us a package with this beauty in it, and Payton LOVES it!  We've worn it out for ice cream, and all over the house any day we possibly can.  She's such a cute little fairy.

I love how she's cuddling with her baby while she's sleeping.  

My last day of school was a busy one.  This is how I spent the first hour in the morning (I was running very late because of it, but oh so worth it!).  She was a cuddle bug.  Payton had a rough day that day and had a fever of 103 and threw up while taking a nap.  So I took her to the doctors and found out she has an ear infection.  We're getting better though :)

Payton just getting into anything she possibly can

 On Saturday night Payton was feeling better, so we went to Barnes & Noble and she made herself right at home.

After Barnes & Noble we went out to eat at Paradise Bakery.

Sunday was a rough day for us.  Payton woke up very uncomfortable and not happy.  Her antibiotics had given her an upset stomach and she was not happy.  I spent 6:00-11:00 holding and cuddling a crying baby.  I felt so bad for her.  Payton finally fell asleep in my arms and took a three and a half hour nap!  When she woke up she was in a much better mood!  She was also very determined to go "bye bye" so we decided to go to the temple and walk around.

Payton was dying to get in the water.  At one point she even took off her shoes, ran to the side and put her feet in.  

It was a very relaxing way to end the weekend and kick off our summer!
