i Heart Faces Weekly Challenge - PAPER

This week's challenge at http://www.iheartfaces.com/ is Paper. So I instantly thought of when Payton was making a paper machete from a balloon. We were trying to create a Pumpkin Bowl for Halloween.  It was so messy she didn't want to wear her clothes. She was so into creating her craft that I couldn't get one smile from her. I think she liked it!

iHeartFaces Weekly Challenge "Orange"

My entry for this week at http://www.iheartfaces.com/ is of Payton when she was 1. Yes I have Mommy goggles on, but I think this picture is too cute of her. She always took her juice with her and still does. The only thing missing is her blankie!!

Halloween 2010

We had fun this Halloween. Payton is at that perfect age where she can enjoy it. She wasn't scared the entire night until she met up with the neighborhood witches and her own MomMom scared her with a BOO! She jumped out of my arms and said "I'm done, I wanna get out of here" Poor thing!

We went with the usual neighborhood gang. My cousin Linda and her granddaughter came down from up north and walked a little with us. It was nice to see them. Of course we did end up with too much candy. Most of the good chocolate went into the freezer. But what does everyone else do with all their candy?

Here are a few pics of the night...

 

Birthday

Tuesday was Scott's birthday. So to celebrate we went to my in-laws for a bb-q. It was nice, just our family, my in-laws and his Grandmother. I was happy that his Grandmother was able to come over. It's not very often we get to see her.
I always think about how lucky Payton is, let alone Scott. My Grandparents all died when I was very young. So I didn't get to spend much time with them. My Grandfather died in my teens, but we moved to FL when I was 13 and that was the last time I saw him. But Payton has 2 sets of Grandparents and a Great-Grandmother! A Great-Grandmother, that just amazes me. And even though she is not Jessica's biological Great-Grandmother, Jessica still loves her just the same. Payton actually let me take a few pictures of the 2 of them. I didn't get any of Jes and her because her tummy was too full of all the good food and slept most of the time on the couch.

Mickey's Not So Spooky Halloween

Last weekend we stayed a few days in Orlando and visited all of the theme parks. The first night there we went to DisneyWorld for the Mickey's Not So Spooky Halloween. Jessica and Natalie went of on there own, so I didn't get many pics of them. But I did get plenty of Payton. One special picture I got was of her with Donald and Daisey Duck. Before we even left for vacation, she said of all the characters she wanted to see that night was Donald. Well they were the ONLY characters that we saw there. What luck!

Here are a few pics of our night...
