So I am really big on Peyton being polite. It's hard some times with all the other kids and grown ups and tv shows. I just try to make sure I say please and thank you, use kind words, and show respect to other people. I try to get Peyton to be polite. She is 2 1/2 so it's hard to know if she really understands. She is pretty good about remembering to say please and thank you. Mind you she is 2 so it's not all the time...and mind you I don't think she is perfect. But this little story is just something that melts my heart and I want to remember forever.
We were walking into Papa's pizza on Coburg Road and there was a younger guy that was walking in front of us to the door. He was sweet and opened the door for our family. Peyton was the first to walk in and what to you know.....she looked up to the guy and it the cutest voice said "thank you" as she walked in. Right then and there I just stopped and was just in awe that my daughter did that all on her own. So was the guy that opened the door. I think he was in shock that such a little thing knew to say thank you for holding the door open for her.
So I am so proud of her and all that hard work is actually paying off. I'm glad that she pays attention when I say stuff to her. I think she isn't listening but she is. I just want my children to be polite and respectful. So that when they grow up they will surround themselves with people that are that way too.

My little dare devil
So Nate put together a little jump thing off her bed the other day and of course she wanted to do it again today. So Mom had to set up all the cushions and blankets. I told her I would do it only if I could take some pictures. The light isn't very good in her room and it was early morning so we got the harsh light but I still think they are fun pictures. Enjoy. If you click on the images they are bigger.
I for some reason just love these next 2 pictures. I took them with a lensbaby so they are a little different. Plus I processed them different too. I love her.
Oh thanks for the congratulations. We are so excited. My due date is October 12th so it's still early but for some reason this pregnancy I have such a relaxed feeling about it. It took us 2 years to get pregnant with Peyton and this one was about 1.5, so we are happy. I have always wanted boys and would really love one now. But the only problem is that Peyton really wants a sister...and to be honest, so do I. I was going through all my baby stuff to give things back to my sister. Kelli is due end of May. All those beautiful girl clothes how can I not have another girl. Plus what I am going to do with all those girl clothes...anyone have boy clothes...I have none. The problem with a boy is that we don't have a name we both like. Girls names are EASY. My favorite right now is Hadley or Brianne (my sisters middle name) I love the idea of Bri for a nickname. Boys names...we like Keen or Cabe. But the middle name has to be William so its hard to find boys names we like. I REALLY like Dawson but it's not one Nate really likes so it's out. Naming your kid is SO hard. Oh....by the way, you have no idea how excited I am to have a newborn so I can take pictures. Oh...you guys might get sick of them.

Peyton and her new cousin
So we had my sister in-law over yesterday and she has 2 little girls. Selwyn and Olive. Olive is the newest member of our family. She is now 6 weeks old and is just too cute. I thought I would share a couple pictures.

the colors of spring
My sweet husband brought me home flowers today. I just love the idea that spring is coming in the near future. I love the smells and the colors so much. They are so sweet and I love that he loves me.
