Burger King "Cheese" Burger

We went to Burger King tonight for dinner before running some errands. Brian ordered Makenna some of their slider burgers. We couldn't get over how much of a perfect fit that little burger was for Makenna. She looked so adorable holding that "her size" cheeseburger. Once she figured out that I was snapping pictures, she started really cheesing it! That little girl is such a ham!

Tie-Dyed T-Shirts

Peyton and I tie-dyed some t-shirts on our Peyton-Mommy Day in addition to all of the other stuff we did last Monday (see below post). I just wanted to share a picture of our success!

Ethan's Birthday Party

Peyton's friend, Ethan had a Tae Kwon Do birthday party yesterday. They were given a lesson about focusing, they got to bust wood, and they even cut the cake with a huge sword! Thanks Tammy and Ethan for inviting us. We had a great time!

ABC's

Makenna loves to sing. Her favorite songs right now are ABC's, The Wheels on the Bus, and Ring Around the Rosies. My dad came over this afternoon and in an attempt to tune up Peyton's guitar, he and Makenna started singing their ABC's. Makenna can't say all of the letters but she does a great job singing the tune and clapping her knees to the beat. And when the song is over, she claps her hands and yells, "Yea!"

BFG Get Together

My family just recently joined a wonderful church that we've been going to since January. One of the neatest things about this church is the Bible Fellowship Groups that have formed (similar to small groups or bible study groups) and are mostly broken down by age. We have met some exciting and interesting families whom we have a lot in common. We try to get together socially and Friday night we got together for pizza/smores and a pool party. The kids were thrilled to be in the pool and had a great time getting to know one another. Makenna wanted to be in the pool so bad but Brian and I neither one had planned on swimming. So instead of fighting with her and trying to keep her away from the edge of the pool, one of our hosts gave us a tub filled with pool water. Makenna was sitting pretty in her very own pool! I hated that I didn't get any pictures of our friends...I'll try to do better next time.

My Wife is Great!!

I just want everyone to know that I have found myself more in love with my wife than I ever thought I could love anyone. She is just the most caring and wonderful person that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I am truly blessed!!!!

Tiff I love U!

First Day of School "Eve"

Tomorrow is the first day of another year of school. I can't believe that Peyton is starting 1st grade and I'm just trying to figure out where the time has gone. He learned so much last year in Kindergarten, I can only imagine how much he'll learn this year. He's very excited about a new year and it helps that his two buddies are in his new class too.

Peyton had his eyes checked and a general checkup last week. He's 52 pounds and 4'5". He's getting so big! He's one of the tallest out of his friends. I wonder how big he'll be at the end of 1st grade? With time flying so fast it won't take long to find out. It seems like yesterday he was sitting in my lap asking for a "nummy" (banana at 9 months).

Anyway...best wishes to everyone on a great upcoming school year!
