Peyton’s Week of Birthday Fun!

Birthdays here are definitely turning into a week long “festival”!  Peyton’s actual birthday is April 21st, but with it being so close to Easter we decided to celebrate with his parties, yes I said parties, the weekend before.  So on the 16th we scheduled his bowling party with his friends from school.  Unfortunately I can’t share the pictures of Peyton with his friends, but I did get some cute ones of Peyton and Jaxson together.

Later that evening we had a party with Jason’s family.  And then on Sunday evening we had dinner at my mom and dad’s with another party for my family.  Wow, what a weekend! 

Peyton got lucky and spring break at school started on the 21st, his actual birthday.  We made homemade pizza for dinner and he opened his presents from us.  The following night Jason and I took him out to dinner, just the 3 of us.  It’s important to me that we spend a little one on one time for their birthdays.  We decided it would be fun to go to Hibatchi’s, where they cook your dinner right at your table.  Unfortunately when we got there, it was an hour and a half wait for seating!  Unbelievable!!  Plans changed and we ended up at Red Lobster (15 minute wait) where he tried all kinds of new food – clam strips, scallops, crab legs, etc. etc.  It was kind of fun for him to be soooo grown up and try all the new feed, even though we were all pretty disappointed that our original plans for dinner didn’t work out.  All in all it was a pretty great night and nice to have the time to just sit and talk with him. 

Love you Peyton and I hope you had a great 7th birthday!!!

Latest POLP Get Together - Baltimore Aquarium

We are so unbelievably lucky to live in an area with so many LP friends.  Our latest trip was to the Baltimore Aquarium where we met up with lots and lots of our friends.  Peyton has become quite the best bud with Preston so we got to spend our day checking out most of the aquarium with him and Kim.

I have no idea why the water turned out yellow in these pictures, but they were still pretty awesome.

Jude and Jaxson were having a great time pointing out all the fish.

Lost and Found……

So I’m really not as good about blogging as I wish I was…….That being said, I’ve got quite a few posts to try to catch up on.  This is what we were doing a couple of months ago.

Peyton lost a few things………

He lost his two bottom front teeth about a month or so prior and has really been working on the top teeth.  He REALLY wanted to lose a tooth at school because they give you a little treasure box to put it in and take home.  So, one day I came home from work to find this beautiful smiling face!

About three days later we got this…..

Missing all four of your front teeth is the best according to Peyton because now he can put a straw in his mouth without even opening it! 

And at our house we also FOUND a little something……..musical talent!

Peyton’s Aunt gave him this paper jams guitar for Christmas.  It is the coolest thing!  Jaxson got a hold of it and ROCKED OUT!!!

Peyton joined in before the night was over playing on his guitar from Nashville.  We had such a great time at the concert!
