Payton On The Greens


Here are some photos from Payton playing on the Golf Course at the Ginn. She had so much fun running up and down the hills. I never could have imagined that playing with a child could be so much fun and enjoyable! It's amazing how the little things she does can make my heart melt. Everyday I feel so blessed to have her.

2007 Christmas


I can’t believe that Christmas has already came and gone! It sure has been an eventful Christmas Season with a new baby in our family, Disney’s Very Merry Christmas, and all of the other fun Christmas activities. Christmas Eve and Christmas day were extremely relaxing and enjoyable. We started Christmas Eve off by going to Jonathon’s Dads house. Konnie and Ricky had a nice meal prepared and even had pizza for Geoffrey;). We got to hang out with Jonathon’s grandparents, aunt, and cousin. After that we went to Linda and Rick’s house to eat desserts and hang out.
Christmas morning Jonathon, Payton and I woke up at our house and opened presents and then went out to Ron and my mom’s house and spent the rest of the day there. We had a blast at my mom’s house. I love getting together with my brother and sister since I don’t get to see them all that much. I also got to spend time with my nieces Cameryn and Madison who are growing so fast! Madison is 3 years old and this year her and Payton got to play together… or I mean fight over toys;). We all had fun watching the two of them take each other’s toys. We want to thank all of our friends and family for making our Christmas so special.

Christmas Sunday Dinner With The Teets

The last few years we have done a Sunday Christmas Dinner at Linda and Rick’s house and this year was so AWESOME! Linda decorates the table very pretty and even had a gift sitting on the table for the girls. We had the most delicious meal and spent great quality time as a family. Linda sure does make the holidays special and I am so grateful to have her as my mother-in-law. Linda, Thanks for all that you do! I love you “Good Girl”;)!

Christmas Shopping With Payton



Today Payton and I decided to pack up and head to Sanford to finish up our Christmas shopping. I did accomplish a lot but it was very stressful with Payton. She is now 15 months and wants to explore everything so for her having to sit in a stroller is not that exciting. Luckily we found this play area at the Sanford mall. It was very nice and I would recommend it to anyone. It was so funny watching Payton because she was having the time of her life. She would run up to other children and start laughing so hard… they would look at her like she was crazy! I just love how much personality she has and how she is always happy and laughing.

Good Ol' Wal-mart



My good friend Summer came over tonight and we made Christmas goodies. We needed to grab some extra material so we decided to go on a shopping trip to good ol' Wal-mart. I had just feed and bathed Payton and put her John Deer shirt on and was going to change her, but Summer said that she would be perfectly fine at Wal-mart like this. I thought these photos were just price less! Only at Wal-mart can you take a baby in a diaper and John Deer shirt and feel perfectly comfortable ;)…I just love that store!

Linda's Girl's Only Party

This year all of the boys went on a boy's only ski trip so Linda had a girl's only Christmas party. It was lots of fun and great to hang out with all of the girls and not have to listen to one word about sports ;). However, I do miss my Jonathon! I don't know how I am going to manage with out him in February when he goes to Brazil for 12 days :(.

A Night With The Beehives

The Beehives came over tonight and we had a night filled with Christmas fun. It is such a pleasure to work with these girls... they are so sweet, polite and funny!


We started the night with Brianna's game of dressing each other in toliet paper to make snowman... they were kind of scary snowman!

Then the girls decorated Gingerbread Man.


Then we made Reindeer Food... my favorite!


We ended the night with Nellie's game and it was so funny. The girls had to break up into two groups and make a Santa Costume out of red wrapping paper and white tissue. As you can see I have some fashionable girls in the group.

My Most Treasured Possesion

We took our family photos tonight and got to the park 25 minutes late so we only had 5 minutes of light to work with, but I guess it made a pretty background;).




O the fun of family photos;)

Payton Meets Santa


Tonight Jonathon and I took Payton to see Santa. She was a little scared of him but I enjoyed it;). I think she told him that she wants a new brother or sister ;). O... and a new phone charger.
