I though socks were for feet...

Peyton hates socks on his feet. But apparantly they are just right for his hands. LOL He has been wearing those socks on his hands all morning and it hasnt slowed him down one bit. Silly kid.

Happy 2nd Birthday Peyton!

Today my baby turned 2!! Happy Birthday Baby, er um I mean big boy!

We had his birthday party today and it was a complete success.

Picking the pumpkins out of the garden for party favors.




The big day!



I got these little pumpkin head kit things for the kids and figured that we would use the pumpkins out of the garden for the kids.





Time for presents! Yes, before cake, but I wanted to catch him while he was in a god mood.




Mmmm, birthday cake time. He started clapping while we sang happy birthday for him. It was so cute. And big brother had to help blow the candles, Peyton didn quite get it.



Why you dont give a two year old a plastic spoon, he will bite it and get his lip stuck in he crack he made. I didnt realize this until AFTER I took the picture. I felt so bad.



And the big hit! His tractor.

A VERY last minute mini vacation.

On Thursday Michael and I made a very last minute decision to go to his sister's house in Winnemucca, NV. I had three days off from babysitting and Michael had Friday and all this week off. So, 6pm Thursday we decided to leave on Friday. So, Friday morning the kids invaded our bed at 3:30am and dh and I gave up on sleeping and were gone by 5am. So, we went to Winnemucca and just hung out for a few days. Then we were supposed to come home on Sunday but I was really unmotivated so I called my daycre mommy and found out that I wouldnt have the baby so I didnt need to be home until her older one got out of school. Monday found out I didnt have to get the older one from school so we decided to then take the kids toVirginia City, NV to ride the train. That was the fun part of the trip. LOL We got home at about 8:30pm last night, man were we pooped. So, as usual, our trip in pictures.

He wrecked the firetruck!

Tonight Jordan had a seriously bad day. He first fell off the bar stool in the kitchen and then he wrecked his brother's firetruck. During his course of events he completely split open his chin. Ouch!



Mom to the rescue. I had to take 2 butterfly bandages and squeeze it together. I thought we needed a trip to the ER, but dad thought i was just a "scrape". Uh huh. I still think otherwise.



Well, the Jordan decided to use his face to help himself climb up into his bed. Yup, you guessed it. Started to bleed again. Really bad.




The operating table.


This time Mom decided to really gause it up good. Let's hope it holds and he doesnt bleed anymore.

Playing Suzy Homemaker

Today I got the bug to make stuff with fruit. So, I made 32oz of applesauceand 5-8oz containers of raspberry/strawberry freezer jam.



Now that I'm done I dont know why I havent made freezer jam before. It is so easy! Two bags of frozen fruit, yes I kno I could have used fresh but I didnt know when I would get to it and didnt want it to go to waste. So, 2 bags of frozen fruit, one strawberry and one rasperry. 1.5 cups of sugar, package of Bell's freezer jam mix, and boom! Your done. Well, almost. I used the food processor to crush my fruit. JOrdan thought it was yummy and asked for a bit in a bowl with a spoon. Silly boy.

Jordan found the coolest thing yesterday.

I think it is a cacoon. He was digging in the rocks outside and came across this.





He had no idea what it was. Totally freaked and amazed he came in the house, he refused to touch it. LOL I went out and it was wierd. One end of moved a bit and the other not at all. It is wierd. I have never seen one up close before. So, we put in a jar with holes in the lid and are going to wait and see what type of butterfly it turns into.
