Happy New Year Love Bugs!!! I cannot believe it is already a new year! 2014 held many exciting times for us! Payton joined our family, Brody turned 3, and many more things! I cannot wait to see what 2015 has in store for us!
We started the month off in Killeen for New Years then headed to Dallas for Christmas with mommy's side of the family. We got back home and hit the ground running with you kiddos going ack to school and mommy going back to work. We also got to celebrate mommy's birthday with some friends at Olive Garden! Yummy!
We did not have a whole lot going on this month outside of our normal routine. Payton, you decided to start only sleeping about 30 minutes at nap time. Mommy ordered you a Zipadee-Zip (we saw it on Shark Tank) and it has worked wonders. Now you sleep from about 1:30 to 2 hours at nap time at school! Brody, you have also had a hard time nappying recently. Some days you do, some days you dont. You NEED to all days.
It been pretty cold this month but we have had a few warm(er) days. On those days, we cannot keep you inside B man. You LOVE being outside! So we let you as long as your little nose and hands can handle it!!
We have gone up to the gym a few times this month at church. We take your electric Jeep Brody and your walker Payton. Brody, you drive all over the place and Payton you just walk away in that stroller! Yall love it! You did run into Payton once Brody. Scared mommy to death! But all was okay!
Brody, you are tenderhearted! If you ever think I am sad, you always say, "You ok mommy? Don't be sad!" Then you rub my back and try to make me feel better. You LOVE playing pretend!! You like to be Batman, Spiderman, a puppy, a frog, mommy, daddy, nana, papa, and a baby. Everyday you end up being one of these things! You love to pretend! You also love to be chased, chase others, and have us spin you in a circle! You love to be tickled. That sweet little laugh could cure any blues! You are also super routine! We play, eat dinner, take a bath, read our books and pray, watch a video, eat applesauce, play the "Baa" came for the first two lullaby songs, play the head game during Twinkle Twinkle, and then its off to sleep. During Baa, we each go to sleep then wake each other and say "Baa". Whoever is "awake" has to drive the one "asleep" to the doctor. We have to change their "batteries", then give a kiss on the cheek. then they wake up! The head game - you put your head on your pillow and your tush in the air. Then mommy and daddy push your bottom back and forth. Then, before we leave, you say your belly hurts and you need water. Then you always start saying random things "I dont find.....", "My leg hurts", "I need to say good night to daddy", etc. You are funny! You got to have Paul and Luke come over one night as well and you loved that!!! You also know that Mommy loves you "SSSSOOO MUCH" and "TO the moon and back".
Payton, you are a girl on a mission! You started CRAWLING this month! You started really crawling well on 1/29/15!! We cannot stop you now!! You LOVE it! You also love pulling yourself up. You love talking and making noises. You eat baby food lots! Your favorites are carrots, strawberries, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, peaches, and oatmeal. You don't like green beans or broccoli! You love bath time. You cry when we take you out. You LOVE splashing, especially with Brody! You stopped using your paci for a while but started again at the end of the month. Brody can also make you laugh and squeal so easily! You love seeing mama when she gets home. You are a mama's girl. You also give "kisses"! You go to sleep about 7 and wake up between 6:30-7. Some nights you go all night and some nights you need 1 feeding. You are so sweet and happy and full of life! You also got your second ear infection this month along with a 104 fever! Not fun. Mommy enjoyed cuddles but glad you bounced back quickly. Hopefully you dont keep getting them!
I love you two little bugs so much! Life with you is so fun!!! I love you more with each passing day. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you two. I am always there for you, will always support you, love you, and cherish you. I will always be your biggest fan. Thanks for making life so much better with you in it!

December 2014
Brody and Payton,
My oh my! December was quite the whirlwind of a month!!!! The first weekend Mommy and Daddy had to go to a Christmas party. This Christmas party was in Conway, AR which is about a 3 hour drive. Brody, your teacher, Ms. Heather, came over and watched you. The Snodgrass boys also came to our house. We rode with Mark and Lauren to Conway. Yall played with Ms. Lauren, got to eat pizza, played with Paul and Luke, watched videos, and had your first semi-sleep over! The boys left about 1:30 am when we got home. Paul said he told yall stories before going to sleep! Ms. P, you would not let Heather put you down! :)
The next morning, December 6th, we had Angel Breakfast. It is a breakfast for pre-school kids. We had pancakes and sausage and fruit. Then there were a bunch of activities for Brody to do along with lots of balloons! We also got to take our picture with the Angel. There was a petting zoo outside but you were not too interested B man.
December 13th, the next weekend, we went to Lowes Build and Grow. Brody, you got to build your own wooden train. You got to nail things in and make it! You really enjoyed it! Straight from there we went to the Bentonville Christmas Parade! Both kids enjoyed it but were pretty done by the end. Sweet P you are one heavy girl to hold for a long time. We had to switch you out! :)
The next day, Sunday, Brody you had your Christmas program with In His Image. You actually sang and participated this year. You seemed to really enjoy it!! It was very cute watching you!!! Sweet P, you did good staying quiet and watching brother! You both also got to take your picture with Santa Clause! This was the first time for Payton. Brody, this was the first time you actually told him what you wanted. You wanted a Race Car Track and a Bike!
December 16, we went to the mall and had pictures with Santa done there. You told him the same thing. Payton, you don't smile for pictures, but we got one with both of you looking!
December 21, we headed to OKC. We spent the night there with Josh and Mindy. Monday morning we got up and headed to Lolly and Peeps. Brody you were so excited!!! Both of you did well in the car!!! Monday we got there and hung out. We ran a few errands and just enjoyed being there.
Tuesday, Brody woke up with a strange rash on his face. It didn't bother you too much so we just got some cream and let you be. We went to the discovery zone in Bentonville. Brody, you loved the foam toys and balls. You also loved the thing where you put a ball in it and it goes in circles until it falls down the hole. Payton, you were just easy going in your stroller. We did notice your cheeks started getting really rosey.
Wednesday, Payton you woke up with a fever, red cheeks, and very fussy. We decided to take you to an Urgent Care clinic even though it was Christmas Eve. You ended up having Flu B and an ear infection. We got you Tamiflu and Amoxicillin. Mommy and daddy were feeling great either so we figured it was part of that in us too. When we got home daddy slept alot! That night we went and were able to get yall's footprints on plates! The next day you seemed much better Payton!
Christmas Day, Brody woke up about 7:15. We started gifts about 7:30. Brody, Santa brought you a race car track! Payton, Santa brought you a ride and push toy! You both got lots of toys!! Also for Christmas, Brody got a Leap Pad 2, a bike, a punch bag toy, games, clothes,play clay, shoes, puzzles, a toy box made by Papa, a table and chairs, cars, bath toys, stuffed animal, books, and plenty more. Payton got a sit and stand toy, a toy box, shoes, socks, bath toys, clothes, teethers, balls, dolls, stacking toys, and a cookie jar toy. We are very blessed with a family who spoils yall throughly!
Daddy went and slept for a while after gifts. Mommy wasnt feeling great but we stayed up with yall. At nap time, mommy slept a little too. We went to Aunt Kathy's house that night and saw all our family! Mommy got really sick that night.
The next day mommy and daddy went to the doctor. We got shots because we had strep!! No fun. Mommy started feeling better that night. We were able to hang out with more family Friday night!
Saturday we headed to Nana and Papa's house. It was a very long trip. Kids did pretty well but long. Sunday we went to church and saw lots of mommy's friends. Lynnlee and Chris came that night. Monday we hung out at the house and got ready for dinner. We opened present that night then had Christmas dinner together.
Tuesday, Daddy and Papa worked on toy boxes. Brody played with Cooper a lot and Mommy helped Nana with some things. Tuesday night we went to Spare Time and played bowling and laser tags and games. It was lots of fun!
New years eve, we worked more on toy boxes, ran some errands, and hung out. We had dinner together and watched the ball drop. New years day we did a little shopping, rested and got ready to go to Dallas.
Friday we headed to Dallas and got to see all of mommy's side of the fmaily. We got there that night. We played games, had pizza, and had fun. Saturday we went to Granny's aparmtment complex. We had breakfast together, opened gifts, and had lunch together. Brody, you had fun decorating cookies and playing the piano!!!
Brody, you are in a phase where you don't like to listen much. You are so independent and strong-willed. We are trying to figure out a happy medium where we allow you to still have a spirit and will and be happy, but also learn to obey and follow directions. It is tough for both of us!
Payton, you are a happy baby! You smile so much! You usually just wake once during the night. You eat 4-5 ounces at feedings and are eating baby food a couple times a day too. You LOVE to stand up and HATE being on your belly. You are ggetting close to crawling. You kick your legs on your belly.
