April was such a crazy busy month! Mommy and Daddy closed on the new house on April 3!!! We moved on April 4th! Brody you were such a big helper. You loved helping carry things and move them. You worked so hard and for a long time! You didnt take a nap and did great!
April 4 - after moving all day, we went to Pastor Mal's birthday party. We did an Easter Egg hunt and had fun with friends from church. You loved finding the eggs on the trail Brody. Payton, all you wanted was one egg to chew on.
Sunday was Easter. Brody, the Easter bunny brought you Big Hero 6 movie!!! You are so obsessed with that right now! And of course some M&M's. Payton you got your first baby doll with a bottle and sippy cup and some yogurt puffs!
It took a little adjusting to our new house. Brody you did not quite get why we werent at the old house any more. The new room scared you a little at night by yourself. But you adjusted fairly quickly! A lot of April was spent unpacking in the evenings and getting things together!!!
Our days were pretty normal during the month. We had a lot to do at home but not many events going on. We had Amazing Race on April 24 and Lauren came and watched you all. You both did great as always! We also had the spaghetti auction for IHI. Brody, you literally danced in the middle of the gym for an hour. You thought it was a big chapel service!
Brody - you are doing well in school and learning so much. You really love to spell right now. You want us to spell everything for you! You are sleeping pretty well in your room but having a few issues. You love playing in your new big back yard, riding your electric car, playing with the bubble machine, playing hide and seek, doing your letters with play dough, writing your numbers on my phone, and playing with payton!
Payton - you took your first steps this month!!!! You took them on April 12, 2015 at life group. You took about 3-4 steps several times. We were so excited! You also started eating a few solids this month. You are obsessed with strawberries. You eat them all the time and love them! You hardly use your paci and you are sleeping much better! We did the Sleep Sense program and it worked for you! You sleep through the night (no more 2 feedings) and put yourself to sleep! Way to go sis! You love playing with your brother and "little people" toys. You also got another ear infection and double pink eye!!!

March 2015
March is a funa nd crazy month!
We got to have spring break this month!That means we had a week off together! We found out that we had to either extend our rent or move out. March was spent with a lot of house shopping and packing! But you kids rocked going with the flow. You are both a tad confused on what is going on but you are doing good!
We had snow days March 4 and 5! Payton-you HATE the snow! Brody you liked it and you loved sledding this year! Which makes me happy. I am so glad you like you now!! We played in the snow and sledded and went to little giggles.
Brody - you have had some nightmares lately. Some of the ones you have had was daddy putting fire on your head and Mr. Peabody was trying to kill you. I hate when you wake up crying and scared. Luckily, you calm down fairly quickly and go back to sleep pretty easily.
Payton - you got another ear infection!!! This is your 3rd in three months. It was a double ear infection this time!! They gave you augmentin and I hated it for you! It gave you diarrhea and that turned in to a horrible diaper rash. I felt horrible for you!!! After the meds were gone your bottom healed pretty quickly.
On Monday of Spring break we went to Tulsa. We took you kids to the zoo. Brody, you LOVED the sea lions and riding the train. Payton, you were happy in the stroller all day just looking around. We went from 10 am - 4 pm and you kids did not fuss once! Yall passed out in the car. We then went to see Eric and Sybil and their boys. Brody, you had fun playing dress up with them. We had dinner then headed home. Tuesday, we went to the park and hung out together. Wednesday, we went to Little Giggles with Cole and Finley and the park. We also got ice cream! Thursday and Friday we packed and got things ready to move.
It has been a fun month with you kiddos! You both are growing and learning so many new things. It is so fun to be your mommy! I love you both more than you will ever know!

Happy 1st Birthday Payton!
Payton Noelle,
You are 1 years old! I cannot believe it. It literally feels like just yesterday I was meeting you for the first time and now you are one!
You are such a joy sweet girl. You laugh/squeal can literally brighten up a room. You are cute as all get out! You are such a happy baby. Your nursery workers always say how happy you are and how great it is to have you in the room. And its true - because you light up any room!
You have brought more love into our lives and we are so thankful! I didn't realize I could love someone as much as Brody but I do! You! I love you both kiddos more than life!
Always remember how utterly beautiful you are. And remember your true beauty is from Jesus and that the world sells us lies on beauty. You are beautiful when you love instead of hate, when you forgive instead of holding onto something, when you give instead of receive, when you tell the truth instead of lie. Being beautiful isn't always easy, but it is always worth it. A beautiful soul will create a beautiful girl and a beautiful appearance!
Remember to keep God first. He is the most important thing in life. Remember that He will provide everything you need. Always look to Him and seek him 1st!
You are doing lots right now! You can WALK!!!! You can say mama, dada, bubba, bye bye. You can also wave bye bye. You like to scoot on your booty and crawl. You love holding Little People in your mouth and just crawling around with it. You love playing with bubba. You like to get into everything!!! You love bath time and splashing. You love smiling and laughing. You love strawberries and have starting eating cheese, turkey, avocados. You still nurse and you eat about 20 oz a day. You are finally sleeping through the night - wahoo!!!
Every day is a joy, blessing, and honor to be your mama. I hope we grow closer and closer as the years pass. I cannot wait to see what you become and watch you grow into a beautiful young woman! I love you more than you will ever know sweet p! Happy birthday!!
