August!!! We got to go to Orange Beach the first week of August with Nana and Papa and the Mosers. We had fun although, Brody, you had a bit of a hard time with some behavior issues. We are looking forward to you being back in school and having a routine. You do much better. But you both loved playing with your cousins.
Brody, you were not sure about the ocean at first. You just wanted to play in the sand. We finally got you in the ocean and you loved jumping the waves! We built sand castles, destroyed sand castles, found sea shells, and played in the water. Payton, you did not so much like the ocean. You did not like the way the sand felt on you and the water was too cold for you! :)
The resort had lots of pools and slides. Boy did yall love these! We spent lots of time swimming and you both loved it!! Brody, after your swim lessons you are swimming like a champ! Go under, down slides, and jumping in. Payton, you like to wade and swim in the water but not under yet. You will take swim lessons next summer!
After that we headed home. Mommy went back to work the next week and yall went to IHI for the last week of summer school there even though you hadnt gone in the summer. You both did great of course! Ms. Heather said Brody was a different kid and so well behaved! Good job bub. At least you behave well at school :) Just kidding! Payton, you were a champ - such an easy going baby. Good job sweet pea!
The next week IHI was out so Nana and Papa came and stayed wtih you. You had fun going to the community center, parks, and playing at home! Yall always love when they come and get spoiled! ;)
The next week started the school year for IHI. You both bumped up classes. Brody is now in Ms. Hollie's class with Ms. Cara Beth and Ms. Tammi and Payton is in Ms. Paulette's class with Ms. Tasha. You both love your classes and do awesome! Youre eating lunch well, napping well (for the most part...Brody :)), and doing great. We are so proud of the both of you. Mommmy wishes she could go part time - but with the cost still of day care and other things I cannot. But just know I want to but I am doing what is best for you guys and doing it because I love you. I am so proud you go to school like champs and do so well! Makes it easier on mommy being away from you!!
We had some youth events, church, lots of walks (and Brody you are learning your Stridor bike so well!), outside playing, Amazeum time, and just lots of fun with you guys! Payton, you had your 15 month check up with shots :(. You did great. Your iron is still a little low so we will check it again next month!

June and July 2015
School's out for the suuuuuuummmmmmeeeerrr!
Wahoo, mommy is so excited to have this time with you! I still had to work the first week of June so yall got some Nana and Papa time!
Brody - you started swim lessons. You were a little leery and cried for about the first two days of lessons. After that you slowly got better and better. By the end of it you were going under, jumping in, and actually liking swimming! We are so excited that you love swimming now and are enjoying it!!! It was well worth the money. Payton - you were a trooper and watched Bubs during lessons and just hung out. You are a very easy baby!
The next week, mommy and daddy headed to NYC for their anniversary trip!!! It was hard to leave you guys (especially for mommy) but yall did great!!! You went to Lolly and Peeps house. Mommy and daddy had a great time but sure missed you!!! We got home and had a couple weeks at home. We did some play dates with Cole and Finley, went to the library, went swimming, went to Little Giggles, and made lots of Forts and Lego towers at home.
Payton, we took you to the ENT the first week of June. On the 27th, you had tubes put in! You did great with the surgery but had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. You screamed....a lot. But by the evening you were awesome! Hopefully this will fix your ear issues!
We celebrated the 4th of July by watching Fireworks and First Baptist in Centerton and Brody loved the inflatables! Payton - not so much! But we had fun watching the fireworks and Brody, you really got into this year!
The next week, mommy and daddy headed to Louisville, Kentucky with the youth for Nazarene Youth Conference. Nana and Papa came to Bentonville. It rained a lot this week but yall at lots of fun at home, going to parks, and the "ummunity center" as Brody calls it. They have a pool there.
We missed you again! We got back and headed to Uncle Jared's wedding. Both did awesome during the wedding. Brody pulled you Payton down the isle in a wagon - so cute!!!
Then we had a few weeks at home. The Amazeum opened up in Bentonville so we got our year pass for it. Yall LOVED it! We will be going there often. We went three times in about a week and a half! There is so much fun stuff for you to do and it will be a great place to go in the winter too!!
We had so much fun with playdates with Cole and Finley to Little GIggles, the park, the splash pad, exploring creeks! We built forts and towers at home and went on lots of walks. We LOVE summer time although it went WAY to fast this year! :)
The first week of August we headed to Orange Beach for family vacation - but that will be in the August post. :)
We love you guys so much!!

May 2015
Happy May!! I cannot believe it is already May. School will be ending soon and summer will soon be starting! And I cannot wait!!!
Brody - you are finishing in Ms. Heather's class. You have done so well in there this year and I have seen you grow in so many ways. Your speech has taken off, you are more clear, you can participate in a classroom, and your personality is really coming out. You are more imaginative and you have friends that you love playing with!! You are good at counting (in English and Spanish), say your ABC's, count and do colors in Spanish. You are loving playing hide and seek. You really are in to Ninja turtles and ghost. You like to hold up your horns and say "Hook Em Horns!". You tell people you can't put them down either! Good Job Buddy!!!
Payton - you had a great year in Ms. Michelle's room! Everyone says how much they love you in there! You are offically walking every where this month! You were walking at your birthday, but as the month progressed you got better and better!! You did have your 1 year appointment and had to get 3 yucky shots and a finger prick! We have to give you some iron supplements, but you are overall healthy! You like to wave right now and say bye bye! You also got double pink eye! It was bad!!! Your left eye was swollen shut. You also had........you guessed it, another ear infection. We are headed to the ENT now.
The first weekend we had sweet Pea's birthday party! Everhett Emerson, Addison Bailey, Cole and Finley McElfresh, Hatcher and Hayes Harris were some of the kiddos who enjoyed your party!! We had Lolly and Peeps, Nana and Papa, Aunt Steph and Uncle Matt, and Uncle Jared and Aunt Kelsi all come down!! We loved celebrating you! It was a pink and gold theme and was so fun to do! We had it at our new house! We also got to enjoy first friday, the park, and chick fil a on your birthday!
This month we went to the Bentonville Film Festival, enjoyed time with family, got to celebrate being a mommy to 2 wonderful kids (yall got me a massage! and I had a crazy lady doing my massage :)), and spend time with daddy and grandparents.
IHI got out of school before mommy, so daddy stayed home with you for a week, then lolly came and stayed, then nana and papa came and stayed with you. We had lots of fun playing with you two and watching you grow!!
