Party and Pictures

We went to Beaumont this past weekend for Jenna's birthday party and had a blast! Peyton kept running around saying Happy Happy Enna!!! That is her way of saying Happy Birthday Jenna! Really cute :) Below are pictures from this weekend - Enjoy.

The first is a picture of me about 30 years ago with a HUGE bow on my head... below the picture is the same picture of Peyton... Too bad she isn't scrunching her face up too... We don't look too much alike in this picture, but I thought it was cute that she and I have the same picture and it was unplanned :)

Circa 1979 or so...

Christmas 2008

Peyton and PaPa at the skating rink, fun times!!!

Clapping for all of the skaters, YEAH!!!! Look at them go :)

My teeth are nice and clean!

Dr. Williams checked them out and I am A-OK!

Bengie and sweet Sophie! She is about 15 days older than Peyton and
just as cute and sweet as Pey-Pey!

Yesterday was a scary ride home. I got caught in a hail storm. It came on SO fast... I had to find a place where a tree was hanging over the street and park under that. These are the pictures of the car and the street after the hailing finally stopped. It lasted about 5 minutes. That was, by far, the scariest 5 minutes of my life. I had Peyton with me and she was just chilling in the back seat watching her "moomie." That's movie is Peyton talk :) I wish I had been that calm... I was a bit freaked out. Only damage to the car was tons of hail damage. I was lucky!!! My friend Leslie lost her sun roof in her car and a kitchen window in her house. Another friend's wife's car got tons of damage! You can see it here: The Tap Family Blog

My sunroof with leaves and ice all over it!

It looks like snow on the road, but it is all ice!!!

Looks like snow!

More Pictures of the Babe!

Don't have much to write, but do have some pictures :) Enjoy!!

Hanging in San Antonio with my family (Mike's side) for a day of shopping!
It was a BLAST!!!! This was a shot of Patron, so yummy and smooth!

Chillin' at the mall.

I have found my new toy! A box... yes, a box!

The toy again :)

Again, my new toy. I LOVE it!!!

I got bit at school last week. I am ok, it looks worse than it was.

Playing Duck-Duck-Goose with the cousins :)

All of the cousins (great-grandkiddos) on Granny and
Papaw's bed at the lakehouse. They had SO much fun!!!!

Emma playing around.

Smiley!

This looks like she has an attitude, doesn't it!

Just Pictures

Good Morning! We have been so busy with baby showers and spending time with family! It has been great! Next weekend we are going to Beaumont to celebrate Jenna's b-day and then it's off to San Antonio for Emma's b-day! It will be great, and I PROMISE to get pictures. This weekend we are celebrating Emma's b-day here in Austin. Fun times will be had!!! Enjoy the pictures! Our little bundle of joy is growing so fast - 2 inches since her b-day!!! She is talking all of the time (see below in the video) and running everywhere. Needless to say, she is the ruler of our home :) And Mike and I LOVE it!

Sleeping while eating Craisins. Yep, she was tired!!

This was while she was sleeping...

Closer shot, she's holding on to the rails... too funny!

Our Peyton Burrito! All bundled up after her bath!

Fun with My Cousins!

This past weekend we went to San Antonio to visit Chris, Sean, Emma and Jack. My parents were coming in town to visit my brother, so we decided to make it a family affair. We had a great time and the kiddos had a BLAST!!! Here are some pictures from the weekend. Thanks Chris and Sean for letting us stay with you guys. We had so much fun!

Also, Peyton had her 15-month check-up on Friday. Yes, I have been able to somehow get out of taking Ms. Peyton to the Dr. when she has her appointments with shots. She now weighs 22.2 lbs and is 31 inches long! Can you believe it!!! She is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. She is just growing and changing each and every day!!! She is just amazing and we are having so much fun with her!

Oh, and Peyton now says Thank You! It is GREAT!!!!

Playing with all of the toys in the house :)

Baby Jack as Batman and singing Hannah Montana. Awesome!!!

Tubby time with Jack! They had so much fun.
Splashing and screaming and laughing - it was great!

More Fun with Peyton and Dinner Fun!!!

So, Peyton is almost 15 months old now - CRAZY!!! Just crazy! She is so active - she runs and yells and plays all day long. She also has added Thank You to her vocabulary! She's so smart... I know, I am a mom, I'm supposed to say that... But, I think she is pretty clever! Here are some pictures to see. In the pose below, I put up a video of her... Too cute I say :)

Peyton chillin' at Hooters, waiting for her dinner.

Peyton and Austin playing at school. Look at her looking at him - priceless :)

All smiles :)

Ok, check out the guy behind Peyton - look at his jeans...

I think he just purchased these. LOL!

A Chit-Chat with Ms. Peyton

Time is Flyin'

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this as good as I should... Time is seriously flying by. I wish I could bottle it all up and keep every memory, thought, smile, moment of my life. My life is truly complete with our little Peyton! She makes me smile every time I look at her. I was just telling my mom last night that this stage is the hardest and most fun stage we have been in. She is testing her limits, which is hard. But, she is talking all of the time and cracking us up! She has such a wonderful personality! It is great! Here are some pictures of her that I have been taking recently:

Cute overalls, hu!

This is her Doll's stroller, but Peyton seems to think that she belongs in it... Too funny!

Peyton loves refried beans!


This is Peyton's favorite thing to do lately. You will see more below too! She crawls underneath things and then tries to crawl out.

See what I mean...

This is what we call multi-tasking. She is playing with her board and watching Finding Nemo. She's pretty talented. :)

I LOVE this picture, just cute.

Peyton on her horse watching a movie. Not sure which one though.



Another maze for Pey-Pey...

HELP ME MOMMA!
Now, she is pissed that she is stuck.
