I love these kids.

No More Training Wheels

She did it. In her own time but she did it and I couldn't be prouder. Training wheels are history. This daughter of mine has some stubborn apprehension. She provides us with multiple tests of our patience and perseverence and we love her for it. It makes these accomplishments well worth the wait.

Grammie's Here!

Birthday

Happy Birthday so my sweet sweet girl. I can't believe you are 8! We love you Payton Brynna Perkins!

Valentine's Date Night

Perkins surprised me with an evening out Sunday night in honor of Valentine's Day. Dressing up, yummy food, and no kids menu! Awesome... Pictures by Payton.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sick Day Creativity

The school called this afternoon. Payton wasn't feeling well and running a low grade fever. She explained to me after bouncing in the house "I can NOT feel well but still be chipper" Here is what she has been doing - creating a paper ballerina. After all don't most almost 8 year olds running fevers do arts and crafts?

Growing Up

That is the face of a young lady, not a little girl.

And is it just me or does he look like a little man?

Class Picture Day

She has a style all her own. I hope she never loses her flair for style, continues to be unique and never conforms. I love all her eccentricities.

Wyatt is 4

My little boy, my baby with his sweet face, with his temper tantrums, with his sweet loves at night, with his enormous amount of energy is 4. 4? What?

We love you Wyatt! Happy Birthday!

Marathon Nap

The boys napped today in order to rest up for the hockey game tonight. For 3 + hours they rested. Here is how I found them when I came home with Payton.
