Peyton's 6th Birthday

This past weekend we celebrated Peyton turning 6! This year we kept it simple and let her pick 6-7 friends she wanted to go see a movie with after school. We started at Cold Stone to sing happy birthday and then walked over to the theaters. We saw a Dolphin Tale which was such a good movie. The kids loved it!

Happy Birthday Peyton. It is hard to believe 6 years have gone by. You have and are still growing in to a beautiful young lady. You have an amazing heart and are so loved by all that meet you. We can not wait to see what your future has in store for you. We love spending time with you and watching you interact with your friends. We love you so much!!!!





Birthday Beauty!

A few girls spent the night! Here they are the next morning with their Starbucks! (hot chocolate of course)
We got to celebrate a final time Sunday with the extended family!


Thank you to everyone who helped us spoil Peyton this weekend!

Pumpkin Patch

Today Presley's class went to the pumpkin patch so Presley, Piper and Nephew Jackson went. We went early but it was still hot for the kids. I didn't get that great of pictures because I was chasing these kids everywhere but here are a few for us to remember.

My favorite cowboy and cowgirl
These silly kids. They are so sweet together and have the best time together not matter they are doing. Presley loves this guy so much

Piper is 18 Months!

This adorable girl is 18 months old!! Time is just flying by with her and she is so fun to be around. I wish she could stay a little babe forever! All she wants to do is keep up with her sisters.

Here are her stats:
22 pounds 12 ounces
33 inches long

She is measuring right where Peyton and Presley were at this age!

Love you Cubby!

Presley and Alek

One of the big topics in our house this season is Alek. Alek is Presley's training horse. She started lessons at the end of August and is still LOVING every minute she gets to ride and spend time with this horse. He is the sweetest horse and so patient with her. I wasn't sure if this would be productive or not for her since she is so small and her feet don't reach the stirrups ( not sure how to spell that ), but holy moly has she learned so much and already riding the horse without someone leading her. Crazy to watch her up there.

Presley is learning how to groom and bathe the horses (they have 3 different types of brushes they have to use and in a certain order), she know how to turn, stop, and communicate with Alek, her posture is super strong and she knows all the terminolgy. As soon as she is tall enough to fit in the saddle correctly they are going to start trotting-yikes:)

She has such a love for these animals. She is so comfortable with them and loves on them like crazy when she is with them. Peyton is way more hesitant and mom is allergic so we tend to just watch as Presley wraps her arms around these horses.

Presley- keep on doing what your doing! You are amazing and it is so fun to see your smiling face when you are riding.







Disneyland Follow Up

Here are some more photos from our Disney trip! We love Disney around Halloween/Fall time and really enjoyed spending time as a family! The girls are growing up so fast...sniff sniff

Captain Hook was one of the first characters we saw....Piper wasn't a fan so sat out until Minnie came by to chat



Piper loved Minnie

Disneyland for Fall Break!

We took the girls to Disneyland for Fall Break! We had such a great time. This time Presley is tall enough to go on the "big kid" rides so she was able to go on Space Mountain! So fun! Even though the kids look terrified they said they loved it!! The trip was so fun and we were able to attend the Mickey Mouse's Trick or Treat Party which we haven't been to yet!

I will try and be better at blogging too! We have been busy and it is hard to keep up with everyone!
