Payton's Candyland Birthday Party

Family Photos

This looks like a lovely family shot right?...

Hmm..Yes this is how it went for 5 mins before hand to get that shot.

I saw on Pinterest a shot similar to this. Of course I have to bribe Alexis with a sucker to get this shot. I'll take it!

And Payton immediately after decided she was entirely too far away from Mommy.

And... the finished product after the cake! Lets just say certain things in her diaper were green for a few days. But she had a great time!

Being models is very exhausting for the Maher family.

Look Mom, No Hands

"Happy Birth Pay Pay"

52 Weeks

One year ago today I hadnt slept in 24 hours... and little did I know I wouldnt sleep the next 24 hours either. Literally, no sleep! Then the next three months went by where I got about 2 hours of sleep each night, on a good night. Now I have the most happy, sweet and beautiful little one year old. She sleeps 12 hours at night and naps once, sometimes twice a day. Who would have known it? Id like to say me... but Id be lying. 

Mommy, Daddy and Alexis love you so so much little Pay Pay! Cant wait to see what the next year brings.

Wedding Day

Payton in my wedding dress. A picture to give as a gift on her wedding day.

P.S. I would have pictures of Alexis but apparently she thought my dress was entirely too out of style for her to even try on. :)

Happy!

Alexis video chatted my dad this morning and told him she was gonna make him a happy. Since she had on her 'happy clothes', complete with 'happy glasses'.

I Found my Camera!

No more awful pictures with my incredibly slow camera phone!

Alexis' favorite day, Monday. The day we go to my parents' for dinner and have a HAPPPPY! And by Happy, we mean a charcoal grill. Alexis says the fire is like a birthday candle. So we celebrate a birthday every Monday night. Boy will she be upset when her birthday rolls around and the flame isnt that big.

Playing Blues Clues on Payton's early birthday present, picnic table. Decided to set it up inside for a little while before it got dirty outside.

Getting ready to enjoy some Toot's! Their favorite restaurant.
