"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. :)

Found her 24 month photo so I thought it was worth reposting.

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.

Twins!

No.. I'm not pregnant! But Alexis apparently is the mother of twins. She has been spending hours everyday playing (excuse me.. taking care of) her babies.

You know that fear as a mom when you hear silence? Well I happen to hear it a lot lately, and yet each time of course I have to check it out; just in case. I go in the playroom to find Alexis soothing her babies to sleep, giving them bottles or blankies (fwankies as they are called in our house).  I always thought I deserved the "Mother of the Year" award... well Ill be darned if she isn't going to beat me for it this year!

Payton is a Mini Alex more and more every day! 

Alexis decided she wanted to be in a picture but scared the rest of the kids away because she had to be literally right next to the kids. Alex was the only one brave enough to stand next to her.

Clearly the girls have no time to stop and take a decent picture with their mommy!

At the end of the day they had so much fun with their cousins, aunt and grandma that they decided to pile in the car and go back to Louisville with them! 

Happy 21st Chelsei !!
