Happy Birthday to Peyton!!

I can't believe our little Peyton turned TWO this past weekend!! I can't believe two years have gone by since he entered our lives but at the same time I don't really remember what life was like before we had him. I can't believe how much he is learning and changing all the time. He has become quite chatty and loves to repeat everything he hears. He loves to say "you ok Mommy?...hurry!...here you go...and I need water, juice, hold you, and anything else he can think of that he "needs". I love to watch him learn and figure things out. He loves to jump and shows his skills off for people all the time and he loves climbing. We have been celebrating his birthday for a couple weeks now and I think he quite enjoyed it! He loved blowing out the "fire" as he would say and opening presents. And of course he loved all the cake and ice cream:) We were in Kanab a few weeks ago so my mom decided to get him a little cake to let him blow out candles and open presents from her and gramps. He loved it and it was fun to watch him enjoy it.
Here he is flashing two fingers to let you know how old he is.
Got so excited to have us sing to him and see the "fire" he would get to blow out.
Umm that's some good cake:)
Yay, presents!! This was the first time he was really into opening them and really got what to do.
On his actual birthday we enjoyed opening more presents! He got so many fun things from so many people that love him, he is so lucky!! 

He loved this singing card from Great Grandpa Chuck and Connie. He couldn't believe that it started singing every time he opened it! 
Exhausted after opening all those presents! He had to try on his new tennis shoes from GG, he loves them!!
Aunt Janet was so nice to invite Peyton to come over for a nice swim for his birthday! He loved it and she even let him invite his cousins to come enjoy the fun with him! He is the king of the pool on his special day.
More cake and candles for him to blow out. Take notice of how nicely the letter are placed on the cake. Shaye was the cake decorator. I was going to do it but he pushed me aside and said he would take care of it. He did a great job I think!
He was so excited he blew the candles out before we finished singing the song!
So we had to light them and do it again...he didn't mind:)
