4 Months and Visitors

I LOVE the weekends!! I can't even tell you how much a love and look forward to the weekends. I seem to have a renewed energy come Thursday night. I guess just knowing I don't have to go to work for a few days and I get to stay home and enjoy 3 whole days with my boy, there is nothing better:) It was a good week and another fabulous weekend. We've had some visitors this week which we always love, my mom was here at the first of the week and then Grandma Alta and Glenda came to visit for the weekend. Peyton had his 4 month check up and he's just growing right up! Here are some pictures to enjoy:)

Look what Shaye caught Peyton doing, they text so young these days! (I think Dad might have set him up:)

"I'm not doing anything..."

What a cutie

Things I want to remember about Peyton at 4 months...

-He loves to suck on his two first fingers.

-He's full of lots smiles and giggles, really he has been such a happy guy lately and it's so much fun!

-He LOVES to look at himself in the mirror, especially when he's naked:) He jumps up and down and smiles from ear to ear at his good looking self. He does a little dance we call his two step, he mostly picks up his left foot and taps it up and down.

-He is enjoy tummy time much more than he used to and he's working real hard on rolling over but he hasn't quite got it yet.

-He can pretty much sit up on his own.

-He seems to have an easy going attitude and does well in many different situations.

-He loves a party! The more people the better, he loves to be close to the action and watch different people.

-We love him more each day, if that is even possible!?! Happy 4 months Peyton!

Here's Peyton giving GG those smiles she loves:)

Standing tall to show how big he's getting.

Horsey rides with GG. What a great weekend! Peyton definitely enjoyed it:)

Bath Time Fun

Peyton has been LOVING his bath time lately. He has been growing up so much this week he's had a lot of firsts! He's getting bigger so I graduated him from part of his bath tube that just kind held him in the water to the bigger part of his tube so he could sit up. He loved it! He discovered that he could splash and it was great! Arms and legs flying and water going every where! I got him out when he was still laughing and having fun cause I was afraid he was going to hurt himself with all the craziness:) Then he has gotten to big for cradle part that fits on the top of his pack and play that he has been sleeping in since day one so we have been working to transition him to his crib. It took a couple tries and some tweaks to his crib but yesterday he took his first nap in the crib and then slept the whole night in his crib!! I was so proud! My little boy is just growing up already:) It's been a great week with lots of firsts, we sure love you Peyton. You're growing up so fast and we love to watch every minute of it!

He's thinking this is pretty neat!

Getting so big!

Checking out his bath toys:)

No one likes to get out when the fun's over:(

Lovin' the airplane ride

Peyton and his best buddy, Daddy:)

Look at you getting so big!!

It was a Happy New Year!

This is going to be a random post. I wanted to post these pictures of Peyton in his cute New Year's shirts and then some other random ones but it was a wonderful New Year's and we are now enjoying 2011! Can you believe that?! It seems so crazy how the years have just flown by and I am sure they will just keep on flying!

Peyton's all ready to head out for the New Year's festivities at Mikkel's house, we had lots of fun eating good treats and playing games with friends.

Peyton loved sporting his shirt reminding everyone he was born in 2010:) I have decided that 2010 is a cool year to be born. It will always be easy to figure out how old he is:)

He never holds still, gotta love the blurry hands, he was getting excited.

These are some random family pictures that we took with my family over the Christmas holiday. My parents gave us all these cute matching sweaters, it was pretty funny when we all opened them at the same time:) You're wondering why we are all laughing? Well that is the only way we could get Trajen to smile so we all had to laugh real hard. It worked, Traj looks great, but the rest of us look a little silly! Tavin and Peyton don't seem to be phased by it:)

I love the last picture. It has been FREEZING here in Cedar so this is how we keep little Peyt warm when going out side, so cute.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It really has been the most wonderful time of the year this past weekend. We got to spend Christmas in Kanab and I must say that it was one of my favorites. We had such a fun time seeing lots of family and just enjoying ourselves. All of my brothers and sisters were home and we had a great time. Peyton also had a great time, he loves being around lots of people and just taking it all in. He is 3 1/2 months old now and learning and growing so much everyday. I love how he holds on to toys now and loves to try and get everything into his month. He especially loves to suck on his first two fingers and he loves to laugh and smile a lot! We'll do anything to get those smiles and laughs, we can't get enough of them!:) Peyton is a mover he doesn't like to hold still and he doesn't like to sit down. He prefers to stand and always wants to be facing the action so he can take it all in. Even though he is little I think he enjoyed his first Christmas and we especially enjoyed having him with us for his first Christmas. Here are a TON of pictures of all the special times.

First picture with Santa, thanks to the Glazier's for invited us over when Santa would be visiting.

All the grand kids with Santa. Traj looks more interested in Peyton's hands. They all look pretty excited. Tavin's not impressed and it looks like Peyt is yawning:)

Auntie Ems

On Christmas Eve the boys got to open one gift and it was these nice robes! Doesn't it make them look all grown up and fatherly?!:) They got to try them out by being the wiseman in the nativity that night.

Some how Peyton fell asleep with Uncle Brant despite all the chaos. If you look closely it looks like he is trying really hard to keep his eyes closed:)

Peyton made his debut in the annual Brown Family Nativity this year and played the part of baby Jesus. He did so great, didn't even make a peep and Rianne was the perfect Mary, it was so sweet.

Grandpa Brown as the narrator.

The wiseman looking good

The whole cast

The girls got matching slippers on Christmas Eve.

Christmas morning, here's Dad super stoked about his new weed torch!

Brandon reading is traditional poem for Mom and Dad to introduce their gifts. I think he must have just said this was the last Christmas he hoped to spend single, looks like they thought that was funny:)

Nate modeling his new snow pants and nice sweater, gotta love that pose!

Love the headband man

Now on to the Jackson's for more Christmas fun!

Peyton and Grandpa Jackson enjoyed opening his gifts, look at his smile he loves them!

Christmas day dinner! So glad Branson came to join us too!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and now onto a happy New Year!!

First Family Vacation

We just returned from our first family vacation and it was a complete success! The dentist I work for always takes the first week in December off so we decided to plan a little trip to California with my sister's family and our friends the Lee's. We had a fabulous time and it was SO nice to just be with my boys all day for a few days! We were able to stay at a great place right across the street thanks to Shaye's dad for letting us use their time share so we'd have somewhere to stay. It really was the best location we never got in the car the whole time we were there which makes things a lot less stressful not worrying about traffic and parking. Thanks Larry and Kelly:)

Here's the king of our castle enjoying some play time on our big bed!

Peyton was the best little traveler, we only stopped one time in Vegas, what a champ he did great! Thank goodness he sleeps so good in the car, (as long as we are moving that is:)

Disneyland here we come! Peyt liked Disneyland but I think Disneyland liked him even more! Everyone loved him, we were offered multiple 1st visit pins by workers that thought he was just too darn cute and one gave him an honorary citizen pin, plus you gotta love the baby swap on rides it worked out great and we never really had to wait in any lines.

Here's Traj and Shaye during one of our turns with the kids while the other parents went on Splash Mountain. All the little guys were sleeping but Traj kept us plenty entertained. We love this kid he says the funniest things these days.

Everything was decked out for Christmas and it was awesome! I love Christmas decorations and there it was everything Christmas!

Love those Mickey Mouse ears:)

The fireworks were awesome set to Christmas music

Then the streets were filled with lights and snow! It was so magical, plus I just can't get enough of Peyton in his cute little hat:)

The next day in California adventure we took Peyt on his first ride...as you can see from the pic he didn't love it. When it got dark he got sad, poor little guy it scared him, sorry.

The weather was great! The days were beautiful, the evenings were a little cooler, thus you can barely see Peyton all wrapped up here.

We had such a great time it went by too fast and we were sad to come home. Here are some others bonus pics of the little man lately.

This one is to funny this was the night we got home, I guess he was all tuckered out from the trip he was falling asleep on the couch.

Gotta love him in one of his cute Christmas sweaters, he's got a new one for every Sunday this month:)

So precious

He just can't keep these girls away! He loves his aunties Jen and Em:)
