Silence + Payton = Mischief

I was on the phone this morning with my Dad and realized it was quiet in the house-- too quiet. I peeked into Payton's room and this is what I saw:

All I want for Christmas is...

You guessed it... my two front teeth!

Sydney lost her first two teeth yesterday. Actually, the dentist had to pull her two front bottom teeth because the adult teeth are already starting to come in. She was very brave and even excited to have the dentist pull her teeth. She did great. Just before she went to bed she asked me about the Tooth Fairy. She was really worried. She wanted to make sure that she would not see the Tooth Fairy. She was worried about the Tooth Fairy being a Vampire. (Oops, probably my fault for talking about Twilight in her hearing)Anyway, to comfort her, we put her teeth in a little box on her dresser instead of under her pillow and I told her that the Tooth Fairy is probably Tinker Bell's cousin. Was that bad of me? Anyway, she felt much better and went to sleep happy. She woke up before 6am because she was so excited. The Tooth Fairy left her 40 cents. (She says $40.) I have heard that our Tooth Fairy is outdated and needs to account for inflation. I guess our Tooth Fairy owes Syd more money. But, since this is our Tooth Fairy's first time, we can't blame her!

Just because...

This morning while getting ready for the day it hit me just how adorable my girls are. Even though we were running a couple minutes late, I had to take a moment and snap a few pictures. I know I'm bias, but I think I have two of the cutest girls ever!

Giddy up, Cowgirl!

I bought this hat a few years ago as a joke for Brian to wear to work on Halloween. (He didn't wear it.) Sydney found it and claimed it for her dress-up box. Payton recently found it and loves it. She puts it on, smashes it up and even stands in it.

Lost & Found

To all my workout pals: I found the missing hair bow! It was in Payton's onesie all the way down by her diaper. How does that happen? Anyway, I appreciate your help scouring the gym. Enjoy your day. Hope you're not in too much pain!!

'Flour' Power!

It's official, Payton is now a get-into-everything-toddler! I was making sugar cookie dough last night in preparation for FHE and didn't realize I had a helper. She is so sneaky and quiet when in mischief. I had forgotten about that in past 4 years! I think she was proud of herself.

I think I forgot something...

Oh yeah, a bib!

Doesn't the bib look nice and clean? Too bad the child doesn't! Oh, well at least kids and their clothes wash!

Quirkity-Quirk-Quirk

So, I was tagged by my cousin Amber to list 6 quirks. I read her list and my other cousin Jessica's list and I think I have all of their quirks plus some of my own.
1. I am a bookworm: Once I start a book I physically cannot put it down until I am finished. Worse, if I start a series of books I cannot stop until I finish the series.
2. I hate when my rugs are crooked. I have to straighten them.
3. I can't handle it when my kids have runny noses. I have to wipe them before they get crusty.
4. I have to sleep on my left side. I cannot sleep any other way.
5. Also when I sleep, I have to have the blanket over my ears, but not over my face or I get claustrophobic.
6.I type everything. I type lists, letters, lessons, talks, you name it. I don't know why, but I don't feel "finished" until I type up my projects.
These are my quirks, what are yours? I tag my sisters, sister-in-laws and exercise group!

Our baby's growing up!

...And don't anyone say it's time for another one! So, Payton has seemed to grow up so much, so quickly just in the past month since her birthday. She doesn't consistently walk, but I am OK with that. I just don't remember Sydney growing up quite so quickly! Anyway, here are some pictures of our 'big girl'!
