Birthdays

We had a couple birthdays around here this weekend, and I'll follow up with some pic's.
Jenna turned 6, and payton turned 3. It is really hard to believe that my baby is 6. I swear it was yesterday that I was waiting at the airport for my hubby to come home off of his mission, and here we are with 2 kiddos.
Jenna
Some of Jenna's favorite things right now:
1. Hannah Montana, she can sing most hannah montana songs.
2. arts and crafts, She mostly got crafts for her birthday, because she told everyone that was what she wanted.
3. Junie B. Jones, she is a little girl in a book series that Jenna and I are reading. She reminds me of Ramona Quimby, from Ramona the pest. However, Junie B. is born in June, and she is graduating from kindergarten just like Jenna.
4. Horses, She loves horses!
5. Living close to her grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins!
6. Her swing set that her and Payton got for their birthdays.
7. cooking with mom, she loves to be a big helper!
8. Playing with her friends! She is very kind and considerate.
Jenna I love you! Thanks for being patient with mommy as I have learned to be your mommy. I wish I could keep you little forever, but I know you already have big plans. Your faith amazes me, and your excitement contagious. I'm so glad that I get to be your mommy!
Payton
Some of Payton's favorite thing right now:
1. Guns, and you love to go to the gun range with daddy, and shoot targets!
2. anything that has wheels and an engine, 4 wheelers, motorcycles you name it.
3. Sports, anything that you can play with a ball. You can even dribble a basketball!
4. Farming! You love to go to work with daddy!
5. Your super man blanket, you still love to be swaddled just like you did when you were an infant.
6. Watermelon, and popocorn! You would live off of these items!
7. Your sister, you sit on the porch periodically through your day, and watch for her bus to come home.
8. horses, and your cowboy boots! You were meant to be a cowboy!
Payton I love you, and your energetic little spirit! Thank you for being my little man! Your little grin and big sparkly blue eyes instantly melt my heart. I can't believe you just turned three. I wish you could be my baby for a little bit longer, but you are turning into such a big boy. Your laugh is like music to my ears. I am so glad that I get to be your mommy!

I loved reading about what your kids are into. Time really does fly by. Lauren just giggled looking at Payton. She said" Payton your so cute" and he would tell Lauren" yeah I know! (at Emma's baptisim) Hope their birthdays are Happy and wondreful! Miss you all.

Reading those sweet things you wrote about the kids, choked me up!! You are so smart and thoughtful to write all of these thoughts and memories down while they're still fresh in your mind. Thanks for the tissue time with this post! :)
