our trip to sheplers

***************************************UPDATE****************************************

i told you she was a kicker at heart
check out those purple rockie mountains!!!!!!

(that's a lamp shade on her head, and those are black rockie mountains she is wearing.
....there is a reason the curling iron is her bestfriend)

**************************************UPDATE*****************************************

we are gearing up for payton's barnyard birthday bash!
it is hard to believe i am planning her 2nd birthday already.
before payton was born(aka jonas) she was given a pair of boots but they didn't
fit yet so we were able to exchange them for her current size. e got a
pair too and they both looooove them.

sheplers has not changed one bit since 1992 when i was there last
with my family picking out brittanys rebe macintire outfit.
(she went through a "kicker" phase)

attempting potty training

...any advice?
she will sit down with
her pants on and
read a magazine.
sometimes i can get her diaper off
but nothing happens. she screams if i sit her on the big potty.

library valentine's party

last week the kiddos went to the library and got a sugar high!

for some reason i obsessed over this party....i was excited for paytons first valentine's party! i made her a shirt with a little birdie shaped heart and then heart shaped rice crispie treats.

amanda made cupcakes that everyone enjoyed!

payton gave

aspen a matching hair clip. i think it's funny how little hair payton has in the front and how much hair aspen has.
