Big Things Happen




Big things happen pretty quick when we are little. All within two weeks, Payton has gotten excited about going potty. Thanks to Payton's friend Gracie and Dum Dum pops we are officially potty training! 
Our little girl, is not so little any more. If you ask her, "Are you a baby..." She will respond, "No, I'm a big girl!" 
How true! Another friend let us barrow their toddler bed and... Payton LOVES it! We talked it up while we took down her crib and she is all smiles about it! Plus, now Malcolm can join her, which is a wonderful thing for Payton... not so much for Malcolm :) 
Don't blink, she will be in College soon!!!

Our Trip to Florida






At then end of May we took a trip to our parent's houses in Florida. We had 11 days to visit our favorite people and places that we miss out here in Texas. 
The first couple of days we spent with Jessica's family. Wayne and I got to sneak out for a date (what is that ;) ) and we had an awesome family day at the beach. It was PERFECT... not hot, not cool just enough clouds to make it perfect. They guys played ball, Cayden, Payton, Kendall and Taylor played in the sand and the rest of us got caught up on the latest funny stories. 
Next we headed off to visit our friends Carmen and Danielle. It had been a long time since we saw them and it felt good to catch up. Next, we visited with Wayne's parents Bill and Jeanne. It was Bill's 70th birthday! We had an awesome time with both of them. Everyone got some good qulity time with eachother. Payton learned how to play yahtzee. Wayne took me on ANOTHER DATE!!! We went to the opening night of Sex and the City... very satisfying :) On our way home we stopped by Todd and Michelle's house and then back to Karen and Dennis's before all 5 of us flew home to Texas. The girls got to come with us. We had another week of fun back here with tennis matches, bounce houses, cookouts and shopping.
