11 MONTHS OLD!

I don't know where this year has gone, but Peyton is 11 months old! We have had so much fun this summer. Mostly making messes.

She is walking all over the place now and can FINALLY stand back up when she falls. WOO HOO! Of course this means that she is everywhere and is no longer content with sitting and playing. No, she likes to be on the go. (Makes eating in restaurants fun.)

One more month until she's a YEAR OLD?! OMG!

Member Night at the Zoo

We finally made it to a Member Night (the last one of the summer). It was hot, hot, hot but we still had a great time.

We met the McCarleys and the Goffs there. We got to see a Galapagos eat a watermelon.

Peyton enjoyed riding on Daddy and walking around the reptile house.

Of course who doesn't love the carousel?!

Mendez Mini Reunion

Mom somehow pulled it off....I said I wouldn't believe it until I saw it, but she got the Gonzalez's and Mirales' here at the same time. They came from Illinois and Florida for just 3 short days, but we had a BLAST!!

The grandkids hit it off great! Peyton even found herself lots of new playmates.

We went swimming with the grandkids....

Even Mary Beth came down for a bit. Peyton loved taking things from her.

The food was delicious of course! We got cooking lessons from Aunt Vi & Vincent.

We even celebrated with some fireworks and sparklers.

Peyton took to everyone, especially my Godfather, Uncle Arnold. And she LOVED the Mexican sweet bread. Of course....she is my daughter!

It was great for the kids to all meet and get to play together. We miss them already!!! Come back soon!

My Girls' Busy Friday

Today we had an eventful day. Madison's last day of fantasy camp put on a showcase for the parents. It was Madison's first part in a "play." She was the Thin Fish. She had all of 4 lines, but she was so cute anyway!

Then we met Katelyn and our cousins at Bouncerific. It was Peyton's first time there since she's been mobile and she had a BLAST!! She walked ALL OVER the place and was just going around investigating everything and everyone!

Now Peyton is napping so we can head to Nana Pam's for a family reunion! Can't wait to post pics of that!!

The Rest of the Visit....

We had a great time with Grandpa & GiGi this week. Peyton was really getting into the walking and talking so it was lots of fun. Check out the 2 videos below.

She had fun outside in her car and Grandpa got a workout chasing Madison around on her bike.

We also went to the pool with Aunt Cheryl's crew and Grandpa & GiGi.

We went to Aunt Cheryl's to celebrate her early birthday. Peyton liked chasing Ellie and playing with Uncle Weston.

The 5th of July

Yes, another day another outfit. It's our last one. :-)

Today we were super excited b/c Grandpa & GiGi came to visit!!! We haven't seen them in so long. But it took Peyton no time to warm up to them.

We also had fun with our cousins, Colby & Bennett!

All the kids had fun on the Slip N' Slides!!

We put a little pool out for Peyton, but she didn't want to sit and play in it. She wanted to hang with the big kids. And the big kids wanted to hang with her apparently.

We had lots of fun in the yard playing baseball, swinging, and just chillin' out with family.

Even cousins Jen & Mike came for the day!!

And to play some Rock Band, of course.
