From a Pirate to a Witch

We ordered Paytins Pirate outfit and it came a size to small (their mistake) I could have reordered it but it would have arrived November 1st so we had to go buy a costume, Paytin decided on the witch...it is still very cute but I was all excited about the pirate...or well.

So Busy!

I have new pictures to post but I have been so busy. I am in the works on taking my nephews Senior Pictures, Planning for Halloween, Taking Care of the Girls, Having a Jewlery Party Today and on and on and on...so with any luck I will be able to post tonight, sure wish they would get high speed internet here so it wouldnt take forever, then everyone would be sick of me!

Awwww

The title says it all. Poor Avary always gets me in her face with a camara...but I think she likes it!

Playing Cars

Paytin and I enjoyed Avarys nap today with a nice game of "try to push the car down our old crapy sidewalk"

it didnt work to well but we had fun!

One Year Ago

This was taken one year ago of Paytin and Uncle Eric. It's AMAZING what 1 little year can do!

Bye Bye New Born

My New Born Baby is gone! I cant belive how fast it went! She is 2 seconds from being able to roll over on her own and moves herself around in a circle when she is on her back. Paytin shows her how to roll over almost everyday, and everyday Avary looks at her like she is nuts!

My New Favorite!

Paytin is still in love with Avary. Although it is not as often she still tells me thank you for Avary. "Thank you Mom" I love it! :)

Fun with Daddy

Avary has alittle bit of growing to do before she can fit in that hat! She was really haming it up for Daniel before he left tonight.

Our Wish For Both of Them!

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,And each road leads you where you want to go,And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.And if one door opens to another door closed,I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,But more than anything, more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,All the ones who love you, in the place you left,I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,And you help somebody every chance you get,Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,And you always give more than you take.But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.This is my wishI hope you know somebody loves you May all your dreams stay big!

I just love this song by Rascal Flatts! Makes me cry every time! :)

Spooky Spider

Happy Halloween a little early!

Avary is "So Big"

We had a well baby on Monday :( but at least I got to find out what she weighs! She is 11 pounds 7 oz and 23 inc! Her birth weight was 6 pounds 3.5 oz 20 inc! I cant believe how big she has gotten already!

Enjoying Fall

It was so nice today (before the rain)
Paytin and I had to get out and enjoy it!

Pink Hat

Messin With Color

A Slide?

Paytin has a wonderful playset, but just like a box is better then the actual toy that came in it, the cellar door is a better slide then her real slide!!!???

Happy Fall

Uncle Eric

Uncle Eric stopped by on friday night to see Paytin and Avary. I think he secretly wants some kids of his own! :)

Dress Up

Oh No Mommy Has Her camera Out!

We have been having so much fun taking pictures (okay I have probably been having more fun then them, but it keeps us all entertained!)

It rained!

Paytin had to make sure the water was off of everyone of her toys! Now if she could only get the dirt off of everything! :)

Oh so pretty

At last... a new camara!

Just got it today so we had to give it a bit of a try out!

In Loving Memory Of Uncle Donnie

Lived a good life, loved a good wife, and always helped someone in trouble On the day they lay me down I want everyone to gather ‘round And say he was a father, brother, neighbour and a friend He was a good man...

Paytin the Clown

Great Aunt Cindy brought over some stuff to put in Paytin and Avary's Room, some of which ended up on the end of Paytins nose! Paytin's clown nose is part of a flower sticker.

Avary's Baptism

Except for the fact that Avary had a very cranky day before her baptism it went rather well. Her sponsers were Daniel's brother Chuck and my cousin Kylee. We had a reception at our house after she recieved a lot of nice things and it was great to have everyone who came, together.

Waiting for Thunder!

Paytin and Papa Flammang were waiting for thunder the other night. Paytin had fun waiting for it to storm and might have even got a few flies!

Almost 5 Weeks Old and So Awake

She is really starting to grow out of sleeping all day! She loves to be talked to and even cracked her first real smile the other day! Seems like it is all going so fast again, but every new stage is a blessing.

Washing daddies "Big Truck"

Anything to do with that "big truck" and Paytin is right there! I think she would go with him all week if she could. Every blue truck that goes by our house all week is daddy. She had a ton of fun today washing it with daddy. The fact that it was 100 degrees out today probably helped making getting all wet fun. I'm sure next summer we will have both girls washing, instead this year Avary took a nice long nap! :)

Mess, Mess, Mess

Thats what Paytin had to say after she finished her ice cream cone. She really got into eating it, as you can tell! She took my spoon from me and scooped it in, but I dont think it made the process any neater!

4 Hour Nap?!!!

Paytin tried out our new furniture this afternoon, it must be comfey even to her because she has never taken more than a two hour nap in her life!

I love Aaray

Paytin loves her Aaray! Aaray being the best she can say Avary, at the moment!
Too Cute

Avarys 3 Weeks Old!

How time does fly when your having fun (or hardly awake!) We are enjoying her so much, I couldn't have wished for Paytin to love her more or for her to be as good of a baby as she is!

3 Sisters

Quinlynn, Paytin and Avary

3 Sisters

Quinlynn got to meet Avary today! Paytin was also excited to get to play with her sister.

I AM SO BLESSED!

Cant believe I have been so blessed! To have all 3 of them!

Sisters

Paytin has found that you just cant watch T.V. without Avary! She has been such a good little mommy, already throughs Avarys diapers away when we change them without being asked!

Avary is Here

Avary Grace Porter arrived June 30! She weighed 6Lbs. 3.5 oz and is 20inc long...SOOO TINY! She is a very good baby and Paytin loves her!

I'm cute... and I know it! :)

Winter or Summer?

Paytin found her winter hat today and had a ball playing with it! Amazing thing is durring the winter she REALLY HATES hats!

Thats For ME???!!!

Paytin LOVES her birthday present ! We got it on Friday night and Papa Flammang and Daddy spent all day Saturday and some of Sunday putting it together! Paytin has loved it!
