Payton Ken Sparrow

On Monday, September 26, 2011 at 7:13 a.m., Payton Ken Sparrow arrived!! He weighed 8 1bs 1 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. He is such a sweet little boy!! He loves to snuggle and we do take advantage of that! He has Taylee wrapped around his little finger... anytime he cries she goes running and tells him "bubbas it's okay I am here!" Super Cute!! She is LOVING being a big sister. Sometimes it takes patience on my part that she loves to smother the poor boy with kisses and loves...at least he will know she loves him. We are so thankful that he is healthy and everything went smoothly.

We are so blessed to have Payton in our family!! We love you!!

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Taylee's first day of Kindergarten!!

She did so great! No tears and she didn't cling to me when I went to leave....however as for me....I clinged to her and I shed the tears!! How does that work? I end up needing her more than she needs her mom!! She had a great day though. She really enjoyed school. A few highlights of some of her favorite things from today....

• Eating the school lunch
• Playing on the toys at recess
• Seeing the books
• Drawing
• Playing with the kids

The only thing that could have made the day better for her she says is that she could have road the BUS home!! She sure loves the yellow school buses.....(ever since she has been able to understand that her dad drives the school buses, she has been dying to ride them...now she gets her chance).

It's a......

A little bit late in announcing but....

We found out on May 11th that we are having..........a BOY!!!!

We are so excited!

Preschool Graduation

Our little girl has officially graduated from Preschool!! She has learned so much and is was such a great experience for her. She is so excited to go to "big kid school" now....I am not completely sure if I am ready for that though.

CONGRATULATIONS TAYLEE, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Graduation

On Friday we were able to go and celebrate Cody's Graduation from Graduate School at his Hooding Ceremony. He isn't officially graduated yet, he will be done in July, but this ceremony is a great honor for graduate students that they offer for 2010 summer, 2010 Fall, Spring 2011, and Summer 2011 Graduates. We are so very proud of him!! My parents were able to come up and attend and Cody's parents also came with us. It was a great night just celebrating all that Cody has done and accomplished! He has worked so hard and he is continueing to do so as he is preparing for his final written and oral exams. Wish him luck!!!

Thanks Shiloh and Heidi!!

2. In March, we went on a trip to DISNEYLAND!!!! My mom was able to come with us! It was so fun!

3. Taylee turned "5"!!! (At disneyland, what a lucky and spoiled girl she is) I cannot believe that she is already five years old! I just registered her for kindergarten....holy cow! She is turning into the tallest, skinniest, and cutest little five year old EVER!

4. Cody is finishing up his LAST FULL SEMESTER OF GRAD SCHOOL!!!! HOOOOOORAAAAYYY!!! Only 6 weeks of summer school left, his written and oral exam and he will be all finished and be a "MASTER" by July!! :) So proud of him!
