Birthday Party #1

This weekend we went to Monroe La. so that Peyton could celebrate birthday party #1 with Arnold’s side of the family. Now I say birthday party #1 because birthday party #2 is coming this weekend in SC, with my side of the family. But we had a great time at #1…all the family, friends, and a great cookout. Arnold grilled burgers and hotdogs and of course we had birthday cake and icecream. And it was absolutely perfect weather too. The sun was peaking out and the temperature was pleasant. Peyton got some cool toys that she has enjoyed playing with. Now last night one of my friends brought her a little vacuum cleaner/lawn mower looking thing that you push around the room and it pops. That thing is so loud! But of course it’s Peyton’s favorite toy! And speaking of last night, we kept my friend’s little five month old boy, Gabriel, so that her and her husband could go on a date. Peyton and Gabriel were so funny together. Peyton would cry perhaps because she didn’t know what he was doing in her house (or perhaps because she was a little jealous that I was holding him?) well then Gabriel would start crying because she was. Then Peyton would start crying louder because he was crying. Then he would start up again. This went on for quite a while. I’m not sure those two ever got used to each other. Now the crazy thing is that Peyton is around crying babies ALL day long, but I think she wasn’t used to having a crying baby in her house. Babies are so funny.

Pictures will come later.
