kids

Since having Payton, my other kids have decided that they are big kids now...especially Avery. She is doing things on her own that she didn't used to do before - like picking out her own outfits. So, there are days that we get something like this.


Tyson has chosen his outfits for a long time and he usually does a good job, but there are days we get things like this.
and this:

But one thing Avery has decided that she's not a big girl about is potty training. Apparently wearing a diaper is the new black.
If she could just pick a better place to "take care of business" than the pantry, we would be all set!


My talented friend Courtney* emailed me and asked if she could take a picture of Payton wearing a sweater and bonnet she had. Here are the results. I love them.

*Courtney took our family pictures last year. If you go to her website and go to galleries and then families, you will see a few of them.

I seriously need to see Payton is person. She is beautiful. I love the outfit on there. She looks so precious.
Tyson's outfit on the stairs is priceless. Blake has no desire to pick out his own clothes. I ask him most days if he wants to but he is usually not happy about having to get out of his jammies so I don't push the issue.
good post!

When did Payton grow up? She has already changed in just one week but is only getting cuter which I didn't think was possible. And you know how I adore those other two little kidders. They make me laugh! love you

This is my first time to see your blog since you posted Payton pictures! She is BEAUTIFUL! What a lovely little girl. Wow. I'm totally not surprised.

You're a nice mom to let them pick their clothes. I was never really that nice. lol.

Paige, I have missed your blog. When Rob took his names off his blog I was lost. Now I have found you again. My greatest treat. Now I have a question. How can you be 30, just having had a baby, and have two other children and keep up with this cute blog? You are an amazing person....besides all that you had an adorablly, beautiful baby. Congratulations on such a masterpiece. She is precious. So happy for you. Now, take good care of yourself. You look great for 30! Love you...Aunt Mare

I love that little sweater and bonnet on her. She looks so darling. Good work on the kids dressing themselves, I think that is so cute. As for Avery and the pantry, Gwen was like that too, then it switched to the closet. Good luck with the potty training, but seeing as you have done it before you will have her trained in no time.

Reese would totally agree that wearing diapers is the new black! Stinker girls! And what sweet little pictures of Miss Payton.
