Payne's Baptism

Our sweet Charlie Payne was baptized April 10th, 2011 at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. We celebrated with family and friends afterwards with a brunch at Mac's. His sponsors are his Aunt Jenny, and Uncle Dave. We were so excited that Dave and Katie came all the way up from Houston for the occasion. It was truly a special day!

Spring Fun

A March day in the country at Gigi & Pa-pa's

We walked across the street to Kay & Weldon's and got to collect chicken eggs...Reid was so proud of his chicken eggs!
One of Grant's favorite things to do....help Gigi fill up the bird bath, and the bird feeders

warmer weather called for a popsicle break

Happy 4th Birthday Sweet Cubs

We celebrated the boys 4th birthday at home this year with a "small" family party...Robot themed! I think it was a success....

Crazy cousins

Birthday wishes...

The boys with their new golf game from Blakey

The robot cake pops I fought with (and will never make again!) I ended up making just enough for each child, and not 1 more...thank goodness for a small family party this year!

Reid loves presents!

Still best bubba's even after the golf accident...the band-aid makes for nice birthday pictures

Reid was in love with his new baseball bat he bought with his birthday money from Grandma & Grandpa Charlie

Charlie Payne's Sip & See

Jenny, Linds and Mom hosted a perfect celebration for Charlie P at the end of January. They covered every last detail and really outdid themselves, from the gorgeous flowers, to the delicious food and cupcakes, and all the sweet decorations....well just take a look for yourself.

Payne was so sweet and charming greeting all his guests in his bassinett.

"I'm done being charming momma"

I just love this boyI love you Gwammy

Thank you to my best girls!!

Happy Valentine's Day 2011

My sweet Valentine Cubs

we had so much fun making Valentine crafts this year...we had a play date with Grammy and Blakey to make these fun Valentine boxes.

Mommy's Valentine craft

Reid loved making his very own heart shaped Valentines and was so proud to hand them out. The lucky recipients this year were Grammy, Aunt Laurie and Uncle Tony.

What says Happy Valentine's Day like fruit loops and strawberries for breakfast??

Snow Days February 2011

This is how we spent our 5 snow days....

Payne-e-poo was content spending his first snow right here in mommy's arms

Zappa was trying to get as close to Payne as possible, and finally settled for a nice warm spot curled up at my feet.
