Someone Loves To Sing!

SOONER FOOTBALL

Peyton has been to every home football game this season and made te journey for OU-TX as well. For most of the season she has gone for 1/2 of the game. However, Peyton made it through the entire OU-A&M game (which included a nap in mommy's arm for an hour). After the game, she played football with her good pal Lorelai Walton at the tailgate.

Peyton knows all the cheers for the games and can be heard doing them almost anywhere including the grocery store. Her favorite things about the games are watching the OU drum major bend over backwards as he marches down the field pregame, the fireworks when OU scores and of course watching The Sooner Schooner ride across the field. She has charmed all the people sitting around us and got to meet Mr. Charlie Sarratt this past week. She looks forward to talking with the Chick Fil A cows at fan fest each week and loves to go around saying, "East More Chicken!"

These days Peyton loves puzzles, singing, counting, reading, watching Dora, Ruby & Max, and Little Bill. All of her teachers have sent us cards or emails telling us how smart Peyton is, praises her for being song leader, she is the only child that knows the words to the song, OKLAHOMA and her Math and Music Connection teacher told us how impressed she was with Peyton despite being the youngest in the program!

Peyton has been learning to pray for awhile now. Every night she prays what she is thankful for and she never ceases to amaze me. Earlier this week I decided to introduce her to the Lord's Prayer. Ever since then she wants to say it with us every night. Something tells me she will have it down-pat in the next few weeks.

Cutest Fairy Princess of 2011

After much thought and changing of her mind, Peyton decided to be a fairy princess for Halloween.  Of course it had to be pink since that is her favorite color.  She had a party at school where the Mad Scientist entertained, got to pass out candy at Nana and Papa's house (which she LOVED) and then went trick or treating with her friends Adi and Ella Camp.

The other highlight of this halloween was carving a pumpkin as a family.  Mommy carved the eyes and nose, Peyton drew the mouth and daddy finished us off by carving out the mouth Peyton had made.  It was a great time and Peyton loved lighting the candle in the pumpkin!

3RD BIRTHDAY

Peyton



Peyton had an amazing 3rd birthday. Grammy and Grandaddy came in and spent the night, we went to OU Homecoming and we couldn't have asked for better weather or company the day of her birthday party at TG Farms. Hay mazes, slides, horse swings, animals to pet, a hay ride and we even got to pick our very own pumpkins from the patch. Thank you to all the friends & family that celebrated with us!
