Grand Haven

Yesterday afternoon Bill decided he was sick of sitting at home so, we decided to head out to Grand Haven for the evening. We quickly got everything packed up and off we went! First we headed to Old Boys' Brew House to grab something to eat. It was a hot night, but we still sat outside and enjoyed the warmth!

 After dinner we headed to downtown Grand Haven to take a walk on the pier. Well, we actually never made it to the pier, but we did go down by the water. Peyton was having so much fun playing in the sand. I think he would have played all night if we would have let him, but we had to head home and bathe the kid who had sand EVERYWHERE! It was a lot of fun just hanging out as a family!

Bedtime

Tonight while I was on my run Bill got Peyton ready for bed............. this is what I came home to!

The pants are size 18 month (he normally wears a 3T). Oh Peyton.........

Weekend at the Races!

Well, last weekend was filled with lots of "boy" activities! We started off the weekend by heading over to Caledonia's Western Week to check out the truck pulls on Friday night. Peyton loves to watch truck/tractor pulls on youtube so, I figured he would be on cloud nine. Let's just say that was quite the experience........ Bill and I decided we did not fit in with that crowd! FYI if you ever attend a truck pull the majority of the people will probably not be wearing flip flops.

On Saturday morning our friend Mike was Mountain Bike Racing in the Michigan State Games so, we headed out their to cheer him on to VICTORY! Peyton had fun watching all the bikers but what he really enjoyed doing was cashing Adalynn around! He ABSOLUTELY ADORES Adalynn.

After a quick nap in the afternoon off we went to the Berlin Raceway in Marne for Bill's work outing. I wasn't sure how Peyton was going to handle the noise but it didn't phase the kid. He thought it was great! He would get soooooo excited when the cars would go by. I think he could have spent all night there just watching the race ohhhhhh and playing in the dirt!

 Watching the races!

Waiting for another race to start!

Lets Ride!

For Christmas Peyton received a balance bike from Bill's sister and brother-in-law. This was definitely one of Peyton's favorite gifts! He totally understood the concept of this bike right away. All winter long this bike did laps around my kitchen table. Well, now that it is FINALLY warm enough we can ride outside! Whenever we are outside all Peyton wants to do is go up and down the sidewalk on his bike. He is getting pretty good at it too!

So, I was in the kitchen and all of the sudden Peyton comes running in yelling "Look at me mom!" I can only imagine what I am going to see..............

Car Wash!

So, now that it is FINALLY getting warm out all Peyton wants to do is play outside. Specifically play outside with the hose. I tell ya this kid LOVES water. So one warm afternoon I put the hose on and let him go to town. The first thing he did was grab his Cozy Coupe and give it a car wash. 

 This is a typical reaction I get when I want a picture of him......

Better Late Than Never! Right?!?!?!

Peyton turned 2 back in March! Awhile ago, I know........ We just had a small party at my parents house with both my family and Bill's. Even cousin 5 day old cousin Chase made an appearance!

 The Mickey cake my mom & I made!



I have NEVER seen a child open presents so fast!
