Splish Splash I was Takin' a Bath...

...all of on a Saturday night!!

After the tailgate party tonight, I came home alone to get both girls ready for bed and decided to cut bath time duty in half since Kevin had to stay and help clean up. Normally the girls bathe separately but it was already way past Alexa's bedtime, and I just didn't have the energy to do it twice. So they got to have tubby time together. Thanks to the bumbo for keeping Payton safe while we scrubbed and rinsed.

I'm sure there will be many more shared splishes and splashes to be had in the days to come!

A-R-I-Z-O-N-A...gooooooo Wildcats!!

We had the 1st Annual Louisville 1st Ward Tailgate Party tonight. It was Kevin's idea and he was soooo excited. He has missed being able to see all of the Arizona games on TV, as being out east, they're not always televised. And he's definitely looking forward to moving back home to be able to tailgate in style. But we did our best for our ward party and totally thought we were going to win the award for most team spirit! Boy we were wrong!!! The V. family went out and practically bought out the UofL store...so we had to take 2nd place. But we had a great time and it was a fabulous ward activity. We're sad that we won't be around for the 2nd Annual!

Newfound Freedom....

...AND entertainment! Goodbye swing...hello exersaucer!! The swing is seriously a thing of the past...Payton has no interest in it anymore. She wants to be up, seeing what's going on in this crazy world around her!

First Piggy!!

Yay!!! We can do Payton's hair in pig tails now!! Actually, we probably could have done piggies on her right when she was born...but I wanted to spare her tender newborn head the pain!! Anyways, isn't she just the most adorable thing you've ever seen???? :-)

Aren't they BOTH the most adorable things you've ever seen???!!! I love my girls so much. And thankfully Alexa thinks her baby sister is pretty cool so we don't have to give her back!

Another First!!

We attempted to start Payton on solid foods..."attempted" being the key word. She didn't like the rice cereal at all. We tried it a couple of times and just no interest...and so we decided to hold off and try again after we get back from our trip to Arizona next month. I really didn't feel like taking a bunch of baby food with me...yeah, I'm lazy, what's it to ya???!!!

Look who's SITTING!!

Okay, so it's not a full-on, straight up sit - it's more like a three-point stance :-) ...but

Payton is getting there!!
