Peyton is 9!

Peyton wanted a pool party theme cake,

this is what her and Emma came up with .

Hard to believe that our little Peyton is 9. Peyton is the kindness kid I know, so loving, will share everything and makes friend with everyone. We love you Peyton so much and are so happy God picked us to be your family.

'
Peyton got to celebrate her birthday in New Mexico, she 2 small parties one at Jen's house and the other with her cousins (on Alicia's side of the family, Jacob and Vickie's kids) this was a nice treat since her in TN we don't have family to do parties with.

Spring 2015 Softball

Peyton played her first year of softball and love it! She was on a great team, had lots fun and made friends. Peyton is looking forward to moving up to girl pitch in the spring of 2016. We are looking forward to the nights out on the field.

this was after many tries.

2015/2016 1st day of school

Hayden wants to be a Spy, a Hunter and a Boxer.

Emma wants to be a Baker and own a cupcake shop with her sister.

 

I'm (Alicia) very excited about this new school year we have lots of learning to do, lots of living to do, lots of love to share.

What Peyton Loves About AGH!

One of the requiments Peyton had to complete to receive her Sacagawa badge was to make a poster about the things she loves about AHG and display the poster in a public place for 2 weeks. She also had her first interview with troop broad, I was told she did great. Peyton is no longer a Tenderheart she is now a Pioneer.

Heart cookies

We took a break from school work to decorate heart cookies. Wal-Mart had these cookie kits on sale for .99 cents right after Valentines Day, don't be grossed out this picture was taken in February well before expiration date.

 

AHG TN0139

Our 2nd year of American Heritage Girls came to a close with awards night, we have enjoyed our 2 years with AHG and look forward to year 3!

On another note its been a while since I did a post, see I'm a slacker. I have a few pictures I would like to get posted, maybe later this week I will get a couple done (don't hold your breath).  Also My aunt Dee asked that I fill out some paper for a family tree (I haven't done it yet, UGH I'm the worst).
