Miss Peyton...... is turning 2 tomorrow. I can't believe that she is two already, it seems like just yesterday I was about to have a baby when Dave said I think we should put our house up for sale and move to Idaho. It sounded like a great plan since it was taking on average 6+ months to sell a house at the time. It took less than two weeks and before we even had a chance to make it to our six week checkups we were driving the moving truck to Idaho.... So much has happened in the past two years but it has just been a blur. We are still waiting to fill settled and calm but are slowly coming to the realization that maybe, just maybe this is it. This is what our lives will be like forever or at least for a while. We just need to get use to crazy and we will feel settled. Peyton is so fun. She has such a wild personality. We just moved her to her new big girl bed and she thinks she's pretty hot stuff. We have caught her up on Nysa's top bunk a few times and she has come in our room a couple of times but she is doing pretty good. She is starting to really talk a lot. She has a few pretty funny sayings. when I tell her to do something that she doesn't want to do she turns, sulks and says " oooh Maaan!!!" It's so cute. She is pretty sneaky too. Defiantly a girl that takes after my own heart.
Nysa just had a birthday and she's six going on thirty. We decided the other day that she might be the most responsible person in our family. Everyone that knows Dave, knows he was out of the running years ago but Nysa may have finally passed me up. She is all about the rules. We can count on her to come home from school and tell us exactly what she needs to be doing and what we need to be doing too. She had her Christmas Concert last night and as we were getting ready to go (she has had her outfit picked out for the past month), Dave asked her if she was going to find us in the crowd and wave. She got this look on her face that said "are you kidding me?" She said, " No way Dad, Mrs. so and so.. would never let us do that. She is watching us all the time. That is not allowed!" We had so much fun teasing her, saying that we were going to yell and shout for her and wave. She was so mad at us. She takes everything so serious, but is an awesome kid. She did eventually give us a half wave and then looked right back at her teacher while the rest of the kids in the program waved, yelled etc. at their parents. She is a great big sister too, always so helpful with Peyton but I can tell if maybe I have had a long day and used the parent tone more often than not. I will here her in the other room telling her sister something that I had said earlier in exactly the same tone and have to go in and gently remind her that she is her sister and not her mother. She also tries to use that tone with me and the way she is growing she may be taller than me by about the fourth grade, so I better watch out.
