Peyton is 3

Peyton turned 3 today.  It was Sunday and we are new in the ward, so I bought her a button for her to wear on her shirt that told her new teachers that it was her birthday

She is very quiet and shy.  And she isn't adapting as well to her new nursery class as Kaleigh is.  She got very upset on her birthday in her class and cried for a long time before they found us and I felt so sad that she was crying so hard that she could hardly tell me what happened.

As soon as we got home, we gave her the balloon bouquet.

I cannot believe how fast these past three years have gone.

Everyone came over for cake and ice cream.  All 12 cousins in one location is difficult.

Our backyard is HUGE. There's so much room to play

Here is Raleigh enjoying the misters.  It didn't feel like it was 108 degrees outside

Sweet Ryker

She opened so many presents

And then she played with them

And on a completely unrelated note... here is Raleigh's throne.  I close my eyes when I am in there.  Poor guy... it's the only place I'd let him hang this stuff.

We love our Sis.  We are so happy that we are here with our big family so they can help us celebrate her special day.  She is such a sweet girl and she is growing up way too fast for us.  She happily shared her toys with KK.  And had 3 pieces of cake.  I think with the exception of the "mean Grandma in my nursery class"  she had a very nice Sunday Birthday.
