Today Payton turned 3...hard to believe that she is officially a preschool aged child and not a baby anymore. Words can't express how we all feel about her. Everyone that knows her is blessed...she is just special. She is unique, exuberant and just a joy to be around. She keeps us all on our toes. Here are a few examples:
1. We went to build a bear for her birthday. She didn't want a bear...she wanted a longhorn, and she wanted to dress her in a batman costume...unfortunately longhorns can't wear batman's hood so she settled for a cheerleading costume and named her "Orange."
2. She got a mermaid barbie for her birthday...and a batman barbie...and loves them both equally.
3. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner...she's three...she wanted steak, mashed potatoes and green beans...can we say daddy's girl?
4. She got to pick out cupcakes for school...she wanted cupcakes with spiders.
5. She said this on the way to school today" Mommy....do you know camel guy?" (she meant to say the goatman, an old Mexican legend) "Camel guy sucks out your blood and eats you like steak."
6. She also sings God Bless America almost daily...mostly in lieu of a traditional dinner time prayer...she learned this at school..
7. She retells the story of Moses.... except in her version, Moses is a girl who was chased away by bad guys and rescued by a princess.
So hopefully this helps you all understand our love for this precious little miracle...we are blessed to have her. Enjoy the photos!!!

I thought the longhorn was "brown"... is it"orange"? both are equally fabulous names. She is a trip .glad we got to share her day with her!
Happy Birthday to Payton! She looks like she had a great time. Max turns four on Sunday, I can't believe it! Kathleen
Huh. I tried to comment yesterday and this page wouldn't come up. I love the Payton stories, esp. Moses. Interesting that beside being a girl, Mo' is rescued by a princess, not a prince. I'd love to hear her sing God Bless... Reminds me of the grandma's (or aunt's?) prayer on Christmas Vacation. That would be great to record her some night (and then put the video on here, like Lori has done.) In your spare time.
She absolutely cracks me up! Can't wait to see her at Christmas!
