Happy 7th Peyton

Peyton turned 7 on Aug. 9th. We had a great time this year for his birthday. The night before his b-day was Friday and he had some friends over for a "late-night" party. They watched a movie in our backyard (Ben10: Race Against Time). We borrowed our neighbor's popcorn cart and had popcorn, movie candy and snowcones for the kids. You would have thought they were in heaven!!! For a small thank-you I got the boys Spiderman watches at the dollar store and they were a huge hit! This is probably the most low-key party we have ever done with the best results! We heard from a few parents that their boys came home saying "that party was awesome!". Score one for Mom!

This is the boys at the party....

I wanted to share 7 things about Peyton:

1-He is very sweet and caring. He still will give us the biggest and best hugs and isn't afraid to kiss us on the lips. He and I "touch noses" each night before bed. It's something that started when he was just little and he still loves it!

2-He is a rough and tumble boy. He loves to wrestle and fight. He loves to play with light sabers, guns, and swords.

3-He is a great reader! Honestly he really had no problems learning to read. It came very naturally to him and he is just really good at it.

4-He is a great artist! Peyton loves to draw on clean, white, never-been-written-on paper. He draws very intricately and is quite a perfectionist when it comes to art work.

5-He is developing a testimony of Jesus Christ. He is really understanding what is going on at church and knows right from wrong. He is a great friend and doesn't want to hurt others' feelings.

6-He loves Connor! Peyton is a great big brother and would probably rather play with Connor than anyone else. He is quick to include Connor in anything that we have going on, and is very sensitive towards his "big brother" role.

7-He is our Peytino, the great bambino, the monsterino, the one that we know, the cappachino and all those thingo's. We love him so much!!!

Happy Birthday Peyton!!!
