YouTube

I started a YouTube channel so I can post videos easier.  I foyu would liek to hear the video without the music from the blog, just scroll to the bottom and mute the music.  That way you will be able to hear just the video.  Please enjoy this clip from last night.

Birthday Continued...

Peyton's Second birthday was a whirlwind of presents, family and cake.  To start the day off the Lovelace crew arrived.  I had Peyton dressed in the cutest dress and even had her hair in pigtails.  However, she wanted to change outfits as soon as she saw the first gift she opened. It was an adorable striped dress with a horse on it from Grandpa and Grandma.  Two seconds later she was happily wearing her new dress sans pigtails. What can you do?

This year she definitely got the hang of ripping paper and digging into packages.

The first of many cakes for her birthday....a Tinkerbell cake.

I don't have a good picture, but she was sitting at her little kid table along with Grandpa and Grandma.  It was very cute!

After the first round of guests left, Peyton had just enough time for a nap before Nana arrived to start the fun over.

After dinner we went for round two with the Tinkerbell cake.  Peyton and Daddy had a fantastic time making a mess of the cake and each other.

Cleaning each other up.  So cute!

She learned her cake eating technique from her Dad.

The end result was a mess and two happy people.  We had such a fun day celebrating with the everyone.  Peyton loved all of her gifts but she especially loved sharing the day with the all of you!

Stay tuned for all the party pictures...

Birthday Sneak Peak

Lots more to come...

Happy Birthday Peyton

Today our little girl is TWO and we are celebrating!  I wrote the following for the first page of this year's album and it seems only appropriate for it to be part of this post.

Peyton,

As you rounded out your first year we couldn't have imagined the continued joy you would bring to our lives in your second. We have watched your sweet baby face grow into a beautiful little girl who has captured the hearts of so many.  Your nature is loving, your spirit is feisty and your heart is kind. You, our little love bug, have forever changed us and we are eternally grateful.

Happy 2nd Birthday Peyton!  We love you more than you will ever know.

Happy Father's Day

Grandpa, Grumps and Daddy~

Here's wishing the three Dad's closest to our hearts a very Happy Father's Day!  Without you, we wouldn't be who we are today, so thank you.

Below is a collection of photos that I have taken from my phone.  I don't always carry my camera with me. However, a lot of times I find some of my best pictures are taken when I have to whip out my phone for a photo.

Mowing down a cheeseburger....just like Daddy!

First ever pigtails!!!

 My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.  Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass."  "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply.  "We're raising boys."  ~Harmon Killebrew

That one was for you Grumps!

 I kow all three of you are loving her with the football.  The girl has skills!

 Any man can be a father.  It takes someone special to be a dad.  ~Author Unknown

Happy Father's Day!  Love, Mike, Tiffany & Peyton

All Inclusive Update

Summer is just getting started and so is the summer fun.  It is hot as heck outside but that doesn't stop us from getting outside and making the most of a sunny day.  Peyton received an early birthday present from her Great Granny.....a shiny, red tricycle. 

 She was making sure Daddy had the instructions, which of course, he didn't need.  :)

And he really didn't need the instructions because he had a helper.

 She's just a little too short for it yet, so I took her for a spin.

 Next, we were off to Liam's first birthday party!  He turned ONE on Tuesday but we celebrated on Saturday at an awesome baseball party.

 His Mom, Krystal, really outdid herself.  There were hotdogs, soft pretzels, nachos and even chocolate dipped oreos made to look like baseballs (Peyton's favorite).

 It's always a good time with the Hassen's but Saturday was an extra special day and we were so thankful to share the son's first birthday with them.  Next we will be celebrating the birth of their new baby in July.  Can't wait!

Liam got a pick up truck for his birthday and as you can see his first passenger was his girlfriend Peyton.  These two are quite a pair!

Happy Birthday Buddy!  And Happy Hump Day everyone else!
