Mexican Dress

Brought this dress back from our Mexico trip this week. Peyton looked adorable as usual!

Birthday Party Part II

Here are pictures from Peyton's actual birthday. Did I mention she made out like a bandit?

Happy Birthday to Me

That's right. I turned 4 last month! Even got presents on 2 separate days, the 16th was the party and the 23rd was the real day. We had my party at the Windsor House of Tea in Astoria, complete with tea, scones, and dress up clothes. It was lots of fun, and I made out like a bandit, of course!

Fun with Color

I always forget how much you can do with photoshop, I have used it for years, but not for anything interesting, I really would like to learn more. I played with the program tonight and came up with this photo that I made black and white except for Peyton's clothing. Kinda cool!

Cold Day at the Beach

The 3 of us decided to go to the beach at Seaside since for once it wasn't raining. It was nice but very cold. We are going to have to start calling Peyton the treasure hunter because she finds every possible piece of shell and has to keep them all.

Japanese Princess

Peyton is stylin' in her kimono that Jeremy & Kerri sent from Japan. She loves being a princess, and you can't get much more regal looking than that can you? She definitely loves it, thanks guys.

Playin' Ball

So Focused!

So focused watching the tube, she barely had time to give Dad a smile.

Peyton's 1st Dance Class

Peyton's First Pics, originally uploaded by bigdsims.

Peyton started her dance class on Thursday Sept. 7th. She had so much fun. Rachelle said she was the teachers' pet, always by her side starting at the teacher in awe. When it was time to leave Peyton didn't want to leave, Rachelle had to tell her that they were coming back next week so that she didn't start crying.

Gearhart Park

Peyton and I spent the day together and decided to go to the Gearhart Elementary School Playground. She has informed me, "Gearhart Park is my favorite park!" I asked if she liked it more than the Astoria Park, and she gave me a resounding, "oh yes!"

Astoria Regatta Parade

Saturday we went to the Astoria Regatta Parade. She had fun, but it was too long, and there were to much advertising. Log trucks are not parade floats.

iPod Movies

She really loves my new iPod. I loaded it up with about 10-15 of her favorite movies. Works great for trips.

Her Favorite Park

The Astoria Park is quite nice, and it is by far her favorite.

Pink Tutu

Peyton in her designer tutu hand made by Rachelle. She is definately the littlest ballerina with the biggest tutu. Did I mention she likes pink.

Peyton Plays Pac-Man

Downloaded Pac-Man for my Xbox 360, and discovered Peyton loves it. "Daddy, I want to play the yellow game!"

Peyton's First Bike

Peyton's first bike, "Little Dreamer" complete with matching pink accessories. Teaching a 3 year old to ride a bike is much more difficult than I thought. But I hear practice makes perfect.

Fort Stevens

Gary, Sylvia, Nicole, Logan, & Trinity came down and stayed at Fort Stevens State Park. We went to see then and made balloon animals.
