Dancin Fools

Madelyn has become a dancing machine. Payton is now starting to dance too. Every night while we fix dinner the girls want to come in the kitchen and dance. I never took any pictures of them but it was so cute last night I just had to take some!!

I love this one!!! She is really getting into it!!

Payton doesn't move as much as Madelyn.

Another good action shot!!

She just swings her arms and rocks back and forth.


Sisterly love!! I love how Payton is trying to push Madelyn away!!

Payton's cheese face!!

Madelyn's cheese face!!

This one is too funny!! This is Madelyn shaking her booty!! She does it all the time!! Its too cute!!!

Silly Girls

Ever since we got our couches, Madelyn loves to run and jump on them. Payton gets really jealous because she cant. Well here recently we have been putting her up there when we sit on it so she can run around and play with Madelyn. Well now she can get up there all by herself!! I just leave her now and she runs and jumps and does everything that Madelyn does. Its too cute!! She had her first fall today and it was a front flip onto her head!! She stood up looked at me and laughed then ran from the couch!! So I guess she is done with it for now or until she forgets what it feels like to fall off!!

Just sitting watching Dora!!


This one is so cute and I hate that it blurry!

Payton has so much fun up there!!

She looking at me oh no I got caught!!

Christmas

The girls had a really good Christmas!! Madelyn went to sleep all by herself in her bed! Guess we should Santa all the time for her to do this!! She was so excited! Payton had no clue what was going on!! After the girls were all asleep Eric and I got the kitchen set out and started putting it together!! It was a good thing because that thing came in 1000 pieces and took us 2 hrs to put together! Glad they love it!!

Presents all wrapped. You cant see it but we had a stool with the cookies and chocolate milk for Santa.

We had to get Rusty with the tree!

Can you see what is sitting on the stool now?? If not then Eric wanted to be funny and put 2 cans of Miller Lite on it!! Leave to him to do that!!

Here is Payton Playing with the kitchen!! I told Eric we should have hid it because thats all they wanted to play with!! They forgot about all the other presents!!

Payton isn't so good at opening presents yet!

Madelyn got some sidewalk chalk!She loved and it wanted to go play with it right away!!

Payton got some shoes!

Here is Madelyn's shoes!! Look a that face!!

Dora cell phone! Madelyn loves Dora and Micky Mouse right now! We have to watch it everyday!

The could care less about the clothes. I didn't ever bother wrapping the boxes!!

What do you know match fleeces!! Who would have thought!!

Here is the first mess!

They love the kitchen!! We get about 500 meals a day!! Its so cute though!!

Well Eric told Madelyn, " It looks like McDonald's exploded in our house!!" It is all the fake food that came in a 90 piece set!!

Payton playing with the kitchen!! She had to do it when Madelyn wasn't around because Madelyn hasn't learned to share yet!! I'm proud to say that Madelyn now allows Payton to play with the kitchen with her!! We are getting better with the sharing!!

Here is our Christmas dinner that Eric fixed us!! It is Prime Rib (Thank you Meijer for having it on sale), Baked Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, and Spinach Dip with Italian Bread!! I was very very yummy!!

Look at that!! It was amazing!! I know everyone is very jealous!!

We had such a great Christmas this year!! Now Its time to start thinking about Madelyn's birthday!!

Santa is Almost Here

The girls got to take their first bubble bath this year!! I've been kinda nervous to give them one since the doctors told me they are good for little girls!! Well its Christmas and Madelyn got some bubble bath and what the heck!! I cant tell her no for Christmas. Now they are hooked and Madelyn says she wants to use it all the time!! Guess we will til we have a problem!!

They had so much fun!!

Not very many bubbles but they liked it!! Maybe next time we will try more!!

After bath time we put on Christmas PJs and got some really cute pictures with the Christmas bows in!!

Another cute one!!

Finally they are both looking!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!

And The Baking Begins

Madelyn and I baked some cut out sugar cookies this year!! This was our first attempt!! She had such a good time!! We made a huge mess and she loved every min of it!! I cant wait to do this with her every year!! Next yeah Payton can join in on the fun too!!

Here she is sneaking some dough!! I think she ate more then we made!!

Love this face!

Payton has became a little cheeser lately!! She loves to have her picture taken!!

She was too young to help this year so she had to sit in the high chair and eat some cereal!! There is no was she could sit there and watch us eat the cookie dough and not have anything to eat!! She loves her food!!

She would not get her hand out of the dough!!

See how messy we got!! She had a good time and that's all that mattered!! We made some pretty good cookies too!! That is always a plus!!

Bad Girl

**Payton has been bad lately so we are trying a new type of punishment!! We figured she was too young to sit in time-out so we are going to start locking her in Rusty's cage!! Please enjoy!!**

This was after time-out was over!!

She seems pretty happy before going to time out!



** This is only a joke! I repeat this is only a joke!! please don't call CPS on us!! Payton loves to play in Rusty's cage these days. She has figured out to unlock it and everything to get in there to play!!

Ready for Snow

I ordered the girls a snowsuit for the winter!! I figured since we moved to OH there would be more snow!! Madelyn needed a new winter coat and I found one with bibs with it. Sears had them all on sale!! Hopefully they will get to use them this year!!!

Ready for the snow!!

Payton's pants are a little big!!

She couldnt get up and it was the funniest thing ever!!

Dear Winter,
Please bring us lots of snow this year!! If you do we promise to go out and play in it!!
Love,
Madelyn and Payton Hoehn

Payton 1st Birthday!!

Saturday we had Payton's birthday party at our apartment!! All of my family came!! I cant believe that she is already a year old. It seems like yesterday was when the hardest day of our life happened. We went to the hospital thinking this was going to go just as easy as Madelyn and came out dealing with something that no one should ever have to go trough!! Thank goodness everything is going so good!!! Payton is so funny! Her and Madelyn fight over toys. Payton yells at her and the dog all the time!! She is running around like crazy!! She has been walking since about 10 1/2 months!! She tries to talk all the time!! Guess she cant let Madelyn be the only one!! She is growing and everything is doing great!! no worries now!!!


Here is the birthday girl!! I thought this dress would fit her but its a little big!! OH well its still cute!!

Look how blue her eyes look too!! How did I end up to 2 blue eyed girls?? Crazy!!

Some of the family!!

We are trying to get Madelyn to drink out of a big cup now instead of a sippy cup!! I would have to say its going pretty well except the chocolate milk in the morning and night. She has to use a sippy cup!!

Madelyn and Grammy!!

Aren't we are cute!!

Payton's set up!!

All her presents!

There is goes digging in her cake. She didn't really know what to think!

She starting to get the hang of it!

I finally just put her face in it! She was taking to long!

She was a mess after wards!! Thank Papaw Mike for cleaning her up!!

So Brad had to job of taking pictures while I was helping Payton. I told him to butt pictures or boob ones. Well I started going though my camera and this one and the next few are his photography! He is crazy!!
Face shot!!
And yes we got a butt shot!! I believe he took a pic of his own butt!! THANKS Brad!!

Here is the first present!! Madelyn was a little jealous and I felt bad for her so I let her help!!

She would get mad when I would take her present away to get another one!!

Again another one of Brad's pictures!!

She wasn't very good at opening the presents. So I helped!!

There's Madelyn being sooooo good!!

Gram bought Payton bows. She hates bows but Gram has to keep buying them!!! Payton is not going to be a girly girl at all!!

Waiting for her next one!!

Love this hat!!

This toy is so loud and Eric hates it!! He wants to thank Mom and Brian for buying it!! He doesn't know I picked it out!!HEHE!!!

Papaw Mike and his girls!!

We had such a good time!! Cant wait to see everyone again at Christmas!! Love you all!! Also Madelyn wa soo good while everyone was here!! I was so proud of her. Her reward was getting to stay up as late as she wanted!! She made it till 11:30 and got up before 8AM.
