Busy life

We thought life was going to slow down a bit after a busy fall season, but no no, it seems to have become busier! Or maybe I'm just more tired?? Brian is coaching wrestling for the first time and his schedule is crazy. Away at matches every wednesday night, and all day on saturdays. Not to mention practices every day, even during vacations. He's enjoying it, but I'm not sure how we'll do this next year with two kids! Thank God we live near family who are willing to watch Payton, not sure what we'd do if we didn't!

Speaking of Payton...what.a.trip. She is one of the funniest kids I know. We have no idea where she comes up with half the things that come out of her mouth. We're also realizing what phrases and words we tend to use often. For example, as she was trying to get her camera to work this morning she kept pushing the buttons and yelling "oh, come on!". she's been saying that one for a while but it never gets old. The other day she asked me what something was and when I answered her response was "ohhh, gotcha". If we laugh at something she says she says "what are you laughing at??". I need to really really really start writing the things she says down more often, I could write a book! She had a great Christmas, and a great 2nd birthday. But in between the two she was pretty sick and we spend the whole second week of vacation on the couch, poor bug. She's FINALLY starting to get back to herself, and she has this energy that I'm not sure either of us can keep up with! We're having so much fun listening to her talk to her dolls, play with her kitchen, draw pictures, etc. Just watching her grow I guess :) I have to say, I get a little frustrated when she's being stubborn but on the other hand, she seems like an independent woman in the making, and that makes me happy!
