Here's what we've been up to lately.
Payton started preschool in January.
He goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays
and absolutely loves it.
When he's at home he LOVES to play outside
with Sawyer and his friends.
He's still awful at going to bed.
Actually, right now he's crying in his room because I
put my foot down and shut him in his room :)
He'll give in and go to sleep, right?!
Although he's completely potty trained
(with the exception of night time)
he's still learning where it is and is not appropriate to pee
(see below).
Sawyer is quickly reaching his toddler years andhas learned that he has a will of his own.
Here he is (below) watching Sesame Street, or what he
calls "Bi Bi" for Big Bird.
It's definitely his favorite right now.
Payton hasn't napped since last week so as you canimagine he's pretty tired by dinner.
Sawyer LOVES blueberries and spaghetti.
Jonathan's New Jeep
It's a stick so I'm trying to conquer the beast before Jonathan returns. I'm doing pretty well and can actually drive around the block without any difficulty. I haven't attempted traffic yet :)
Sawyer Playing Outside
Payton Playing Outside
Sawyer LOVES Popsicles!
Payton LOVES Popsicles TOO!
Sawyer loves to get the bumbo seat out of the closetso he can sit on the floor and eat his snacks :)
So, I'm happy to say Payton has stopped crying for the current moment. Let's pray that he's actually going to sleep now. I need to break this getting out of bed habit before he's FIVE and still coming downstairs for a "a drink of water" every 10 minutes! It's SO SO annoying! We only have about 1 MONTH left before Jonathan returns and it seems to be one of the most challenging for both of us. It's important that they stay focused on what they're doing in Afghanistan and for me to keep from just throwing in the towel and saying, "I quit." Sometimes I wish I could go on a vacation from motherhood for the next month but then I am reminded of how much I love my children...Just not single parenting :( Enjoy the update and keep in touch. We miss you all.

Nice update...thanks for sharing. :) You found a good looking jeep! Hope he likes it!Love & miss you all so much, mom
I LOVE Paytons hair. Is that weird? Anyways, we are so excited for you that Jonathan is almost finished and will be coming home to you and the boys. The Jeep looks great and how exciting that you got a soft top so you can take the roof off; it's SOOO fun! And I hope April, that you keep that picture of Payton peeing outside...All those future girlfriends I'm sure will love to see that :)
Take Care!!!
