Cooling off in the backyard

As soon as I got home today I changed clothes and took Layton for a run/walk in the jogging stroller.  It was only 95 degrees outside so needless to say I was hot and tired when we got finished.  I decided to get Layton's water table out so he could play and cool off and I could just sit and watch him in the backyard.  He had so much fun playing in the water and I didn't put a swim diaper or swimsuit on him because I thought he wouldn't get that wet.  Well he was soaked and had a blast!  Here are a few pictures from our fun in the backyard tonight.

 He decided to drink the water like Roscoe and Daisy even though mommy told him not to

 Fun with the water hose

 And here is Roscoe and Daisy since they never get any love on the blog.  I think they appreciated the company tonight because we were outside hanging out with them too.  They are so good with Layton he likes to ride them like a horse and they just let him.

 This is Daisy's favorite spot in the shade on the cool concrete

When I walked in the house after work today Layton walked up to me and said "Mommy how was your day?"  I thought it was cute because I always ask him that in the evenings so he beat me to it tonight.  He also told us tonight that he wants a birthday party like Kyleigh had this weekend so he can open his birthday presents.  He is really catching on that his birthday is coming up.

A brand new nephew

Friday afternoon Leslie (Clifton's sister) and John Paul ended up having their little boy Morgan John Padgett.  He came a week earlier than expected but is healthy and everyone is doing great.  He weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. and is 22" long.  We went by their house this afternoon right after they got home from the hospital to meet our new nephew.  We dropped Layton off at Grandpa and Granny Leigh's house so Layton will have to meet his new cousin soon.  I know Mason is going to be a great big brother!  Here are two pictures I took today of us holding this sweet little boy.  He seems so tiny but he is perfect.  The one at the bottom was him right after he was born.

Kyleigh's Birthday Weekend

We headed to College Station Thursday night and spent a long weekend with Daniel, Lauren and the kids to help celebrate Kyleigh's first birthday.  We had so much fun even though it was a little loud and hectic at times with all the kids together.  I had fun helping Lauren with the party and it turned out so cute.  The cake was the cutest cake I had ever seen at a birthday party.  Layton had so much fun playing with Cooper and Kyleigh all weekend.  I took so many pictures this weekend so it was hard to pick just a few so here are lots and lots of pictures of fun memories made this weekend.

Bath time with the cousins:

Pictures of Layton in Easter Clothes

Here are some pictures of Layton I took in his Easter clothes one Sunday before church since we didn't actually get to go to church on Easter Sunday.  He looked so cute in his tie.  He kept saying "I'm handsome like daddy" that morning.  I guess he has heard me tell him that just a few times.

Family Weekend

This past weekend all my family was in town.  It was so much fun to hang out with everyone since it had been Christmas since we had all been together.  Layton had so much fun playing with his cousins Cooper and Kyleigh and loved all the attention from his aunts and uncles.  We all went to Garrett Ruple's wedding Saturday night and it was a beautiful wedding.  Here are a few pictures from our fun busy weekend with everyone.
