Graduate!

She is a graduate!
A Preschool Graduate!


Here she finally found Cam and I in the crowd, tha place was packed.


Proudly displaying the Diploma!


Peyton with her teacher: Ms Renee Roberston


A day of fun for my little girl and I.

First was the Graduation Ceremony.
Then a trip to downtown St. Paul to shop at Macy's and visit Candyland.
Lunch at Chuck E Cheese and she is a NATURAL at Skee Ball. We could have played all day!
Then a visit to Mom's work where she received a standing ovation when she walked in.
Then on to Cannon Falls to dance in the streets. 


A proud little girl
And an even more proud Momma!




 Sunday has become my favorite day of the week.
All Family Day.
We went to Peyton's favorite park in Lake City to feed the ducks.
 Then on to the State park in Frontenac.
 There is a barge in the background, just can't see it. Oh well, we tried.
 Love, Love, Love!
 Princess!
 Muscles!
 Here ~ DJ had a good smile
Here ~ Peyton had her best shot.
Put the two together and imagine it.

I'm the Rhinestone Cowboy?

 Venus and Jupiter!
No, not the house, or the trailer or the yard light. 
Look in the sky!
That is Venus and Jupiter. 
The brighter one to the right is Venus, say Hi!
The less dominant one to the left is Jupiter! Hey Jupiter!
 My husband attended this concert with me. 
Trace Adkins is serenading me in this picture. 
Cam just says "send a check every week"
That means I can go!
 A little hip action
 A nice smile. He was so happy to see me!
Dinosaurs!
Cool!
Peyton was gutsy and touched his tooth!
Notice how she is looking up at him to be sure he isn't going to snap her finger off.  
DJ wasn't about to give that dinosaur his hand. If he is hungry he is going to have to eat another little kid, not DJ, not today anyway. 
Checking out the turtles. 
 Ok, don't move
Be very quiet
Maybe they won't see me
 Ahh, what was that noise?
 He is huge! His mouth opens "this big"
 This guy had smaller teeth and DJ grew some confidence!
Digging for fossils 
Ahh, this guy is more my size, I can hold him in one hand! 
 Walk like a duck? 
This is what I got when I said
"Walk like a duck"
 Hmmmm, where does this path go?
 Ok, one picture of the three together, in case we aren't able to get back out of this place!
 And they are off......
 Look!!
Deer tracks!
 A bridge. 
Tyler can reach it, no problem. 
Peyton, similar to her Dad, can't be shown up. 
She steps over a little bit and she can reach too!
 Tarzan and Jane on the vines.
 Tyler found a stump, to take a break.

Going up the big hill 
 Peyton says "This tree is rusty". 
"Take a picture for Daddy"

 Wait a minute, which way are we going? 
Who is leading this pack? 
 A little help back down the hill from her Tyler.
Oh, now Peyton found the stump to take a break.  
Tree hugger. 
 We were listening to the birds. 
I told them to act like the bird that we could hear singing. 
Isn't that a chicken?  
That looks like a mad chicken 
Run little birdy, the chickens will get you! 
Trail, conquered!

I sent this email to my Dad today:
Peyton colored you a picture last night. Her choice, she picked it out and picked the recipient. 
The funny part. It is 3 girls (Barbie) on the beach in bikini’s. 
Funnier yet. She put in the in the envelope, sealed it, put her hands up in accomplishment and said “Grandpa Doc is going to open this up and say, What the Hell!”

This kid, I tell ya.  

Today:
I dropped both kids off at Bullets for daycare. 
Peyton in a black cowgirl hat walking nicely
DJ in a pink sparkly cowgirl hat pretending to ride a horse up the sidewalk.
DJ gets in the house, waves his hat in the air and says "Yee Haw, Ride em Cowboy"
Is he the Rhinestone Cowboy?
That is Cams wonder thought of the day.
