Weekly Happenings - 2/20 - 2/26

1. We had a fairly quiet week this week. Peyton's new favorite evening activity is to play golf. She is getting quite good at swinging her club and hitting a bigger soft ball in the basement - before long she will be striking the little white balls quite a distance I'm sure! This year she even wants to wear her golf glove and it fits her great! All of my pictures of her practicing failed miserably - the girl moves so fast! Hopefully I can get a good shot one of these days!

2. Here are a couple of pictures of how Garrison spent his days in January/early February at school. I love the first one where he is holding hands with one of his friends and the last one where he appears to be concentrating very hard on his art! So cute!!





3. Peyton has always wanted to help with Garrison but recently she has started asking to help feed Garrison. During most meals now she feeds him a bite or two and really does a great job. It is best when Garrison is really hungry as he opens his mouth really wide for her!


4. On Saturday Daddy headed to the golf show where he met-up with some friends, Grandpa and some of Grandpa's friends and then had a chance to play his first round of golf of the year! What a beautiful day to be out in February! While Daddy & Grandpa were busy with the show and playing golf, Grammy came up for a fun visit! We started our day at the mall with a little shopping and two trips on the carousel! All the girls got new shoes - Garrison didn't seem to disappointed that he didn't walk away with new shoes. ;) After our shopping adventure we headed to Olive Garden for lunch - always a hit with our family and then home for rest, to bake cookies and of course have play time. Grammy brought up my flower girl dress from when I was in my aunt & uncle's wedding when I was about Peyton's age for Peyton to play with. She LOVED it, especially how it twirled around her when she spun around. She didn't want to take it off at the end of the afternoon! After their round of golf, Daddy & Grandpa came home to catch the end of the MU vs. KU game before we all headed out to dinner at Red Robin. What a fun day!!




5. Sunday we started our day at church, ran some errands and then got to play outside for almost 2 hours in the late afternoon - it was GREAT to spend time with our friends outside again, the weather was perfect! Peyton drove her car, rode her bike and even drug out her tricycle (which she is now WAY too big for!) and Garrison hung-out in the front carrier and just enjoyed the weather (and even snuck-in a nap!). Daddy also built some shelves in the garage to organize us a bit more - a much needed chore. All-in-all, a great day! Here are a couple of pictures from Sunday - check-out the first one where Garrison is starting to get his knees under him - crawling may not be far away!
