Little crazy man (in PRIMARY!!!)

Ahhh Payton.  There is NO one else in the entire world like my baby.  Right now, it is 8:19 p.m.- and the boys have been in bed for like an hour now, because they woke up at 6:00 a.m. this morning- but Payton is now in the bathroom, just hangin out- with no clothes on.  He is all about just staying up until he can't stay up anymore.  And there is absolutely NOTHING that either Cole or I can do to get him to lay down and go to bed. (or put clothes on for that matter!  Refer to previous posts for proof of this statement) What a guy.  Anyways- this kid is my BEST bud.  He is seriously the cutest kid ever!  He is one heck of a handful, but he is such a sweetheart, and has a very soft side to him. He's big into weapons, and fighting, and superhero's and everything like that, but he loves to snuggle for a few blissful minutes a day, and loves to give kisses and hugs (especially when they keep him from going to sleep just THAT much longer!) He is quite the whiner, and will let you know when someone takes a toy from him that he was playing with- but he is pretty quick to share his own toys when the situation arises.  He absolutely LOVES to help me in the kitchen, and is always at my feet seeing if I need some sort of help with whatever I am doing.  He LOVES to eat- which is probably why he is always in the kitchen with me. I dont' know if I have put this in here before or not, but probably about 2-5 times a day, I will venture into the kitchen (or hear a huge crash) to find Payton in the fridge, or on top of the counter, or in the sink, or whatever- just fixin himself a little snack.  He's been found on top of the counter with a brick of cheese and my sharpest knife in the kitchen just slicin away!  He'll have an entirely full gallon of milk out trying to pour himself a little glass, or various other things.  So silly. 
    But the reason for this little post is that this big boy has started PRIMARY!  WHAT!!  I seriously can't believe it!  All I can say is BLESS his primary teacher! (who also happens to be a sister that I visit teach.  She will be receiving cookies quite often from me-that's for sure!)  He loves it so far.  He is so eager to learn, and loves to hear all the different scripture stories- especially if they involve fighting!  If we are studying the Book of Mormon-there's a pretty good chance of a good fight story, so Payton thinks that's pretty sweet!  So- here's to Primary, and learning lots of new things- and HOPEFULLY getting ready to go to school in the fall!  I love my Payton!

Always with the weapons!  Whatever he has- it's a weapon- even if it's just his finger.:)



These boots were made for WALKIN!


I'm a shrimp...I'm a shrimp! (I really don't know what this is...but they do it all the time!)


He was thinking I was SO hilarious!


We were supposed to be doing silly faces, but he was laughing too hard.  I'm so funny.

Daddy wanted in on the action
We didn't get a picture of Payton in his church clothes because we have 9 o'clock church, and we all know THAT ain't happenin!  Cole isn't home because he has meetings, and I have to get all three kids and myself ready for church and to church on TIME- so I let the picture thing slide.  :)

My little guy is the same in so many ways. The only motivator we've found for potty training is staying up later! My boy can be in his bed FOR-EVER before falling asleep. Sending cookies to the Sunbeam teacher is a good idea. I might be sending them to the whole primary staff!
Love the funny faces pics!

Payton is so cute! And I can't believe he is already in primary! So grown up.
