My cute kids

About 1 month ago, my brother Danny's friend (hopefully girlfriend)- Sarah came and took these pictures of my kids. Her mom is a professional photographer and Sarah has been working with her mom a lot. She does a great job and I get so many compliments on the other pictures she has taken that are displayed throughout my house. I love these pictures. They were taken at the park in Gunnison. I love how she turns my pictures into collages. My kids are all growing up so fast-----It is fun to have pictures like this done. Payton just graduated from his second and last year of preschool. He is so excited to move on to kindergarten, but will miss his teacher. I am a little emotional about the thought of him going off to school. It seems like just yesterday that I had him. He is a very smart boy and is so loving and sweet. He also amazes me with his patience and determination. When he decides he wants to do something he puts his mind to it and does it. Last year he wanted to learn how to ride his bike without training wheels. He spent hours that day practicing how to balance..then off he went. He has been that same way with learning to tie his shoes, puzzles and anything else he wants to accomplish. I am sure that he will do wonderful in kindergarten. Rilee is still our wild child, but also has a way of melting my heart. Her sweet little smile just makes me happy. Even in the middle of her tantrums she is still adorable. She will be starting preschool and thinks that she is soooo big. Her response for everything is, "cause I am so big, huh!!" Don't try to tell her that she is little or too small to do something or her emotions start flying. She is very smart. She learns very well. Her challenge is going to be sitting still long enough to do things...especially cause her best friend is in preschool with her. They are like twins.....adorable and out of control!! Talan is already 7 months old. How time flies. He is sitting up, eating baby food, and is full of the most adorable smiles and laughs. He is pretty cuddly and over all just a very chill baby. I will have to say that these last 2 nights have been hard because he has been very fussy. I think that he is teething, but have yet to see a tooth pop through. He is my sweet little guy. I think that god gave me him as a reassurance that not all of my kids will wear me out like Rilee does. He has big brown eyes that melt my heart--he is a big boy and I love him so much. Cody and I are going to go on Martin's cove with the youth, and I am carrying Talan. I did not want to stop breastfeeding to go, yet they needed another couple to go to be a ma and pa. After thinking about it I realized that even if I was not still feeding him I could not leave him yet. He is so sweet and innocent and I lvoe feeling like he is dependant on me. It makes me feel important. Well that is a little update on my kids. Cody just said we are going to go for a ride and cook a hot dog so, I will have to do more posts later. Happy Memorial Day!!!!!
