Camping 2012

This weekend was our annual camping trip.  Had a great time despite a rainy Saturday!

Maddie brought her friend Michayla to have someone her own age!

The fun cheeto-shaving cream-shower cap game the Simmons brought!

All the kids!

Baking Class

Peyton and her friend Riley took a baking class on making homemade pop-tarts.  She had a great time and shared her treats with us yesterday!   Great job Pey!

Narrator

Peyton's class performed a play on the last day of school.  She was a narrator along with her friend Riley.  They did a great job!

Peyton's Unbirthday

Today we celebrated Peyton's birthday several weeks early.  Usually by the end of July, everyone is on vacation and can't come...so this year we decided to do it early.  It worked, everyone came and they had a great time.
