Growing Paynes: June 2015
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Saturday, June 27, 2015. We finally figured out a day that Jason could come with us to the zoo. So we borrowed a double stroller and were off! The two older boys were up and dressed at 6:30am and we didn't have to leave until 8ish, they were just so excited! The boys liked that the warthogs were diggers just like the boys. Matthew was roaring like a lion. Then Tanner started roaring, too! We just have some wild guys! We got one to feed. And M...

Growing Paynes: May 2015
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Okay, this party got way bigger than I had planned on. Normally we invite over one or two friends or one family for dinner and cake. Well, we ended up with 18 extra people in the house. Carter wanted a minion themed birthday because he likes to play the computer game where they run and try to collect bananas and accomplish different objectives. The cake. He wanted the crazy, purple minion. He thinks they are funny. Near ...

Growing Paynes: December 2014
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Thursday, December 25, 2014. I like Christmas to be low key. Especially when I am in charge of it. So Christmas Eve was a day of folding laundry, picking up downstairs, dishes, haircuts, and baths. Then we made cookies for Santa. Wrote Thank you letters to Santa. But he got into opening presents really fast. He was playing but refused to put down lion. Andrew even got into presents.with a little help from mom. In the paper sea. The boys were ...

Growing Paynes: First Day of School!
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2015/08/first-day-of-school.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. First Day of School! My baby. My first born. My Carter-kid. That round-headed kid. Where did that baby go? Not too long after Carter was born, Jason and I were talking. Jason asked, "Where do you see us in 5 years? Well, Carter will be starting school." "Stop! He is a baby. I can't think of that.". Well, that day came. Now smile like you are happy to go to school. Michelle and sometimes Jason. Stories from the Payne's.

Growing Paynes: November 2014
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Sunday, November 16, 2014. Once again, Jason is older than me. I know, he will always be, but the numbers again say it. His birthday was low-key but good. We took him lunch on campus and surprised him with a gourmet cupcake from Kroger. He chose the peanut butter one as opposed to the cookies and creme one. After dinner, we had Ghiradelli Triple Fudge brownies and Blue Bell homemade Vanilla ice cream. Michelle and sometimes Jason. The weirdes...

Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Sunday, January 25, 2015. When I get upset, he becomes "child". Why do they do it? I mean, I didn't do it. Some of my sisters did and my littlest brother did it a few times, but I didn't. And Carter didn't do it. But Tanner,oh, that Tanner. I did haircuts yesterday. Evening. 12 hours ago. Why, child? He tried to hide from me the whole time, but there is only so much you can do in the tub. Michelle and sometimes Jason. Can't someone else do it?

Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Sunday, August 23, 2015. Party, Party Party. Having two kids with birthdays in the same week makes it kind of nice when it comes to celebrating.I only have to have one party and cake (at least this year, Andrew is too young to know the difference). We had some friends over for dinner and cake (my version of a birthday "party"). A harmonica and dusty sunglasses. they love to make music and wear shades in the car. Cute boys. Fun times. I was so...

Growing Paynes: Texas 2
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2015/08/texas-2.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. After all the festivities were over, we headed up to Weatherford, stopping off at Tyler and Jess's for a few hours. There we had lots of fun with Grandma and Papa and cousins. One afternoon was an open gym for preschoolers and we LOVE that kind of thing. From where he jumped, that was the best hold he could get, not a fan. Much better way to swing, but he would not let go this time. Oh, but that run. So proud of his ...

Growing Paynes: February 2015
http://growingpaynes09.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Jason, Michelle, Carter, Tanner, Matthew, Andrew, and Lindsey. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Baby love, my baby love. I need you, oh, how I need your love. I am always singing this to Andrew. But how could you not need this sweet, chubby face? He was trying to get into his Valentine candy. This boy is 6 months old! Where has the time gone? Michelle and sometimes Jason. All I saw of them was the back of their heads. The girls came out and did some of their different acrobatics. But not my Matthew man. We wen...
