He will be missed

Jason's Grandpa Charlie just passed away this evening. He was such a generous and kind man!
We captured these pictures with him in November. Peyton just wouldn't stop smiling at Papa Charlie! She just loved and adored him. Logan did as well.
We will miss Charlie very much!!

My heart over flows

I couldn't be more happy or content with these little loves! My heart is so full!

I love me so BBQ

My parents invited the whole Tillamook county Motsinger clan down for some yummy BBQ on Sunday! We had such a wonderful time! The weather was perfect and we all just enjoyed each other so much.
Mom and I also go our strawberry jelly done! I bought a flat and a 1/2 at our local farmers market. I got them from the Strawberry ladies, and let me tell you....they were the prettiest strawberrys I have EVER seen! Soooo yummy too. I had a blast making them all up and my freezing has us all stocked up for winter. I never realized how expensive it was to make homemade jellys and jams but OH it was soooo worth it!

I am SOOOO not judging but...........

I just wanna know....WHY would you cover your body this way?

Just like his daddy

So, I have NEVER been creative...Never. I can make some cute cards, make a mean batch of choc. chip peanut butter cookies, and scrub me a pretty looking toilet, but creativity...that is just not me. My husband on the other hand...He is soooooooooo creative. And you who know my Jason, know what I am talking about. When I first starting hanging around this Motsinger Family, I was always amazed at the things the boys would make up to keep themselves busy. Now, I know that my son is taking after them. I was watering our yard the other day and Logan runs in the the house and yells, " Mommy, I finally know how to use my Spiderman umbrella.." He grabs it and runs for the sprinkler. When it comes to summertime, I am usually all game for getting wet. Plus, it was so darn cute, who couldn't let him do it;) Peyton even wanted in on the fun.
Peyton and Logan have been soooooooooooo enjoying his little tent this summer. Inside and out...the giggles that those to give out....melts my heart.

I keep finding her in some funny new places

ve

Peyton is 10 months old now. Walking all around by herself and getting more and more indepedent. I was sitting on the couch today and I had to double take...did I leave that door opened?? How in the world did she end up in there? I pulled her out, shut the door and let her show me if she was the one who opened it. Sure enough, She looks at me with a BIG smile, opens the door and climbs in. Then begins a little booty dance with a PROUD giggle!

Time Keeps on ticking ticking ticking...into the future......

Peyton is 9 months old! I can hardly believe it! Our nickname for her is Torpedo. Ya put her down on one side of the room and you walk to the other and seconds later she is climbing up your leg. She is such a fast little crawler! She keeps taking steps by herself. Today she walked 5 steps to me by herself. So fun watching her be brave and take those first steps! Peyton is such a happy and fun baby. We feel so very blessed she belongs to us;)

Laurie took some pics of her while we visited them over memorial day! Thought I would share them.
