Ok, so we've been too busy having fun to post anything. But here's a brief summary...went to Newport Beach for some fun, played on the beach, saw the LaBrea tar pits, American Girl store, Hollywood, went on Jeff's Uncle's boat, went to tide pools, biked a lot, ran alot and got a tan...whew! So then we came back north to prepare for school. fun over. The girls got great teachers and were very happy with their first 2 days of the year. So far off to a great start. It's weird to have so much quiet time at the house..but I'll get use to it.

Hannah's Stage Debut!

We all know that she can dance, but this Friday Hannah wowed a crowd in Davis, Ca with her singing and acting in "The Lion King". The show was a hit and she is well on her way to Broadway and the Tony award she hopes to win someday. Congratulations Hannah, we are so proud of you!!! (check out her duet attached)

Hannah's 8!

Happy Birthday Hannah!
I can't believe our baby is 8! She is growing up too fast. She had a fun day yesterday, went to the movies with 6 friends and then went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream cake...easiest party there ever was! She is also doing a musical camp for the next two weeks and was so excited for it this morning. She might have had her calling. We'll see if she can get an Oscar one day.

Happy Birthday USA!

Happy 4th! What a great family day. We are all so excited for fireworks, hanging with friends, and family time together. We're heading to the Dixon fairgrounds for some old fashion fourth stuff...carnival rides, junk food and fireworks.

Are we in the club?

well, everyone seems to be doing this so why not the Paynes! After seeing Tom and Jen's blog I thought that it would be a great way for us to share stuff too. So, now you can have all the Payne girls you can handle at any moment of the day. Plus, we can let the girls post stuff from time to time. We will even keep you up to date with marathon training and house hunting.
