Christmas

Wow! I have to say this Christmas was wonderful the best yet. Peyton brings so much joy and love to our entire family, I just cannot even remember life before him. Eric and I are so blessed to have this sweet little person in our lives, we just love him more everyday. I cannot imagine how I will love another the way I love him, but everyone says I will. That is my biggest fear about this other little one that will join our family, I just cannot imagine how it will be possible to love it as much, Peyton is my heart. I am sure this next one will fill our lives with more love than we can imagine, just like Peyton has! Anyway, Peyton was the sweetest thing this Christmas he understood things so much better, when he woke up Christmas morning the look on his face was priceless, his comment was "look what all Santa bought for me" he was so appreciative and concerned about everyone else's gifts. He is just the sweetest thing.

We had a busy week on Sunday Peyton was Joseph in the preschool Christmas play, I was so afraid of how he would do because he wanted to hold baby Jesus and so did Mary, but he did wonderful. It was so sweet to see him up there, they sang happy birthday to Jesus! We spent the rest of the week visiting with family, and allowing everyone to spoil Peyton rotten it is unreal the toys this child received. Here are some pictures, I cannot even put into words the joy Peyton gave us this Christmas his personality is just exploding and I am sure next year will be even better.


I am missing a picture of Peyton's big gift from Santa a 4-Wheeler I will post later.

Christmas Party with Friends

We had our annual Christmas party with our closest Friends this weekend. We always have a great time but this year was even better, I think it was because the kids were at such a fun age, and Santa paid us a visit. I have to say this is something that I look forward to every year at Christmas I just love being with everyone and seeing all the children interact. I think we had 9 children and we will have 5 more that we know of next year! Kelli's house was just perfect for the event, we missed little Jackson he was sick, but he came near the end and this made Peyton's night. They just play so well together they are both ruff and tough little boys! Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Group shot not too bad!

Peyton and Weatherly playing I cannot believe they were actually both looking at the camera!

Peyton pushing Princess Weatherly in the wagon, she had all the men pushing her by the end of the night.

Peyton with Santa he loved him, he was the first one to sit in Santa's lap!

Jayce with Santa

Griffin with Santa, he was just mesmerized we could not get him to look at the camera for nothing. He is the happiest little baby, I could just eat him up!

Sweet little Weatherly was not that thrilled with Santa

Taylor did not like him either, she is so sweet!

Peyton right before Santa left!

Peyton Has Something To Tell Everyone

I am pregnant and due around July 16th, we are very excited!

Two Zoo Trips

I have been a little slack lately, but there has been a lot going on. Peyton and I have been to the Zoo twice. Tara and I took the kiddos, and then did a little shopping and then a couple weekends ago a group of us went to see the lights at the zoo and have a nice dinner. Both trips were fun, I think Peyton enjoyed the first one more because the animals were out. Here are some Pictures.

Loves Starbucks!

Since Peyton has been in school, I always try to take him somewhere after school as a reward if he is a good boy and does not cry. I will do anything if he does not cry when I leave him. Last week one day I picked him up from school and I said Peyton what do you want to do now since you have been such a big boy today, this is what he said, I almost feel out! "I want to go to Starbucks and get Ice Cokee" He gets this from Mommy she loves Starbucks, even though he probably should not have this I took him anyway and got him a decaf white mocha on ice. He drank every bit if it and then wanted mine! I think a two year old asking for Starbucks is a little high maintenance.

Halloween Fun!

We've had a number of Halloween Activities, we had a fall festival at church,pumpkin carving at Tara and Jayce's, and a Halloween parade at Peyton's School. Peyton has really enjoyed all of them. We are so lucky to have such great friends to share these times with!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We've had a lot going on with Halloween activities, and a big day planned today, I will post all of those pictures tomorrow. For now HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM OUR SWEET LITTLE COW!

School

Peyton is getting a little better at school, we are just taking it one day at a time. This is a typical day.

Before School under the carport

In the parking lot when we pull into school! (pitiful)

I am having to really talk him into going each morning. Once he gets there he loves it, he told me yesterday he wanted to go back to school but this morning he cried and wanted me to stay at school and play with him. It is still hard, but he will get better!

Pumkin Patch

Peyton and I went Saturday to McBee to visit the pumpkin patch with Tara, Jayce, DeAnn, Weatherly, Kelli and Jackson. We had so much fun, you never know what is going to happen when you pack four children under the age of two in a car and take a trip, but we are all so proud of the children they were so well behaved. The kiddos absolutely loved it, we were able to take a horse drawn carriage to the pumpkin patch and then pick a pumpkin of our choice. We ended the afternoon with a meal at Myami's and the children were so well behaved, I cannot wait for our next outing. See Pictures!

All loaded in my car!

We made it! (The first attempt of a group picture)
