my blog

I'm working right now... or telling Dave that I'm working right now while I do some blog browsing and jumping back and forth between those blogs and my work program... anyway... I ran across this blog and absolutely fell in love with how she explained herself. When I first started this blog, I knew there were some things I didn't really care to discuss in great deal on here... reasons of which I will spare you of right now... but in this process, I never want to give the impression that our family has it together here... I'm not convinced we ever have anything together... except we know who we are, what we stand for, and that there is a great deal of love in this house... I'm rambling... back to the point, kind of ... I love #2 on her FAQs, especially this...

One more thing. Please keep in mind that on this blog I attempt to keep things very positive and showcase the best and prettiest things happening in my life. That doesn’t mean there aren’t bad days and failed projects and lost tempers. At the end of the day, blogs are a show. I suppose that’s why we like them so much.

April 12, 2000 - the day our lives changed forever

Wow. I am in so much disbelief after digging out these photos... hurts my heart. I surely didn't think 11 years ago I'd feel this way. This child changed our lives in so many ways. He taught us to love. He taught us to live. He made us grow up in a hurry. And none of it I would change for anything. I blame this huge family on this little guy who got everything started. He was a miracle from God. A miracle I didn't even know I wanted so badly. He made so many things right and continues to bless us every day. He is everyone's favorite. And I know he knows it. Keep being you Peyton William. We love you so much.

Happy Birthday Peyton William!

The Beast at 2!

This Child.... yet another heartbreaker! He gets in to everything, destroys nearly everything he comes in to contact with, and to top it off... has everyone wrapped around his little finger. He sure knows how to bat those wildly long eyelashes to his advantage. Every day he amazes us and every day I enjoy watching his personality grow... even if it is in to more of a beast. I'll take it ;)

Happy Birthday Beast!

It astonishes me daily how fast these kids grow... it's down right amazing!

 

Jax Man!

Just a short year ago I rushed to the hospital only to miss the birth of my second nephew by mere seconds. Hooray for speedy births!

This little man is such a ham. Those dimples and jagged teeth get me every time. He fits right in and I'm afraid Drew is in trouble being the girl around here after a cluster of 4 boys...

Happy FIRST Birthday Jax Man!
