Our First Play date

 

playdate 025

Today Payton and myself hosted the very first play date at our house.  We hope there will be many more to come.  Stacey, Cameron, Diana, and Brody joined up for the play date.  All 3 of our boys had a great time playing together and eating!  I cooked lunch and made sure all of us Mama’s got our bellies full!  In the picture above, Stacey and Diana were trying to eat but as you can see the little ones always come first.

Baby Cameron taking a nap on mommy! That is the sweetest thing ever!

Overall we had a great time and the boys played so well together.  Diana, Stacey and myself have been best friends for quite a while now.  When we were teenagers we all thought that I would get married first, then Diana, and then Stacey.  Well life didn’t happen that way.  Diana was married first in May of 2006, I was married in June 2007, and Stacey was married in April 2008.  Isn’t it amazing how God works in our lives?  I was the first one to give birth to Payton in July 2008 followed by Diana having Brody in December 2008 and followed by Stacey having Cameron in May 2009.  It is crazy how we all had boys and we wouldn’t trade them for any sweet little frilly dressed girl!  Although we were all talking today how cool it would be for us all to have girls the next time around.  God is so good to us and even though we don’t get to see each other a lot with our busy lives, I am blessed to know that if I need Stacey or Diana that they would be here in a split second and I am proud to say that they are my best friends.  They both are good people and are good role models for Payton.  I say that they are Payton’s “Aunt Diana and Aunt Stacey”.  I hope the start of today’s first play date is just one of the many to come in the near future.  Stacey has already spoke up to host next months play date at her house for October.  Diana will have November and it will be my turn again for December…..yay!!!  Hope you enjoyed the sweet pictures of our little pumpkins!

We had such a good time hanging out with everyone! Brody was fast asleep before we got to the end of your road! I can't wait for the next one!
