Happy Birthday Mama

 

Yesterday November 17th was my mama’s birthday.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mother whom I have always been so close with.  She is my best friend and I have always been able to tell her anything.  As far back as 4th grade I can remember her being in the hospital throughout much of my life.  She has a lot of medical problems with her heart including 2 mechanical valves, a pacemaker, and a constant battle with congestive heart failure.  She is such a strong women and I can truly say that she has been through a lot in her short life but she puts up a good fight even when she feels terrible.  I would have to say she loves all of her family but the highlight of her life would be Payton and Jackson!  Here are some pictures from her birthday supper at the Baron and Beef.

Above is Mama and sweet Jackson

Our Little Monkey

Well this year was Payton’s second Halloween but actually this one was much more fun!  He was old enough to enjoy his costume and hold his basket for candy.  He did really good and didn’t get aggravated  with his costume except he took his hat off as often as he could.  He was the sweetest little monkey I ever did see and we had a great time trick-or-treating with our family.  Here are some good pictures of our sweet monkey.

Aunt Joy gave Payton candy along with a stick hobby horse whom we named Goldie after Pa Pa’s horse that Payton loves.  Payton kept going up to this stick horse and giving it a kiss…how sweet is he!

Overall we had a great time and look forward to the many years to come spending precious time with our sweet angel.  How blessed we are to even have a child to love and spoil and we are double blessed to have a healthy child.  Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful family!
