Happy Birthday Peyton

Wow! Where did the last 12 years go?? It seems like it has just flown by and then again I feel like Peyton has been our baby alot longer than 12 years some days:) I do not even know where to begin! I am crying as I type this blog entry.. If you know us you know our story and I know exactly where I need to begin! I THANK GOD for this precious child! Oh my goodness, he was the sweetest baby and was so good, we honestly called him our "angel baby"There has not been one day of his life that he has not made us laugh!:) he is so full of life, energy, humor you name it!!`After we moved to St Louis is when the TROUBLE began oh my goodness! what happened to our angel baby? he started to preschool when he was 3 and loved it and loved being Mr Independent so different from his brother.. Man we had valleys and mountains and more valleys and then I guess it was 3rd grade when all we saw were the Mountains and continue to see them today! Praise God!! Peyton is such a great kid with a heart for others, especially babies and animals! He is so sensitive and I love that about him..He loves his friends and his family.. I think it is so funny how you know where you stand with Peyton if he likes you, you totally know and if he doesn't like you, you totally know..lol:) I can not believe he is 12 years old today, I have been so sad for the past couple of days, I know it is silly but I just realize that my baby is growing up... I guess when you know you are not having anymore it gets harder as they get older.. I look forward to watching him and Phillip grow into men and I look forward to everyday with them! I pray daily for both my boys that they will grow into Strong Christ Followers and they will be true examples of Godly men! I pray that God will watch over them and protect their hearts and minds as they go thru the difficult teen years.. I pray that God will just keep them pure and innocent and I pray that both of them in time will find strong Christian girls who come from the same foundation as they do!! Happy Happy Birthday Peyton! I hope that you have a great day and I hope you know how much Daddy and me love you and how proud of you we are! We wish you nothing but lots of happiness and smiles and we pray that God will pour many many blessings on your precious life! Don't ever forget you can be whatever you want to be, whatever you set your mind to,do your best and know that we are your biggest fan club forever!! love you! love you! love you!! xoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
