Happy Thanksgiving

I have so many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, I just wanted to share a few.
I am so grateful for such an amazing husband who I love more than anything. I am thankful for all that he does for our family, and the sacrifices that he makes for us. He is my rock and I look up to and admire him. I'm thankful for all the hugs, kisses and I love you's he gives to me and the cute little notes that he leaves. Thanks honey for all that you do for Payton & I, we love you so much!!!
I am thankful for a sweet little boy who is our pride and joy. He is always making us smile and laugh, especially with his singing and great dance moves, I thank Heavenly Father everyday for him. I love the cute things he says to us like, "you're the best mommy & daddy in the world" or "you're beautiful mommy", and for all the "I love you's", the list goes on and on and I am so grateful for it and cherish it. Also for the cute prayers that he says without any help, it is the cutest thing to hear the things that he prays for. I love the little hugs & kisses and the times he snuggles with me, thanks Payt for being you, we love you!!!
I'm grateful for wonderful family & friends who do so much for us, what would we do without you. Thank you everyone for always being there for us and all that you do. We have so many great examples around us and we can't say thank you enough, we hope you know just how much you mean to us. We love you!!!!!
It is nice to have a time of year that we can reflect on just how much we have to be thankful for, I am grateful for so many things, I could go on forever. We are very blessed, but I am especially thankful to our Heavenly Father and Jesus for all that they do and give to us. Thank you everyone for being a part of our life and everything you do. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Our cute family!!!


November Update






Well I have been slacking, the time is just flying by way to quickly. I just thought that I would catch up on what has been going on the past few weeks. Payton is just getting bigger and just as sweet as ever. I feel so lucky that I have been able to stay at home with him, he defiantly is a mama's boy and I'm loving every minute. He was invited to his first birthday party for Riley, a little girl in his preschool class, it seems so crazy that my baby is getting so big. Ever since preschool started he has been talking about Riley calling her his "girlfriend" and she has told her parents that she is going to marry Payton, it's funny to hear them talk about it, but it's defiantly starting way too early.
It was also my 28th birthday, holy cow I never thought that I'd be that old. On Saturday we went to Texas Road House with our good friends Sallie & Jesse, it was so good. We had a great time, Reed told them it was my birthday, they make you sit on a saddle while the sing to you, a little embarrassing but it was funny. We always have so much fun with Sal & Jess, we went to their house after and just hung out, it was a great night, thanks guys. On Sunday, my b-day I had to do sharing time, fun huh, it went well though and I was glad to have it over with. Reed and Payton made it a great day and we had dinner with my family. Payton wanted to say the prayer and it was the cutest thing ever it was all about mommy and I think that everyone had tears in their eyes, I loved it. Thanks everyone for making it such a great day!
We also had craft day, which we have once a month with Reed's mom and all the girls. It is so much fun, we have lunch and make the cutest things, this month we made cute weekly menu boards. We have made aprons, decorations sewing projects, frozen meals, the list goes on, we all love it

Halloween

So it has been a rough last few days with all the yucky sickness in our home. Halloween wasn't the same staying in bed all day and not going trick or treating. I felt really bad for Payton, but he really did not seem to mind. We have awesome friends and family that helped us out and made the day so much better. Gaylene & Brance and Alison brought over goodies for him and our wonderful neighbor Julie(Payton's friend Parker's mom) came and got his bucket and brought it to the ward trunk-or-treat and filled it up for him. Even his cute preschool teacher Miss Misti brought over the treats that he missed from their party. My mom also made sugar cookies with him and made us a great Halloween dinner. Courtney even carved out pumpkins with him, it was so cute and it actually turned out to be a great Halloween, thank you everyone!!!! .
We are finally starting to feel a little better, Saturday and Sunday were the worst days for me, you forget just how crappy the flu makes you feel. Luckily we've had Reed who has been taking such great care of us and we love him so much!
