My Son, Peyton Isaiah, is so sweet!

Peyton's favorite color is red, so I'm typing in red....:0)
I was sitting here thinking of things he has said or done here lately that has just made me smile or laugh....


  • He is on an antiobiotic so this makes him have a rough time going to sleep and even waking up early!! So, 2 nights ago, right before we were going to sleep it was about 11, we thought he was asleep, he comes in the hallway and says I need to go pee, oh! and i want to sleep on the floor (he likes to put his mattress on the floor...I don't know why! but he does ;0)!) and we were like no, Peyton it's too late lets do it tomorrow....after he had gone to the bathroom, we followed him to his room to tuck him in one last time, and guess what HE put the mattress on the floor himself!!!!! LOLOL It just CRACKED us up!!!
  • Another thing....he is getting so sweet every single day about talking about his Baby Brother, or "His" Baby....like yesterday he wanted to hug and kiss baby Brayden, and he was hugging my stomach so much and he goes, is Brayden hugging me right now? It's so sweet....Or he'll just talk right at my belly button and just talk to Brayden like he's in the room already, and just tells him he loves him.....I need to get this on video to show everyone, I love it!!! He said he wants to teach Brayden how to go potty...and all this...and yesterday he saw the Kids on Jon and Kate Plus 8 swimming, and he said I need to get my baby swimming trunks!!! LOL! He is so thoughtful!!!
  • He is such a sweet little guy, and with the new baby coming I want him to feel just as involved and included than anything....I don't want him to ever think we have put him on the back-burner or anything...I'm praying every day that God will prepare all 3 of us for this new change in our lives that will happen in 3 1/2 months....so far, I truly feel Peyton feels like he is part of it all....and I'm so thankful for this!!! Please help us pray.....

Last Friday was Halloween!

Well, I'm a little delayed in writing about last Friday's Night...out on the town in Cleveland, for Peyton's Halloween Excursions LOL!

At 5:00 Jason and I went and changed him at his parents house, and then he went outside and trick or treated there.....




And then, they asked if he wanted to go inside and get more treats, and of course he did!!! And lo and behold, he got a huge bag full of toys, from monster trucks and a new shirt, and lots of candy! And the Baby also got a present that Peyton helped open!




And the next stop was over to Bethany's house, who is Justin's girlfriend.....Justin wanted to get Peyton some neat treats, and they included SILLY STRING, which Justin watched Peyton the next night, and they played "Silly String" outside, and guess where Peyton put it, ON THE HOUSE, and we have a stucco siding for the house, hmmmmmm gotta love Uncles lol!




Then the next stop was to Great-Gramma and Grampa Sharpe's house, because Peyton is their only trick or treater and they always love to do something special for Peyton, it's so sweet!!




Well, then we heard that Aunt Becca was about to arrive from North Carolina, so we hurried home to meet up with her so she could go out with us! She brought one of her dogs-Ranger, and even got Peyton a very cute cake for Halloween!





Then, we loaded back into the car to go to our mall. Our church along with a local Baptist Church...Westwood Baptist, teamed up together and had some games in the mall and were handing out candy. Needless to say this was not my favorite stop nor Peyton's! They had a Haunted House in the mall, and they were scaring children...Peyton called the people dressed up, "Bad People", and then the lines were crazy, and just people everywhere, we will not be visiting the mall next year!!! But here are some cute pics of Peyton....






We then headed to the First Baptist's Family Life Center, and this was the best thing that we went to that night!!! They had this huge field...filled with Inflatables everywhere!!! And it wasn't terribly crowded either....and they had little games and food as well....I was so impressed by how they did their festival!!! I hope our church will be able to do this next year at our new land....where our new building is....Anyways, here are some good pics, I took a lot but here are just a few, Peyton as you can see LOVES inflatables....and loves to go on really high ones!!! Becca couldn't believe he was going to climb this really high one, but he did and proved us wrong LOL!





Our last stop was to our dear friends Charles and Betsy Houston's house....:0)



And this was just a long night, it lasted from 5-10 p.m., and in the middle of everything, Jason went to our high school rivals football game, so I was thankful to have my sister in town to go around with Peyton and me....

Peyton had a blast as you can see in the pictures, he had fun dressing up as Lightning McQueen's Race Car Driver....It was a fun family night....we're not into celebrating the Day of Halloween, but we love making it a family night, with fun family activities to do! :0)
