Peyton's 2nd Birthday

Wow. I cannot believe my baby is 2 years old already!! It seems like just yesterday, I was in L&D having my little girl. She has been such a blessing in our lives. She DEFINATLY makes our lives more interesting. She is hilarious and full of spunk. I have a feeling she will be a handful for the rest of our lives haha. She's amazing! We had to have her birthday party a little late because of money issues, but we celebrated her life on the 20th of Feb. We had it at the bowling alley. She had a blast and, as usual, got spoiled. I'm going to post a bunch of pictures from her Birthday party and from the day before her birthday when we took her to Chuck-E-Cheese. She had fun then too!!

Me, Peyton, Raelynn, and Sondra

My girls

Yesterday, one of my facebook friends, Nicole posted a blog that she follows. I looked at it and was instantly heartbroken. Another little life gone. 4 month old babygirl Maddy passed away the other day. I sat there and bawled my eyes out as I read the past few posts her wonderful mother had posted. My heart is broken for her. I proceeded to read her whole entire blog from the beginning yesterday. I finished in just a few hours. I let Peyton watch her Diego and I sat here and read. And cried. I could never even begin to imagine what her and her husband are going through, and will continue to go through the rest of their lives. It's so sad. But it's made me look at my girls and be more thankful than ever for them. I love them SO MUCH and could never imagine my life without them! (even as I sit here and listen to them argue and fight in their room lol) I am one lucky mamma to be their mommy!! I will never take them for granted because I know that one day, it could all be taken away. I love you Annabelle and Peyton with everything that I have!!!

Happy Love Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Just wanted to share a little bit today. My hubby and I have been together for almost 3 years now (on March 10th) and have been married for almost 2 years (on April 28th). He's a wonderful man and I'm happy to be spending V-Day with him today! (even though he worked last night and is sleeping now haha). He surprised me today. He had told me that he had NO time to shop and he didn't get me anything. Then made me feel bad when I told him I got him something. Then he (after he let me sleep in today) woke me up with a card and a GORGEOUS necklace!! He's awesome!! I love you Chad David!!
