Pray for my Grandpa

Please keep my grandpa in your thoughts and prayers.
He went into the hospital this last week. He has congestive heart failure and his kidneys are not doing well. It has been emotional for my family especially my grandma.

Peyton is 10 months old!

Peyton turned 10 months Monday May 19, 2008. He is double digits now, it’s going way to fast. He is so much fun and has the best personality. He started crawling a lot more this month and loves to crawl up the stairs, he will crawl all the way up and then you take him back downstairs and he will do it over and over and looks back every time to make sure you are coming and then tries to go faster and smiles, absolutely adorable. He also loves to stand and look out the window, and of course lick the window and leave little hand prints, it’s super cute right now. He loves taking baths and he will crawl in the bathroom and push his toys in and has figured out how to turn on the water. He is also talking up a storm and has started clapping his hands more. We were also able to get him back out on the boat and he loved it and did so good. We had our first Mommy’s Day which was more for me than him but it was very special.

Congratulations Bryants

Congrats to Trent and Alix Bryant on the arrival of their little boy and to Juliet who is now a big sister, I know she will be the best!

Our weekend

We had a good weekend for the most part, Peyton was getting over a cold but started doing much better. We went to a cook out at some friends on Saturday and then we went out on the boat Sunday, Peyton did great and slept 12 hours Sunday night, he was tuckered out.

Happy Mommy's Day!

My first Mommy's Day was wonderful, it's mommy's day every day for me, just having Peyton makes every day very special for me. Being a mommy is the most wonderful and rewarding experience! Now that I'm a mom I understand how much my mother loves me and the depth of that love, it makes me appreciate and understand her even more. I would like to say thank you to my mommy for everything she did and gave up for me, I will make you proud by passing that on to Peyton!

Peyton made me a plaque with his hand and foot print, it is precious!

Lance made breakfast and we had his dad and Diane over. He made dinner too. We also took flowers to Mimi's grave, I pray that she knows how much Lance loves her and what an amazing man she raised.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

HAPPY MOMMY'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOMMY'S!!

Happy Birthday Scott

Happy birthday to my little cousin Scott, he's not so little anymore!!

Happy Birthday Oma!!

Oma's birthday was Saturday May 10, 2008! We went up and had dinner and celebrated her birthday and Mother's Day. Peyton and Braylon played at the front door putting their hands on the glass, it was precious. Braylon is still very jealous of Peyton, if Oma, Opa, Aunt Belle or Aunt Kyky hold Peyton, Braylon cries. We had a good time and Peyton got to see his Great Grandparents, Great Aunts Carol and Debbie and Great Uncle Allan.

WE LOVE YOU OMA!!

My friend Stephanie did Peyton's nine month pictures on Sunday April 20, 2008.

March of Dimes

I walked in the March for Babies, March of Dimes on Sunday May 4, 2008. My team raised over $22,750!! It was a great day to walk unfortunately Peyton wasn’t able to go as he has a little cold and it was a little chilly this morning. I was so happy and excited that we raised as much as we did. A HUGE THANKS to those who sponsored me!!

Happy Birthday Andrea!!

Melanie, Me and Andrea

Lance, Andrea, Alvin and Nick

Beth, Andrea and Bonnie (three of the Wheeler sisters)

We went and celebrated Andrea’s Birthday at Howl at the Moon, it was a great time and it was nice for me and Lance to get out of the house, Oma and Opa came down and babysat so they had fun.

Went to Paradise Park

Peyton coming through the tunnel.

Having fun!!

Austin in the balls.

Me, Peyton and Tre met up with Andrea and Austin and we ate at On the Border, and then went to Paradise Park. Tre played in the shooting balls and was soaking wet with sweat. He palyed in the water area, the store and then did a tattoo. Peyton and Austin played in the infant area and Peyton was absolutely everywhere as he usually is. It was nice that they could just play and then me and Andrea got to catch up, it was a great day!

Happy Birthday Tre!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRE!!

Tre and Peyton in the tub!

Happy Birthday Tre Baker!! Tre turned 5 on May 1, 2008. Tre spent the night with us and then wento Paradise Park on Friday. When I picked him up he was disappointed that Lance didn't pick him up, but then he was excited because he got to get Peyton. When we got home he wanted to take Peyton for a walk so we walked down the block and he pulled Peyton in the wagon. Tre was such a big help, he wanted to bathe Peyton and did a very good job and then helped put him to bed and then helped get him up the next morning, he gave him hugs and kisses and wanted to hold and carry him. He said that Peyton is his little buddy, it was very cute and we had a blast and the help was very welcomed!!
