Payton was born on January 14th at 8:32am. He was 3 1/2 weeks early, but he is a healthy beautiful boy. I delivered at Banner Gateway. The new hospital on Higley and the Freeway. It was a great hospital. The rooms were great and the nurses were amazing. I highly recommend delivering at this hospital.

I feel so blessed to be the mom of two beautiful boys. I couldn't be happier. Although the nights are long I couldn't be happier to have Payton here with us. I was so anxious to meet him and when they placed him on my chest for the first time I just cried and thanked my Heavenly Father for sending me a healthy baby boy. I love being a mom!

I am such a proud mommy!

"Oh why did you bring me into this cruel world?" Shhhhhhh!

Trying to wake Payton up is pretty hard sometimes!

My Three Boys! I am so Lucky!

Jared just loves to lay right next to Payton and test moms patients!

Jared's favorite treat is yogurt. Although sometimes he enjoys wearing it more than he does eating it!!

What?! I'm so cute and innocent!!

We went and picked out a pumpkin to carve. I thought Jared would love pulling all the guts out from the inside, but he wouldn't touch after once. He didn't like the feel of it at all!
Jared was a Sheriff for Halloween. He wore his daddys badge and thought he ruled the town!!
Here is Jared and Jaxon ready to go out on the town for a night of Trick or Treating.
Riding along in my automobile!!
