Happy Birthday Park and Payton!

Payton read all the words on Park's monument.

A precious picture for Mommy!


What a handsome littie guy!

Payton really liked his red cupcake, and now he looks like the joker!


Brock eating his cupcake!


Today was Park and Payton's birthday! It really didn't feel like Payton's birthday since we had all of the celebration over the weekend, but he knew it was his birthday. He got up from his nap and said, "You need to sing Happy Birthday to me Mommy". So I did! We also had cupcakes and Payton's best buddy Brock came over to eat them with us.

Even though Park is no longer with us, it is a family tradition for us to go out to the cemetary and tell Park happy birthday and change his flowers. It is always an emotional time for us as a family, but Payton always finds some way to make of laugh even at the cemetary. This time he wore Reagan's pink sunglasses! Who can resist laughing at a little boy in pink sunglasses?

Thank you Lord for laughter even in times of sorrow. Thank you for our precious Park and the time we had with him, and thank you for the joy you give us each day in Payton and Reagan!

Happy Birthday Park and Payton!

Thanks for this. You know I had to have a good grandma cry. But, I was also very, very happy to have all the family together. That was such a joy for us.
