Gotta Love Little Sisters

The kids are always fighting over this Rocking Dog! It Never fails!

Rayven loves to ride this rocking Dog. Why I have No Clue!
He falls off it a lot as well!Peyton likes to ride this rocking dog too
So what do they try!?!?!

Now it is Peyton's turn to fall off of it! Haha

Just want this to stay near the top for my not so often visitors

Just a Little FYI
I wanted to clear something up. The large television that we recently got was not bought by us it was a gift from my father who lives in California. (Thank you Again Dad) There is no way that we could afford to purchase something with that price tag on it. We rarely get nice things due to our financial situation.

Not So Locked Up But Close!

A Little info behind this post. Rayven and Ian's Bedroom is connected to our room and there is a little walk through closet. Well... during bedtime Ian and Rayven would think it was only to climb over the small entertainment stand we have for the Television. So we decided to move our bed in front of the closet door and now they drag their toy box over to the headboard and watch TV when they are supposed to be going to bed. LOL

Ian will stand here for hours if you let him! Haha

Peyton+Food=LOVE

Peyton Absolutly LOVES food! If she is upset and throwing a fit all you have to do is give her something to eat! Haha Such a Silly Girl I tell you!

Happy 5th Birthday Baby Boy!

It all started with a sick day from work. I thought I was sick with the flu... I was throwing up and just down right tired. Went to the DR. To confirm it was the flu and not something I needed medication for and she said well I think you have the Nine month Flu.

As time went by and an ultrasound was in scheduled everyone kept asking me are you gonna find out what the baby is (boy/girl)? I said No I want it to be a surprise. Day of the ultrasound the Dr. didnt ask the same question. lol He just said OH BOY! That is the clearest picture of male genitals I have ever seen on one of these machines. lol Next thing I said is I am going to have a son? Sure enough 5 months later on May 14th, 2003 11:49pm I was a VERY PROUD MOTHER TO RAYVEN DAVID-THOMAS!

Rayven this is to you Son~

You are one of the most important things in my life, You make my world go round. We love you with every bit of our hearts and then some. Without you (and your Brother and Sister) I would be lost. You make your dad and I proud every single day. I look at you and think, Man I have a very awesome little guy in you.

This Picture isnt very clear but I dont have a scanner. This is Rayven 4 days after coming home from the hospital.

Look at how you've grown Boy!! Your dad and I Love You Very Much Rayven!

Happy Birthday Son!

MY LITTLE BOY
Written By Sabrina A. Hernandez
No Amount of gold could ever compare, To the Gift of love that my son shares.
I've been blind and I couldn't see that all the love I've wanted is right here in front of me.
He gives reason to get through another day.
Maybe it's how he loves me in his special little way.
And when it gets hard for me to sleep at night.....
He wraps his little arms around me and says God will make things right!
From sweet gentle touches to his bear hugs and a kiss....
He makes hell on earth seem more like a peaceful bliss.
That great big kool-aid smile and the twinkle in his eyes...
Every time I look at him it makes me want to cry.
But they're not tears of sorrow; They're tears of pride and joy....
Too know that all the love in heaven is wrapped around my little boy.
