We celebrated Payton's 12th birthday last week. What a fun, loooooong day! She was up at 4:00 am unable to sleep anticipating the day ahead. And, when Payton wakes up...so does everyone else. (she doesn't intentionally wake us up...it just happens!). I don't think anyone loves and appreciates birthdays more than my daughter. As a matter of fact...her future husband needs to know this. :)
The absolute best part of her day is "horsing around." It was definitely easier to carry this tradition on in Tucson. This was the 7th year Max and I have scrambled, searched, begged, etc. to get this young lady a horse ride. Thank you, God, for providing this very special treat, for this very special girl. (Yes, I'm bias!) ;)
...and she's off!
Once again, a homemade cake was requested. My choices were limited. In the past, I've made a horse head, horse shoe, horsed in corals, etc. So this year I decided to turned to the western attire. (Plus anyone that knows Payton...she lives in her boots!) Max still teased me saying, "what a great hammer!" :)
Happy Birthday, angel girl. It seemed like yesterday that you sat on your very first saddle....
May God bless you! I love you VERY much!!

Roxanne--I miss you! I was going thru my bookmarks & found this. Oh my how Landon & Payton have grown, they're gorgeous!!! So you're back in AZ, looks like you all are loving it! We're in Louisiana, it's been better than I could've ever imagined! I'm a jazzercise instructor (what I was born to be, you know besides mom, etc). The girls are doing well, still homeschooling. Lacie turns 17 on Valentines. Can't believe it's gone so quick. Would love to chat more, my email is lainiesjazz@gmail.com You have a beautiful family & I still have such fond memories of spending Paytons birthday riding!
Teehee--I forgot to put my name--Alaine Petticrew, Lainie's my "stage" name, haha. I'm going by that more often these days.
