lots of belated and one right on time.....

birthdays.

prior to mary peyton, i was as punctual as anybody on them - cards, calls, e-mails, etc.

so below are a few of my belated birthdays that i need to come clean with.....and sorry if the spacing isn't perfect - it looks right on here, but once i hit "publish post", who knows what will happen! and for some of you - yes, i stole your pictures off of facebook, blogs, etc., fair and square!!!

jan and nelson: this mother/son combo shares the same birthday!!!

roseann (aka row; aka aunt row; aka sal): the closest thing i have to a sister. she is so precious to me! oh - and thanks to her, i'm going to be an "aunt" again!!! YEA!!!!!!!


julz and mark: they are HOME! well, not in jackson yet, but will be soon! and i can't wait to see them!!!!! these are mary peyton's godparents. and they live in south africa (for those who don't know). and we want them on THIS side of the water!!!


key: (aka mimi) what would i do without her? she has been another mother to me, as well as one of my best friends. i can always count on her.

chasity: sweet, sweet friend. she knows a lot of the "desires of my heart" and somewhat understands me!

bo: growing up, he was like my brother. too bad we don't get to see each other hardly EVER now. but when i need him, i can call him at any time. sorry for the goofy face mary peyton is making.....


cory: does this one really need an explanation? just go back and read some posts. he is mary peyton's first crush

kevin: tommy's brother-in-law.....i'll claim him, too! lives "way on down" in tallahassee, florida!

layton: one of our 2 nephews. he was born just a few days after mary peyton! by the way - this is kevin's son (and amanda - she had "just a little something" to do with it!)

aunt betty jane: my daddy's baby sister....and one of my favorite aunts! she and my uncle ride their harley a lot with daddy/theresa on their trips!

dawson: the son of another one of my most precious friends. you know the friends you can call and wake up at 2 a.m. if you need to? well, shana is one of those... we pretty much know each other inside and out!

papa: our precious gift from God after the death of tommy's dad. we could not ask for a better papa (pronounced "paw paw") for mary peyton!

demetria: (aka dee dee) my down the street neighbor and bunko playing friend. not to mention the one person who can tear UP some armpits if you need her to (go read her blog....hillarious). my sweet mary peyton LOVES her some dee dee!

russ: one of mary peyton's future beaus. too too cute! and this is dee dee's (and kevin's) son

bryce: one who is going to fight russ for mary peyton. in fact, he and mary peyton already "claim" each other (you can ask mpb who her boyfriend is and she'll say bryce - ask bryce who his girlfriend is and he'll say mary peyton). bryce's mom was my roommate, kim!

and now one that's on time!

ashley: my sweet friend and awesome prayer partner! happy birthday - on time!!! can't wait for our "date" next week! i feel like i haven't seen you in forever - even though we talk/text almost daily...

(i had to put 2 pictures of her on here - one of just her and the other of her and her cat, doris day. doris is in one of those funny collars right now because something is wrong with her eye - but this is doris pre-eye problems!)

~~*disclaimer: if you have had a birthday and i did not post a happy birthday wish to you, please know that it was not intentional - it's almost midnight and i am WORN OUT*~~

~~*and i did not mention mary peyton or mary key due to the fact that they got their own posts!!!*~~
