Family....

This is the new member of the family, Justin. He is brand new today.
He is having a little nap, it has been a big day.
The Lord has blessed my sister and her family with this wonderful baby boy. I am so proud of both my sisters, they are such a good mommies. Having my sisters are such a blessing to me, I seem to find that where one of us are weak, the other two hold up the strength for the other.

I know I have not been on here for a little while, sorry, sorry. Well my church is having a Mother Daughter tea party, fashion show. And I was nominated to make the candy, I thought no problem, I have done these 100s of times. Well not 320 of them. So that is what I have been doing for three days. We are so excited about it. Lydia Grace can't wait, Lexi bug doesn't get to go this year. So I will take lots of pictures and post them soon.

Now the big news, my sister had her baby today (Justin) he is so precious. The funny thing is that her other son Jaylen, his birthday is TODAY too. So both of her boys birthdays are on the same day. He was due next Friday, and they were going to be a week apart. Well, no

he decided to come early. So my Mom and Dad have been more than blessed with grand children. I think more than they thought. Lets take a look at the role:

Jordan 9, Jonathan 8, Jaylen Reece 5, Lydia Grace 4, Cameron Joesph 2, Alexis Riley 1, and Justin Raymond (new)

Do you see a pattern in the names and ages. Lots of "J" names and each set one year apart.

And most of the middle names start with "R" or "J". A name says a lot about you.

Now David picked out Jonathan's name, because his middle name starts with a "J", (I wanted Jackson). So I picked out Lydia Grace because her grandmothers name is Linda, and the other grandmothers name is Rebecca Gail,( David wanted Alexis).

In all of that I just new I wasn't going to have any more children so I said if we ever have another girl, we can name her Alexis. Well the Lord blessed me with another girl, I thought he would forget the name thing. I said lets name her Bella, he QUICKLY reminded me about our agreement. And it was fine, it fits her perfectly, and she still got her middle name with an "R" (like on of the grandmothers.)

Now remember I said I didn't think I was going to have any more children, well after I had Lydia Grace, all I could think was she has to have a sister. Now it was mentioned but no plans were made. Then I found out Christmas morning, we were pregnant.

Like I briefly mentioned at the top, my sisters are like no other. Now you know who I called at 5:00 am, Christmas morning, my sister. That was something I was going to have to ease into with David.

Anyway my SISTERS, we do everything together, I could not imagine how life would be without the greatest thing as a sister. You can tell your mom things and your cousin things, but it is still not the same as what you share with your sisters. I love it that my girls get to experience going to the Christmas show together, to the beach, their prom days, Oh my, their wedding days, all with each other. I love it that my girls share a room together, Lexi already starts to cry if Lydia Grace walks out of the room. She just yells out Ydia, Ydia, meer. My sisters and I will call each other 5-10 times a day, just to say hey do you know what is at target, or Something so funny we laugh so hard that we are crying, and no one else would even understand. I can call my sisters and be laughing so hard, that they will start laughing before we even know what the other in laughing at. Oh I could type for days about sisters. How we would lay in our beds talking all night, or making mud pies at granny's. My kids get to feel all of that, how lucky am I as a mom to get to have that.

Oh , my Lord has giving me something so wonderful, my parents, my sisters, a wonderful husband and now my children.
