The Biggest Sister

I tell Payton very often that God gave her a special job.  He made her the biggest sister in our little family of 6.  She not only has to help watch over and protect her little sisters and big brother, but she also has to set a good example.  She does such a good job of it too.  Tonight, before bath time, we were playing a game of  Jack Be Nimble.  And yes, Addi had decided that jumping over a candle stick (which was a soccer cone) was much easier to do without pants and a shirt on. =)  She decided to move the candle stick and Evan accidentally stepped on her finger.  While I was trying to make sure that her little finger wasn't broken, Payton ran into the kitchen and made an ice pack.  I love how the girls are looking into each other's eyes here.  So much is being said, without any words.

Payton is always saying that she wants to be a nurse like Aunt Becky. It makes me smile, because Aunt Becky is the biggest sister in my family.  I see SO much of my sister in Payton.  And what's even better is, they are both pretty crazy about each other too.   Payton loves her baby sister Karsyn.  It's written all over her face....

After taking care of Addi and loving on Karsyn, Payton showed off yet another side of herself...the side that never backs down. Here she is doing a little Jedi fighting with Evan.

I am so proud of my Payton every day. She is beautiful, smart, funny, creative - God made her one special little girl. I am so blessed to be her mommy.
