Payton Mackenzie Parrish

Dear Payton Mackenzie,

We are excited to announce the birth of our daughter, Payton Mackenzie Parrish. Born July 15, 2013, at Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion, Ill., at 3:15 a.m., Payton weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 21.5 inches long. She has two big brothers, Braden Mezo (16) and Gage Parrish (14).

Payton is the eighth grandchild for Bonnie and Avery Mouser of McClure, Ill. She is the second grandchild for her maternal grandfather, Ken Hill of Elkville, Ill. Paternal grandmother, Nancy Hutchings of Fruitland now has seven grandchildren with the addition of Payton. For paternal grandpa, Clifford Parrish and his wife Betty of Jackson, Payton makes grandbaby number 11 to go along with four great-grandkids. Cindy Pierce of Elkville is Payton's honorary grandmother.

We are thankful for all the support from our family and friends, and pray God bless them all as he has blessed us.
