Rayelee Update

Rayelee can say dada, mama, dog, and kk. One top tooth broke through the other three are about to. Today she stood with her walking toy, which caught me off guard! She loves finding shoes and pulling them around. She seems to always find the trash can in her walker. She loves all the animals. When she wakes up in the morning she doesn't cry, she plays with her nigh-nigh toys. She crawls eveywhere! she knows what "no" means. She will be 9 months on 4th of July! 

Babysitting Adventures!

* There will be two post today, to make up for yesterday.

I am currently watching my SIL (sister in-law) children for the remaining of firework season. She has four children. David is 8, Jazzy is 4, Nate is 3 and Aireona is 8 months. I am also watching another little boy named Shawn who is 4, but he doesn't start until next week. I absolutly LOVE watching children.

Monday, we had lunch, story time, naptime, snack, coloring and then we decided to go to the park. The 3 girls went all in the wagon and David pushed Nate in a stroller. We get 3/4's of the way there and I discover BOTH my back tires to the wagon are pretty much flat. So, I tell them we have to turn around air up the tires, then we will come back. We get back to my house, for me to realize that Robert has the air compressor in the back of his Jeep. By this time Robert is at work. The kids were a little let down, but they understood. So we came back inside had so free time to play. Then at 8:00pm I had them lay down to calm down until their mom got here at 10:00pm.

Tuesday, was the same as Monday, except we went to the park. Which of course I snapped a few pictures for the blog. They had fun and played pirates. I am guessing pirates are a big thing now, I keep seeing kids playing and dressing up like pirates more and more every year! They were wore out when we came back. They colored while the babies slept. Free time then laid down once again.

I love ALL 14 of my nieces and nephews, yes i said 14!

Sal, Emmett, Taj, Cassie, Calvin, Lydia, Knox, Dillon, Hannah, Parker, David, Jazzy, Nate and AIreona!

I am truly blessed with such a big family :)

Saturday, we attended a birthday party for one of our friends' children. They had a group party for all of them! Such a neat idea!

Sunday, Rayelee went to her me-maw's. Mommy and Daddy went trail riding at Interlake in Lynnville, Indiana. Here are some pictures!



We had a great time. I even drove the Jeep on few trails :)



Rayelee Crawled!

She did it, finally!

Everyone has been on my case about why Rayelee has not crawled. I do not push her to do things she simply is not ready to do. She will do everything on her own time. I am so happy for her though! We will be ordering her baby crawling knee pads, since all we have is hard floors! Looks like this momma just got busier!

I Miss Having Friends

I miss it, so much! I miss the last minute get together's. The camping trips, swimming spots, the ice cream dates, the picture taking days, the talks by the river, etc. Most importantly I miss the laughter and just the friendship, in general. I really do not know what happened. I had Rayelee and everyone has slowly disappeared!

This is just some of my friends I have more photos but they are on my laptop, which is not working right now. I wish my friends would want to hang out with me I guess. I hate bothering everyone because everyone has different things going on right now. I just wish I wouldn't have to try to get people to come over or go to the park or whatever. I am not saying I need to be with my friends every week but if you can't send me a text at least ONCE a month, I feel like maybe we shouldn't be friends.

To me a friend is someone you can depend on, much like a sister or brother. Someone that checks in to see how your life is going, supports your choices you make, and is trustworthy/loyal to you. Someone who will tell you if you really do look good in that dress. Someone who will tell you if you are doing the wrong thing. Someone who is willing to give you advice or even ask for your advice. Someone who is willing to give a shoulder to cry on. So on and so forth.

I am not saying in anyway that my friends suck. I just miss them. So if you are my friend and you are reading this, how about we get together soon? If we are not friends and you would like to be, I would be more than happy to be your friend even if I am just your internet friend :)



If I won the lottery.....

If I won the lottery, what would I do with it?

1. I would build my dream house in Tennessee.
2. I would put away at least half a million for Rayelee's future.
3. I would build a cat shelter.
4. I would donate to trusted charities.
5. I would go buy me some clothes that actually fit.

Any money that I had left I would put in a CD at some banks.  If you would have asked me this when I was 18, I would have probably said some crazy things. Its so weird how fast we really do grow up and mature. Without Rayelee I would most likely be going out and acting my age (20) every night. This has been on my mind lately and I have wanted to write it down just have not had the chance until now.

If you won the lottery what are the top five things you would do?

Get to know me

I am 20 year old wife and mother. I married my husband, Robert, October 10, 2010. We got the news that we were expecting in February 2011. I had two prior miscarriages. We bought our first house at the young ages of 19 and 20 in April 2011. Rayelee arrived in October on the fourth of 2011. She was born healthy! We did struggle with acid reflux and still do to this day. She is a healthy eater. Don't judge me for my parenting choices and I won't judge yours. You should also know I suck at grammar and spelling because Indiana decided not to teach me that anymore after the fourth grade. I love animals way more than I probably should. I have three dogs: BB, Molly and Decker. I also have two cats, Mocha and Mittens. Mocha will be leaving us soon to go live with one of my friends. My favorite colors are purple and green. My favorite number is 3. My favorite food is anything sweet. I am on a diet right now, trying to lose thirty pounds before my brother gets back from basic. We placed a bet between each other.  I have three sisters and one brother. Mandi, Marri, Michele and Cody respectively.
