Look at my Sandbox!!!

Brigg built Raylin a sandbox Saturday. It is not quite finished, but it looks really good. He built a little seat around the edge. He still has to sand it and put a liner and SAND in it. Raylin watched him for a little while. She loved the noise of the saw even though she was not feeling well on Saturday. She has actually not been her normal happy self since Thursday. I can't figure out what is wrong. She has a runny nose, but no other symptoms. I think she may be getting some of her back teeth in, but she was never this unhappy when her other teeth were coming through. It has been a challenging last couple of days so I am praying that this week is much better.

Playing at the Renaissance!!!

Friday Andrea, Hank, Raylin and I went to the Renaissance. We met Angie for lunch at Peppers. It was so much fun that we decided to go back that night. Julz and Pops came to see Raylin so we all went to eat at Captain's Catch and then went to walk around the Renaissance again. Here are a few pictures from the night.

Julz and Pops with Raylin at Captain's Catch. We had never been here and it was so good. You must definitely try the bread pudding when you go.

Raylin had a great time riding on her daddy's shoulders!

This was a little trampoline outside the toy store. She wasn't too sure about jumping, but she loved the strings that were attached to it!

I know it looks like we let Raylin play in fire, but
this is one of the small fountains at the Renaissance. She loved getting wet!

Beau's Bubbles Birthday Party!!!

Yesterday, we went to Beau's 2nd Birthday party. It was so much fun! There were bubbles, balloons, blowpops and a space jump. All of the kids had a blast and so did the adults.

Beautiful cake by Dream Cakes...

Raylin and Camp "just a swingin"!!!

Raylin playing in the bubbles with the boys - Garrett, Camp and Hank!

After everyone had left the party except us and the Segrest family, Renee and I decided to play in the space jump with Mary Bratton, Anna Claire and Raylin. So sad MK couldn't play. She was lounging with a hurt knee. Mary Bratton and Anna Claire took turns sliding down the slide holding Raylin. They were so sweet to her! These are a few pictures I took at the "after party"!


Nea Nea and Mary Bratton sliding... (Notice Renee that I cropped this picture just for you!)

After this picture was taken, Mary Bratton kept holding Raylin and was singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to her. Raylin was singing along in her own language. It was so sweet! We love you Mary Bratton!

Renee sliding on her stomach! She decided real quick not to try that again! :)

Jumping in the space jump with the girls... Notice the smiles on our faces. We had so much fun! Thanks to the Guest's for a wonderful party!

Eli's Tee Ball Game

Yesterday, we went to Eli's ball game. We had so much fun!

Batter Eli in action!

Raylin and Daddy watching the ballgame!

Gramp and Raylin - She threw a fit in Wal-Mart for this softball that she is holding and we gave in and bought it. Of course it was only 88 cents. As long as she likes cheap toys, she can continue to go to Wal-Mart, but when she starts going for the pricey ones, she is going to have to stay home with her daddy! :)

Raylin and Elle Elise

Playing at McDonald's!

Monday night, we went to McDonald's with Julz, Pops, Gabe, Neely and Aunt Cambre. We had a great time! We ate a little and played alot! This was Raylin's first time to play at McDonald's so she wasn't too sure about it as you can see by her face in these pictures. I think she liked the sliding, but she did not like all of the tunnels you had to crawl through to get to the slide. But Gabe loved every minute of it and Neely slept the whole time.

Gabe loved sliding!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULZ!!!

Today is Julz' birthday. We hope you have a wonderful day. We love you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

PIctures from the weekend...

We went to Seminary Saturday for the wedding of Brigg's cousin, Brittany. It was a beautiful wedding and we had lots of fun. These are a few pictures I took after the wedding. Gabe and Raylin matched and Cambre and I didn't even plan it. :)


Raylin and Gabe... Isn't it so sweet how Gabe is looking at her and holding her hand?

This is Brigg's dog Apollo that lives with his parents.

This is sweet baby Neely. She is such a good baby and so beautiful!

Look at all my teeth!!!

I got this picture of Raylin off Ginger's blog. She took this Wednesday night and I just had to post it too. I love that big sweet smile and you can see almost all of her teeth!

Cheap Entertainment!!!

I was letting Raylin play in her room this morning for "room time" and when I went to check on her, this is where I found her. She had crawled in her closet, emptied the dirty clothes, and crawled in the laundry basket. She was laughing and having a good time! I don't know why she has so many toys. She would much rather play in clothes or with the empty diaper box than all of her toys. I love cheap entertainment :)!!!

Seeing Neely for the first time!

We went to the airport last night to pick up Cambre and Neely. They were supposed to be here at 4:00 yesterday afternoon, but their flight was cancelled and then they flew standby on a later flight. They finally got here about 9:00 last night. Gabe was so excited to see his mommy and sister. This is the only picture I got of Neely, so I will get more this weekend. She is so pretty. Raylin just loved her. She would kiss her head and then just laugh. It was so sweet.

Raylin kissing Neely! Precious!!!

Gabe giving Raylin a hug! So sweet!!!

Dinner with Friends

Wednesday night we went over to the McKenzie's for dinner. We had so much fun. Raylin loves to play with Baker. She loves all of his boy toys, like firetrucks (Baker's favorite) and tractors. Thanks Danny and Ginger for having us over. Dinner was great, especially the Oreo pie, and we had a wonderful time.

Baker and Raylin

I love this picture of Baker. He is so cute!

Raylin loved Baker's fireman hat.

And this bulldog...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIGG!!!

We love you so much! Thank you for being the best husband and daddy!

Raylin's first fish!!!

Today we went fishing with Brigg. Raylin loved it out on the water. She liked to watch the boat motor splash up the water. It was a little cool, but she had fun. She caught her first fish with her daddy's help. It was a big one too!

Catching the big fish with daddy

She wanted to touch the fish. She kept trying to poke his eyes out. Look how proud daddy is during this moment!

I just love this picture. This is definitely a Miss Priss even while she is fishing. I love that she has her feet crossed like a little lady!
