Weekend

It is the weekend around here. We are going to try to be outside to enjoy the day. I am happy to report that I figured out how to charge my camera without the piece that was missing. Very nice to be able to take decent pictures, and not have to use the cell phone. On to some pictures.

                                         After getting the laundry done, Brinn ended up in the basket.

So then, of course, Raylee wanted in the basket.

You know where this is going, right?

She was fine. Here she is last night, dancing in my boots.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

The Difference a Year Makes...

This is a picture of Raylee around this time last year that I posted on the blog.

This was yesterday....

Different thing on her head, same silly girl in there. She loves to put things on her head. Her favorite are Brinn's blankets. She wants Mama, her, & "Sissy" to all be under the blanket. It's a fun & silly game.

It is Friday again. Paul has to work tomorrow, but on Sunday we are planning on getting the girls pictures taken with Santa. Hoping for a good picture!

Have a great weekend.

Weekend Recap

This weekend was not too exciting. Paul had to work all day Saturday, and I had a headache all day, so the girls & I stayed in and kept warm. We are hoping that Paul's schedule slows down some, but are thankful for the work. Here is a picture I took of the girls hanging out. They really are sweet together. :)

Then on Sunday, Paul was home so we cooked a lot & got some stuff done around the house. We also watched the Texans clinch a playoff spot for the 1st time in franchise history by winning the game in the final seconds. To say we were excited would be an understatement. Both girls were taking naps, so we were quietly jumping up and down! I look horrible in this picture, but had to document how happy we were. 

GO TEXANS!

Today I took Brinn to the Doctor for her 4 month check up. She did very well with her shots, and was done crying by the time we left the Dr.'s office. She was 13.1 lbs. & 24 in. long, which is the 50th% for both. So happy that she is doing so well. We love our Brinn girl!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Cell Phone Picture Dump

Happy Friday! Paul has to work 10 hours tomorrow, so it is not much of a weekend for us. He is working the next 3 Saturdays, but will be off a while for Christmas. I took a few pictures on my cell phone that I had been wanting to put on here. They are a random assortment. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Friday & Tummy Time!

Happy Friday everyone! It has really cooled down here, and we are looking forward to the weekend. Here is a picture of the girls I took yesterday.

Tonight Raylee is staying w/ her Granna & PawPaw. Here are a couple pictures of her,  before I fixed her hair.

So Brinn I are spending some time together until Paul gets off. Here are some pictures of us, and some showing Brinn's progress with tummy time.

Picking it up!

& she's spent!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!



Good News!

We found out yesterday that we got the place that we wanted. It is 3 bedroom/2 bath with a big covered porch, and a small fenced in yard, that will be perfect for the girls to play. It is only about 15 min. from where we are now, but the location is so much better. It is closer to my mom, and definately in our budget. I can not wait to get moved. Raylee is at her Granna's today, so I will leave w/ a picture of the other cutest girl in the world. Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Friday Randoms

We made it to the end of the week. We found out we did not get the house we were looking at, so we are still looking. The Dr.'s appointments went well for Raylee & I. I got glasses & contact lens prescription, and am working on getting some new lenses. As you can see, they are needed.

Raylee's #1 word for the past few weeks is "car." She says it at least 500 times a day! She always wants to go in the "caaar." Not nearly as easy when there is a newborn in the house.

Brinn is doing well, although she is not a fan of being cold. Most baths end like this. :(

She likes to be wrapped up tight like this:

Yesterday, Raylee went to the Dr. for her 18 month check up. At 19 months she is 29.5 lbs (95%) & 34 inches (100%). She got 2 shots, but was so tough, and was done crying by the time we left the Dr.s office. I think the necklace, and 3 kitty stickers helped. Here are some pictures from the waiting room.

& finally, here is a little video of Brinn just being cute. <3

Have a good weekend!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! We just found out that Paul does not have to work tomorrow, and he gets off today at 3! He was supposed to be working til 6 today and 3 tomorrow, so it was a great surprise. He could definitely use the time off. Raylee is also staying with her Granna & PawPaw tonight, and we will both get to pick her up tomorrow!

   I do not have many pictures except for a few I took on my cell phone that I thought I would share.

Getting some snuggles from Brinn

This was my attempt to get a smile. She has just started smiling more, and trying to talk, with a few little sounds actually coming out. It really is the cutest thing.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Friday Randomness

It is Friday! Although Paul has to work tomorrow because of a rain out earlier this week, Raylee is staying with my Mom tonight. Paul and I have a date to go eat, spend some gift cards, and pre-register at the hospital. Sounds exciting right?! Anyways I wanted to post some random things from around here.

      1st up is a picture of what our rainy day looked like earlier this week.

My two loves taking a nap:

Then on Thursday we took Raylee to the Doctor for a checkup. She weighed 28 lbs. 3 oz. and she was 34.5 inches tall. She had to get three shots, which were difficult, but she handled them so well. So proud of my tough girl.

& finally just wanted to share a deal I got a gap.com today. They ha a 3 HOUR sale that I had to take advantage of. I got the girls matching hoodie zip up sweaters. It was 40% off and free shipping so I ended up getting both of them for the price of 1! It will still be a while before they can wear them, but these are the best sweatshirts, and will look so cute!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!



Happy Friday & Nursery Before Pics.

Happy Friday everyone! We are excited about the weekend, as usual, and are looking forward to spending time together. We have a full week ahead of us next week with play dates, Dr's. appointments, and a trip to Abilene next week for my cousin's wedding. We will be laying low this weekend to get ready for all of that.

We are in full swing with working on the new nursery, and although there isn't much done yet, we are well on our way. Here are some before pictures to document the progress. It is a small room, but there is going to be a little person staying in there, so I think it will work out.

This is looking from the door. We already have new blinds, and a new curtain!

This is looking from the window. You can tell it's a small room, but I am excited about what we are going to do with it! 

This is my Mother's Day gift. It is the dresser that my mom and her sister used, and that my sister and I used. We are re-doing it for Raylee and her sister! :)

The Before

The During

The (almost) after. We still need to put the clear coat on it, and there is a mirror that we are re-doing as well. Those pictures will come later.

I will leave with a few pictures of Raylee. She is getting so big, and so smart. This week she learned how to climb on ALL the furniture, so it has been a challenge to watch her, and make sure she can get down. 

Can you just imagine the sound that goes with this picture?

Hope everyone has a great week!
