Scrapper Prom

Saturday night was the prom in Nashville. Daniel took Lyn Nguyen - they were a sweet little couple. My little "Dannul" is growing up!

Rylee Grace is 6 months Old!

Rylee Grace turned 6 months old this past Sunday and bless her heart, she spent the whole weekend with a nasty cold and low-grade fever. I took off Friday to take her to the dr and he concluded she had a "nasty cold". We had 6 month shots scheduled for Monday at 9:00 and her doctor said she would be fine to have her shots as scheduled. We showed up Monday, she had her shots and screamed and cried and hurt her mamma's feelings real bad. :( We were at home that afternoon and when I woke her up after her nap around 4:00, she was burning up. I took her temp and it was over 103 degrees - she just laid there and would "play" like she normally does and could barely keep her eyes open. Scared to death, I called the pediatrician's office, was on hold for 20 minutes just to be told that everyone had left for the day. Sooooooo - I dashed off to Howard Memorial Hospital! It was our first trip to the ER and her young little life and I'm here to tell ya - I counted my blessings that I normally have a healthy baby. If I had to go thru drawing blood, x-rays, etc, on a daily basis with such a sweet innocent baby, it would hurt my heart! Luckily - her fever came down and we went home - unsure of what was causing her fever to go up, other than a possible virus of some kind or reaction to her shots.

After I realized everything was fine, I realized how I was dressed - in Roy's gray athletic shorts that hang down to my knees, a wife-beater and my flip flops. Roy said I looked like something straight out of Mineral Springs! LOL (Only Roy) I promised the lady in the x-ray room that we were not white trash - I was just happy in the comfort of my own home cleaning house when I had to make a mad dash to the ER. I guess from now on, I'll clean house in my Sunday finest! No - I won't!

PS - Thanks to John and Marcia for coming and sitting with us during that scary scary time! BecBec and Nan were in Arkadelphia at Colin's baseball game and couldn't be there so John and Marcia sat in for them. It was a relief to see somebody there!

........And Zach says he hit TWO homeruns! We missed his game and we're so sorry - maybe he'll show out again at another game!

Um Um Good!

Rylee's Bec Bec could not wait to give her something other than baby food. I baulked on the ice cream, for fear of tummy hurts, so she settled for this popsicle. Looks like she's enjoying it!

Rylee's new cousin, Gracie

This is Rylee's new cousin, Gracie. She was born about 2 weeks after Rylee Grace. They were so funny......

Follow me here - this is my aunt Lillian Aylett's great-granddaughter. Her daughter Brenda's son Clark's youngest little girl. The rest of the gang (Lindsey, and her son Briley and Clark's other daughter Maddison, Richard and Brenda) were also there, but they were not much interested in anything but what was going on outside!

Happy (Belated) Easter!

Rylee's First Easter

You can see what she was more interested in....eating the basket and the eggs........

and Daniel's tie!

(Justin and Daniel are such handsome boys!)

And Rylee with her "Nan"

It's been a while!

It's been a week or so since my last post.....I've heard grumblings from certain people about it! We've been having fun! Last week was Spring Break and Brittany and Zach spent the week with us. Roy's transmission went out in his truck so he spent the week at home with Brittany and Zach with nowhere to go, except to the shop! :) He finally gave in on Thursday and bought another truck. We traded my car for a truck and a trailblazer (with 3 rows of seats, praise the Lord)! After traveling to the jonquil festival with 2 kids in one seat belt, we decided we needed more seating in a vehicle! We are enjoying both, but we'll be eating bologna sandwiches for the next three years! Don't know if it'll be worth it, or not! But you never know till you just suck it up and do it!

Brittany and Rylee enjoyed playing in the floor for most of the week........

Sweet kiddos! Rylee loves when Brittany and Zach are with us!

Rylee Grace got to meet Malley this week. At first, Rylee was real excited, but then......

Malley got a little too close for comfort! :)

When your dad's a coach, you have to practice more than most kids and you have to get closer to perfection than most kids.......poor Zach. But - he loves him some baseball!

Rylee Grace is 5 months old!

Rylee was 5 months old yesterday! We celebrated by attending the Track Meet at Nashville! :) She was so good. She just sits and watches everybody. Never cried.

She's such a sweet baby and we enjoy every minute with her!

"Pre-Easter" Easter Egg Hunt

We had a "Pre-Easter" Easter Egg Hunt yesterday at Momo Frances's house. I hid eggs for Chloe, Brittany and Zach. Zach was pretty excited that he found the most eggs. Chloe was pretty upset that Zach found the most eggs! HA! (You can see the disgust in her face as she looks once again at her number of eggs in the top picture with all three kids).

Chloe forcing herself to be still for a picture! Precious!

The Jonquil Festival

This weekend, we went to the Jonquil Festival at Old Washington. This was actually our first outing as an entire family and we had a ball! Brittany took a friend with her and Roy said we looked like the Brady Bunch walking in. HA! Rylee Grace slept thru the entire thing. I wanted to get pictures of all three kids in the jonquils, but Rylee had other things on her mind! We also had intentions of going from the Jonquil Festival to Colin's baseball game, but they moved his game up and we missed it. Hopefully we'll be able to catch another one some other day! After we left the Jonquil Festival, we ate lunch in Hope and went to WalMart. The kids had their picture taken with the Easter Bunny! Rylee spit up on the poor Easter Bunny and I think it was running down the arm! UGH! The price you pay.......I'll have to post their picture when I get a chance to get to Hope to pick it up. It was pretty cute and definately comical!
