Cutest Strawberry in the patch.......

We dressed Raylee up in her Halloween costume this weekend and took her picture. She didn't think to much of that! Next time we will have to plan it around nap time. As you will see in a couple of them she fell asleep. We had to take her inside and let her sleep awhile before we finished them.

We finally got a good one with her awake and her eyes open

My favorite picture. I love her little hands!

Is there a curse?

Is there a curse on the grandchildren of the Ingram clan? Louis was admitted to the hospital on Monday with the rotovirus. Morgan went to the doctor on Monday and has the beginning stages of pneumonia and Raylee puked ALL over me tonight and feels like she has fever. Watch out Madison.....your next!

Surprise!!!!!!

We had a surprise baby shower for JoBeth tonight. It wasn't your average baby shower. It was held at McAlister's and the theme was John Deere. She wouldn't let me do a regular shower because this is her second baby so I went behind her back I planned this one without her permission! Ha! She was really surprised and we all had a great time!

We are so happy for yall and can not wait for baby Andy to get here!

Tubes.......

Raylee finally got tubes on Friday. Everything went great and she is doing fine! She has found her another boyfriend..... She fell in love with the anaesthesiologist. We have already seen a major change in her. She is a much happier baby!

She was getting a little hungry at this point

Chilling out before they took her back
Look how sweet! Look at how she is looking at him and holding his hand!

She feels SO bad! Little did she know that things were fixing to change!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers!

The Pumpkin Patch

We had a ROUGH, ROUGH, ROUGH weekend. Raylee did not want to cooperate AT ALL! I have never been so glad to go back to work in my life! She worked my nerves good! We took her to her first pumpkin patch on Saturday and it all went down hill from there. I wont get into the details but she did have a good time at the pumpkin patch. She screamed most of the time. It was awful! I'm starting to wonder if we are ever going to be able to take her anywhere. We got home about 5:30 and she screamed from then until 9:30. It was awful. I know she feels bad and all but dang! It is the weirdest thing bc she will be fussy and will not take a nap but will sleep all night anywhere from 8 to 10 hrs. Sunday she cried just about all day. We were in major cleaning mode but one of us had to be holding her all the time. We would rock her and she would be a sleep, snoring but the minute we put her down those big brown eyes would pop open and she would go to crying. We had to go to the grocery store. I hated to but dropped her off at my sisters. She was a perfect angel....go figure. My best friend Adria kept her Monday after her dr's appointment so Billy & I could go back to work and not have to take her all the way back to Puckett for daycare and she was a complete angel for her. We were getting ready to leave Adria's house and she asked Raylee.....Are you ready to go home w/mommy? She busted out crying & screaming. I seriously think the kid hates me!

Anyway, the good news is we have to be at the surgical center on Friday at 6:30 a.m. for Raylee to get tubes! Friday can not get her quick enough.......and that's all I have to say about that! Everyone is telling me that come Friday about 9:00 she will be a totally different child. For the sake of my nerves and my hair color lets just hope yall are right!

Pictures from the Pumpkin Patch

The perfect little pumpkin
This is when it all started going down This was taken before we left for the pumpkin patch. She is all happy. Maybe she thought we were going to the buffet!
She was way to happy this morning.

Even though her dawgs lost this weekend She still sported her team spirit on Sunday!
She's not at all interested in taking pictures
So I'm guessing by now yall can figure out that she didn't really enjoy the pumpkin patch. She was sitting in between the pumpkins and proceeded to throw a fit and fell out on the pumpkins. I think we have a drama queen on our hands folks! I'm not sure if she gets it from her Gamma or i jinxed her by putting the sign "the queen has arrived" in her bassinet in the hospital?
Before we found out she will be getting tubes on Friday I wanted to take her back to the pumpkin patch to try to get some more pics but I think we are going to wait until next year. If she is feeling ok we might try to take our fall pictures this weekend. It will be all up to her and her mood. As we are learning......It's her world and we are just living in it!

Relief is on the way.......

Raylee has had a rough week. We went Monday for a follow up appointment for her ears. She finished another antibiotic and Dr. Rogers wanted to check to make sure that the infection was gone. We were shocked to find out that the Right ear is still really infected (this is the same ear infection that she has had since she was 3 weeks old but the left ear has healed). He gave her another antibiotic and wanted to check her on the 24th.

We brought her home and she was SO happy. She was cooing, laughing and smiling so much, they most I have ever seen her. We took her in her room and sat in her floor and played with her and her toys. She loved it. All of a sudden she started getting fussy and screaming. I took her in the living room and started rocking her and saw that her right ear was draining a lot. I didn't know if I should be concerned or not so I called the drs office who instructed us to take her UMC ER bc they think her ear drum has ruptured. So we did and you can imagine our experience. We sat and waited and waited to be told that her ear canal was so full of fluid that they could not tell if it had ruptured or not and referred us back to Dr. Rogers. I had a feeling that nothing would be accomplished by our ER visit but would have regretted it if something happened and I went against their advise and not have taken her. So things went from bad to worse.

Yesterday she only ate 12oz in a 24 hr period and was screaming when she was awake. It was so sad bc she would suck two times and then stop and scream. At one point she was sucking on her fist like she was starving to death. She finally gave it up and went to sleep. The daycare called this morning to say that her temp was 101 and she was screaming hysterically and would not stop. Billy left work and went and got her and we went back to the dr and she got a roseffin shot and has to go back tomorrow and Friday morning for another shot. We found out today that we go the the ENT on Monday at 8:45! Hopefully she will get some relief soon. Mommy & Daddy need some relief as well.......

It's been a while......

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. The computer has been broke but is now back up and ready for business! Since it has been awhile since I have posted this is going to be a long one....sorry! Gamma informed me last night that she was tired of looking at the same ole pics and I needed to hurry up and post some new ones. This one is for you Gamma!

Louis taking a break from all of the hard work! Grand-Bob can really work a brother to the bone!

Bubba & Louis. Louis had a blast playing with the boys all day!
Her 1st picture on the tractor
Cutest witch I've ever seen. Thanks Julie for the hat!

Aunt Emily says....It's not all about the kids this year...ha!

That balloon is tilting a little bit don't ya think! Morgan looks like they are fixing to turn over!
Last year she was the baby of the family and was riding around in the car seat. She got a little tired of walking and tried to reclaim that title this year.
Raylee is in her bed looking up and her mobile smiling. She LOVES it! Thanks Gamma!
Look at this picture...Doesn't she look cute and sweet? I bet you would have never guess that 30 minutes prior to taking this picture she pitched the BIGGEST fit that she has ever pitched. She had a COMPLETE meltdown in Hancock Fabrics. It was so bad we had to leave and I took her home and couldn't finish my errands. I cried all the way back to Puckett. I went over to my parents and as you can see when we got over there she was happy as pie! Sometimes I really think she hates me.
Daddy & his little monster
Hanging out before the fair
She looked upset bc everyone else was eating McDonald's and she couldn't have any. To make up for it Gamma bought her a happy meal barbie!
She did NOT enjoy the fair
But Madison & Louis did!
Morgan really doesn't want to take her medicine does she? Maybe she didn't get the memo that laying face down on the floor doesn't make you invisible...ha!

Sacked out after playing hard at Gammas. We played the whole time daddy was out of town.
How does this work? He was out of town all weekend and I had to rassell with her by myself,well I have to admit I spent the night with my parents on Saturday night to get some help with her but I almost made it that whole weekend by myself, but he gets to take the Sunday afternoon nap while I am cleaning. I am learning that mommies never get to rest.
Yep, she is a Reed. She LOVES Billy O'Reilly and Fox News. She can be fussy and you can change it to that channel and she stops fussing and will watch the t.v.
My happy little BOO!
