The newest addition to the Reed family....

Billy & I have been talking for a while about getting Raylee a horse. She LOVES to be outside and LOVES any kind of animal! There are several 4-H programs out here and we want her to be involved in something positive to fill her time when she gets older. I know that she is only 2 yrs old but we wanted to get her a little horse to ride and play with to get her use to them and to learn the dynamics. They have little rodeos in Puckett & Mendenhall that we are going to put her in when she gets comfortable with him. They seem to be a lot like adult rodeos but Billy or I can walk out with her and lead the horse around the arena.

Since we kind of stumbled across him and were not fully prepared to have him at our house yet he is staying at my brothers, hopefully they wont get to attached to him! I cant wait to go out there this weekend and spend some time with him! We will start our fence this week and decide what kind of barn we are going to build. I am so excited and cant wait to get him home!! He is a 3 year old miniature horse and I just LOVE his color!!!!!

Meet Lil' Man

Raylee Meeting Lil Man for the 1st time

She LOVES him!!! I wish I was able to take more pictures than this but this was the one I was able to take because the flash startled him. Oh boy does he have a lot to learn!!!

She got to pet, feed & ride him. She is just smitten with him! She called him Lil' Man a few times but then started calling him "Lucy", not sure why but it has stuck! Now I have started calling him Lucy. The old owner texted me today and she even referred to him as Lucy. Hopefully Raylee will change her mind and call him something else!!!!

Why Raylee is an only child.....

At least once a week I get the question "when are yall going to have another baby?" I tell people that Raylee will probably be an only child because she is such a handful and they laugh. They cant believe some of the stories that I tell about Raylee, as if I make them up, but by accident I caught proof on camera!

Raylee was showing her brother, Bailey, a little sibling love....RIGHT??????

WRONG!!!!!

These poor dogs are the best dogs that we could ask for! They take a beating....daily.....and still love her to death and come back for more.

For that, we are blessed!!!!

Pumpkin Patch Track Record....

10/2008

Her 1st Pumpkin Patch Visit

As you can tell things didn't go to well. She was wearing the cuties little Halloween outfit that I had bought her. Right as we were getting ready to get on the hay ride to go get our pumpkins

she pooped and it went EVERYWHERE and she had to be changed. Everything went down hill from there!

10/2009

We went on a Sunday after church. We stopped and got us some lunch on the way & while we were eating she pooped and it was literally DRIPPING from her high chair. TMI, I know. Just my luck I didn't bring her an extra set of clothes so off to the Dollar General we went!!!

I was so nervous about taking her to the pumpkin patch this year. On the way out the door I told Billy to make sure that he grab a COUPLE of extra outfits because of her track record! I guess all of my worrying paid off because she did GREAT!!!! She loved it and had such a good time!!!

There will be more pics to come!!!!
