6month pics.....

Here are a few of our pic from our photo shoot with Shannon. I think that they turned out great and cant wait to do more! Hope yall enjoy!

Gamma's Request.....

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. We have been busy and on the go. After much badgering from Gamma I finally took a while to post pictures. It is so hard to believe that Raylee will be 7months old next week. I was looking at her pictures the day she was born and it is hard to believe that she is the same baby. Its like every morning when I go in there to get her out of bed a different child is in her crib. It was like I went in there one morning and she was replaced with the Michelin mans baby. I went in there Sunday to get her and all I saw was polka dots and big eyes. She was up on her hands and knees looking over the rail of her crib. I guess it is time to lower her mattress. Time flies......

Her 1st Valentines

Happy Monday!

Raylee showing off her tutu that I made her. She wasn't really sure about it at first. She kept touching it with this awful look on her face, I guess bc the material was rough. Finally it made it to her mouth and she realized that it was OK...ha!
Yay!

She loves banging her cup on her highchair. She gets lazy and doesn't really like to hold it by herself

Her favorite part of the day

Hope everyone has a great week and Happy Valentines Day!

The result of my mistake.....

I know....I'm a terrible mother :(

Mistakes of the day....

#1- I left my crackberry (blackberry) on the hood of Billy's car. It fell off in the middle of the road. Some jack a$$ took the cute zebra cover off, threw it in the middle of the road and took the phone. I'm not really that upset about loosing the phone, it can be replaced. I just don't have anyones telephone number bc they were all stored in my phone so please email your telephone numbers (home and cell) to KimberlyIReed@Bellsouth.net.

#2-We have a good friend who is just starting her photography business. We went to the park to take pictures. I was trying to pose raylee in a cute little pose by a tree but she wasn't having it. She was throwing a fit and little did I know that the pine straw I had sat her in had a fire ant bed in it. YES! She was ate up with ants...literally.....she has about 50 ant bites on her fat little legs. SO sad. I am traumatised. Any one know a social worker???? Call DHS! Maybe I need parenting classes. I guess I am out of the running for mother of the year?

That is about all of the excitement I can take for one day......

Frustration.....

Billy finally got him a new little car this weekend to drive back and forth to work. He still has his F-150 but it drinks gas like you wouldn't believe. Since he drives almost 100 miles a day he needed something that gets good gas mileage.

So far he likes it and it better remain that way. This car caused more heart ache and frustration than my 3 yrs of graduate school at Jackson State.

I wont get into the whole ordeal bc I'm sure you don't have all day. We found the car Wednesday night and went back Thursday to make our final offer and sign papers. We ended up leaving Thursday night with the papers UNSIGNED and irate. The finance man THOUGHT we were some young stupid kids and added the extended warranty in with the price of the car and extended the payments 6 months. When we questioned it he told us that since the economy was so bad that the bank we were financing through was GIVING us the extended warranty for FREE bc they knew if the car broke we would fix the car instead of paying the note that month. B*&^LS%!T nothing is FREE!!!! Anyway we kept questioning him and finally billy said.....I'm not doing this.....something isn't right, so we got up and left.

The Salesman called Billy Friday evening with a great price that we really wanted but we couldn't get past what had happened the night before. So we looked a couple of other places and drove a few more cars but none of them compared to the 1st one we found. So we sucked it up and called the salesman back Saturday morning and asked if the offer still stood. Of course it did so we went back up there. The only finance man that was there was the one that we dealt with
Thursday so the general manager ended up doing the paper work. We were VERY surprised to learn that the manager knocked another $1500 off the price of the car and lowered our interest rate bc of the trouble we had.

Another thing that man lied about was our interest rate....he told us it was a point lower than it actually was.....how does he sleep at night????

I will have to say that all of the frustration was well worth it. I LOVE this car! It drives so good. I drove Natalie's CRV Thursday and I seriously want to trade my trailblazer in for one.

This & That......

Over the last couple of weeks we have really enjoyed playing with Raylee. She is FINALLY feeling better and loves to play. we put her in the middle of the floor on a blanket and she just rolls from one end to the other. A couple of times she has gotten up on her knees and she scares her self and falls. We haven't really done much. Just hanging out around the house procrastinating putting up all of her toys from Christmas. Ugh.....I think we need a bigger house...ha! Just kidding Billy!!!!

Mommy sure looks tired!!!!! Thats because Raylee woke up at 3:00 a.m. last Monday morning and didn't go back to bed until it was time for Mommy and Daddy to get up and go to work. Not sure what all that was about. She hasn't done that since.

She still loves bath time!!!!
Always on the go....

She loves her toy Daddy gave her for Christmas

I made "Elmo" cupcakes for Morgan to take to daycare for her birthday!

She looks so grown up in these next couple of pics........

This is an example of the big grin I get when I wake her up in the morning

She's looking a little violated here.....

Chillin

Its feeding time at the zoo!

Born a Bulldog......

Billy took his girls (Raylee, Mamaw and myself) out Saturday night for a night out on the town.....to Logans and dogwood! Notice the Budlight sign behind Mamaws head.....priceless.....ha! Don't worry.....she contained herself....it was hard but we kept her in line!

Billy had to work Saturday so me and Raylee hung out with Mamaw. Ralyee LOVES her some Mamaw!!!!

Cute or what?
