2011-04-26T06:41:00.000-07:00

This year was such a blast for easter...love when the kids get better and understand the reason for the season...we called it Jesus Day...I forgot my camera on saturday but rusty and i decided to take the kiddos to the lake and ride around on the boat...Rustin wanted to swim but he soon found out that it was way to cold to do that...for three hours we drove around letting the kids drive and just site seeing...even though i didn't feel very good it was the most fun have i had in awhile...

Sunday we got up and went to church for breakfast...then the kids got to hunt eggs...rustins basket was soooo full i don't really think he could fit anymore eggs into that thing even if he tried...after church we went to Grangrat and Mamaws house for lunch...it was soooo yummy...then after cleaning we let the kids go hunting in the yard...first time since i was little that we've acutally have gotten to do this...the kids had a blast...rustin would find the eggs...then go and hide them again...hes soooo funny...on the way home the kids crashed so fast...what a fun filled easter weekend...i hope everyone else had such a fun weekend as well...

telling abigail how to hunt eggs...

Our day was so crazy i am sad to say i didn't get a family picture...the only one i got was this one of rusty and i...

Hailee saying Hi to Raily...i just love this little girl to pieces...

getting ready to head outside and hunt some eggs...

we told her to put the eggs into the basket and she told us huh...then it dawned on us to tell her to put them in her purse...such a girl

I love this one...its like just one more momma...i can fit one more into there i know i can...

alll in a weekend

2011-04-04T09:33:00.000-07:00

man oh man did we choose to go into town on the wrong night...i had the best idea of going to ohannas and eating supper...when paying out it was sprinkling, my phone rings and its channel 13 telling me a sever storm was heading our way...rusty and i laughed our butts off cause it was just sprinkling...had some stuff to do in walmart again fixing to pay out and we hear it...pea size hail...so we decide to leave and go get a coke(yes my idea, love my tacovilla cokes) get to the gas station and boom golf ball size hail...really long story short our car was $100.00 from being totaled...its still in the shop and no end of when i will get it back...

so what better to make a bad weekend better then painting...i kind of freaked rustin out when the car was getting hit cause to be honest i have never had a car have hail damage since rusty and i have been married...so i was kind of screaming which upset rustin...to make it better i decided painting was the best soultion...raily got a butterfly magnet and rustin got a race car...

Friday Fun at the ZOO

2011-03-21T09:11:00.001-07:00

Mami called on Wednesday and had the idea of taking the kids to the Abilene Zoo on friday so when Friday came along they where so excited...Rustin keep asking every 5 minutes are we there to see the animals...finally we got there and he was sooooo excited..raily she just goes with the flow...we even got to take our cousin Paige along with us...she hadn't been to the zoo until she was 2 or something like that so her and rustin where so ready to get in and wanted to see everything..afterwards we went to the chilis and ate then went home...but not before detouring to Lamesa and see our sweet little Hailee...thanks for letting us go Mami we had such a blast...

Rustin looking at the Gator

and the gator was looking back at him

monkey see monkey do

raily loved the monkey i had such a hard time getting her away from this area

I love this young man(can't say little anymore hes growing up way to fast)

and this little girl is just pure rotteness(but i do love her)

it sure was hot so mami stopped and got them something to drink...i just loved there cups..raily got a pink flammingo and rustin got a giraffee cause that was his favorite out of all of them

My Mom is such a wonderful Mami...without her we would have been bored on friday

I just love my kiddos

i LOVE this picture of Paige..she is soooooo beautiful....

man this sucker had such a long tongue

she was interested in something

i thought this bird was sooooo ugly that its pretty

and rusty cracked me up on this one...he said one more turtle and it would have been the teenage mutan turtles...hahahaa

What to do on a nice day but...

2011-03-11T18:43:00.000-08:00

Then to eat STRAWBERRIES!!!!!oh man oh man how my kids love to eat those delicious, red, and juicy strawberries...raily didn't know what to think at first but then she went crazy with them...as you can tell on her shirt and face...now rustin he won't share the things and can eat the whole thing in less then 10 minutes..when i'm being a good mom i normally dip them in chocolate..

i absolutely love this picture...the strawberry and his nose have the same amount of freckles

and what better to play in the dirt with then with your baby...

and rustin loves to put all his toy in the wheel barrel and carry them from dirt pile to dirt pile..

All about Hailee

2011-03-04T07:36:00.001-08:00

This post is all about my sweet little niece...awhile back i wrote how she was in the hospital for 11 days and while in that time they found something wrong with her heart...well at 4 months old she had to have an angiogram done..now i'm just the aunt and i had a very tough time with this so i can't even imagine how her parents felt...but thanks to everyones prayers and concerns that i believe God was standing over this little girl the whole time...i'm so thankful for having this little girl in my life...if i could talk her parents into moving closer i could spoil her more but i know that won't happen..so everytime i see this sweet pea i just take her all in that i can...i can't believe how much 4 months have changed this little girl...she is soooooo happy and always smiling...even right before she had to go into surgery she was smiling and looking at everyone...read further down for the day of surgery with pictures...these pictures are from sunday when we got the chance to play with her before the had to go into the hospital and sign in...all i can say about these pictures are to just look at them and you will see the happy baby we see...

these pictures with her momma where the best...

i do believe she is going to have her daddys grin..where it goes to one side...love it

good family picture

i love this picture...can't say she doesn't have enough loving from her parents....

now for the day of surgery...this is the floor she was on...because she was on this floor none of us where allowed to see her or touch her besides her parents...so this made it extremly hard to do for me since all i wanted to do was giving her lots of hugs and kisses from aunt ranra so i waited patiencly by the door to see her...and i can honestly say when i saw her i broke down inside to see such a little angel having a major surgery...and also seeing her in that bed so tiny just broke my heart...but what a trooper she was...

shes in that bed u just have to look for her...

momma and daddy giving her kisses before she goes down...

she was looking at me saying "aunt ranra what are all these people looking at me for, i'll be ok"

here she is after surgery...and all they had to do was balloon it...NO OPEN HEART SURGERY for her...yeah there was that possiblity but again God was with her and knew she didn't need it...now we are on the path to recovery...i know this is longer then i normally write but this little girl needed a long blog from her aunt ranra...love you dearly hailee and you will always have a special place in my heart...

Brother and Sisterly Love

2011-02-20T16:39:00.001-08:00

This was such a fun shoot with the kiddos...thanks to nana for coming along to get the kids to look at me then going everywhere...don't get me wrong it was still a challenge...one time rustin would look at me then raily would look off...they are soooooo rotten...but they are so sweet together...you can tell they love each other dearly...every day when we pull up to get rustin she will start yelling "bud bud" then when she sees him, she gets all excited...then he gets in the car and shes mad at him...oh how i remeber those days with my brother...here are a few pictures that i liked the most from what i had...by the way i did NOT enhance railys eyes these are hers...makes it easier on me when they turn out this bright blue...best thing she could have gotten from momma...

Valentine Party at ABC

2011-02-11T11:37:00.000-08:00

Rustin had his first school valentine party today at ABC...he loved it cause, of course, there was alot of sugar involved...they got to play a fun game to help them learn their numbers and colors...raily want to play but she couldn't and boy was she sooooo mad...i love watching rustin enjoying this day and seeing that wonderful smile on his fave...this year i really didn't go all out for the kids and i felt really bad but the other mothers did an awesome job...i will know what to do next year...i hope i can teach him to enjoy valentines day and to spoil his girl when it comes to this time of year but i don't want that to happen for a very LONG time...for now hes mine and i will keep him until its time to share...heres some pictures to enjoy in their day...

checking out his goodies...

what he made to hang up in class..

his attitude in this one just cracks me up...

giving momma a kiss...i soooo love those...

9 years and counting

2011-01-26T07:56:00.000-08:00

Its funny how much 9 years can change...go from film to digital camera...have two amazing children..and did i mention the best out of these 9 years are..my husband...today we celebrate 9 wonderful years together...we have two amazing children who act just like their daddy but occassionally just like their momma...i couldn't ask for a better man for me then rusty...i have to be honest i didn't think we where going to make it that first year cause that was a big adjustment for me and him but we stuck through it and here we are today..i love when he comes home and the kids light up to see him and of course i do to...its funny to hear everyone remember the day we got married..."oh i remember how sick rusty was with food poisioning" or "oh poor rusty was soooo green" hahha forget how pretty everything was but they remember how sick he was...and yes he was very sick, in fact, we spent our honeymoon night in the ER but with a shot and some rest he was ready to leave on our honeymoon...now i can't wait to see what GOD has in store for the many more years to come with him...thank you Lord for giving me such a wonderful man to love all these years you knew exactually who i needed in my life...

the pictures are pictures in a picture...i don't have a scanner so i had to take them with my camera...

2011-01-20T14:59:00.000-08:00

Rustins 5th Birthday Party

2011-01-17T14:27:00.000-08:00

Rustin just celebrated his 5th birthday with a party...is actual birthday isn't until thursday but his party was so much fun...sorry guys theres not that much pictures on here but it takes my computer forever to download on here...so here is a few from that day...also rusty took pictures while i played in the water with the kids so sorry if there isn't any of your kiddos...but thanks to all who made his day so special he was soooooo worn out by the time we got to the house...hes loving all his new toys and so his is sister...they fight over whos going to play with the new toys...on thursday i plan on have a post all about this little boy and how much he has grown up so fast...thanks again everyone we had a blast

New Lense

2011-01-13T11:57:00.001-08:00

I finally got to order one of the lenses i've been wanting forever...i got a 50mm 1.8 which already i LOVE...now i just need to save up for the one and truly one i've been wanting since i started taking pictures...and that is a 24-70mm which is way out of my price line right now...anyways like i said loving the new lense...rustin not so much this day...he came home from school running a 101.7 fever so i took him to the dr and yeap he had the FLU...so when i wanted to take pictures of him he wasn't feeling up to it...poor guy..now raily she loves her picture been taken so i normally have more of her for that reason...

what a stinker...but how can you not love this little girl...rotten but shes my rotten little tooter...

then i had made her some shoes like this about 3 months ago but as soon as i made them she outgrew them...so finally i found the shoes on sale again and blinged it up along with placing the decals on the side...can't wait for her to wear her new styling shoes...

next week rustin will be 5...thats right 5 and raily got a new tutu that i'm waiting to come in and when they do more pictures of the kids...and this weekend is rustins birthday party so i will have pictures of that up soon...hope everyone is having an awesome week...

As a child i remember getting to do this every time it rained..we didn't have a swimming pool so the ditches became our swimming pool...rustin loves it when it rains cause 9 times out of 10 you will find him in the water or mud...what memories o memories...i plan on updating this more often but just can't find the time during the summer cause we're always outside playing

1 year has come and gone

2010-05-25T08:08:00.000-07:00

wow a year has come and gone so fast...it seems like yesturday that we where coming home with a new little girl to dress up and play with...and now i have a spunky little girl who is all over the house and getting mad at almost anything...here are the pictures that i have taken every month for a year of my little ones...even looking at rustin over the past year, hes changing into a young man....

one month old
2 months old

3 months old

4 months old

5 months old
6 months old

7 months old

8 months old
9 months old

10 months old
11 months old12 months old

i took raily to the dr yesturday and she weighed in at 21 lbs and was 29 3/4 inches tall...wow i can't believe how much she has grown since she was born...6 lbs 13 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long...wow...

she is saying a few words...hi, bye bye,momma, daddy, budbud, ice, outside, grangrat(once put she said it), if you say puppy she will bark like a dog....she is walking everywhere and even trying to climb into my washing machine and dryer...

we are still in size 4 diapers and wearing 18 mth clothes...and if it came to playing with toys or new clothes, the girl picks clothes out...it is so funny...we love outside and playing in the dirt...

again i can't believe how much she has grown up in just one year...i will have her birthday party up soon...just need more time to post on that one...

when is the ball going to come to me...

I love this picture...

He did such an awesome job...no patience though but he gets that honestly...we had to accidents where he pulled some little girls hair and made her cry...then all the kids where crying in the dug out so i went over to make sure it wasn't my son...guess what...it was my son...he was pulling a cord or something and poping on the kids with it...oh my...but you know kids will be kids and they have to learn sometime not to do that..i'm hoping next game will go alittle bit smoother...also with all that going on i didn't get to take much pictures...but it was still cute to watch him and the other kids being bored...he loved it though...

Glorious Day

2010-03-12T20:25:00.001-08:00

So today was such a wonderful, beatiful day....so what does any photographer do...take pictures of her kids thats what...Nana bought rustin this mailbox when he was born for pictures for me...well i finally decided to take pictures of raily in it...hahaha she DID NOT like this at all...so no smiling ones but it is a true raily picture

Here is rustin when he was 6 months old

Now here he is at 4 years old...it made me cry to see how much he has grown

This my most favorite picture so far of the both of them...

My kids are the best...Rustin is getting where pictures are not his favorite thing...and Raily she smiles until you put a camera or video camera on her...

Wow i can't believe my baby is nine months old already...being the planner that i am...i am already trying to get her birthday party stuff ordered...i can't wait...we are crawling and standing on our own...still afraid to walk but she is getting closer...shes been sick so when i took her to the dr the other day she has lost some weight..but shes getting so much taller...shes eating table food she refuses to eat baby food and i don't blame her at all for that...attitude, attitude...her daddy and i are going to have so much problems the older this one gets...

Rustin is growing up just as well...he recently started t-ball practice, which i must admit, i've very competitive so i want him to know how to do everything right...but this is just for fun THIS YEAR so i just bite my tongue and let him learn...his cousin Carson Wood is on his team so thats pretty fun...i will have a blog just for this later...rustin talks and talks and talks more like as questions but its amazing at how fast they grow up...in august he will start school...he loves playing outside and with his sister but here lately shes been a winer and he loves to torture her imagine that...hehehe anyways we are all doing well...just can't believe its already been 9 months already...

Well Rustin will have to have surgery on January 21 for his wee wee...the dr told me that he normally sees 6 to 10 kids in a year who needs to have surgery from 600 patients...so rustins is one of those lucky ones...also when he was born we had him (sp)circumsized well the good dr who did it didn't hardly cut any off so he will have about 1/2 inch removed...so the surgery will take about 45 minutes and he will be in recovery for 1 1/2...so for a 4 year old whose fixing to get his wee wee worked on we need lots of prayers...i am thankful for all that the good Lord does for us and allowing us our oppuritanes(sp)...i'm really tired today and can't spell sorry...thought i would inform everyone of our news we got today...i would have taken me forever to call everyone...

2010-01-05T08:21:00.000-08:00

Mamaw with all her girls(sorry i didn't have time to edit)

Then it was time for the Davis family reunion christmas party(best way to describe it)He thought it was funny to put a confetti star on his head and the only way for it to stick was to lick it

She wasn't in the mood that night

On Christmas Eve we went to get pappy's pick up unstuck and guess what we got stuck....it doesn't look bad but we are actually high centered...about an inch from rusty is the ditch and i got buried up to my waist...

Then it was time to go to Nunas for our Davis Christmas Party...this is the best i could get of the two of them...again hardly any pictures it was crazy around there

Softball

2009-09-22T11:29:00.000-07:00

Man they are thinking really hard...love this picture....

Batter up....he did so awesome...i guess all that practicing really helped
He got to be catcher...he liked it so much better then right fielder...
I thought this was an awesome picture...

Rustins buddies he plays with everytime...Hunter and Hudson

So on monday nights rusty plays softball and here lately they have been getting there hineys stomped on big time...but last night they did an awesome job of keeping up with the other team..they lost but it was only by 5 points...yeah...rusty told me next time hes going to wear jeans so he can slide...totally will have my camera for that...hahaha...boys...but i'm so proud of him and rustin has some friends to play with when we go so that makes it soooooo much easier to watch the game....rusty plays next monday at 6:30 at 24th and Ave Q if you get the chance come out....

Rustin

2009-09-21T11:58:00.000-07:00

So i'm always taking pictures of Raily cause Rustin has got into this new habit of telling me no or fake cheesing...so i caught him the other day playing in the sand and just had to take a picture of him before he realized what i was doing...right now his eyes are changing colors...its gone to blue to blueish green...he no longer has mommas eyes but daddys...and of course his daddy is eating it all up...also hes been alittle bit sick so i'm dealing with him and raily getting all better...when you have two they are bond to both get sick...but rustins my sweetie and i love him to pieces...

2009-09-11T07:49:00.000-07:00

I just had to post this...the look on her face was funny.... I hate that i cut part of her head off but love the smile...my kodak camera is going bad on me...i guess i take to many pictures..hahaha

These bows i made for her..yeah i'm getting there....

I left rustin with his daddy and once again rustin likes to go off and venture...i came home to his foot all red from rustys chemical dye...so we will see how long this stuff will come off...

This week has been a sad week...my dog that i had for 5 years was killed...we truely miss him..rustin doesn't get the concept of being dead...he will ask me "momma is tana getting a spanking?" why rustin "cause tana ran away and thats a no no"...i guess he remebers when he ran off and got into trouble...but he will be missed...we got offered a puppy great perines(not sure if i spelled that right) but i guess rusty wants her...of great dog food buying here we come...

Rustys grandma (NUNA) had surgery on monday and did excellent...they had to stretch her 1/2 inche on oneside to make her even...poor nuna but shes doing well...thanks everyone for the prayers...

Lots of hair

2009-09-03T11:53:00.001-07:00

I'm sooooo excited raily can wear her hair in ponytails now...i tried doing them in piglets but they looked more like antenas...and i didn't like it...but she loved it and looks totally different...shes such a cutie...rustin just laughs at them...i LOVE having a girl...i was more of a tom boy in high school and never saw myself having a girl and doing her nails and hair...but its soooo much fun...

Want some cheese with that wine

2009-08-31T14:24:00.000-07:00

We went to the harvest fest this weekend at the caprock winery and had a blast..it was alittle bit crowded but hey rustin had a blast...he didn't like the grape stomping but loved the jump house...he could have stayed in it all day long if he could...my family went, dad & mom, bubba and laura, and of course rusty, me, rustin and raily...we where going to take the tour but there was way to many people so we left and went to the llano...and took their tour we'll have to go back when its not so busy....had a blast though

on another note...check out my website smp photography at the very bottom of my friends list for pence family pictures that we took with rustys mom and dad...oh and nuna too..

when we went saturday night to take our pictures we stopped to eat first and rustin wanted a new toy...AlMost all the adults tried to get him one and couldn't...so they only had enough money for one more try and they let rustin do it...guess what...HE WON!!!!he got spongebob squarepants..he was so excited...

Sunday we went over to pappy and nanas house to pick rustin up from spending the night with them...and again he was swinging in his seat...he loves that thing...and of course daddy pushes him so high...see video...hes actually hitting the tree...anyways they put meg in the swing, such a good doggie..she didn't even jump out...but we made rustin stay away from her cause she likes to bite him...

Love my little boy...

We've had a visitor

2009-08-19T12:13:00.000-07:00

First of all, i found this thing for raily to sleep in...she loves to be swaddled...its called a swaddleme...love it...she can't get her hands free in this thing like she can her blankets...i don't know what we are going to do when she out grows it...but her she is sleeping peaceful in it...of course i don't put her feet in it now cause for one thing she has out grown it and second she likes to have her feet out anyways...

Misty, Chells little sister, has been staying with us this week while her momma gets ready for school...she has been helpful with raily...of course she doesn't get to hold her all the time like she would like but she does for alittle bit every morning....raily loves her...every time she sees her she stares and just smiles...its soooooo cute...

here we are monday night at daddys ball game...i will have to take my good camera next time i go and get good pictures...beka getting practice in before her little one gets here...and i love this picture of rustin...he keeps getting more and more freckols(if thats the way you spell it) i love them...i could kiss that nose every time...

i let the kids make their own pizza, tuesday for lunch...rustin wanted to put the whole bag of cheese on it...they loved it..but next time i will know to cook the pizza dough for alittle bit before we cook it...but it was still good...while rustin and raily where asleep beka came over and made misty some braclets and anklet...she looked sooo cute in them...thanks beka...i wasn't feeling so well that day...

today we went to the park....or should i say two parks...the first one had way to many ants...poor raily i didn't realize it had ants until i looked down and they where all over her...she never screamed or cried but momma freaked out...i started stripping her down and waving her blanket like a crazy woman....but it never fazed her...rustin and misty had fun playing though...i don't know what we will have planned the rest of the week but i'm sure we will have a blast...

Parade and Ferguson Lake Trip

2009-07-20T13:36:00.000-07:00

Last saturday we where in the parade...Rustin rode with pappy and i rode with rusty...we left raily at nunas house so she wouldn't be so hot...rustin loved it...pappy had to get rustin a seat belt and helmet to ride in the parade....after the parade rustin was crying that his hand hurt from waving at everyone...

FERGUSON LAKE TRIP

Well rusty and i didn't get to leave for the trip until wednesday night which made us getting to brownwood at 11:20 at night...which of course almost everyone was asleep...thanks john john and chell for staying up and seeing us...thursday we got up and played...mostly everyone fished on this trip..it was crazy how everyone was fish crazy...i HATE to fish..i guess i had to do that so many times when i was younger...rusty and i agreed that if we don't get to come down for the full week next time we are coming at the beginning instead of the end cause everyone was sooooo ready to go home...we stayed until sunday again thanks john john and chell for staying with us...we really didn't get to spent much time with rustin he was soooo busy playing with everyone he didn't have time for momma and daddy...so i don't have that many pictures of him but i'm sure my mom did with her camera...raily did so awesome...she wore her jacket and as soon as we it the water she was out like a light..i told rusty to bad we don't live close to a lake so when she gets fussy all we have to do is put her in the boat...i hope that everyone else had a great time and we wish we could had done more with everyone...love you all...

MOHAWK

I played with railys hair the other night after her bath and wondered what it would look like with it mohawked..of course its adorable..now i don't think she liked it but its cute...

Happy Fathers Day!!!

2009-06-22T07:40:00.000-07:00

For Fathers Day, we took my dad to the lake for some fishing and playing on the water....and by we i mean josh and laura cause they took their boat so all of us could fit...this was railys first boat trip and she did so well...she SLEPT...we spent the morning fishing and the fish keep taking all of everyones minos...so funny...josh and laura caught the fist two cropies then rusty caught a small bass...then Rusty caught the biggest fish at the lake...a 22 inch, 4lb large mouth bass...honestly i think he was more proud of his fish then anything else...after that he was on cloud nine...now he wants to go back next week...sorry honey...i was ready to go home in the first 2 hours...i know where rustin can't sit still and fish from....hehehe...then after we fished we went to the party cove and the boys jumped off the cliff...silly silly daddy is all rustin would say....then the boys went and intertubed...rustin rode with bubba while daddy drove...then bubba and rusty rode...after that then they waked board which bubba is getting good at....thanks guys for the fun trip we enjoyed it...and i like daddy loved it too....

After the lake we went to Pappy and Nanas house to cook some good ole BBQ chicken....we got there around 6:30 so by the time we cooked and ate it was already 9....we had a blast hanging out with them...again i forgot my camera so no pictures...Happy Fathers Day everyone hope ya'll had a great time...i know we did...

Rustins just talking

2009-06-18T07:33:00.000-07:00

Well my baby boy is getting so well at talking to you...some people have a hard time understanding him but he just talks fast and puts all the words together....but yesturday he got to ride with my mom on the mail route...well he had been with her about 30 minutes and he tells her "mami i go to mami's house and go night night, i've had enough" so funny...but they still had about 40 minutes to go...so they pull up to a customers box and its a rustin informs him that hes going to mamis house to go night night...welll the guy was like, you're my kind of man...then rustin tells him hes going to go watch cinderlla....hahaha i called rusty and he couldn't believe it...i just think its funny...wait until railys old enough for them to play dress up, rustin will go for the shoes....then we went swimming and he went to jump into the pool and told mami to move out of the way he didn't want to hit her...i'm telling you hes talking away now...but hes sooooo funny...i just love my funny baby...

Raily is doing well...shes getting where she eats her bottle at 9 at night and wakes me up at 3 in the morning...she eats about 5 oz and then wakes me up about 8 in the morning...thats so awesome for me...shes started learing how to grab...normally it will be her hair and starts screaming cause she hasn't learned how to let go...she loves to hear for her daddy when he comes home and listens to her budbud all day long...it can be just me and her and when rustin walks into the room she turns her head and listens to him...every once in awhile i will get smiles out of her, which of course are the cutest...but she still sleeps and eats and lies around all day...

Rusty and I are doing well...i hate having a baby around summer time cause i have a tummy thats not gone done(and i do realize its only been a month) but i hate wearing a swimming suit...rusty has got the I want to go to the lake fever...we're going sunday for fathers day so maybe that will get that out of his system...but other then that we are good...to all the Fathers out there...HAPPY FATHERS DAY...

Davis Trip 2009

2009-06-16T07:13:00.000-07:00

Rainy days in the country

2009-06-11T08:08:00.001-07:00

Yesturday we got about 7 tenths here at the house....Praise God cause we so needed rain...anyways rustin was suppose to go to his great grandparents house and go swimming but the weather wasn't going to allow us this that day....so when we got home mami came over and took rustin outside to play in the mud...which he loved...he wanted mami to sit in the mud with him but we had to go to town and eat so that didn't happend but she did jump and splash with him...it was funny cause he wanted to go round and round...so mami swung him but his hands where slippery and he fell face first in the mud...he LOVED it and thought it was funny...he had to take a shower with his daddy and he still had mud up his nose....when i was little we where to poor for swimming pools or anything else so we would swim in the ditches...i think that is one of the best memories i have as a child playing with my brother...one day raily will get to play with rustin....anyways thought i would share...it was so cute to not post...

2 week check up

2009-06-05T09:32:00.001-07:00

Raily had her 2 week check up yesturday and she is doing well...when she was born she was 6 lbs 13 oz and yesturday she was 7 lbs 7 oz....when born she was 20 1/2 inches long and yesturday she was 21 1/2 inches long...growing little girl i tell you..rustin was 35 lbs and 39 inches tall...so both of my kids are growing...

Also in Levelland they have a thing in June called the Music on the Square....we love it you get to listen to music for like 2 hours...Pappy gets to sing and we love to hear him....anyways John John came by to visit and rustin climbed on his back all by himself and was giving him a hard time...thanks for the picture john john(he hates to take them)...also while we where there rustin keep telling his daddy he had to pee, well rusty just ignored him...we turn around and in front of the whole crowd rustin had his pants down peeing in the flower bed...i thought it was funny what else can you do...

Mommas been playing

2009-06-02T08:17:00.000-07:00

I know Railys got hair but to find bows to go in them and to keep them to stay is hard to find...i hate putting the hair bands around her cause they are still to big for her face....so the other day i went into walmart and found some clippies and guess what, THEY stay...she hates me to put them on cause he have to press down alittle bit which she doesn't like....also i painted her fingers and toes last week..its almost time for a new color...but she looks so girlie...i didn't know how i would do with a girl cause i'm just use to boys...but i love it...its like having your own doll to play dress up with....

on another note...Rustin is doing well with her...he wants to help momma out all day long...and if she isn't in the room with us he wants to know where baby sister Raily is....every once in awhile he will want to hold her but you have to be careful cause it doesn't last long....the other night my cousin graduated from high school and they where throwing a party for him...by the way CONGRATS BLAKE...i didn't get any pictures cause yeah that was like my second outting and i was tired already....anyways rustin was the entertainment....his daddy was outside with him and i hear everyone laughing...come to find out rustin had pulled his pants down in front of everyone at the party and was trying to pee on my uncle...his daddy thought it was funny...thanks aunt tonya for taking him to pee on your new fence...and talking boy is he talking now...non-stop...i love it at times cause some of the stuff he comes up with is freaking funny....anyways i will have pictures of the family and everything else soon..i normally take them when they are a month old so 2 more weeks to go....can't wait to take them and show my new family off....hope everyone has a good day...

Well i'm sure all have been waiting for my post....sorry its taken so long i've been tired and trying to adjust to two kiddos at home...Raily was born one week ago today wow how time flies...she weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and 20 1/2 inches long...she was born at 12:27 p.m. it was really nice cause i got to the hospital and had a room at 8:10 he broke my water at 8:20 and 4 hours later here she was....whenever i brag about her doing so well the next day she shows me wrong...she is eating at night every 4 to 4 1/2 hours...during the day its more like 3 hours and shes drinking about 3 1/2 ounces...we try to keep her up at least 5 hours a day so i can get some sleep at night and it seems to be working...rustin is doing well he wants to help do everything with her and if he can't find her he gets soooo upset...so most of the day if she is on the couch then he is on the floor next to her playing with his toys...and i'll catch him over there talking to her and giving her kisses...soooo cute but we still have to tell him to be easy cause yeah rustin isn't gentle but he also doesn't understand about babies sleeping all day or be fragile....i'm doing good my stomach still hurts from the tubal but its healing pretty well....thanks everyone for coming by and calling we appreciate and love showing her off....

We went to Nunas house last night to have supper and pappy showed up on the motorcycle...of course, rustin was excited probably as much as his daddy....anyways we didn't have his helmet so pappy put his on him...it was soooooo funny...it was top heavy and whenever rustin started running toward the motorcycle we told him to stop and he couldn't and fell right on his head...we laughed and laughed...anyways he had a smile deluxe on his face when pappy took off...thanks pappy for letting rustin ride and of course, when rustin was done....daddy had to go on a ride he was gone for like 30 minutes...poor thing wants one so bad but momma's a meany i won't let him have one cause yeah 2 kids and a motorcycle...no...

Oh man rustin loves to help his daddy out all the time now in our new barn/carport....i would post pictures of that but it will be later when we get everything cleaned up abit...and for those of us who know us you're probably laughing your head off at that...anyways rusty has been awesome about getting rustin and going to the barn to work while i stay in the house and releax...when rustin does get to come back in the house he is dirty dirty dirty and wants to take a shower with daddy...no bath momma....i'm so glad he loves his daddy....anyways rusty is working on a table and let rustin help him(notice his tool is plastic)hehehe...rustin thinks hes soooo big...he even has his own drawer for his tools...daddy got tired of him taking his....such a big boy before we know it he will be building something for us...they grow up so fast...

Nuna bought him a shirt that says "A bad day fishing with daddy, beats a good day shopping with mom"....we love it, of course....

Circus

2009-04-26T17:27:00.000-07:00

Rustin was excited about going and seeing the horses and moocows...hehehe...he didn't understand...actually i think he was more excited about wanting to see brentley...brentley had a little friend go with us and she was a cutie...it was actually funny cause when we showed up to leave the girls where dressed alike and rustin was matching...now that was not planned but cute...when we got there rustin sat on nunas chair and she pushed him around spoiled little thing...the circus was 2 HOURS long he loved it at first but after awhile it got boring and it was hard to keep rustin still but i still think he liked it...he knew the elephants...i guess from watching the jungle book over and over...afterwards when went to mr gattis for some pizza and some play time....the prestons had to leave alittle after we ate the kiddos where tired...rustin played some games and off to home we went...momma was really tired and just wanted to go to bed...thanks nana for taking us and we loved having nuna there with us....we enjoyed you, the prestons, too...just wish we lived closer so we could do it more often...here are some pictures...

Getting Close

2009-04-23T18:05:00.000-07:00

I went to the dr today and i've been having contractions for 3 days 20 minutes apart...so he went ahead and checked me...i've lost a pound in 2 weeks, he gave me some medicine to help with the contractions and i'm alittle bit dialated(if thats how you spell it)...good news is that she has turned the way she is suppose to and her head is down there....he thinks this medicine will help me last until my due date in 3 weeks...3 WEEKS....wow i can't believe it will be that soon...i always wonder if i will be a good mom to 2 babies and how rustin will do...you always hear the stories of older siblings hitting the younger one or anything else....but i think rustin will do just fine...anyways i feel so tired all the time and i can't wait until 3 weeks...pretty in pink...anyways there is an update for all...i promise i will have circus update from yesturday up soon...

Fun in the sun

Rustys grandma bought rustin a wiggle worm sprinkler and for about 3 days now he has been wanting to play with it....and what a day to play...no wind and at 11:00 it was already in the 70's....so i let him play for about 45 minutes and of course, he didn't want to come into the house to eat....as you can tell he loved giving the dog a hard time...hes such alittle mess...this summer is going to be hard cause i will have alittle one around so we will be having to go to mamaw and grangrats to swim...i'm sure that won't bother them one bit...anyways i can't believe how big rustin is getting...no more diapers unless its at bed time...thats next...hes wearing XS shirts now(which are from the big boy section) 5T pants, size 10 shoes and youth caps...it was a big shock when i was putting up railys clothes and some of rustins where mixed in...wow i will have to take a picture of that...anyways loving the weather with NO WIND...wish it would last but you know west texas...hope everyone has a good day and we're going to the circus tomorrow so i will post those soon...see ya...
