I made this Rangers shirt for Carlee. I'm not a crafty person, so I was pretty proud of myself. She loved it and when I was putting it on her, she said, "Thank you Mommy!" Of course, we are super excited about the Rangers being in the World Series (again), but they are definitely making it an intense and stressful series.

Lovin' on Maddy. We just had a major scare with Maddy and ended up having to take her to the Animal Emergency Hospital because she accidently ate rat poisoning and lost 1/2 of her blood count and required a blood transfusion. She is actually in the process of getting it right now (prayers!). The vet said we are really luckily we didn't wait any longer to bring her in. Poor thing!!!

And hugs for Molly

Cici and Carlee reading books

Big Girl Bed!!

Carlee is officially out of a nursery and into big girl furniture. We bought this pottery barn bed, dresser and nightstand from one of my good friends, Brynn. It was B's furniture in high school and college and a few years ago she bought nice new fancy furniture and has been storing this unsure what to do with it. The second she suggested she might sell it I jumped on it and said I would buy it. It is perfect for Carlee! We painted the room about a month ago since the walls were previously white and needed a color with white furniture. She has slept a full week on her big girl bed and has done a great job. She loves it. Her favorite part (besides jumping on it) is for me to lay down with her about an hour before she goes to bed and read LOTS of books. I'm going to have to start putting a limit on the # of books we read at night.

Uncle Cody chasing Carlee at Cousin Cayden's 5th birthday party at Jump Extreme Bounce House. Carlee was a little unsure about it at 1st but once I got in there with her for a little bit she got the hang of it and loved it.

Happy 5th Birthday Cayden!!!!

Carlee and Daddy after church at Highland Park UMC. Carlee got to see her friend Presley get baptized. What a special day!
