Our Thanksgiving this year was pretty mellow, and needless to say i LOVED it! We woke up and lounged in pjs till noon...those are the best days. Then had a small group of us at the restaraunt ate, and played games. and I love me some family game time. It was super fun, way better then the normal 50 people dinner we always do.

We took the girls to the park near our house and played in the leaves, i honestly dont remember playing in the leaves as a child but we had so much fun!!

 They chased eachother and played like there was no tomorrow!

I truely love seeing them together because they honestly love eachother so dang much it hurts. And its something im extremley greatful for. Raygan is the best big sister a mom could ask for and has never once taken her jealousy out on her little sister, if anything she does to me and cameron. Shes so sweet and I hope they continue to be best friends...minus the teenage years haha i know those will be rocky! I do envy them in a way because I didnt grow up with my sister so we arent too close. We've always lived 5-7 hours away and only saw eachother on holidays and summertime growing up. Ive never even had a best friend like that! Im glad that they have eachother and always will. Its amazing to see them and their love for eachother. truely amazing!!!

 Chasing eachother! :)

My favorite one of raygan for the day!!!

 

let it snow!

Usually it doesnt snow in the good ol' Tri Cities until well after Thanksgiving, closer to after Christmas to be honest. We woke up yesterday to it and Raygan was extatic! Everything is so much more fun this year because she is starting to "get" things! She was screaming "loooook" everytime she turned her head to a new patch of snow.

Her eating snow...I may or may not have taught her that :)

(I know I need a little help with my camera!)

Coat: Target

Jeggings: Old Navy

Boots: Payless...I think

Ive dug out my old Christmas books and bought a couple Mickey Mouse christmas movies, to trigger her mind! I want her to be well prepared for Christmas! We will be digging out the tree this week! ( I know we have a fake tree, but its a little less messy with two little kiddos running around....booo I know!) 

Lets get back to normal!

My oh my words can not describe how happy I am to have my best friends wedding be over with! Dont get me wrong, I thrive on events, birthdays and holidays. Its what keeps me going! But babysitters every other day and appointments to attend were starting to give me a little anxiety! It was a blast! So much weight was lifted of our shoulders once we hit the dance floor! The day began at 7 am with nothing but disastor after disastor! After fighting with the MAC girls....and loosing the marriage license there was an outstanding wedding! Raygan was the flower girl and my baby is so so shy, my friend was well aware that instead of the ideal happy little girl walking down the isle droppping flowers was going to look more like me carrying my baby on my hip while clinging to my partner for balance, I was sure I was going to pull a Kortney Kardashian and trip carrying her. But you know what? she did it! she made friends with the brides little sister before and she walked down the isle, she had her sippy cup in tow and she was looking down the entire time, but she did it! I couldnt be more proud.

And as for Remy, the next day out of nowhere she ended up with a 102 shaking and shivering, after the first dose of tylonal didnt do anything we left daddy and raygan at home and headed toward the ER, after learing girlfriend had a ear infection we headed home at 130 am. I.am.tired. shes been wanting me to hold her at all times, and no one else works! I love being needed and this is my favorite part of being a mom! Hopefully this week gets happier, Im looking forward to locking myself in the house and doing lots of cuddleing!

Hanging out at the house!

Halloweeen here we go!

hello! Oh my gosh! okay so I know I neeeeed to get better at this blogging thing! but on my defense this house has been a complete and utter disaster! Ive basically been up to my ears in boogers and projectile vomitting! lovely right? The Mr. is also sick....dont you love how when they are sick its the end.of.the.world. and no matter what they are "way worse" then you haha. ohhhhh what a wonderful couple days!

Back to Halloween, it was so so fun this year simply because Raygan was starting to "get it." what a fun surprise for a little girl, say "trick or treat" and I get a candy? How cool is that RIGHT! We had a blast, first we met some friends and went to our local Safe street which was put on for local buisness to hand out candy! She is so so shy and she got scared by a skeleton and at that point she was over it! So we took a break and decided to shoot for some red robin before we visit the family and go around grama and papas neighborhood.

Theres miss Ray Ray as a police girl. Her and daddy picked out her outfit! Oh and thats her famous pose haha

Ray and cousin Aubree

Theres Remy in her bumble bee coustume! she WILL NOT keep hats on so bye bye to her bee hat and hello cute headband.

This one is my favorite one of hers!

She cracks me up!

I was so happy I got to pick out Remys warm outfit! she was so cute and plump in her costume haha she couldnt crawl unless we put her in the crawling position first, too cute i must say!

Remy didnt last long she pooped out on us on our drive to gramas house, so we layed her down inside and took Ray around their block, houses decked out in halloween attire and people dressed up as witches handing out candy, she loved every second of it! I gently held her hand and coaxed her into saying the magic word....which half of the time worked haha but hey shes super shy! I couldnt blame the poor kid! but as soon as she got that candy she ran straight to daddy and  said "looook daddyyy, candy!" and then instantly wanted to be perked right on his shoulders, and then on to the next house! we had so much fun!
