Relieved

We finally got Wesleigh's MRI done today. We haven't been in a huge hurry because we totally expect a good report. I also have been dreading it and am very good at procrastinating ;)

We had to be at the hospital at 6:00am because they had to sedate her for the procedure. She was a trooper. When it was time to go back in the room without me, the girl said the magic word "balloon" and Wesleigh willingly went with her.

When she woke up, she was just plain mad. They brought me in and she was wailing. She was especially mad that the hand that she sucks her finger on was wrapped up with an IV. That would be my fault for not telling them :(

She calmed down soon enough and has been fine ever since. I'm so thankful that is over! We'll go back to the dr. soon to get the good report!

Here are some pics from yesterday. They are some of my favorites. We were trying out a new do. Not completely successful yet, but the way her hair grows, it won't be much longer!

Trying to show me how old she is. The girl can snap! But has trouble getting those 2 fingers up :)

I know I can do it!

There it is!! I'm TWO!!

Muuaahh!

Wordless Wednesday

Awesome!

"awe-duh" (awesome) is Wesleigh's newest word and the cutest by far!! I'm not completely sure where she got it, but I have caught myself saying it a number of times lately ;)

Not only is her pronunciation the cutest thing ever (trying to get it on video), but she uses it at the right time. It is hysterical. Today she brought me this fairy costume that a friend passed down to us. (It was on the floor of her closet, and evidently, I left the door open) When she showed it to me she had her mouth wide open in awe and said, "awe-duh"! Of course, we had to put it on and look in the mirror (and take a couple of pics!)

6 Months Ago TODAY

Six months ago today, we walked into a room and met this scared little girl.


And, just look at her now!!!

It's amazing what a little time and alot of love can do!!

Thank you, Lord, for this sweet child who has completely turned our world upside down!

She was just what we needed!!!

Beach 2010 Part 2

Here are some more pictures from our beach trip. By this time, Bryce, Braden and Richard are all gone so it's me, Cade and Wesleigh with all the cousins. They had a great time together.

I just can't help it. I think she's the cutest thing ever in her bikini!!

Especially these shots from behind. We often call her "tiny heiny" around here. She has Richard's butt (or lack thereof!).

Cade and Hayden. Don't even ask what Cade is doing here. He's trying to flex his neck because he thinks it makes him look "buff". Lord help me!

Cade, Hayden and PawPaw.

Playing some kind of dominos game.

Madelyn and Wesleigh. Wesleigh adores Madelyn and wanted to be with her at all times. She was a huge help to me. I didn't want to let her go back home to Colorado :(

Wesleigh and Auden.

This was hysterical. Rylan and Wesleigh played tea party for quite a while on the beach. If you knew Rylan, this is something you would never expect. So cute!

I love this picture of Miss W. She just looks happy!

Beach 2010

We just got back from our family beach trip. As I look through these pics, all I can think of are the ones I should have taken! So frustrating! But...these are cute, and just a hodge podge of our beach days. This year was a little different because my little family was only there together for one full day. Braden and Richard left the 2nd day for St. Louis. Braden is playing in a World Series tournament there. Richard then left from there and headed to B'ham for some work meetings. Bryce left the beach Sunday because he has band camp all week. My sweet Daddy brought him home and then came back the next day. (Band camp is a whole other post :) Cade, Wesleigh and I came home today. As much as I love the beach, it's always nice to get home!

So.....on to the pics! Cade was so funny in this pool with Wesleigh and Auden! He took up the whole thing!! Auden loved Cade (and he loves her right back).

All the cousins. They weren't all happy about it, but they're all there!

Me and my honey on our one day of vacation together!! We'll have to do better next year!

Bryce was jumping the waves with Rylan. His legs are just a little longer ;)

2 peas in a pod. Braden and his dad. These two are inseperable!

The girls wouldn't fit in here with Bryce!

Daddys are always the most fun in the pool!

This one just cracks me up. My dad was blowing up the little pool and this is what I saw when I looked over at him. I almost had to go make sure he didn't pass out!!

I have plenty more that I'll try to post tomorrow.

BTW...the beach was awesome! I really thought we were going to have trouble with oil, but we didn't. I was very excited that we were able to be on the beach.

Beachin' It

We are beachin' it again. Miss W still LOVES the beach and is fearless in the water. We have been pleasantly surprised that the beach is clean and oil free! We are hoping it stays that way for the duration.

I should have lots of fun pics to post soon!
