More pictures!

Rachel got her 3 month professional pictures taken yesterday and I am so excited about seeing them! The lady that took our wedding pictures took them and she showed me a couple after she was finished - too cute!! Rachel was a big girl and only got fussy to eat and then she was ready to go again! We got some with just Rachel and Daddy, some with Rachel and Mommy, some of the three of us and then some of her by herself. She smiles all of the time and would barely smile yesterday for the pictures...isn't that the way it goes?! I think that the whole experience totally wore her out. She feel asleep in her Daddy's arms last night about 10:00 and then didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning! She usually sleeps through the night, but not 9 1/2 hours! She is back asleep now! We have started putting her in her bed for her to go to sleep on her own and it has worked out pretty well. We have only done it once and she only cried for 20 minutes! Last night, we were going to try again, but like I said, she fell asleep in Dad's arms. We take a trip to Arkansas this coming weekend for Rachel's Great-Granny's 92nd birthday party!! YAY! We are excited to see family and friends, but it will be a very quick trip with a long way to travel for a 3 month old. Hopefully, she will be a good traveler. We have already decided that we will have to stop at least once, probably around Hope.

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

Image
We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
