My talented cousin

My cousin, Alycia, is graduating from UofL next month and moving on to New York to get her MFA. She is amazing!! Congrats on graduation and good luck in the "Big Apple".

The Floridians

Aunt Kim and cousin Adrianne stopped by on their way up north. Laralee just loves them both! It was so nice visiting with them, we wish we could see them more.

Aunt Kim read Laralee the potty book which made her night. Laralee loves reading books!

Just a thought...

I saw this on another blog and wanted to share it too. Whoever put it together did an amazing job. It gave me goose bumps. What a wonderful man and example to look to. Hope it inspires you!

A little taste of Laralee

Here are some random pictures I have taken of Laralee over the past few weeks. She has something new and funny to do everyday to keep me laughing!

She was helping me with the laundry, or at least she thought so. It makes sense...put it all on so you don't have to fold it or put it away. She put it all over her head by herself. {underwear, shirts, tank top, sports bra and a onesie}

Here is our new puppy, she kicks Daisy out so she can go in and play. Poor Daisy!

Her new love is to cook with Mommie. When I start something in the kitchen she says "chair", which means pull a chair over for her to stand on and "cook" aka eat flour.

Look at those beautiful chompers only a hygienist/mommie could love.

Aunt Holly sent some toys to Laralee last week. She loves the Mr. Potato Head

but thinks she can wear his pieces.

I think we have all felt like this once...{she finally has bed head!!}

But it doesn't take much to turn that frown upside down!

Eight Great Years

I just had to post a picture of the BEAUTIFUL flowers Ryan brought home to Laralee and me for our anniversary. They are not only gorgeous but smell heavenly, too bad I can't share their smell. Thanks Ry, you're the best husband and Daddy ever!!!
