Raya Recently

If Raya keeps growing like she is now, there's a good chance she'll be the perfect height for basketball. This would make her Dad and Nana VERY happy. I just hope she plays soccer ;) But her stance here makes her look like a Little Pro

Dress from G-Daddy, Basketball from Nana....

 Story of my life :)

This would be her "End of the Runway" pose

I love this little dress! Its handmade from Mexico. My Mom brought it back from her cruise.

It has little teal ducks on it

Oh, so her newest thing is Knocking. When we're in the house she goes door to door and knocks. This is her knocking on Nana's door.

Love the little bow in the back

Annoying

So its hard for me to say the weekend was Bad, because it wasn't. But it definitely wasn't the kind of weekend I would want to happen on the regular. Raya passed her cold on to me, but somehow she jumped from fever to runny nose and missed all the coughing. Which I'm sure means I'm coughing for the both of us. And after 30mins on WebMD I've convinced myself I have whooping cough. So needless to say I will be making a trip to my Doc tomorrow morning. Of course last week would be the week my Doc decided to go on vacation. She didn't check with me. But her family vacation was to ARKANSAS! So I forgive her :) I consulted with my other doc (aka WebMD) and he said Robitussin was ok to take while pregnant. So I went to Target on Friday because my coughing was seriously driving me crazy and I was at my wits end. I thought I'd just run the whole Robitussin idea by the pharmacist there and wanted to punch her in the face when she told me she didn't recommend it and I should just "ride the cough out." UHHHH. So I left Target with a bad attitude...and $50 of stuff I didn't need. Then Saturday came, the day I'd been waiting for ALL week...The Arkansas vs Alabama Game. I seriously thought about that game all week. Why? Cause I'm slightly ridiculous and because I bleed Razorback Red ;) HAHA. So Saturday was my day of redemption and hopefully it would make me forget about wanting to punch the Target pharmacist. I will be perfectly honest, I was fearful of Alabama. I mean, they're really good! So I made all my "clock wishes" (ya know, when its like 11:11 or 3:33) that Arkansas would win. WELL, the whole game the Hogs had my hopes up. I think maybe that's why the loss was even harder to except. Hello! We were winning like the whole time. And then we lose by 4. FOUR!!! UHHHH again.  So by Saturday afternoon my violent streak was alive and well. Good thing "I'm too cute to fight" LOL. So Saturday night I had cough drops for dinner and went to bed-oh and on my way I found my toothbrush in the dog cage. Pretty sure I know who left it there. Sunday I woke up to a termite infestation. And really, I didn't even have the energy to be mad. The screen to the back patio had about 30 termites just chillin on it and I discovered they were coming from their well established home that is also my door frame. Oh and did I mention they were on the INSIDE of my screen door? Seriously? Seriously. And this being the first week of Fall it was 90degrees. Go figure. And whoever decided that homes by the beach don't need air-conditioning because the sea breeze is sufficient was definitely not pregnant. Or fat ;) So now I'm a hot, coughing mess with termites and my Hogs lost. Annoying, annoying, annoying.

On a good note, Raya looked super cute in her Hog attire. And we got to spend the afternoon at the pool with some of my family. AND we got our new 46in flat screen in. Thank you Sunday!

PS- If someone puts in a toilet right next to the bathroom counter, there's a good chance you'll find a baby in your sink. FYI!

Is this a Posh Park?

Yesterday was such a great park day! Amy and I try to meet a couple times a month and this time Stephanie came too. It was so nice to be around my good friends that know me for me. Ya know, the "Kelsey Before Kids." I feel very thankful to have the girlfriends that I do (those with and without kiddos,) And its just so perfect to be able to be at the park with girls I've been close to since junior high and now be able to swap advice and info as it relates to our lives with kids in them.  The day started with the phrase "Is this a posh park because I really want to wear yoga pants?" -Steph. What was most hilarious about this convo was that I was literally putting makeup on as I said "I promise I won't judge you for wearing yoga pants to the park." First of all, who wears makeup to the park? Yah me. And I usually accompany my face of makeup with yoga pants :) It's how I roll. And thank god I did because Raya made me climb half a rock wall to prevent her from sliding down it. This was actually probably pretty funny if you happen to walk by when it happened. Raya was sitting atop a 7ft rock wall (she took the stairs, she didn't climb it) and was trying to slide down it like it was a slide. Me, being 5ft tall and 5months pregnant had only once choice, and that was to climb it. That's when my ladies, one holding a sleeping 3 month old and the other consoling her 3 year old after a heart breaking goldfish incident jumped into high gear and saved me from having to climb the whole wall :) What are friends for, right?!

Raya and Tyson-he just turned 1 this month!

Little Miss Raya

Sydney- she's 3. Syd was so sweet with Raya. She was hand feeding her goldfish and brought her a Barbie to play with. It was so cute watching them together. 

Steph and Tyson

Raya and Jackson- he's 2. I have super cute pictures of them together. They're BFFs. When we pull up in the car and Raya sees him she gets soooo excited. Its the cutest thing ever. And Jackson says "Kelsey! Raya!" Uh, LOVE IT!

Amy and Carter-he's 3 months old. Seriously, could they be any cuter? Amy, I'm gonna need you to not look so cute when you meet me next time ;)

Thanks ladies for a perfect afternoon of no judgement. Lol. Love you girls!!!
