The Golden Girls: Shrimp Boil...First Trip to Jenny's...6 weeks old!!

Rhealee is 6 weeks old!! Where have those weeks gone? This last week she had really started showing her personality. She has started smiling more often and making all those cute little baby noises and being awake more than sleeping. She is growing so fast. Before Taryn knows it Rhealee is going to be as big as she is.

Rhealee is really getting some personality. Those eyes light up when she smiles at you.

Taryn is still a proud big sister and loves to hold Rhealee. It wont be long before Rhealee is to big for her to hold.

Taryn being serious. We have no idea what this face is or where it came from she just looked so serious.

I decided it would be a good thing to send Rhealee to Jenny's a couple of times before I had to go back to work, so Friday she went to daycare for the first time. I thought I would have to be in Lubbock for just a couple of hours, but it ended up being all day. She did great, and mommy did ok too. She will go again next week sometime again. Taryn was super excited for her "seester" to go with her to Jenny's. She helped Jenny take care of her all day.

Getting ready to go to Jenny's. Rhealee got fussy (she knew I was going to leave her) and Taryn was helpful in getting her paci. She is a little rough putting it in, but she is trying.

Not a happy camper. She was mad at me for putting her in the car seat.

Aunt Kami turned 21 this past week so the family all got together for dinner at O'Hanas (spelling?). We have taken Taryn once before and the fire scared her. We werent sure what she would think this time. It scared her as you can see.

This picture was pretty cool. I snapped it right as the flames shot back at us. Look at Doakies face!

Rhealee the bow-head!! We had gone up to school and she feel asleep coming back to the house. This is how I found her when we got to the house. She hates bows!

Last weekend we went to San Angelo to help PaPa with his shrimp boil. It was a weekend of a lot of work, but it was nice to be away from the house and close to the lake. Wish we had a boat so we could have gone out, it looked so nice. We were staying at the lake and we didnt even get our fishing poles out. Cory, Kami and Michael wanted to go to the driving range instead. Oh well, excuse to go back.

For the shrimp boil we decorated the party house in a Mardi Grai theme, complete with pinata. It was a great excuse to see people act silly and get some good laughs.

PaPa was one of the first at a chance at the pinata and Kami was not very nice to him. So this is PaPa getting back at her. "are you ready Kami? Your facing the wrong direction."

Taryn even took her turn at hitting the face.

PaPa taking his turn at the pinata. He missed more than he hit!

Taryn passing out necklaces for everyone to wear to dinner. She took them back as soon as she passed them out. She wanted them all.
