Pray pray pray

This is basically what I have been doing all day.  I thought instead of just letting these things weigh heavy on my heart I would pass them along, I think this will help me.  There is a 7 month old baby girl at my church who has now been in the hospital for 2 weeks.  She has 2 older sisters that are in our youth group, a senior and a 7th grader.  So this has been consuming our thoughts lately.  Little RyaLyn had croup to begin with and because of it her throat closed up.  She had a ventilator for the first week and then ended up with a tracheotomy(which she will keep temporarily).  She now has an infection, high fever, and they are having a hard time with her veins and iv’s.  Please pray with us for RyaLyn’s speedy recovery.  Her family has had a really rough time this whole year and they need her better!!

The second thing that has consumed my thoughts all day has been about a lady from school.  I can’t say anything about how I know her(don’t want to give any info out at this point), but her husband left last night.  They have 2 young children and they don’t know yet.  I just really had a hard time swallowing this one today.  I just don’t understand these things and it really sucks for them!

Anyway, with all the prayers going up for these things I couldn’t help but be thankful for my blessings.  I know that sounds completely selfish but it is just hard to see these things around me and not be completely thankful for Adlee’s health and for my hubbo.   When you are reading this please  pray on behalf of these people, but also thank God for all that He has given you. 

And onto what this blog is all about:  ADLEE!

Here are some recent pics of my little blessing!!

She was Tinkerbell for halloween.  Here are her pictures from her fall festival at school. 

Here she is with cousin Evelyn.  I think one was moving every picture which is why they were all blurry.  And my dad took them :)

On Halloween night at church.

This past weekend Adlee and I went with my parents to the horse  show at the fairgrounds.  This is my Dad’s thing and he likes when Adlee dresses cowboy with him!!

 

 

I can NOT believe she is going to be 1 a week from tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Cousins Day

Last Saturday we invited Adlee’s cousins to come over and carve pumpkins.  We all had a really good time!

  

None of them wanted to touch the “yucky” stuff. 

Evelyn refused to even try!!

James had the brilliant idea to use a spoon to get the stuff out, so we wouldn’t have to touch it!

Adlee was not liking that she wasn’t a part of the fun.

Mark stayed for the A&M game while Teresa ran some errands, so he got to hang out with Adlee after this point!

We let James draw what he wanted cut out on one pumpkin and Lydia got to do the other one.  Jerred carved the boy one and I carved the girl one. 

Adlee LOVES her cousins!!

That's Amore!

Adlee has her first crush. He is in our youth group and is in the 8th grade, she likes the older boys, much older boys. Adlee has been eyeing him for about the past 2 weeks. She will see him from across the room and just giggle and smile, then she will get shy and put her head down, then look back up at him to make sure he's looking. Well, tonight she was flirting and his dad told him to put his hands out for her. Well, of course when he did Adlee about jumped into his arms. Little did I know he didn't know how to hold her, so he ended up just holding her like a baby, only really akwardly. Does it look like she minds?!?!

We don’t even want to talk about it!!

Yesterday Adlee watched a very important game with her Daddy.  But as always we play football on X-box first!!

Notice she is in her gear for the game!  Before the game I caught her doing her pre-game stretches.

The game started off GREAT!!!

We sure cheered on the sooners!

She thinks she saw a couple of Canes pull some face masks and it wasn’t called.

And then when Broyles didn’t come back after the half she was concerned!

And then reality set in!

Seriously?!?!  We lost?!?!

Like I said before, we don’t EVEN want to talk about it!

10 Months Old

I can NOT believe that Adlee will be a 1 year old in 2 months!!!  This time has flown by and I don’t even know how I feel about it yet.  She is such a big girl!  Sorry to say though there hasn’t been much celebrating happening here.  Poor Adlee woke up on Tuesday morning not feeling so well.  She and I both have been having bad allergies so I just figured that is what it was.  I went ahead and took her to my Mom’s house.  I called her when I got to school to see if she was any better and she said she needed to call the doctor because Adlee was very fussy (I could hear her crying in the background).  By the time they got to the doctor Adlee had been running a fever for a while.  Turns out my sweet little one has H1N1.  Yes that’s right folks, the nasty swine flu!  It’s kind of running crazy around these parts.  I had several kids in my class with it about 2 weeks ago, and there have been others at Adlee’s preschool this week (although thankfully not in her class).  Anyway, it really has not been as bad as the hype.  She has definitely not felt her chipper self, but after that first day she has been okay.  She hasn’t run any fever today and has played most of the day with no fussing so I would say we have beat it!!!  Now if Jerred or I don’t get it we will really have beat it :)

Not a flattering picture of me, but how sad is this?!?!  This was yesterday morning…we did LOTS of snuggling this week, which I did not argue with her about. 

Now back to the whole 10 month thing.  She is still the happiest baby ever (well, without the flu), and she talks and laughs all the time.  She just cracks me up!!

She has figured out how to do the peek a boo thing all by herself.  And the greatest part is, she laughs more under the towel than she does when she puts it down.  Her whole body shakes with excitement!

This week if she was crying and nothing  I could do helped all I had to do was let Sadie in, and she could do the trick!

And to prove to all the Grandmas that Adlee is actually better here is a video from today!  Notice who she is talking to at the end.  And please ignore the ad at the beginning of the video, it will go to Adlee after there over. 

Cute Baby Girl

Jerred and I took Adlee to the park this afternoon to have a little photoshoot.  She has been in the best mood all weekend, I suppose she is always in a good mood, it just seems like she gets happier and happier every day!!  She is 9 1/2 months now and time is flying by.  She cracks us up, in fact I think she tries to crack us up.  She has all kinds of “tricks” that she does now.  She will dance, clap, show muscles and click her tongue to make noises. Oh, she also fake coughs on a regular basis.  She starts school tomorrow at Memorial Road Sonshine school and I am so excited for her.  I think she is absolutely going to love it. 

Here a couple of the pictures from today!
