Bee!

Super hilarious video that I feel kinda bad about.

Blocks

Raelee loves to build with her blocks. She can make some pretty amazing buildings. She's always so excited when her block stays in place and super surprised if her building falls. And yes she built these all by herself. 

Happy Birthday Brad!!!

My hubby turned 28 last week. We had so much fun celebrating. It started Wednesday morning when Brad let me sleep in while he watched Raelee. Lucky me! Brad is reading Lord of The Rings and apparently on their birthdays the hobbits have a party and give gifts to their friends and families in appreciation, so Brad wanted to do a small spin of of that, hence I got to sleep. I think I like this idea lol. Then I sent Brad to play golf while Raelee and I decorated. Brad's parents were able to come over that night and eat dinner with us, and have cupcakes, and we watched the finale of SYTYCD. Go Melanie!!! Brad's mom made him a picture video set to music of pics of his life. She did a really awesome job.
     Saturday our BFF's drove to Lake City with us to eat at Texas Roadhouse, Brad's favorite restaurant. It was a good time to talk and catch up. But the drive back to Tally with full bellies was long!!! So glad Raelee let us take a nap when we got back home.
     Sunday Brad gave a talk at our church. He did such an awesome job! I love to hear him speak. He spoke on his conversion story and the power of a testimony of Christ. The spirit was super strong. My parents, sister, and a friend from work were able to come hear Brad speak, we were really appreciative of their support and help with Raelee(she so needed a nap by that time of the day).
     Last night my parents, siblings, grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins came over to celebrate Brad's birthday. My sister Lindley and I made Brad an awesome surprise birthday cake. Pretty sure it's the best cake I'll ever make in my life. Brad LOVED it and it was super yummy.
    Happy birthday Brad!!!! Hear's to an AWESOME next year!!!

Fourth of July

     What a fun 4th of July, though it turned out very differently than planned. I was supposed to work, but luckily when I got there, we didn't have enough patients so I got to go home and go back to sleep. Brad and I spent to afternoon cleaning and rearranging the downstairs, we finally got our new media center put together and I LOVE it! We were going to go to Tom Brown to watch the fireworks, but Raelee started running a fever again and was acting very puny, so we invited Brad's parents over to our house instead. We had yummy jelly hot dogs and watermelon and cupcakes. Then we did our own fireworks outside and then watched a movie. The not so fun part was waking up at 5:30am to vomit in Rae's crib from earlier in the night. The cupcakes were not so pretty to see a second time. Her crib looked like a blue smurf had been squished, Yuck! Raelee's still running a fever today, so no beach for us tomorrow. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. Sick babies are so sad.
