Our First Health Scare

Elynn woke up at 1am Friday morning violently vomiting. It continued on throughout the night until she was so pale and weak she could barely move. I held her and fed her most of the night, but it would be shortly followed by throwing up. We took her to the emergency room around 7am. The doctor was unsure of what was causing it. They treated her with Zophran. She stopped vomiting and was fed electrolytes orally. It broke my heart. I felt helpless. I was scared. I prayed...A LOT. She slept most of the day. Fever off and on... She and I stayed at the hospital from 7am til 2:30pm. (Travis and Jaya waited at home) It's now Sunday and she is still not her cheerful self... She is clammy, warm, she cries a lot, and now teething to top it off. It is so awful to see your baby sick.

Jaya and Elynn

They are beautiful. Unique. Special. Sweet. Funny. Happy. Silly. Lovable. There are not words to describe how much I love them.

A Rancher's Wife

It is wonderful when he is around, but it can be a very lonely life being a rancher's wife. They say ranch women and farm women are tough. Well of course they are...because most of the week they do everything by themselves! It's Sunday..I'm lonely...

My Man....

I think my husband is HOT! He's a man of Steel and Velvet. Hot like Gerard Butler/John Wayne/George Straight, ya know a man's man. (He is going to kill me for writing this...) But I want our girls to know how HOT I think their Dad is!! This was date night, out to a wedding reception last Tuesday. We had so much FUN together...We ate, we danced, we laughed. Oh, how I love date night!

Growing Girly Girls :-)

I am all for teaching our girls to be strong and independent, but I would also like them to be feminine. One minute they can hit a home run in baseball, help at a branding, and the next minute paint their toe nails pink...

So tonight was date night...Jaya and I(Elynn watched and cheered)had fun dressing up! Travis had me buy the girls new shoes, Jaya wore a bow, we painted our nails, and even put stickers on them.. (I had saved a gift certificate from Christmas from my in-laws to get my nails done!) Fun...Girly...Bonding..I LOVE having girls!!!!

Elynn is 6 Months Old!

We started feeding Elynn rice cereal on her 6 month birthday. I mixed it with water. She was clearly NOT impressed at all.....



So what did we do? Travis and I tried to read Elynn's brain. So two days later (we are slow) we mixed the rice cereal with breast milk. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...This was the result!




We love you baby girl!

Jaya is 21 Months Old

She is growing up so fast. She has such a beautiful and strong personality. I love her sweet spirit. She is truly becoming "our little helper." We love her....
