Just for Uncle Ryan!


Makayla is wearing her Razorback dress in honor of her Uncle Ryan becoming a Razorback this week. We are all very excited! As you can see she thinks that she is a model in her new dress.


We will probably not be able to get this dress off of her tonight. She'll probably want to sleep in it.

Eventhough Uncle Ryan is more of a football kind of guy Makayla is trying to improve her golf swing. Uncle Ryan is not really much of a golfer, but I am sure that he would play with her if she asked:)

The only downside...We can't move to Fayetteville too! Even Makayla feels the need to protest our living in a town with nothing to do while Uncle Ryan gets to live in Fayetteville with more stuff to do than he has time to do it:)

Just a family update

We have been really busy lately considering that I feel we have nothing to show for all the work we have been doing. That is kind of disappointing. Makayla stayed with my parents in Newport this weekend. I have to admit that I missed her much more than usual! I am always ready to pick her up, but I was really ready to get her this time. She typically stays just one night but stayed 2 night this trip. I wish I could say that we got a lot of work done around the house while she was gone, but we didn't. I think I was just worn out from the work week because we laid around practically all day on Saturday. We did go to Little Rock to eat and watch a movie on Saturday night, but I am sad to say that is the most we accomplished the entire weekend. Makayla did have a great weekend with her Granna, Grandaddy, and Uncle Ryan though.

She has been surprising me so much lately. Since she goes to school all day it is always such a pleasant surprise for me to find out that she knows something that I was unaware that she even knew. It always happens like that. Last night she told me to sit down on the mat in the playroom for circle (like circle time they have at school). I did, so she went into teacher mode and taught me the days of the week. I didn't realize that she even knew that. LOL! It's things like that I don't know about because I don't think to ask her "Do you know the days of the week?". The same thing happens with books. We will read her a book only to realize that she already has 75% of the book memorized. I always think "hmm...I guess they read this book at school too". We are just so blessed to have found such kind, loving people to take care of and teach our little girl!

Baby Update...Last week I woke up in the middle of the night to a couple of painful braxton hicks contractions. The painful ones let up but the contractions still continued. I called and talked to the nurse, and she basically told me not to worry about it because they had slowed down to a contraction every hour or 2. That is normal apparently. I don't know really because I didn't have them much at all with Makayla. Guess that's why we pay our OB's. I had my regular 34 week appointment today, and Dr. Williams wanted to go ahead and check me because of the contractions I have been having. Guess what?!? Not that it means anything at all, but I am already dilated to 1.5 cm. At least something is happening even though I feel a little weird since I am only 34 weeks. He assured me that it was totally normal for a mom who has already had a baby before. Once again...That's why we pay him the big bucks.
