A little while after we got home we got some company! Pappy! Rylee was really happy to see him. She gave him big smiles and giggles! And of course the boys were super excited. They worked in the garden, played in the yard, and in the house. What fun!
The main reason for his trip was to take Logan golfing. Logan has been begging to go forever now and finally Pappy gave him. They were meeting Justin after work to play. Can you tell he's excited??? (Look at those white shoes! can you tell they are brand new? Pretty!)
So that left me and the little ones. Rylee hung out while I gave Cody a bath. Her cousin Amanda made her the pillow she's holding a couple weeks ago. She doesn't sleep on it or hug it yet, but she LOVES to chew it! I mean LOVES. And it's the perfect squishy to grab and hold on to. Perfect Amanda, thanks!!
You will notice a trend with Rylee's pictures...her hand is always in her mouth. Don't know if she is looking for her thumb or teething, but oh my gosh...always there!
Since Cody got left out of the fun with the boys, I gave him a special treat for dinner. His favorites, besides olives. Pizza, bananas, grapes and carrots...yum, and TV. I let him watch a show while he ate...and he got to sit in Rylee's chair...Special night!
I was uploading pictures to the computer and Rylee just thought it was hilarious. Don't know why...silly kid.
So most of you know about the stockings my Grandma made right? She made one for EVERYONE in the family...not just mine, but everyone...let's see I think that is...20? Yes...a lot. Last year, I made one for Russell and Cody...aren't they pretty? However, they aren't that fun to make. Lots of work, I think she's crazy for starting this. Does this mean I'm going to have to make some for my kids kids? OH MY GOSH...I just thought about that, horrible! Stop the maddness! :-)
Of course I can't...so I bought Rylee's yesterday. AND OH MY GOSH, do you know how much those suckers cost? This one was the CHEAP one and it was $26.76...seriously? I don't even put that much worth of stocking stuffers in them to make it worth it! Geez. All my kids have Santa so we thought this would be good, and it had pink presents...why can't we get away from this pink???
So I guess I'll start this project tonight while I'm all alone. Must say, not really looking forward to it. I love how they look when they are finished, but they are so much more fun when someone else does them!OH WAIT! I have more people to thank. Pappy, Elizabeth, Amy, Russ, Connie and Mo joined the PTA AND sent more money to sponsor a family or do whatever the school needs, and by more money, I mean MORE money. Awesome! You guys have gone above and beyond my imagination. So far, not including what Justin and I will match we've collected...are you ready? Seriously, are you ready? $320! Yup, $320! Soooooo exciting! You all have no idea what you've done. This school is going to be blown away by all the love from my family and friends. I know I am! I'll be sending your membership cards with the thank you notes Logan made but we don't get them until school starts so hold on! And thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You guys are so ridiculously incredibly I can't stand it!!!! :-) Love you!!
