Trip to Snyder & Beyond

Last weekend we took a short trip to Snyder. We flew into Lubbock on Friday night and tried to quickly drive to Snyder dodging lightening and rain the whole way. This is the 2nd time we've been home and the 2nd time its rained when we've been there. We see enough of it up here. Raelye need some 90 degree sunbathing weather! We had a great time seeing Ranran & Memaw, Uncle Kurt, and Nanny & Daddy Bill. We weighed at Nanny's house at Raelye is up to a whopping 15 lb 14 oz dressed. So I would assume she's about 15 lb 10 oz. She loved to play with everyone. Ranran would kiss her neck and his whiskers tickled her so bad she'd laugh, squeal, and curl up into a ball. Memaw cooked dinner and Christina, Mark, & Foster came to play. Raelye liked watching Foster run around all over the place.
Sunday we had Raelye's pictures done and some family ones as well by Miller Nunley Collections (formerly Spotted Lime). We are all awaiting anxiously to see them! They have to be precious as she was a ham the whole time Nikki & Carla were taking them. We took them all around Nanny & Daddy Bill's land & house. Raelye had her own little fashion shoot; we started out in a sunsuit, then naked (she begged to stay that way), a pink onesie with a cross on it (thanks to Uncle Colt & Aunt Teddy) and denim shorts, and finally a beautiful white cotton dress with eyelets on the ruffles and sleeves.
Ranran barbecued some ribs and Memaw & I fixed the sides. Everyone came out and she watched the boys play anxious to join them. Our flight out was early the next morning so we crashed early. We flew back on Monday morning and was back home by 1:30. We've decided she travels better when we travel in the mornings, might be a little rougher on us but its worth it.

Raelye has started using rolling over as a means of transportation. She rolls all around her mat and quilt in the den. She has also started teething and putting everything in her mouth. Yesterday I was finishing grabbing a bite to eat and putting the dishes up while she played on her mat. I could hear her rattles moving almost constantly. I finished what I was doing and stepped in the den to get her. She rolled all the way almost to the coffee table (a good 3 full rolls minimum) and had Lucy's cat toy in her mouth!!! I took it away laughing very hard and reminding Raelye she has tons of toys & Lucy only has one. We had to call Daddy & tell him what happened.
We went for a walk with a girl I met up here who's expecting. She brought her two Border Collies and I loaded Raelye up in her stroller. There is an amazing trail in Orting that runs along the river and gives you amazing views of the Mountain. She loved it as much as I did.
She just woke up, gotta run. Keep an eye out for pictures over the next few days: www.spottedlimephotos.com
