and Julie

Aunt Sherry, Grandma(Shirley), Jean, & Grand Aunt Sharon

Great Aunt MaBeth look wonderful at 91! As I said before learning about the essentials of being a mommy!

Today Shirley, Suzi and I hosted a shower for, Tim's cousin and mommy to be, Julie! We had lots of fun visiting with family and checking out all of her gifts!

Julie is beaming as she awaits the arrival of her little one around the first of July! She is directing a play June 26-28 so hopes that Baby Miller doesn't make its debut too early! We can't wait to meet the newest family member!

Silly Slippers

Since the week was going by so quickly it slipped my mind that I had to work on Friday!

I didn't remember until Wednesday that we needed help with Bella! Grandma M had a meeting and Grammy J is out of town with girlfriends from high school for the weekend so luckily Aunt Rachel and Aunt Suzi split the time and came to the rescue!!!

THANK YOU! As you can tell Bella and Wyatt had lots of fun as always and loved being twins in their matching Spiderman slippers!

Princess Bella Reappears...

Our Little Princess
Princess do lots of twirling with their wands
yet they still have to get their shopping done too!
Bella loves to put my shoes on and try and walk around!

We are having so much fun at this age...

starting to play pretend and watching her imagination grow daily!

Outside fun....

Yeah, I am outside and we get to play....
picking flowers for mommy...
I hear an airplane...
I could be out here all day and night....
Playing in the sandbox guarantees a bath!

This week just seemed to fly by with working on Memorial Day, so unfortunately Bella and I spent most of Thursday running errands! Although we did enjoy a yummy Bravo lunch with Libby and Sarah!

Bella was thrilled to be outside while daddy was grilling out!

We are thrilled that it is finally warm!

Hope it stays!

Meeting Charlie...

Charles Gordon Ranek

"Charlie"

Isn't he a beautiful baby boy!?!?!

You forget how small and peaceful they are!

I could of just held him for hours! Bella was saying Baby Charlie but she was more interested in looking for big sister Fallyn and playing with her toys!
The Proud Mommy and Daddy!

I was thrilled to finally get to meet Charlie!

He was so quite the whole time! We got just a peek at his eyes but he has the longest toes and fingers I have ever seen on a baby!

We couldn't be more happy and excited for the Ranek family and their new addition!

What a lucky boy to be born to such a loving family and to have a great Big Sister!

We know we will have years of fun watching the kids grow and play together!

The girls will have lots of fun with Charlie in the years to come!
Congrats on your sweet baby boy!!!!

Race Day Party

We had friends over on Sunday after the race!

We all commented on how times have changed!!!

As you can see I didn't take one picture of the adults...we were all too busy keeping up with the kiddos!

They (Zoshia, Bella, Emily and Claire) were all drawn the the ice buckets!

Go figure...tons of toys in the yard and they like the ice!

We should learn to keep in simple!

Kids can play with anything! Emily, Bella and Claire finally make it to the yard to check out the toys!
Starr Kiddos (Layne, Jillian and Fisher) on a big wagon ride!
Addie was too busy for any pictures!
Last year we lined up all the girls and got some great pictures but this year they weren't so into it! As you can tell a few are missing!

Thanks to every one for coming!

We loved have the yard filled with toys and kids!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

MR DOUGLAS ALAN REUSSER

we hope you have a wonderful 31st

Birthday and many more!!!!

Love,

Tim, Alli & Bella Raye

Thanks Wyatt!!!

My cousin Wyatt gave me some fun outdoor toys he

had outgrown.

While I was at the parade mom and dad cleaned and set up this

slide and fort thing!

He also gave me this power wheel four wheeler!

I am getting the hang of it but don't want to leave my feet up!

It would be a little easier if I would put my baby down too!

Thanks cousin Wyatt for all the fun new toys!

Meeting Miss Annie...

Sarah and Jason hosted a wonderful open house for

Kelly and Kyle and their beautiful new

daughter, Annie! She was the sweetest little baby! I was thrilled to

finally get my hands on her and get my baby fix!
Miss Libby had fun showing off her cousin!

500 Parade

Lucky girl...

Aunt Beth, Aunt Rachel and Grammy J

took Bella to the 500 parade!

She was very interested in the bands and big balloons!

and of course had her princess wave down!
Thank you sooo much for taking me
and all the fun!

I love you!

All for my man...

TIM MC GRAW

Yes, as many of you know I have a boyfriend named Tim too...

I try and keep things easy so I can remember! hehe

Even though it rained most of the night we had fun

as he sang to us!

He was quite the performer and we loved his tight jeans that showed off his heiny!

Dressing Up...

Mommy crowned me Princess Bella Raye for the day...
and then POOF....I was
ELMO....I thought this was sooo funny I couldn't stop

looking at myself!

I wore it all morning!

I am having lots fun dressing up and mommy just put some stuff in this chest for me to play with all the time! She says we will add all kinds of costumes to it and play pretend whenever we want! Looks like lots of fun times ahead!

It's a BOY....

Our good friends, Gordie & Amber welcomed their second child last night at 11:31pm!

A son!!!!

Charles Gordon

"Charlie"

weighs 7lbs 2oz

and is

21 inches long!

We hear he must look like his daddy b.c he doesn't look like his Big Sister Fallyn did when she was born who looked just like Amber's baby pictures!

Mommy and son are doing fine!

We can't wait to meet him and so excited there is another little boy to join the mess of girls we have!!!

Night on the Deck

It was a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day!!!!

I made some yummy but simple homemade guacamole and we enjoyed

it out on the deck!!!

Bella diggin in!!!!

Our deal of the day: we got gas for $2.97! 97.1 Hank FM was doing a promotion! Isn't that pitiful that $2.97 is a good deal??!!! But when you have 2 gas hogs that we have you do what you can! When we first got our cars in line for the promotion...Tim thought I was crazy but they had it very well organized with policemen directing traffic! We were in and out in 30 minutes flat! Worth the deal!!!
