The MTC

Yeah! He's made it to the MTC! What a great experience that was! The spirit is so strong. It was also one of the toughest things to go through. Raylie felt the spirit also, she was jabbering so loud during the instruction part and she decided she wanted to fill her diaper also! I wonder if that was the first time a diaper has been changed during the "Called to Serve" video? We were on the end where the missionaries exit so I couldn't go out those doors, so I discretly changed it behind a podium. Oh the memories!

Here are pictures that we took with Daniel at Grandma Great's house before we went to the MTC in Provo. The picture of Elder Fowlks, Logan and Raylie turned out so cute! I went to costcos and made the three pictures of Elder Fowlks and the kids into 5x7's and they are hanging in Logan and Raylie's room and the one of all three is in the living room. What a great example he is! We love and miss him!

Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas on Saturday for Wyatt's third birthday party(Josh's older brother Jeremy's little boy). It was fun to be with family, as you can tell there was a lot of family there for his Choo Choo party. Then on Sunday we had a pot luck dinner to celebrate Grandma Jeannie's birthday(Josh's mom). Most of her kids were there, we were the Thomassian family and Michelle. I also want to wish Melanie and Crissy a Happy Birthday this month also!

Fun with Family

Here are a few pictures of this past weekend with the neices and nephews together. It was a great weekend. Daniel did an excellent job on his talk Sunday. He will make an excellent missionary. It was nice to have an excuse to get all our family together. The far left picture is the grandgirlies (and Desirae) in there hawaiin dresses. The picture next to that is Grandpa Great with Carly. Logan and Joshua are the lone rangers in there Rosswell alien shirts. The last picture is of Raylie and Carly. It is amazing the size difference in five months. It was great to see all the family!

6 Months Old

Here are Raylie's stats:
16 lbs. 8 oz.
25 2/3 in.
41 cm. Head size

She wasn't happy with Dr. Twiggs as he was examining her. The water works were definitely flowing ( Raylie has the largest tears I have ever seen, she can tear up at the drop of a hat and soak her shirt with in seconds). She is eating squash, sweet potatoes and bananas. She doesn't really like rice cereal. Overall she is a very healthy, besides teething, little girl!

Perfect?!

So I tried takeing a picture of Raylie because I think this outfit is super cute. But she had tipped over on the grass before I took the picture so I set her back up and she didn't want to be on the grass anymore. I think it is a great picture anyway because you can totally read that her shirt says, "Nobody's Perfect." She has such a sad cute little face when she is upset!

Raylie loves Peeps!

Okay, so everybody that knows me knows that I am a candy freek! So I love it when Holidays like Easter include getting candy. I was holding Raylie (of course) and I got a peep out of the cupboard and within one second the peep was taken from my hand and went directly into her mouth! She is very grabby right now! She loved it. In the picture were she is crying, the peep was stuck to her hand. The last picture is her peep and the new peep for me. I thought it was pretty funny!

Happy Easter

Well Happy Easter Everyone! We had a good one this year. Saturday morning we went to the Leeds park for an Easter egg hunt. Logan found four eggs and Raylie fell asleep. On Sunday we were up by 7:30 thanks to Logan. He was excited to see what the Easter bunny brought him. After the excitement of the basket wore off, we got ready for church. Then went outside so I could get some cute pictures in their Easter outfits, as you can tell they really didn't want to cooperate, these are the best ones. After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a BBQ. It was yummy. Logan wanted to color eggs so Daniel and I colored eggs with him. He loved it!

Just more pictures!!

These are just some fun pictues. Josh took the picture of Logan and Raylie when I was at work. The one of Logan, he decided that he wanted to line up all of his cars in our backyard. Hey it kept him busy while I was getting ready. The bottom two are of Raylie sitting up on our bed! She is getting very good at sitting up all by herself. About two seconds after these pictures she tipped over.

Shrek and Fiona

Grandma and Grandpa Fowlks bought these Shrek ears from Universal Studios two years ago. Logan has loved them. He was Shrek two Halloween's ago. The other day he put them on Raylie and said, "Look mom, Raylie's Fiona." I thought she looked cute so I had to take a picture. Maybe this Halloween she can be Fiona?!

Going Banannas!

Raylie tried a bananna for the first time last week. She already has tried apples and loves them so we figured time to try something new. As you can tell she was really into eating the bananna.
