...Some more && From Thanksgiving!

Just some pictures of Rhiley!

Happy Halloween!

I really dont have much to report down my way. I just wanted to share a few Halloween pictures of Rhiley.... he was a skunk this year. ENJOY!

He's the cutests skunk Ive ever seen...... *but Im quite partial!*

He was quite mad at me.... He did not want me to take his picture......so I did anyway!

Alright, Im done for now!!!!

.......SCHOOL & stuff............

BIG CUP OR LITTLE BOY?

Its been a while since I have made a post, so I thought I better update. As you all know I went back to school in August & Rhiley started daycare. Things seem to be going well. School is ok, its promising to be a good semester and Rhiley really enjoys going to play with the other children. Although, he has to throw a 'little' tantrum every morning I drop him off, but they say he stops almost immediately after I pull out of the driveway. And I must say, since the day he started hes had a touch of sore throat, 2 ear infections and a stomach virus. Kids are really germy. But at least his immune system will be good & strong. I think the interaction with the kids will really help him in the long run, he was getting a bit stingy, and its gotten better. Anyhow, I will end this with a few pictures of Rhiley. Hes getting so big. In just 4 short months he will be 2. TWO YEARS OLD. I will be the mother of a 2 year old. I still cant believe it sometimes, but I wouldnt have it any other way. Until Next Time..............

Update Please.....

Well, Just to let everyone know, I am officially enrolled in school, yet again! I enrolled today for the fall semester, so I am on my way. Also, Rhiley got enrolled himself in "Miss Ashley's Daycare". I just about cried, but it is going to be ok. The daycare is about 2 1/2-3 minutes from the college and he seemd to like it today when we went for a "test run". He immediately started playing with the other children there, which is a good thing. He's not shy that's for certain. The lady who runs the daycare seems to be really nice, and everything is really clean and neat. I think things are going to work out fine. and It will only be for a couple of hours Monday-Friday. It's just a really big adjustment. More so for me than him, I'm afraid. I just have to keep telling myself, this is the right thing to do, and that it will help us out in the future. Plus, the sooner I get started the sooner I get done, and get a job. Jimmy is very understanding & is backing the daycare descision up 100%. His job is going well also, another bigger company took over, so more money and better benefits, so that's a plus. Things seem to be going really well for us, and hopefully things will continue to look up. I got a new camera for mother's day,so here's a picture of Rhiley. I think he's guilty of something but I dont know what :0) !!!! Until next time, God Bless!!!!!

Happy Easter!

Hope this day was fantastic for everyone. As for me, I am exhausted! Running here and there, coloring eggs, then hididng and finding them. I am just wore out! Rhiley had his first "real" experience with the Easter Bunny yesterday at the park, and he absolutely did not like him. AT ALL! He started pointing, and crying and trying to run back wards to get away. But I can't say that I blame him. If I was one and a giant bunny with enormous eyes was trying to get me to sit on his lap I would probably have ran too! He did get a lot of eggs at the Park though, so all was not lost. This morning we attended church and he got a bunny and lots of candy in his basket. I will attach a few pictures of Rhiley with the "Big Bunny". Happy Easter guys! Talk to you soon.

Love, Machelle

Just Stopping By.....

I haven't made a post on here in a while so I thought I would just stop by and say hey! Nothing new 'round the ol' home front. Rhiley is still into anything his hands will get ahold of... at least until momma or daddy catches him, then he's quick to blame the dog...as if such an innocent little man could do something like pull the air freshener out of the wall and lick it to see if the it actually does taste like cinnamon apple.... hmm NOT RHILEY!!! :0) Anyway, his daddy got a new pair of work boots and he thought it would be gobs of fun to play in them, Rhiley not Jimmy (just to clarify!) Luckily I had a camera handy so I thought you guys would enjoy these.... Hope you have a wonderful day... Till next time... GOD BLESS!
