The Massey Family: Fun Family Time!

The past few weeks have been filled with all kinds of family time and I love love love it! We took the girls to the rodeo last weekend. It was really cold when we set out in the morning but it turned out to be a beautiful day. When Jarrod and I took Preslee the past 2 years she has gotten tired really quick and just wasnt that into it. This year however she LOVED it! We took the stroller that holds both girls, it has a seat on back for Preslee to sit incase she gets tired of walking. The only time she really rode in it was on the way in the gates of Reliant. She was out and about checking out all the animals and having a blast, all while jumping over cow patties..

Found the poo!

Preslee and Mommy- Houston Rodeo 2011

The best part of the day had to be looking at all the pigs. P is so much like me it is crazy. She fell in love with those piggies! When I was small I wanted a pig so so bad... lol. Now so does Pres. SHe would walk up to the pin and say "Snort me! Snort my head off!" lol. Of course she won over many a person, like always...my little social queen. Her sissy is gonna have a big job learning to stand out :)

Preslee and Kaylee are so great together. Preslee loves to hang out with her, watch tv with her, help me bathe her and so on. Having 2 girls is amazing, better than I could ever had imagined. Yes the days of being at home are totally different from having my career to focus on, but Ive grown to love it. I feel so happy that I get to spend so much time with my kids. Staying home with Kaylee since she was born in December has me realizing how much little stuff you miss in the early months if you are not with them 24/7. As Im sure Jarrod would tell you, sometimes I am frazzled to no end and want to run away lol...but ya know...when they are not with me I miss em.

Speaking of my littlest Kaylee is such a good baby!

Pretty Kaylee 3 Months Old

She rarely fusses and eats great. She goes to sleep at 9pm and is out till 3am. Lately I have been having trouble getting her back to sleep in her crib and I just give up and bring her to bed with me. However, last night I was prepared for the battle :). She woke at 3am and I made myself sit in her room and feed her rather than take her back to my bed with me. She got sleepy again after her bottle and I layed her in bed still awake but drowsy. I stood there for a while patting her and trying to get her to stop squirming...then I hoped for the best and went back to bed. Crazy thing happened! SHE FELL ASLEEP! lol... I had to actually wake her at 9am when I was getting Preslee ready for preschool. Yea, I probably just jinxed myself but hey, its a start. You gotta start somewhere right? Kaylee is such a sweet blessing to our family...to me, to Jarrod and to Preslee. Shes a bit of a Mommas girl already but it doesnt stop her from having fun with Daddy. Preslee loves to "Fly" with Jarrod...and a few days ago Kaylee had her first "flying" experience with Daddy. So funny and cute.

Time to Fly!!!

We really have been having a wonderful few weeks. Great Grandma did great with her hip surgery and Kaylee, Preslee, Jarrod and I went to the hospital daily to see Mom and Great Grandma.

Kaylee and Great Grandma Steed

I was able to capture 2 very sweet photos of them. Her Alzheimers is getting worse but Mom does such a wonderful job of taking care of her.

Please keep Great Grandma in your prayers for a speedy recovery. :). Last but not least -- Preslee's exciting news. She helped Papaw drive a tractor at his jobsite. She was so so so excited to pick up dirt and dump it out. She just loves being at work with Dad.

Working with Papaw 2011

He got her a hardhat and she wrote her name on it. She says she needs to go help Papaw at his dirt job and work with his "work mans". Shes the funniest kid I have ever met...
