What do i do?

In my past life i was a hairdresser for 5 years. I loved it, and i loved the girls i worked with. I truly enjoyed going to work everyday and greeting my clients. It was always great to see everyone. It is a very self fulfilling job and sometimes i even miss it...but September 19, 2012 i gave birth to the most precious little baby in the whole wide world!! Indie Beckham Ray was born. I had quit my job a few weeks prior, and honestly i enjoyed being able to sleep in, relax, cook, and sew those last few things before the baby was born. Being at a job where you are on your feet all day is very tiring, especially when you are about to have a baby! Since Indie was born i have stayed at home with him and it has been the biggest blessing in our lives.

 Being with my son every day has been the best joy and blessing in my life and i wouldn't trade it for the world. I love him so much, and my love for Ryan has grown so much by having Indie as a part of our family. He is such a joy and we love him so much! 

Ryan and Indie

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take pleasure in other peoples sins,but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to eudure whatever comes.

I have the best Husband and little family in the whole world. He is so amazing and i love my little Indie baby. They are so precious to me!!

Things that make me uncomfortable:

Awkward moments.
Being stressed.
Crunched for time.
Being Late.
Public speaking.
Sleeping anywhere other than my own bed.
Being cold.
Mosquito bites.

3) Flip it right side out and glue or hand stitch small opening.
4) Iron your un-finished bow tie. Also iron your 1 1/2" by 3" piece of fabric in thirds.
5) Sew the 1 1/2" by 3" fabric together with raw edges facing out and then flip in so the raw edges are underneath.
6) Take your unfinished bow tie piece that is now sewn together and put it through the opening of the band you just made.
7) Measure elastic to the boys neck & cut to size. Note: Make sure it is a few inches bigger so that way there is room around the collar for them to breathe.
8) String measured and cut elastic through the small opening of the bow tie band.
9) Sew elastic together and put raw edges in-between the bow tie band so you can not see it.
10) All Done!

7 months.

A little late, but better late than never. Indie is officially 7 months old! He can now sit up on his own and is learning to crawl! He is getting so big and he is such a precious little boy. We just adore him! Also, his hair is starting to grow back! I am so happy about that. It is growing in blonde, so it's hard to see, but it's there! He now is very interested in food and likes almost everything we give him. He also learned how to suck from a straw. I find it funny to watch him. He loves to be outside and also has found interest in any electronic within sight. I love this little boy, and i am looking forward to spending all summer outside with him!!

On a side note: My brother in law Kyle is getting married this weekend, so we will have all of the family together in Utah!
