RIP Sweet Bayleigh

She loved her sister!!
Christmas pictures with my baby bump!

My sweet baby girl!!She helped paint Paisley's room!

Best sisters a little girl could ask for!

This was my favorite picture of her!

I'm so sad to say but my sweet baby Bay got ran over yesterday! :( It's been a hard weekend, she was such a good dog, I miss her so much. I have no one sitting in my lap as I type this up, no one to greet me when I get home, well Clowie does buttt it's not the same! I'm going to miss her soo much! My stomach still churns when I think about it, it was definitely not something I expected to ever happen to her...she's not a car chaser! Everyone keeps trying to get me another one, I don't want one she's irreplaceable. Our next dog will be when Paisley can pick it out in a few years. Rest in peace my Sweet girl!

Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo w/ Trek

We went and visited the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo yesterday! We had a lot of fun looking around, but my main mission was to get some good "TEXAS" pictures of Trek. As stated before in my blog Trek is a baby that has a disease that will take his life by the time he's 3, he is only a few weeks older than my sweet girl so it really has hit me hard. We have been doing everything we can to help support this family, right now we are hosting a Scentsy Fundraiser so if that's something your interested in check it out at www.jennydavenport.scentsy/us. You can also see more at any of these sites:

There are many things going on to support the Ingram's!

So here are some of our pictures of our day!

Paisley's first time to try dip in dots & she loved them!

I got some strange looks when taking this picture! LOL

Trek with the Longhorn!

Mommy, Paisley, & Trek heading in to check out the cows!

The chickens, like her cowgirl boots?

She really enjoyed the baby chicks!

Week 45

This week was a good one butttt a bad one at the same time. You got hand mouth and foot...but thankfully it was a very mild case. We went to the doctor Thursday and said that every child needs to get it and she is very impressed with Paisley's case, her case would be every parents wish! So we took that as a good thing and went on, it didn't really effect you much just a light fever. I have no clue how you got it maybe from the neighbors grandson but there is no telling, this is contagious before fever hits so no one knows if their child has it. Mommy got to stay home 3 days this week and we played a lot! We almost had a walker but, you'd just rather stand for now.

You know nose & eyes and you want to show us constantly, but when people come around the tricks are over! You can also tell us no & shake your head when you don't want something. Daddy tried feeding you something and you said no & shook your head. You also like secrets, you will lean your ear to our mouth while we make whispering noises, it's the cutest thing.

Gunner had shots on Monday so Mommy got to stay home, it was a beautiful day sow e played outside!

We even went to visit Grandpa at work!

This is the shelf that we have so many arguments about, as well as those bowls beside it! At that moment you were pointing at a picture of Daddy saying "Dada".

I was trying to take a picture to show Daddy the bump on your lip that made me think you may have hand mouth and foot..but it's a pretty cute pic!

See the bumps on the toes...that's as bad as it got.

Sharing your goldfish with Bay, you love your cup of snacks.

Fine I can't drive...I'll ride!!

Cheeseburger!!!

Someone got a big girl seat & loves it!!! I read magazines on road trips, haha!!

Week 44

Standing up all on your own is so exciting to you that you clap...that throws off your balance and BAM you fall down! I get frustrated for you b/c you want to do it so badly, we are working on it!

You are so smart you can show anyone where their nose is! We are working on eyes this week!

Miss Independent!

This is the only way to keep you entertained when I'm cooking dinner!

What you don't keep your feet on the table when you're eating?! Weirdo!

This is serious business mom...bedtime must wait!

My sweet baby!

You wanted Gunner so bad!

What better way to celebrate getting into the double digits than with Sweet Pea the CLOWN at Chic Fil A?! Happy 10 months my little sweet pea! Her face was priceless!!!

Eating at Chi Fil A, it was a total hit!

It was such a pretty day so we went and watched Travis & Stephie play golf! I figured you'd get bored but you loved it!

You were a big help you carried the putter!

10 Months Old

Holy Cow you are in the double digits!!!

You weigh 20 lbs 13 oz

You are doing very good on the Similac Advance, thankfully!!!

Tonight is your last dose of previcid, you have only been taking 1/4 of a pill so I think you will do fine.

You eat whatever we eat for each meal. You eat a lot, like sometimes I think you may pop!! I started ordering you kids meals at some restaurants. You can't have fruit juice anymore, so you love ice water! We had to do away with the P fruits b/c you were getting diarrhea...total opposite who knows! We have been eating a lot of bananas, you love them b/c you can squish them between your fingers!

You are wearing anything from 9-12 months in clothing, and 2-3 in shoes.

Still no teeth.

You can now put yourself to sleep for naps and bedtime, and if you wake up in the middle of the night you can put yourself back to sleep. :)

You only take a paci during naps and at night, I do cave sometimes in the car if it's close to nap time or if you hurt yourself.

You aren't walking yet, but you do stand. I think next month we will have a walker to report about.

I've mastered many different concepts to putting a diaper on a moving child...it gets interesting. Sometimes singing will make you stay still, some of your favorites are:

Say Say Ole Play Mate

Old McDonald

If You're Happy & You Know It

B-I-N-G-O

You can show me my eyes and nose.

You say Dada A LOT! Mama when your sleepy or mad...and CAAA all the time!

You still high five & point...and you've given a few sugars!! :)

Scentsy bars are one of your favorite things to get so you can slide across the floor on them. We have a battle of the shelf in the entry room where the scentsy bars live...this is also where the dogs food is...if you are being too quiet i know your in the water bowls! We have had several arguments about this!! The bathroom too is a place you like to go to get into trouble!!! Little Monster, you are your Daddy's child!

You love it outside, hopefully the weather will be good and we can go watch Daddy race one weekend!! (:

Trek Atlas Fundraiser

This little boy has made such an impact in my life, so I want to be sure to include this in your blog so you too know how precious life is!

I’ve felt a lot of compassion for this family since I watched a video of their journey that a friend of mine posted on Facebook, this is actually her niece, from that moment on my life has been forever changed. I’ve learned to never take a second for granted b/c even our babies aren’t promised tomorrow. That’s hard for me to grasp b/c such small innocent little angels can be taken from you when they should grow up to be Grandmas and Grandpas and enjoy life! I’ve learned to let the busyness of life sit on the back burner to be sure my sweet girl gets lots of hugs and kisses each day!

Trek is a few weeks older than Paisley so it hits me pretty hard, when Trek was 9 months old he was diagnosed with Neimann Pick Type A that will take his life between 18 months and 3 years of age. I couldn’t imagine going each day knowing that I’m one step closer to the end of my precious baby’s life….like his mother had stated in her blog she feels like she’s in a torture chamber, I think that’s the only way to describe it. Even through this tragedy they have been faced with this family is so strong and is making the best of each and every moment they have left with their sweet boy Trek Atlas! Trek’s father is an author so they are traveling while he writes his books, Trek’s mother home schools the boys wherever they might be. This family’s dream is just to enjoy their boys and travel, and I want to see that they are able to do this.

From Chelsea’s Blog:
“So much has been swirling through my head this past two weeks, sometimes it is unbearable and I want to die, sometimes I just feel numb. But one thing keeps bothering me and I have to do something about it.
I want Trek to have 1 stamp on his passport.
I am not sure where we are going to go or for how long. I just know that I want to travel to another country just us 5, just like we have been planning for the past 6 months. Somewhere sunny and beautiful and where we can all go out to eat for 5 bucks.
I heard this song awhile ago and almost cried with how much it reminded me of my boys and how I wanted them to leave ‘their ninja footprints all over the world’. Even though Trek won’t be there for all of our adventures, I want to start them with him.”

I hope you will join me in this fundraiser to help this family enjoy each day with their boys, I don’t want for one second them to have to even worry about money, just love up on those boys every chance they get!! There are several fundraisers going on so if Scentsy isn’t for you that’s completely fine, maybe you want to donate to the Coffee fundraiser, or the Trek Atlas bracelets, or maybe even just donate money to the cause. If you can’t afford to donate don’t worry there are a few other things you can do that will be greatly appreciated: this family just wanted to travel, reasoning behind Treks name, so Trek’s Aunt has come up with a great idea, wherever you are you take pictures of the Flat Trek email the pictures back and she will be making a book. It’s as if Trek has traveled miles and miles!!!! If you don’t have time for that Trek’s Dad asks that at 10:00 each night you pray for Trek’s comfort b/c nights are his hardest! My baby is the most important thing in my life so as a mother I couldn’t imagine going through this, so please do what you can to make this little boy’s life as wonderful as possible under this awful circumstances.

Starting March 1st my mother and I will host a Scentsy fundraiser to support the Ingram family. Through this fundraiser my goal is to send $2,000.00 to the Ingram family, anything over that is a total blessing! Through Scentsy we make 25% commission and we will be donating 23%, we need to sell around $9,000.00. All orders will be delivered to your door, this is an online party so you just have to go to www.jennydavenport.scentsy.com and place your order under the TREK ATLAS FUNDRAISER. I will keep this open as long as we keep getting orders, just be sure to order under TREK ATLAS FUNDRAISER so I can keep up with whats what. All orders will be shipped directly to your door so within 7-10 days you should have a package at your door step. The great thing is we now have a few new lines avalible: Layers- our body and laundry line & Scentsationally Sent- our card line! The wickless candles are amazing, the body line I’m now in love with, I am so crazy about the laundry products, and the cards are simply adorable! Feel free to pass this on to your friends, together we can make a difference in the Ingram’s life!

I hope this family will touch your heart as much as they have touched mine, my heart just aches for them. I thank you all for reading this and thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give this family in their time of need!

God Bless,

Danielle Penney

This is the Flat Trek, we will be taking him to the Houston Live Stock show and rodeo to show Trek some of our cowboy/girl ways!

The Ingram Family at Disney a few weeks after learnign of Treks disease.


Sweet Trek!

Week 43

This week you have been dancing like crazy! Anytime a song comes on there you go shaking your booty and your head, it's so stinkin' cute! You have also started standing up on your own, just out of no where we will look and your standing up with no assistance. I'm not sure I'm ready for you to be walking yet!

Ms. Schelli finished painting your toy box, isn't it beautiful! It's a little large for your room so I think we are going to move one of your dressers into the spare room. You picked up where you left of and got right back in it!!

Daddy put Bay in there too....I don't think she enjoys it as much as you do!

I got you this chair b/c I hate that you have to sit on the floor all the time...I don't think you were quite ready for it yet b/c you just put your toys in it.

I was doing a Scentsy order & I would write the name and what the owed on this pad of paper. I looked up and you had drawn this masterpiece, I couldn't believe that you knew that the pen goes with the paper & didn't even try and write on yourself or the floor. Scentsy orders are fun with you if I try and empty the box you refill it, if I try to put things away you take them out!

The Scentsy bars not only make your house smell good...they entertain your kids too!! (Good sales pitch?)

Someone got Mommy's phone & somehow took pics!!

So drinking the water in the bathtub is all you do in the tub...whether it be from the faucet or from your cup I use to rinse the water out of your hair!

I was told to leave y'all a lone you were playing games! Sheesh!

You eat anything we eat & do a great job feeding yourself. You love to share with your sippy cup, it grosses Daddy out when you put your food in the spout of your cup! Haha!

Some of the sneak peeks Robin gave us! She asked if you could model some of her friends clothes so we go this week for a photo shoot! Wahoo more pictures, mommy loves pictures & you love Robin so it works out well!

Another sneak peek!

Aunt Crystal wanted to see the pictures, so Robin showed her how Miss Priss likes to stick out her tongue! Goofy!
