Christmas morning 2006!

I woke up super early Christmas morning because I was hungry. I then wanted to go back to sleep but my mom and dad dragged me into the living room to open up gifts! I forgot it was Christmas! DO you like my new P.J.'s? Mom made them for me. She wanted us to all match and all day we were called the dot family. Now one of my nicknames is Dottie!

She already loves football!

She already loves football like her daddy! She even dreams about football. We got to watch the Las Vegas Bowl with the Hinton family. Mom and Dad's favorite team was playing BYU. We had to dress up for the occasion to cheer them on. BYU crushed Oregon. GO COUGARS!!!

Christmas Eve 2006!

I couldn't help but sleep on Christmas Eve so Christmas would come faster! I dreamed that Santa came and I got a present. Grandma and Grandpa great was there too! All the family was there and we had a talent show, lots of food, and a nativity scene! What a great way to start Christmas.

Christmas with the Catmull's

SPENDING AN EARLY CHRISTMAS UP IN UTAH WITH THE CATMULL'S! I GOT TO SEE MY COUSIN AND AUNT AND UNCLE'S AND GRANDMA AND GRANDPA GREAT FOR THE FIRST TIME! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

My big fat belly!!

Trav was there for me through all my up and downs with pregnancy! He is a great dad and a terrific husband! I can't believe I was this big, but from behind you can't even tell I have a big tummy!

Taking R.J. home!!

WE FINALLY GOT TO TAKE HER HOME! CARSEAT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT BUT WE DID IT!

First bath

The first bath was not so fun for Raylee! That was the first time Travis and I heard her cry. But boy did she need one!

Raylee is finally here!!

She's here!!! We were so happy she was here! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and wonderful baby. Although she looked a lot like Travis she had some Shantell in her!

In the hospital waiting for Raylee to come!

We were so EXCITED for Raylee to be almost here! All the pain from the contractions was worth it! We just couldn't wait to see her!

My first Halloween!!

My first halloween I spent in the hospital! I had an incredible visitor. It was my Mr. Incredible Doctor who took such good care of my mom and me! I slept most of the time but I dreamed of the candy I would get from my mom's milk!!
