If you want to feel rich...

just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

1. LOVE
I've got love, love, love, love, love by the spoonfuls!
My God, my family, my friends. 

2. Kye Rance Baker
My sweet baby boy. My little man. My Bubba, My Buckaroo, My Kyekee.   He's the most wonderful little tooterbill there ever was! 

3. Kamdon Ray Baker
...I love to watch you laugh & smile, I love to watch you dream...I love it when you take my hand just to let me know you believe in me. And I love it that you're my girl, I love that I'm your man...now that you're in my life, baby I know exactly who I am... 

Faith, Trust, Joy, Smiles, Favorite songs playing on the radio, beautiful skies...starry nights...gorgeous photographs, hearing my Pa call me Babydoll, hearing my dad calling me Poothead...memories of days spent horseback with my sister and swimming in the waterfall to cool off on hot days...talking flowers with my Momma...my husband's laugh (My heart leaps inside my chest when he gives a good belly laugh)...bathtime with Kyeboy. 

O how the Lord has provided a rich life for us all, if only we know where to look. 

I am rich.  Rich with family and friends. Rich with dreams, memories, hopes and faith. I am rich with laughter, joy and the knowledge that well behaved women rarely make history...so let's face it folks - I'm bound for the history books! ;)


God is great.  Life is good. And me and my Baker boys are just plain crazy RICH! (Or maybe we're just crazy!!!)

Peace, Love & Unworldly gifts,

6 months old!

Kye Rance Baker turned 6 months old last Friday and because I'm fabulous, I'm just now posting about it! OOPS.  I cannot believe it has been half a year since my precious little man was born.

Getting to know Mini-Bake:

1. Kye is saying DADA all the time.
2. He is rolling over and has started liking being on his tummy, finally!
3. He is eating 2 containers of food at each setting...he's a growing boy!
4. Kye loves his toys and has figured out how all the sounds and lights work on them. It's so fun to watch him learn!
5. He's been to three states in 6 months!
6. He's sitting up with very little help and loves standing and "walking" while holding my fingers
7. His favorite game is the grunting game! He makes these grunting noises and we make them back at him...this can go on for a very long time and it never gets old!
8. He is sleeping 10-12 hours a night in his own room.
9. His favorite book is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I guess it's all the crazy pictures!
10. He LOVES being outside and is so curious about the world around him.
11. Our walks are some of my favorite times with him.
12. He has said MAMA four times now.
13. He has two glorious little teeth right in the front. They are adorable!
14. His hair is finally starting to grow and it sticks up everywhere! I oil it down and it still sticks up! :)
15. He loves music! We sing "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've love in my tummy" at dinner time. He also loves 'Wagon Wheel' and all of Kam's silly made up tunes. Every morning he wakes up smiling and we sing "rise and shine & give God the GLORY GLORY!!" 
16. He laughs and smiles all the time and is such a happy little boy, but when he is mad he is mad all over!

God has truly blessed Kam and I. Kye is a perfect gift from above and I thank God for him daily.

Little Man - 6 months & 2 days old


I'm sure I'm forgetting a million things, he changes everyday. He is o so much fun and an absolute joy!!

Peace, Love & KRB,

The Land of Oz

Kye and I traveled North to see my cousin Courtney and her girls, Rylie & Rein, earlier this week. They are living in Kansas on a ranch and it is really pretty country. It's just north of the Oklahoma panhandle near Meade, KS.
We had lots of plans, but the weather had different plans. It rained and hailed all night the first night and rained most the day the second day I was there, but we did get out and visit Dorothy's House, a really terrible museum about the Wizard of Oz, located in Liberal, KS.  We got a big kick out of it, Courtney and I did!


Court, Dorothy, ToTo & I
Munchkins!

Kye had a big time with his cousins Rylie and Rein, Rylie was a big helper and liked giving him his bottles. Rein wasn't too sure about Little Man, but sure enjoyed his toys!

Rein & Kye...just a swangin'!

Kye & Sister Sue

Serious face!

Rylie Roo rode back to LBK with me!!
The morning before we headed back, we road around the ranch on the roads that weren't too boggy.  We had lots of fun and took a few pictures too! 

An awesome bright pink pumpjack!
Kansas
Storm moving in
Kye has been to three states since he was born. New Mexico, Oklahoma & Kansas. He's a traveling fool!  


Peace, Love & The Land of Oz,
