The bug...

       One's mess is another's treasure!


In the beginning... a MESS for sure! & some rockin flames.



 



Sanding & more Bondo...
roof of an old 50's bug.  This bug didn't have a rag top, but one was installed by the previous owner. They held it in with screws so Rayne redid the whole thing!



 EWWW.
 A diamond in the rough!



 Hours & days later. Oh! did i mention cans & cans of Bondo?
All ready for paint!




 Beautiful paint by Drew!

 all together now.

Maylee growing up!







 Maylee at 6 months! SO CHUBBY!  One of my favorite stages for sure... she was starting to crawl (@ 7 months), get teeth (@ 5 months), and she was so happy ALL the time. LOVE it!! Huge explorer...she was getting into everything!


                                                                              
           



 ONE! A great year for us all!! It was so fun to watch her grow and learn. We had a small birthday party for her at Rayne's mom & dads house... and she got so many fun things to play with. Spoiled for sure! She was starting to thin out, but she still had those chunky little legs!












ONE & A HALF.  speaking... and moving! She was saying small words, but that was nothing compared to how she got around. She was/is so active!! I swear all the chasing kept me in shape! We just loved it!









2! talking more (@ her own speed), but what she knew was enough for her... she definitely understood so much. We had a party at the park for her and she got her first bike!
