Cabellas and Softball

Grammy and Grampy S. came to visit for a few days. In between shopping we managed to do some work in the yard and get Trina's wedding invites mostly finished.

Bailee and Grampy loved feeding the fish at Cabella's. Bailee also really likes looking at all of the animals.

Grampy decided before he even got here that Bailee needed to start practicing softball. They got her a tee, softball, bat, and glove. Maybe by the time she can actually play t-ball, she'll know what's going on.

Bailee liked hitting the ball ok, but her favorite part was running after the ball when someone else hit it.

We were on our way to dinner one night and Bailee decided we were going on a "Safari Date". Not sure where that came from, maybe because she was wearing her "safari" hat?? She sure loves playing with her grandparents and being spoiled by them.... Thanks Mom and Dad for all your help while you were up here. (we always have a list of things for dad to help with.)

Go Cougs...How 'bout the Rebels?

Happy Birthday Grampy!
Today was Grampy's birthday and we took him to the BYU vs UNLV football game. On our way Luke joined the Mtn. challenge. He did awesome! (He also did a 'dance' challenge. We'll have to post a video link when we get it.)

We had our traditional pre-game pizza. Bailee loves pizza, she was so excited.

Grampy let Bailee wear his hat. She thought it was fun to tease us. On our way to the game she kept saying "Go Cougars, Go Cougars." At one point I echoed her and said "Go Cougars." She looked at me and said "How 'bout the Rebels?" We all cracked up. There were a few UNLV fans among us, so Grampy wasn't alone.

Luke's prediction was pretty darn close. BYU beat the Rebels 42-35.

Pumpkins!

Grammy and Grampy grew Bailee 6 pumpkins! Grammy brought some really fun things to decorate them with, no mess! Bailee thought they were great.

Here are most of her pumpkins! We saved a couple to carve in the coming week.

peek-a-boo!

The second big thing...

I feel confident in saying that Bailee is potty trained! I am so proud of her! It took a lot of time, and was hard for both of us. But we stuck with it, and it was so worth it. Bailee is such an amazing little girl, she is so grown up. I am so thankful to have her in our little family! I can't believe she is going to be 2 in about a week and a half! Where has the time gone! It's so fun to watch her learn and grow. I love listening to her sing songs, count to thirteen, and sing her abc's. (her version is A, B, C, D, K, M, O) We'll keep working on it. We are so proud of you Bailee!

While I was at girls camp, she stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. She had so much fun with them! They went fishing, rode horses, visited friends and family, rode 4-wheelers, fed and played with the chicken babies and piggies, and who knows what else. I'm excited to see the pictures.

She made the cutest card for Luke for Fathers day. I asked her if Grandma helped her make it. She said "No, Tressa help me make it." So then I asked if Tami helped her too. "No, Tressa help me." It has been fun to listen to Bailee tell me all about her trip. She remembers who they visited and what they did.

Apparently, she doesn't like to catch real fish. She thinks fishing is casting your line and reeling it back in. If she had it her way we'd leave the pink rubber fish tied to her pole and skip the worm and hook.

I'll post some pictures when I get them back!
