July 4th Parade!





Short and sweet. The Alamo parade was maybe 15 minutes, and it went around the block twice. Thats my idea of a parade.

Bailee's first Pitching Lesson

Grandma gave Bailee her first pitching lesson at softball practice. Bailee loves to throw the ball and already has quite an arm. We'll have to keep working with her, but really, not this early. :) First she needs to decide if she's going to be a lefty or a righty.



Ash Springs

Grandma took us Swimming to Ash Springs. It's a hot spring near our house. Bailee loved the water, of course. She didn't love the fishies nibbling on her toes.

Another horse story

This horse has been at R-Place for as long as I can remember. I'm sure that I rode it as a little kid. I remember that it used to cost 1o cents. Now they have it rigged so it's free, you just push the button.
Bailee loves to ride it. She'd stay all day if I'd let her.
After loading Cocoa up, we stopped at R-Place to ride the horse and have an ice cream. Oh, and go to the potty a hundred times. I don't know what her fascination with public potties is, but she always has to go check out the potty when we go somewhere.
When we were leaving there was this cute little baby goat outside. Bailee loved it! She was petting it and then grabbed it's collar and tried to walk it around. Now she wants Grandma and Grandpa to get a goat.

Come Here Cocoa!

Bailee thinks going to Grandpa's means riding Uncle Carl's horse, Cocoa. Grandpa of course does whatever Bailee wants. She's a little too spoiled. So when she asked for Uncle Carl's Cocoa, Grandpa hooked up the trailer.
Bailee wanted to carry the rope. (Halter)
Bailee: "Mom, I hear the cows."
Mom: "Yeah, talk to them."
Bailee: "Hi Cows."
Mom: "No, talk to them with their words. Say 'Moo, Moo.'"
Bailee: "Silly Mom!" and she turned and walked away.
"Here Cocoa, come to me!"
