What we've been up to...

So I haven't posted in awhile, usually that results in phone calls and emails from my mom. She would be happy if I could post pictures every few minutes, just so she can keep up with Bailee. My little sister Tami has been here for a couple of weeks, and somehow the only pictures I got of her was at her last day of Basketball camp, and well...I think I've lost those. We really haven't done much of anything. By the time we're all ready to do something, it's time for lunch and naps. Then it seems when Bailee gets up it's time to make dinner. That's pretty normal for me, I'm used to it. Hopefully Tami hasn't been too bored.

We did get to go to Annie and Stretch's reception last week. It was beautiful! Luke thought we were never going to get there, but when we did, it was worth the drive. (We're so happy for you guys!)

Mostly we've played out side, run errands, and watched movies. Bailee's current favorite is Lady and the Tramp. I'm ready for her to pick a new favorite. :)

I really think that's about it. I can't believe the summer is almost over! I've been starting to think about Fall because the new Close To My Heart Fall/Winter Idea book will be arriving soon. I like to plan ahead, but I'm really not ready for summer to end! Though maybe some new fall product will get me in the mood to scrap last years fall pictures and move on from the millions of pool/water pictures I've been working with.

Bailee loves green beans! She ate almost the whole can by herself!

Bailee's First Haircut

If you'd ask me 7-10 years ago if I'd ever let my cousin Jackie cut my hair (or my child's hair) I would have looked at you like you were crazy and probably laugh. Not a chance. But, she did move up here and go to hair school and I heard that she does a really good job. So I asked her to give Bailee a bit of a trim. Bailee was such a good sport. She liked wearing the monster apron, and really didn't move around a lot. Jackie did a great job, we didn't cut any length off, just trimmed it a little and cut her bangs back.

Jackie was also kind enough to bring along her boyfriend, Marshall, who tried to fix my computer. He did get it running much faster, for which I am extremely grateful. I guess the other issue will just have to continue until we buy a new computer.

I also got a haircut, but still haven't taken a picture. It looks pretty much the same as the last time I had it cut. Thanks Jackie! (and Marshall!)

Bailee's Bike

Bailee had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's, but she was glad to be home. She took her new bike out for a ride, and didn't even mind wearing the helmet. When I asked her where she wanted to go, she told me "Anne's house". So we rode down the street to Anne's house.

When we arrived at Anne's, Bailee looked at me and said "I made it Mom, I made it!" She was so cute. But Anne wasn't home. We'll have to visit again sometime soon, we want to meet Anne's new baby sister!

And look what was waiting for us when we returned from Nevada!!! A FENCE! I am so super excited about it. Now we'll just wait for them to put the privacy slats in.

Fire Works!

Despite the look on her face, Bailee actually did enjoy the fireworks.
