Brooklyn and Bailey
So there is this adorable picture of Chris and his cousin Nick when they were little that I am in love with. It's cute little chunky monk Nick and Chris with his adorable peanut head, and the two of them are in a radio flyer wagon. I have been in love with this picture since Chris' mom Cindy showed it to me , in fact , I insisted that it be in our photo montage at our wedding. Tracy, Cindy, Cheri (Nick's mom) and I have always said it would be cute to get pictures of Bailey and Brooklyn in a little red wagon just like their Dads. Back in April we got them done. We met over at Cindy's house and Cindy's cousin took their pictures. They turned out really cute. If I can ever get my scanner to work I will post the old picture of Chris and Nick.
Bailey eating at Grandma's on picture day. She loved the good old olive fingers!
I think its so funny that she LOVES lemons.
Reading during a picture break
I love how she left Bailey's bow in color. Brooklyn is such a doll!
They are so beautiful and look just like their Dads.
The following pictures I took, so obviously I am not a photographer!
They dropped their ball...trying to entertain them. You should have seen me and Tracy jumping around trying to get these two to laugh. Quite hilarious!
Gotta love the crying shots!
So sweet
And I had to fit these in. I bought Bailey the cutest sun glasses and she actually loves wearing them. Here we are boating last weekend. Here are her old sun glasses from last year. Lisa calls them creepy!

Ashley's 8th Grade Graduation!
I can't believe Ashley is going to be in High School! Crazy. We went over to Susan's house and then over to Highland High School to watch her graduation. Well me and Bailey just walked around the whole time and we discovered that she can drink out of drinking fountains... so cute! After her graduation we headed over to Macaroni Grill to celebrate. It was fun.
We were at my Aunts before and she has a display of nut crackers and there's one that plays music and dances. All of us kids loved this one and we'd always want to watch it and listen to it. Bailey has found it... I am so in love with this picture! She is on her tippy toes trying to see it dance! Every time we go over there she always goes over to see it.Bailey, Me, Ashley and Lisa. It's funny we all kind of matched.
Love her
Ashley and Bailey

Camera
So, I know that I haven't posted anything in a while again- but my excuse is our camera broke. Any suggestions on a good camera that takes the picture right as you click?
We have been up to a lot of fun lately. I have been using a disposable camera but I am horrible about getting those developed. So sorry no new pictures. Now that the weather is nice we have been boating a lot. Chris and I bought a wakeboard boat last year:
so needless to say we were counting down the days till we could get it back on the water. We are LOVING it! Last year I didn't really get to enjoy the full extent of having a boat because Bailey was just 2 months old when we bought it and I was nursing her at that time. She also HATED being in her life jacket because she was an itty bitty thing so if she wasn't sleeping she was screaming. This year her life jacket fits her a lot better and she gets to walk around on the boat and loves pointing out the ducks and birdies that she sees. (Which is the cutest thing in the world I must say!) It is so fun to have her out on the boat with us. The other day just the three of us went out for a few hours and we had so much fun. I also didn't get a chance to wakeboard last summer because I was hurt a lot... and of course I took pictures of my battle wounds.
Here is my "tan toe" as Lisa called it. I broke it on Bailey's swing:
And of course we have to remember the time I got 2nd degree burns on my shin from a camp fire. (sorry these are gross but I just had to share)
Here is the big nasty blister:
And here is a pic I took at the doctors office right after they scrubbed the burns clean. This hurt soooo bad and I had to go in to have it done several times. And yes I have a little scar. Not too bad though considering how gross this looks!
This year is much better. I love wakeboarding! It is such a fun way to get a great workout. I am still sooo sore and that is from going only 4 times on Sunday! I hope to post pictures again soon!

Play time!
Danielle came over with Tristin. What a fun day we had. The weather was crappy so we just stayed in and played. Bailey and Tristin get along so well it is really cute. Poor Bailey had another fall so notice the bruise on her forehead. Poor girl!
The Sex and the City Movie is coming out next Friday so we got our tickets for it today. A bunch of us girls are getting together for a fabulous girls night to go see it. It will be a blast. So since I have the seasons on DVD we thought we would catch up on them while the kiddos were napping. I haven't just watched shows like that for a long time so it was nice and relaxing!
I have way cute pictures of boating over the weekend but I can't figure out how to get them on the computer. I used Lisa's old camera so when I figure that out I will post them! Bailey did sooo good on the boat. She loved it.
I think Bailey looks so beautiful in this picture. She is so sweet!
My BFF Danielle and Tristin
He could be a little model huh!
Danielle and I finally blew up a bounce house Bailey got for her birthday! I know I am bad its been 2 months but seriously I almost fainted trying to blow it up on my own! Just kidding I am just lazy! Next is the little pool Lisa got her! Here is a video of them playing. I don't know what happened to the sound but I can't stop laughing every time we watch it because we sound like the lollipop kids or something!

We're back!
Our internet was all messed up but it is finally up and running again so I can get back in touch with everyone! I had such an amazing Mother's Day weekend! We went over to Ed and Linda's for a brunch on Saturday because they are on a 3 week cruise in Europe and their plane left early on Mother's Day ! No fair! Linda started a blog and she is already updating it with pictures while they are on their cruise Here is the link to her blog. On Mother's Day I really wanted to go on a hike but Bailey wasn't feeling well so we decided to have a barbecue at our house with my Mom, Aunt Susan, Lisa, Ashley, Cindy, Bob and Adam. Lisa is amazing she made all the food. SOOOO yummy! It was such a nice and relaxing day and I am just so happy that Bailey made me a mommy. There really is nothing better in the world.
I just wanted to post a few pictures from the last couple weeks...
4 years ago at my old job I switched departments and I sat next to a really sweet girl Jen. It was so crazy because at the time I was planning my wedding and when we got to know each other I was telling her all about my wedding plans and it turned out that she got married at the same place on the same exact day the year before!!! How crazy is that! She is like my soul sister or something we have had a lot of things like that in common. She was so fun to work with! We lost touch once I quit to be a stay at home Mama, but my mom ran into her and got her number for me!!! So we got in touch and we are going to try to get our girls together a lot. Her daughter Abby is 2 and so adorable! Bailey loves all kids so of course they got along so well. I took some pictures when we took them to the aquarium.



When I am putting Bailey to bed before I rock her to sleep I bring her downstairs to say night night to Daddy. Adam and Erin were over a few weeks ago and when Bailey was giving her god night hugs she was so adorable so I took a few pictures.


I am just going to post a couple pictures from a camping trip we took a couple weeks ago. Chris' mom and Bob bought a new motor home so they invited us to go to the sand dunes with them. Bailey and I waited for Adam's girlfriend Erin to get off work and drove with her. Bailey loves exploring now so I just followed her all over the camp and Chris took her on her first little 4 wheeler drive. It was so cute while he was driving around the camp with her she was just singing the whole time. What a little sweetie she is!
Here is me and Bay with our camping chairs! My mom bought her the cutest little butterfly chair from her favorite show Miss Spider's sunny patch.


Chris wanted me to get a picture of her on his bike but she didn't like it very much so this is all I could get.
Wearing Grandma's gloves. She loves being center of attention!
Bailey and Grandma B.
Here is a little video of Bailey and Chris riding the 4 wheeler. My camera died right after so I wasn't able to get a better one. Oh well next time...
