First off... here are a couple of cute pictures I took of Bailey on Valentine's Day. She is a darling little girl! She looks so much older to me lately.
I tried getting a picture of her hair. I love that her hair is starting to get longer so I can try new cute styles out on her. I am sooooo glad I have a girl! :)
Sunday we headed up to Park City with Adam and Erin to go snowoarding. :) I seriously love snowboarding so much, every time I go I am so excited and wish I could go everyday. Bailey stayed at Grandma's house, but I thought about her the whole day. We saw so many little itty bitty girls skiing and I can't wait for her to learn. Definitely next year she will be hitting the slopes. We talked to a couple that had their 2 1/2 year old daughter skiing with them. They said she loved it! Chris and I can't wait to get Bailey up there with us! Ed taught Adam how to ski when he was two and said he wants to do the same for Bailey and I am all for it.
We couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was out pretty much the whole time, and I actually was surprised at how well I did. Adam and Erin weren't really with us that day, he was teaching her to board on the bunny hill. It was so much fun being just me and Chris, he took me to the jumps and rails and showed off how good he is. What a hottie! :) We met Adam and Erin for lunch and I told Erin that Chris and I were on an awesome run (Payday) and that she would probably like it more than the bunny hill. I personally always hated the bunny hill, even when I was learning. Well Chris and I ended up talking her into trying it out, but she ended up HATING it! She was in tears and actually found a snowmobile that took her the whole way down. I seriously felt so bad, I hope that doesn't make her want to quit. She said it wasn't that bad but that she didn't want to take the whole day on that one run so that made me feel a little better. I can't wait to get back up there it was really the perfect day...
Erin getting ready to learn... I bet her butt hurts like no other right about now!
Gotta get a shot of me.

The view...I love Park City!
Here we are taking Erin on her first real lift! She did pretty good getting off!
Totally wiped out afterward on the way home!

Happy Valentine's Day!
We started the day with heart shaped peanut butter pancakes, we sat at the dining room table watching the snow fall! Can't wait for dinner and a movie with my love! xoxo!

Bowling
Last month we went bowling with Lisa, Quin and their friends. We had so much fun! We used to go bowling here all the time with our friends but we haven't in quite some time I just didn't think Bailey would be into it. This was Bailey's first time and she loved it! We will definitely be returning soon.
Lisa, Me and Bebe
Strike!
You're up!
She loved when it turned into cosmic bowling with the black lights and loud music...

Memories!
I was tagged to post about my 6th picture in my 6th file....

So now......Mom, Lisa, Linda, Shanda, Janelle, Lindsay:

Bailey's first little snowman
Last week there was a huge snowstorm! We l*o*v*e the snow! (As long as I don't have to drive in it!) One of our favorite things to do during a snowstorm is bundle up on our couch and watch the snow fall. It is magical! We decided to build Bailey a snowman because she loves them so much... she is always wanting me to read her the "Snownun" book we have, and anytime we drive past a house with a snowman on the lawn she screams "Snownun!" It turned out that the snow wasn't exactly snowman-building-snow (I didn't even know that was possible) but we did it anyway. We just made a very small snowman just perfect for Bailey Boo!
Getting all bundled up...notice...We lost a glove so she has socks on one hand :)

B loves the snow!

So sweet!

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES
My blogging is totally pathetic. So here I go again trying to get back into it. Our life has been so crazy lately. In December I decided to register for school again. I am totally loving it! I am going to try to get into the Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ultrasound) or nursing programs. I have always been interested in the medical field, and as I was doing my research for these programs, I discovered that I have almost all the prerequesets done! Thanks to my many years of going to school but changing my major constantly! :) I would really like to do ultrasounds the most, but I found out the school only accepts 16 students for the program every 2 years, so I decided to also prepare myself for the nursing program so I don't have all my eggs in one basket. It has worked out perfectly as far as getting someone to watch Bailey while I have class. Chris works from home for the most part, so he watches her if he can, if he has to meet with clients my amazing mother-in-laws have helped out and I think it is so good for Bailey to have special time with them.
Another HUGE change is Chris and I have started going back to church. We have been going for a little over 2 months. It is so nice to go again. Bailey really like going and meeting the kids her age.
Bailey is so fun and she is growing up so fast. I can't believe she will be two next month. Time seriously flies by! We got a membership to Cottonwood Heights Rec center for Christmas, we love it! We go swimming a couple times a week and we love watching Chris do all his crazy jumps off the high dive. Chris got a seasons pass to Park City ski resort so he is busy doing that lately, with the pass he got a few buddy passes so I will be joining him as well! We love snowboarding! I haven't gone since the winter before I got pregnant so I am a little worried I am going to totally suck but oh well it will still be fun! I am loving the snow this year. Bailey loves it as well and we have played in it a ton! We built a snowman with her and have taken her sledding. It is so fun to live in the snow but I have to admit I miss the California winter too! My Mom and Dad are always calling and rubbing it in that they are in 80 degree weather. We are planning another trip to see them next month. We had been planning on doing a joint birthday party for Bailey and Ava for a while now(Bailey turns 2 on March 8th and Ava turns 1 on March 14), and my school schedule worked out perfectly for when their birthdays are! I will be on spring break the week after Bailey's birthday so we will be going home to California for a 10 day vacation!!!! Can't wait! I cannot believe Bailey is going to be at the age where we have to pay for a plane ticket for her. Since we will be flying there the week after she turns two we had to pay FULL PRICE for her! Insane! I can't wait to get back to Disneyland with her. Since our last trip she is smitten over "Coco" for some reason that is her name for Minnie and Micky mouse. She has to sleep with Coco every night.
