Dog Lake

Last Friday after Chris got off work we went on a hike up Millcreek Canyon to Dog Lake. Canyon rarely leaves our house, so Chris thought we should take him on a hike. I was very hesitant because he is not great with other dogs. He actually did so good and we even took him off his leash at the lake so he could go for a swim. We haven't taken Canyon swimming at a lake in about 5 years and he loved it. It was so cute. The hike was pretty much up hill the entire 1.8 miles to the lake so we went pretty slow. Canyon was out the whole rest of the weekend...I think we need to do this hike once a week to get him back in shape...he weighs 120 lbs!!! It was such a fun evening as a family!

At the trail head there were some horses and Bailey really wanted to pet them...look how little Canyon looks next to this horse!

Canyon was so excited that we weren't holding the leash on the way down he was so slow we didn't need to!

{4th of July}

We had such a fun filled 4th of July weekend. We went to Yuba Reservoir for camping and boating with our friends. {Didn't take any pictures there} It was a blast. Bailey did so good camping she played hard so at the end of the day she actually asked me to go to bed and then slept in way past us! Maybe we need to camp more often if that's how it's going to be! Bailey pretty much didn't sit down the entire time we were there. She was loving it! We were in a huge group site that was really great. We had 5 families there and lots of kids for her to play with. We spent a lot of time on Dave's boat, swimming in the lake, and they had a huge parking lot area so the kids spent a huge chunk of time riding on their scooter's and bikes as the parents chatted! Bailey became quite obsessed with everyone's razor scooters...she would barely touch her bike! We promised her that if she was good camping we would get her one when we got home. Right when we unpacked we went and got her a barbie one she really deserved it.

It was nice to be home on the 4th of July. We spent most of the day being lazy and recuperating from camping then headed over to Ed and Linda's house for a BBQ in the afternoon. So much fun to spend the 4th with family. At the end of the night we did a little fireworks with the kids. It was a nice and relaxing day!

Linda was holding Kinley (Bay's baby cousin) and Bailey asked if she could hold her. Linda said yes, but you have to wash your hands. Bailey ran as quick as she could and washed her hands and this is her sweet little face as she was getting to hold Kinley. I love how excited she is!
She will be such a great big sister! She loves babies.

I love her little face in the picture, she loved the fireworks.

Movie in the park...

Last Friday night the park by our house had a fun family movie in the park. They had set up a bounce house, a huge slide, the Scales and Tails guy brought a bunch of lizards and snakes to show the kids, and then they played Megamind at dusk! Bailey had a blast and every time we go to this park she asks if the party is there again.

Days at the pool...

We spend most of our days at the pool, we love it! I am sure I will post many more pics from the pool this summer and here are a few from last week...

Me and my girl...

Such a cutie!


She kept spraying this boy in the face with the water. She was laughing so hard and so was I! He was loving it too!

It's a BOY!!!

I had my ultrasound yesterday and we were so excited to find out it is a boy! It will be so fun having a girl and a boy! I am still in shock a little bit, it is going to be so weird shopping for boy stuff when it's been all about pink and princesses for the past 4 years! Bailey was pretty upset when we told her it is a boy. She was dead set on having a little sister. I told her that her little brother wanted to get her a present because he loved her so much which made her pretty happy with him! :) I went and picked out a new Polly Pocket pool and she was so excited and started saying "Aw he is soooo nice, Thank you little Brudder!" So cute! Bribery always works I guess! :) We decided we are going to name him Ryder. We both love it and it was the only name we both liked!

Here are some pictures from the ultrasound... he is quite the little wiggle worm, it was really hard to get any still pictures of him during the ultrasound. No wonder I feel him kicking all the time!

Sweet little profile
Ultrasounds are always so hard to figure out what you are looking at! I believe this is looking at him from below, with his legs in a sitting position?

Scary skull face haha!
Sweet little hand!

School's out for summer!!!

Bailey has been in her first year of preschool and last week was the end of the year party! It was so fun for her. First her class did a cute performance and were given awards. Bailey got the award of "Super Student" for her age group. Then we had a picnic, face painting, made bird feeders and played at the park. She has loved being in school. She has made so many new friends and has learned so much. Her teachers say she is always right where she is supposed to be, loves volunteering and is basically a perfect student. We are so proud of her!

Bailey and her class walking out with their graduation caps that they made! So sweet...
Sitting and performing with her class...I have to admit I cried a little haha! She is just growing up so fast!



Here are some pics I took afterward at the picnic...
Face painting...


After her party we headed to the swimming pool... My girl is quite the poser! Makes me laugh!


When Chris got home from work we celebrated the end of the school year with our friend Dave and his son Trey by doing some fireworks and having a bonfire in the backyard! A perfect summer night! We are so excited for summertime! Yay bring on the pool, camping, boating, fireworks, hiking, parks, popsicles and Lisa's wedding!

It's been a while...

Well once again it has been way too long since I have blogged! Life happens and I just never get around to it. I thought I would update my blog with the biggest news we have had in a long time... I am pregnant with our second baby! We are so excited. My due date is 11-11-11 which would be pretty cool if the baby actually came that day. I found out I was pregnant right after I came home from visiting California in March. I was super sick on my visit with pneumonia so I didn't even realize it was morning sickness mixed in as well! I really didn't think I could get pregnant that fast. I was actually pregnant right before this baby but had a miscarriage in February, so I thought it would take a while for my body to recover after the miscarriage but no... I actually got pregnant the week after I miscarried! So crazy! I am now 18 1/2 weeks and we find out the sex of the baby next week! We can't wait to find out. Bailey really wants a girl and Chris really wants a boy. I am mixed in what I want... so good thing I don't have to chose! This will be our last baby, so it would be fun to have one of each but I also would love for Bailey to have a sister. We seriously cannot wait to find out!

Here is a pic of me at 17 weeks...can't suck in anymore lol!



Here is an ultrasound pic of the baby at 12 weeks. So cute!
