Ballerina Baylee

Ballerina Baylee

Baylee started dance a few weeks ago. Every Monday we have a long day, but watching her and how much fun she has it is all worth it. Right now she has only three other little girls in her class, it is a perfect size. Her teacher is wonderful and Baylee does great. We wondered how she would do with paying attention, but have been a little surprised at how well this holds her attentions...especially compared to some of the other kids. This is bad, but it is the teacher in me and I am glad to know my kid won't have ADD.

Enjoying the few nice days left.

One of the few weekend days we have had in awhile where we are all home and Dale doesn't have to work on school all day. It is nice now that all the kids are old enough to play outside. The boys the swingset outside and are always climbing up the stairs to the swing, so we always trying to watch them or end up running after them because they move so fast up the stairs. Soon it will be cold and we will be stuck inside again, I don't know what the boys will do.

Princess Baylee's 4th Birthday

This weekend we had Princess Baylee's birthday party, she turned four. Wow, how time flys. We had a small gather of family for the royal event, one of her little friends came over and the two of them made their very own pricess hats. For the cake she wanted a castle for the princess, so this year I tested my cake decorating skills and even though it wasn't the perfect cake I wanted for her, it worked and everyone thought it looked great. She had a great time and made out pretty well.

Summer 08

It has been awhile since we have done an update. We will go back to the summer a little and then come back to now. This summer we were able to take the whole family by plane to California to see Dale's family. This was the first time we have traveled all of us together and on the plane no less. The flight there was horrible and the cranky people in front of us didn't help. We made it though and thank goodness the flight back was so much better. Overall, we had a great trip...we spent time with the family, took the kids to the beach for the first time, went to Muri Woods (like the Redwood Forrest), went to San Fransico. So our first family vacation went great.

Jessica and Brian's wedding

They did it, the two got married on July 18th on a perfect Saturday evening. The wedding was held at a winery in Kuna and the whole place was decorating in beautiful blues. We had a great time, it was a busy day of getting beautiful and spending time with friends. It was a first for the kids and man did they have fun on the dance floor, I had to carry Baylee out crying.

The boys first Hair Cut

On July 16th the boys had their first hair-cut at Sports Clips. It all started off good, but went downhill quickly when they decide to cut their hair at the same time. Both were screaming and wiggling all over, then we decided to try a sucker...oh man did that calm them down. After the candy both did pretty good, Caleb did want to sit much longer, so with all of the moving his hair ended up a bit shorter on his neck. It looks a little funny, but I guess with time it will grow back.
