my cute girls!

I know they look totally different but you can still tell they are sisters.... right?

Check out those blue eyes!

The other morning Bailey woke up way too early and I convinced her to lay back down with me, she eventually feel asleep but then sat straight up, eyes open and everything, and started saying, 2,9,6,7,8,14,2,7,9,5,6,7... rolled over and went back to sleep! I am glad that it was an educational outburst, preschool is totally paying off.

I can't believe how much hair Bailey has, it still bounces up to her shoulders if we let it go curly.

Oh, Sophie, what a sweetie! She is like the energizer bunny, she just keeps going and going and climbing and falling and climbing again and on and on.... She has been doing some fun stuff lately. First of all gotta love all those teeth, don't worry we are saving for the braces already!

You will notice in this picture that she is standing up all by herself!! She is such a big girl. She has been pulling her self up and standing for a while, about a month ago she started grabbing onto the doll stroller and walking with it and about two days ago she just stood up and took a couple steps!! Kyle and I were having her go back and forth between us and she was taking two or three steps, it wont be long now and she is going to be on the move!! I haven't decided yet if that is a good thing or not, you can totally see the mischieve in her eyes...

You are probably wondering what is up with this picture but it is Sophie's first ponytail! She has just enough to stick in a hair band, its so cute! and of course we have to accessorize with a flower!

She is SO much fun! I love her personality!

October fun.

My friend Kara and I took the kids to a little "pumpkin patch" thingy just down the road. I think the kids enjoyed it. They got to do a little fishing.

I think their favorite was the bounce house/slide. The tried to go down the slide as many times as they could in their allotted time. Luckily it wasn't too big and Bailey could do it on her own.

Poor Sophie and Jackson were stuck in the strollers the whole time. They just are not quite big enough yet.

Pre-School

Bailey is now in pre-school! Can you believe it! She has been going for 2 weeks now and seems to really enjoy it. It is only twice a week for two hours, which is plenty for now. I was sooo shy, or maybe just indifferent, as a kid I don't ever want that for my kids. I think this is good for her social skills!
Here are the girls waiting to go in the room the first day. The hard part is that it is right during Sophie's nap time so I usually have to wake her up to pick Bailey up.

All I wanted was one picture of her but she want to go play, so I told her just smile and let me take a picture then you can go play and this is what she gave me... technically it is a smile!

They have a fun play area, its the kitchen that first caught her eye.

and this was my attempt at taking a picture of the two of us...ya....

apple juice and a pony!

I have been wanting to post this for a while but I have been waiting on pictures. We were able to go to Pioche for labor day weekend and we had so much fun with all of our family! Of course we had to have a birthday party for Bailey with the Donohue clan! Kyles parents were asking Bailey what she wanted for her birthday and she told them she wanted apple juice and a pony. They asked her if she wanted a little toy pony to play with and she told them "no, one that you can ride!" Not too demanding.... Kyle tried to tell them they had plenty of room for a pony in their yard, but they weren't really going for it. One thing about Kyles parents is that they LOVE Bailey (and there other grand kids too.) Kyles dad especially, Bailey and Papa are best buds! She was the first and only one for a long time and they would do anything for her. I don't think they have ever told her no before. So Shonna said I'll take care of the apple juice and Paul you get to take care of the pony.

I don't know how well you can see Baileys face but she got her pony! Not your traditional pony granted, but some major "horse" power non the less! There are also pony's on the car! They were so excited to give it to her it was the first thing they did when we got there. I wish we had our video camera out because it was classic! Her reaction was awesome, they opened the garage door and it was sitting there with a flashing light on the hood, balloons tied to the back, and a big card with Baileys name on it. Bailey did the quick intake of air while throwing her hands over her mouth and then she threw her hands out and started laughing. I thought she was heading for the car but she ran right to Nana and gave her a big hug and then ran back to Papa the whole time saying, "oh thank you Nana, thank you Papa!" Then she ran to the car. They definitely made her day!

Kyle and his dad took her for her first "drive" and when they came back in the house Kyle declared that I would be in charge of all the driving lessons from now on! The whole turning and stopping concepts... well lets just say they are a work in progress!

Sophie is not going to let you leave her out of anything... she likes to go for rides with Bailey!

Kyles parents were able to come and visit this weekend and they brought the car with them, Bailey has been loving it, riding it at least once a day. Its so cute, she will say, "mom I want to ride my pony car." Sophie is right there with her everytime, she is incharge of the radio and horn. Its so cute.

We got to do some fun stuff while we were out there here are a few of them.

At the parade, we also did the night parade, both were pretty good this year, I was impressed, last year... well...

Sophie and mommy

Bailey's partner in crime... if you ever at a parade you want Kimber to be on your side. She made sure that Bailey got plenty of candy.

Bailey loves to pal around with Chris.

Just chillin' waiting for the parade to start.

Bailey slept outside with the girls, that is all she talks about!
They set off dynamite on monday morning to get everyone up and going I guess and it truely sounded like they were in the back yard setting it off, and it wasnt just once it was like ten times. By the time they were done everyone was awake. Bailey will always tell me about when they slept outside and then she will say "boom, boom, boom!" remember mom?

She had a lot of fun with all of the cousins.

The boys played in the golf tournament! I told them I would be their forth person, but they didnt go for it. Even though I am a girl and pregnant, I think they totally could have won if they had me on their team... :)

Baileys Pioche party!

Here are a few pictures from her birthday party.


Aunt Kimber gave her the princess tea set, which Bailey loves! She has been wanting one forever!
Shonna helped me with the cake, by helped I mean pretty much made it, it turned out really cute!

I cant believe she is three years old!

The Loot!
While we were out there Vince and Jordan blessed their baby girl.
Kyle is lucky enough to have five generations on his dads side of the family.


so cute!
