Bailey's First UT Football Game

2010-11-13T16:20:00.000-08:00

Although only making it through one quarter, Bailey really enjoyed her first game. She LOVES to sing Rocky Top! The weather was absolutely perfect!

Lady A..singing in the bath...

2010-08-29T16:51:00.000-07:00

More Dancing...

2010-07-30T17:29:00.000-07:00

Bailey loves Lady Gaga...

2010-07-27T16:56:00.000-07:00

Just a MESS...

2010-07-02T14:04:00.000-07:00

My 3yr is obsessed with many things...changing clothes, baby dolls, and make-up just to name a few. Today, she has changed clothes at least 5 times. Below you can see that although it is 80 degrees outside, she wanted to wear tights...alone that it!

Here she has to have on a headband, the remains of chocolate yogurt on her face, necklace, and baby on her hip. And yes, pants with the tag still on...

Happy Birthday Bailey

2010-06-19T19:49:00.000-07:00

We had a family birthday party for Bailey this evening. What amazing weather we had. My sister and the boys came down Friday and we had lots of fun with sparklers. Here are a few shots...

Wild sleeper...

2010-05-25T19:45:00.001-07:00

As most of you know, sleep is something that Bailey struggles with. She is totally restless and wild in her sleep. The proof is in the picture...

Ready for church...

2010-05-23T15:46:00.000-07:00

Although I always think she is cute, Bailey looked especially precious this morning for church. Had to snap a few shots!

Little beach getaway...

2010-05-13T18:28:00.000-07:00

We were so lucky to go to Wild Dunes for a few days eariler this week. Here are a few pictures!

And this is what happens...

2010-04-24T15:34:00.001-07:00

This is what happens when you let a toddler dress herself...

And when you give her lipgloss...

Roller Coaster Video

2010-04-23T18:37:00.000-07:00

Back to Dollywood!!!

2010-04-23T18:28:00.000-07:00

This is Bailey's favorite ride, the kiddie roller coaster. I think we rode it 10 times!

Since we have season passes, we are trying to go to Dollywood as much as we can before school is out. There were very little lines again today and the weather was gorgeous! Bailey has the blast and loves all the rides!

I remembered her bathing suit and as you can see, had a great time in the sprinkler!

They even have a nice sand area for the kids to play!

We rode the river rampage again, but unfortunately, Bailey got SOAKED and was quite unhappy! Hence the change of clothes...:)

Dollywood

2010-04-17T16:55:00.001-07:00

Bailey had her first experience at Dollywood on Friday. Like most toddlers, she had an absolute ball!

We ran into our friends, the Avans, so Bailey had a playmate...

That is Mark in the back seat...about to get WET!

Bailey loved all the rides she could ride by herself. It was the first of many fun days this spring!

Easter Fun...

2010-04-03T18:15:00.000-07:00

Over the past few days, we have really enjoyed some Easter festivities. We colored eggs with our friend Riley. We also had a big egg hunt for another friends birthday party. We were blessed with gorgeous weather and fabulous company.

Mark, Hunter, Robert, and Scott the Easter Bunny!

Our friend, Scott, dresses up every year for the kids. Such a good sport!

Bailey and Riley Mahan.

Hunting for eggs!

A swing and a sucker, what is better?

Bailey and Mark.

Cute family shot. Now, if I could only get Mark to smile!

What a pose!

Concentrating on those eggs!

Riley did such a good job!

Oh what fun!

Our nice green grass!!!

2010-03-28T14:14:00.000-07:00

Just a few cute pictures of Bailey outside enjoying the warm spring weather and frolicking in our nice green grass!!! She is wearing on of my best consignment finds!

Such talent...

2010-03-14T16:50:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love the combination of songs!!!

Fun with "Uncle May May"

2010-02-14T15:56:00.001-08:00

I honestly don't know who has had more fun, Bailey or Brian! What a great weekend together!

ABC

2010-02-13T17:20:00.000-08:00

We have a genius child on our hands!!! Please disregard the pjs and bead head..:O)

Fun with Friends

2010-02-13T17:16:00.000-08:00

Bailey had such a great day playing with friends today, new and old. We were so blessed to meet little, Bella, from Haiti. She is precious and full of life. There is always a smile on her face. We also got to see our best friends, Katie and Sophie, that just moved to Alabame. We miss them dearly and were so happy they came back for a visit!

Bailey "holding" Bella.

Always has a smile on her face! What an angel!

The girls playing!

Bailey and Sophie "counting" for the camera!

What sweet girls!

2010-01-31T10:01:00.000-08:00

More Snow

2010-01-31T09:59:00.000-08:00

We have had such a great weekend at home and playing in the snow!

Snow- part 1

2010-01-29T14:56:00.001-08:00

Well, we are ready for the big blizzard that is in the forecast. We just got out briefly this evening to let Bailey see the snow. Hoping for bigger and better tomorrow!

2 Going on 20

2010-01-12T16:36:00.000-08:00

Well, I wondering when the "princess" thing would set in. I think we might have started. Bailey loves playing with makeup, jewelry, and lots of pretty things! She got a new nightgown for Christmas and insists on wearing it!

Giving her paci to Santa!

2009-12-24T18:45:00.000-08:00

This year, Bailey gave her pacis to Santa to give to the babies. She has become shall I say OBSESSED with them and it was time to say good-bye. I think it has been harder on me than on her. She was pretty willing and we talked it up for a long time.

Christmas (a day early)

2009-12-24T18:40:00.001-08:00

Since I have to work Christmas Day, Santa came to visit Bailey on Christmas Eve. She was so excited and loved all her gifts. Oh, to see Christmas thru the eyes of a child...priceless!

Being silly with reindeer ears!

She loves her sit and spin.

Her new "computer".

More fun on the sit and spin!

Check out my new Dora ring!

Oh man, a new baby!!! She is obsessed with baby dolls!

All her great gifts. She was a little overwhelmed!

Realizing that Santa had been there!

Bailey must have been good this year!

Decorating Cupcakes...

2009-12-16T05:37:00.000-08:00

Bailey and I had such a fun time making cupcakes. She loves to use the mixer, stir the batter, and attempt to put them in muffin tins. She was obsessed with the sprinkles since we bought them and by the pictures, used them very generously on the cupcakes!

Farmer and the Dell

2009-12-15T06:28:00.000-08:00

SNOW...

2009-12-05T07:04:00.000-08:00

What a great way to wake up on a Saturday morning! Beautiful white snow covering the ground. Makes it more like Christmas!

Fantasy of Trees!

2009-11-26T15:07:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving Weekend...

2009-11-26T15:03:00.000-08:00

We had a fun weekend with family before Thanksgiving. Bailey really enjoys playing with her cousins. Of coarse, I had to make them all matching shirts. Too cute!

Playing with "Mommy's Doll"

2009-11-18T16:20:00.001-08:00

As a little girl, I had a Madame Alexander doll that I took meticulous care of. My mom keep it thankfully and I was able to pass it down to Bailey. It has been in her room since she was born, and tonight, for the first time, she wanted to play with her.

She has "doll eyes" and Bailey was very intrigued by them!

Attempts for a Christmas picture...

2009-11-17T06:03:00.000-08:00

So, attempting to chase around a toddler in a dress outside in the fabulous weather can be a CHALLENGE. However, thanks to friends distraction and a super fast camera, I think I got it. Of coarse, you will have to wait and see the best pictures, but here are some that didn't make the cut!

Rock A Bye, Take 2

2009-11-15T17:20:00.000-08:00

Sorry I have been a total slacker updating the blog. I promise to try harder!

Twinkle Twinkle

2009-10-04T16:46:00.000-07:00

Sweet Daddy Lovin'

2009-10-04T16:36:00.000-07:00

Bailey and Mark enjoyed some major love before bed the other night. She held her hands out and planted them on his face...priceless!

More Singing...

2009-09-15T06:26:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Mamaw

2009-09-12T06:38:00.000-07:00

All Girl...

2009-09-10T18:09:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, our sweet little Bailey is ALL GIRL! I found her with my lip gloss this afternoon. Needless to say, the proof is all over her face!

Talent?

2009-08-31T14:56:00.000-07:00

She is growing up...

2009-08-16T17:46:00.000-07:00

Well, this week we officially started potty training, totally following Bailey's lead. She decided she was ready and has done pretty good. We still wear diapers most of the time but she does go to the potty pretty consistently. Here she is in her "panties".

WARNING... Crack kills!!!

Bailey got the cutest little nightgown for her birthday. So, I slapped a B on it and it looks even more "girly". She is wearing it for the first time tonight!

Our smart girl!

2009-08-13T08:39:00.000-07:00

Fashion Diva!

2009-08-11T16:33:00.000-07:00

There is really not words to describe Bailey's fashion statement. Watermelon seersucker and Ugg boats. And don't forget the necklace!

Fun with Connor on the GATOR

2009-08-06T13:13:00.001-07:00

Bailey continues to LOVE riding on her Gator. She and her friend Connor had lots of fun today! She isn't a big fan of sharing the drivers seat...:)

Bailey's new toy!

2009-08-01T17:35:00.000-07:00

We were the grateful receipients of a well loved Gator today! Bailey LOVES it and we had to drag her off kicking and screaming. I give her a week and she will have it down pat. Now she can't do both, gas and steer...:)

My Little Model

2009-07-31T13:18:00.000-07:00

Bailey cooperated in modeling her custom made outfit...

Addicted!!!

2009-07-30T11:17:00.000-07:00

I finally did it! I went and purchased not one, but two sewing machines. Well, one embroidery machine and one sewing machine. Believe it or not, it was cheaper that way. I just can't stop. It is so fun. For anyone interested, I will be happy to monogram something for you. My fonts are limited right now, but I plan on expanding them soon! Just email me @ mmcopp@hotmail.com.

Fruit of our Labor

2009-07-28T14:29:00.000-07:00

Well, not exactly. That is not a snake Bailey is holding, it is a long bean from our garden. Mrs Lee, the best unit secretary in the world, who has worked at Children's longer than I have been alive, gave us some seeds for our first garden. We have lots of vines and flowers, but no vegetables yet. Except that is for this over sized long bean. We will keep trying...

Cross Family Reunion

2009-07-28T10:37:00.000-07:00

We had such a great time at a family reunion this weekend. We were able to see about 80 of my family members. We are blessed to have such a large family.

All of my "girl cousins"

Bailey playing on the roller coaster. Not so sure about it at first.

We walked to see the cows. Bailey loved it!

Beach pictures

2009-07-19T11:12:00.001-07:00

Our trip to the beach...

2009-07-19T11:04:00.000-07:00

We had a great vacation last week to Perdido Key, Florida. Bailey loved the ocean and sand. We had wonderful family time.

Next attempt at sewing!

2009-07-09T17:00:00.001-07:00

In attempts to feed my need to sew, I went to my aunts house this afternoon to practice. She has a super nice machine. It will actually embroider, too, but we weren't able to find a vital part. I did 4 burp cloths and I think they turned out great! I am really anxious to do more after we get back from vacation! PS- If you are looking at these and are expecting a baby, don't be too surprised if you get one as a gift...:)

4th of July...Henry style!

2009-07-04T17:40:00.001-07:00

Happy Independence Day! Hope everyone had a great day of celebration, we sure did. We are so lucky so have such fabulous friends as the Henry's. They have a great pool and an annual "parade" thru the neighborhood. We had so much fun!

The trailer pulled by Ralph!

MJ and Jason on the riding lawn mower!

Parker actually let Bailey "drive" the Gator.

Sophie showing off her patriotic side!

Bailey loved riding on the Gator with Parker!

Enjoying some corn hole and a strawberry smoothie!

Lovin' her sun glasses and hat!

Family time at the zoo!

2009-07-03T10:58:00.000-07:00

I am sorry I went a little overboard on the number of pictures. Mark was off today and we spent the morning at the zoo. We had a great time. The weather was so nice and it wasn't terribly crowded. All the animals were out for me to take pictures of...:)

First Sewing Class

2009-07-02T17:47:00.000-07:00

Tonight I took my first sewing class. Besides my machine not working, it was so fun! We made a pillowcase. The instructor has been sewing since she was 5 and had lots of fabulous tips. Now, off to return my machine and see what else I can find! It has definitely motivated me.

First Pony Tail

2009-07-02T13:12:00.001-07:00

What an important first in a girls life, her first pony tail! Bailey doesn't really like for me to mess with her hair, but I was able to put it up. Looks so cute!

Bailey, Parker, and Sophie!

2009-07-01T19:17:00.000-07:00

I am so sad that the Sturgills will soon be moving away. I don't even believe it yet. I am really going to try to capture some priceless pictures of the kids over the next month. Today, I got some good shots. I was briefly the mother of 3 this morning in preparation for the journey to Splash Country. We had so much fun...

Parker, Bailey, and Sophie.

Bailey and Parker "cooking".

Future husband and wife...:)

Sweet little, I mean chunky Sophie...:)

Going "night night" on the couch. For a kid who doesn't sleep, Bailey sure does like to pretend!

Having a snack at Splash Country.

Bailey loves "ice cream cones". It doesn't even have to have a cone...:)

Baby shower for Sarah

2009-07-01T19:11:00.000-07:00

Our good friend, Sarah, is 34 weeks pregnant and on bed rest. We had a shower planned a month ago but had to postpone it because she was in preterm labor. Well, since she still can't get up, we brought the shower to her!!! We had a great time. She is such a cute little preggo!

Opening gifts with her niece, Marianna.

Gotta love a boppy!

The position in which Sarah has been for 4 weeks...:)

Bailey trying to be a little "mommy" to baby Seaton.

Robyn and Abram.

Sarah, Amber, and Seaton.

Bailey and Marianna going "night night" in the floor!

We love Shannon!!!

2009-06-23T18:32:00.000-07:00

Last week we had Bailey's 2 year pictures made with Shannon Stanfield. He does such an amazing job and captures the best shots. We are very lucky to have him as our photographer! Her are a few of the best...

Little Miss Mommy

2009-06-23T14:26:00.000-07:00

Bailey is really into being a "mommy". She wants to take her baby for a walk and must have her purse on any outing! Too funny...

Happy Birthday Bailey!

2009-06-22T18:00:00.000-07:00

Since we had such a big weekend, we decided to have a small celebration on Bailey's actual birthday. We grilled steaks and had yummy cupcakes. Bailey has had a great day and enjoyed herself! Bailey had special friends Melissa, Duane, and Arden over to help celebrate!

Happy Father's Day!

2009-06-21T14:45:00.000-07:00

We celebrated father's day this afternoon at Chop House in Kingsport. We had such a fun weekend of celebration. Today is also Kenneth's birthday, happy birthday "papaw"!

Swimming...

2009-06-21T14:38:00.000-07:00

After the birthday party. we were all hot and ready for a dip in the pool! Bailey is a water dog for sure.

Bailey's birthday party!!!

2009-06-21T14:22:00.000-07:00

What a fun birthday party! We decided this year to do a family get together at Eastman cabins in Kingsport for Bailey's birthday. We got an awesome shelter, grilled some burgers, and watched the kids play in the creek. It was perfect!!! Bailey had such a great time.

Bailey wasn't too into opening presents this year.

Yummy cake and ice cream!

I accidentally stuck my hand in the cake trying to blow out the candle...:)

2 years old!!!

Bailey with "Grams" and "Mamaw".

Having so much fun!

Loving the creek!

Harper playing in the creek. Man he has gotten so tall!!!

Bailey loves her new water table.

Playing on the bridge.

I couldn't resist! Mark and Brian trying to catch "craw-dads" and Bailey watching from above!

Bailey and her cute little birthday outfit. Unfortunately, it didn't stay on very long...:)

Little changes!

2009-06-18T15:59:00.001-07:00

As many of you know, Bailey came out of the womb without the ability to sleep well...:) These past several weeks have been worse than usual and we decided to make a little change. No, we didn't get rid of the crib, we just added her "big girl bed" to her room. We were able to do a little rearranging and make it work. I am not a fan of the "family bed" and we have worked really hard not to bring her to our bed, so this is our compromise. We will see. She did, however, take a good nap this afternoon in her big bed.

By the way, the power was out this afternoon and was very warm in the house. That is why she is napping in her diaper!

Obsessed...

2009-06-07T15:42:00.000-07:00

Bailey can spend hours playing with bowls of water on the back porch. She even throws it up and dumps it on her head.

2009-06-07T07:42:00.000-07:00

Mark and I had a fantastic day on the lake. Bailey was being spoiled rotten at her grandparents, and we had a day alone. The weather was beautiful and our wonderful friends let us come on their boat. It was a great day!

Potty Training Begins...

2009-06-04T12:46:00.000-07:00

I think it is time for potty training. Bailey has gone in the "big girl" potty 3 times now. I cannot believe that my baby will be out of diapers soon. We have had the potty since Christmas and have pretty much let Bailey do her own thing. Now she is taking off her diaper and saying, "pee-pee". She is such a big girl...

Finally...

2009-06-03T12:55:00.000-07:00

I finally was able to get out my new "toy" and experiment with monogramming. After several failed attempts, phone calls, and a visit from an "experienced" friend, it turned out great. I am hosting a baby shower on Saturday and told myself I would have napkins monogrammed and ready. They turned out super cute! I also put a B on one of Bailey's little jackets. I can't wait to try more...

Sprinkler Park, take 2

2009-06-02T13:36:00.000-07:00

Melissa and I took the kids to the sprinkler park at Carl Cowan. It is so fun. Bailey had such a great time. We will definitely go back. We are so excited that Riley will be a big brother tomorrow. Melissa is being induced and we are praying for a fast and pain free delivery. And, a small baby, Riley was 10# 3oz.

Worlds Fair Park

2009-05-30T10:43:00.000-07:00

This morning we wend to the Worlds Fair Park to enjoy the Knox County Library reading event. It was lots of fun. We enjoyed the great weather with our friends The Sipes and ate lunch at Calhouns on the River. Great spring Saturday!

Eating lunch at Calhouns. The kids loved the boats and the ducks!

Bailey's first taste of chocolate milk. YUMMY...

Conner loved the sprinkler park. Bailey was a touch afraid but got a little wet with her daddy!

Tiffany, Conner, Mark, and Bailey.

All Cleaned Up...

2009-05-24T16:05:00.000-07:00

All the cousins took a bath after being totally filthy from a hard day's play. Aren't they sweet!

Memorial Day Fun...

2009-05-24T15:54:00.000-07:00

All my family came to visit this weekend to meet my sister's new fiance, Brian. We had such a great time. The weather was perfect and the kids played outside all day. We had a fabulous shrimp boil for dinner and really enjoyed each others company! I hope everyone else had a great Memorial Day weekend too!

Martha Wayne and Brian...

Bailey with 2 important things, paci and bug spray!

Harper had a blast in the sprinkler.

Townes loved playing around in the grass.

The "rocket pops" had enough red dye to stain your lips for days.

Harper is getting to be such a big boy. He will go to Kindergarten next year.

They all love "Aunt MW".

The "rocket pops" were a hit. I think each child had at least 3 of them.

It almost looks like blood dripping from his mouth...

We love our COUSINS!!!!

Take me out to the ball game...

2009-05-21T19:05:00.000-07:00

We all enjoyed a night at the ballpark. The Smokies lost, but we still had fun. Hot dogs, peanuts, and a blanket on the grass. Bailey even wrapped up in the blanket at the end with her paci and blankee.

Lovin' the Spring!

2009-05-21T14:05:00.000-07:00

It was so warm and sunny today, we got out the sprinkler. Bailey is totally into water and we thought she would love it. Well, she liked it but only wanted to play in it for a few minutes. Oh well... She was cute to watch. We are going to the Tennessee Smokies baseball game tonight. We will sit in the grassy outfield and hopefully Bailey will enjoy running around.

More projects...

2009-05-18T16:44:00.000-07:00

So, I have made a few more small things with the web fuse and fabric. Following Kristin's lead, I also made a bag for a birthday party. It turned out really cute. I also made a onesie for a friend having a little girl in a few weeks. Anyway, I was getting frustrated by the limitations and ordered a sewing/embroidery machine today. I am really excited and now have to learn to sew and find the time. But like my mom says, once you start sewing, you won't want to stop...

Markers...

2009-05-12T09:49:00.000-07:00

Like most toddlers, Bailey loves markers. I could just kiss the person who came up with washable markers. What a lifesaver. So, I left Bailey outside on the deck and came back to find that she had written all over herself. Too funny!

Bailey has this funny face she makes, it is hilarious. She clenches her fists at the same time.

More of Bailey talking...

2009-05-08T12:31:00.000-07:00

Crafty?

2009-05-08T12:20:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, bargain shopping and being thrifty is more of a hobby to me. I am obsessed with monogramming and wanted to try something myself. So...after following a fellow friends blog, a quick trip to Wal-Mart, and about $30, I was ready. My first outfit for Bailey definitely needed improvement, but not bad... If I can just occupy my toddler, I want to try again!

This onesie is for my friend Sarah who is preggo with her first baby, Reid. It turned out really cute!

Our Talkative Girl...

2009-05-07T13:09:00.000-07:00

To the Zoo, finally...

2009-05-07T13:05:00.000-07:00

Mark's parents got us a Zoo membership for Christmas and the rain finally stopped long enough for us to go. It was so fun. Bailey and I went with Melissa and Riley and it was the perfect day. Both kids loved the carousel. We rode it twice and had to drag both of them off kicking and screaming.

Toes...

2009-05-05T17:02:00.000-07:00

Bailey had to have her toes painted just like me... Oh what a girl!

Spring Time

2009-05-05T16:59:00.000-07:00

Isn't it amazing how some new flowers and green ferns can make you fall in love with your house again. It finally quit raining and Bailey and I were able to get outside today.

The Reception

2009-04-26T13:42:00.001-07:00

Bailey danced the night away at the reception...

Our Little Flower Girl, part 3

2009-04-26T13:36:00.001-07:00

Bailey did absolutely fabulous on her big day. All three children in the wedding were walked down the aisle with their fathers, who were all groomsmen. It was perfect. She loved her dress and looked so cute!

Our little Flower Girl, part 2

2009-04-26T13:34:00.001-07:00

Thank goodness there was shopping and a playground close by. We spent most of Saturday morning there.

Our Little Flower Girl, part 1

2009-04-26T13:30:00.000-07:00

Bailey made her Flower Girl debute this weekend in Lebanon. She was perfect. Here are the pictures from arriving in Lebanon and the rehearsal...We stayed in a hotel and Bailey loved running and riding her toy up and down the halls.

What she likes...

2009-04-18T17:13:00.000-07:00

Bailey loves to smile...
Bailey loves to dress trendy...

Bailey LOVES Chap stick!Bailey loves to play with water!

Especially in the kitchen sink.

As a mother you do a lot of little things to buy you a few minutes while your toddler is occupied. Above are the things I have done, some wishing I had never started. Oh well, you do what you do...:)

Time?

Do you think it is time for a big girl bed? She just thinks it is funny to crawl out of her crib.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a blessed and fun Easter! Bailey enjoyed playing at Aunt Pat's house in this beautiful weather.

Peeps!!!

After dinner, my sister Emily gave all the kids a marshmellow Peep. They loved them...

Weekend at the Grandparents...

2009-04-12T14:18:00.000-07:00

One of the best things about my job is 6 days off every other week. So, Mark had an appt in Kingsport on Thursday, and Bailey and I packed up and went with him for several days. We had a great time!

The kids dying Easter Eggs...

A little difficult with the younger kids.

Bailey got a new bubble mower from Mamaw and Papaw Conkin. She LOVES it...

We might have a little Tiger Woods on our hand.

Mom has the best yard for trying out your hand in golf. Bailey did pretty good for her first time.

I Love Bananas!!!

2009-04-08T17:37:00.001-07:00

We are very fortunate that Bailey is a good eater! She could eat her weight in fruit! As you can see, she loves bananas. They have always been her favorite!

Toddler+Yogurt+Baby Doll=

Mark and I found the poor baby about an hour after Bailey finished her yogurt. Obviously, she tried really hard to feed the baby!

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-04T18:03:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at the annual Easter Egg Hunt this afternoon at the Mahoney's house. Bailey ran around and ate lots of candy.

Thanks Scott for being the Easter Bunny again!

How many jelly beans can I fit into my mouth?

Bailey and Mommy!

All the kids. What blessings...

Hunting for eggs. Still using my basket, thanks Mamaw!

Mary Auburn Bennett, Sophie Sturgill, and Bailey. What pretty girls!

This weekend, we went to Johnson City to celebrate Harper's 5th birthday. He had his party at a gymnastics gym and the kids has such a good time. You definitely wouldn't know that Bailey just had a broken leg. Hope everyone has a great week!

Dance Party

2009-03-26T09:23:00.000-07:00

She loves to jump, dance, and watch herself in the mirror. We are getting ready for Mark to come home. He has been gone all week and we really missed him!!!

Cutie in pigtails!

2009-03-25T15:17:00.001-07:00

I tried pigtails this afternoon in Bailey's here. She is too cute...

Back to running...

2009-03-25T08:43:00.000-07:00

We went to ROSS after Bailey's appt and as you can see, she is back to herself...

Off with the cast!

2009-03-25T08:40:00.001-07:00

Thank goodness, Bailey's leg is healed and the cast is off. She didn't hesitate and walked on it immediately. We are so thankful!!! She was totally beside herself at the doctor and cried the entire time. But, she was telling everyone "bye bye" on our way out.

Bring on Spring...

2009-03-24T10:54:00.000-07:00

We have had so much fun outside today. Melissa, one of my dear friends from nursing school, and her son, Riley, came over to play this morning. Bailey and Riley really play great together. And man the weather has been beautiful, bring on spring!!! Hopefully Bailey will get her cast off tomorrow. As you can see from the pics, it is not slowing her down at all.
