Dance Camp

Bailey went to Dance camp this week with some of her friends!  They had a little show at the end..here is one of the videos:):

 

Crazy things my Three Year Old Says

Tonight Bailey and I looked through my entire blog..all of the pictures and videos and posts going back to 2009.  She got such a kick out of looking at herself when she was little (well, littler than she is now).   She also loved seeing all of the pictures of Fletcher because there were quite a few.  It took a long time to look through and then we were all done she looked at me and said, "Mom, do you want to go to Title Max?"  And I thought huh?  So I said, "Bailey why would you want to go to Title Max?"  and she said " Because mom if you go there you like get your money back".  So a note to all advertisers out there kids really do listen.  But unfortunately Bailey does not own a car and does not need a loan..if she did they would totally get her business:)  Now I can't get their silly jingle out of my head:)

 A couple of weeks ago Bailey, Braden and I went to the Magic House.  This is one of the coolest places to take your kids in St Louis ( http://www.magichouse.org/ )

It is a great place to explore and see all sorts of things. 

 They have a pretend restaurant there that the kids can pretend to be waiters at and pretend to cook, etc..Bailey loves it.  This is her posing ( somewhere around 6 months ago she started this thing where she has to "strike a pose" for every picture:)

 Taking my money

 This is Bailey's new favorite part of the magic house.  They have it set up just like the baby nursery at the hospital..and it is filled with little girls running around like crazy dressed up in little scrubs pretending to be baby nurses.  It is so cute.  Bailey of course posing for the camera.

 Weighing her baby..look at how careful she is being:)

 Oh and Braden had a great time too

 This is the "pretend your an auto mechanic station" or something like that..yep she's not going to care about that for very long

Yep thats right..posing on a tractor.

We also went to Purina Farms the other day and it was a place I had never been before.  They have tons of animals that you can get right next to and pet and see up close.  So cool.  And its free...which is crazy because nothing is free that is that cool. 

 Baby Pigs!!!

 Riding a tricycle/tractor on the top floor of a barn..fun!

Sleeping after a long day..

We're Baaaack...

So it has been 6 months since I have posted anything...and in case you didn't notice I had to change the title to my little blog because..
 We had a BABY..a baby boy in fact.  His name is Braden and he is about the cutest thing ever.  Let me catch you up..

First Born

1 month

2 months

3 months

  4 months

A few more:

We also took Bailey and Braden to a photographer when Braden was 10 days old.  At the moment I can't find the disc with all of those pictures:(  But when I do I will post those, they are really good!

Bailey is the best big sister.  I'm pretty sure there is no one on the planet that she loves more than her baby bro.  The first time she met him she immediately started singing twinkle twinkle little star to him..and it has been non stop hugs, baby talk, and lots of kisses ever since.

Fast Forward to now:

Can you believe how big he is!!??  I can't..I swear he's going to be bigger than Bailey by one year and Bailey is not going to be happy about it:)



Our precious pup Fletcher passed away in May.  He was the most amazing and sweetest dog, and anyone who ever met him would agree.  He was my first baby and we miss him so much.  He was with us since before we got married, when we moved into our first house, and with us when we had both of our babies..losing him has been so sad..he was truly my best bud and it is so hard to come home and have him not be there.  He put up with all of the craziness in our lives like starting a business and us having less time for him and then having two kids and having even less time for him.  He was the best big brother to Bailey and didn't mind when she dressed him up and put necklaces or princess crowns on him or chased him around with her baby stroller.  He didn't mind being tripped over or stepped on when Bailey was trying out her new gymnastics flip or dance move.  No matter what he loved us and was his happiest when he was just at home relaxing and snoozing next to his family.  Oh, and he was the handsomest boy ever I should also add.  Love you Fletcher.  Hope you have been getting your balloons Bailey has been sending you up in Heaven.

We thought about selling  our house..
We found a house we loved and wanted to move only if we could sell our house and move into that house.  About a week after we got our house on the market the house we wanted sold...here are some pictures from the ad for our house..I thought it looked pretty nice:)

So now that we are staying here for a while we have some big plans for our house (or at least I do, I'm not sure if Matts on board yet:)  First project includes that icky fireplace in the bottom picture!


Bailey had her first dance recital.  It was so fun to watch.  Seriously if you have a baby girl or are having a baby girl (Jen:)  it is definitely something to look forward to!!  They work so hard all year and then the recital comes and they look so cute in their little outfits and they get up on stage and forget almost all of the moves they are supposed to do..and it is about the cutest thing you will ever see in your life.

More to come soon! 

2011

I don't really have any huge New Years Resolutions.

But if I had to name a few I guess I would say..

1.  Get back into shape {after the baby comes}

2.  Try not to let the fact that Matt is working non stop make me a crazy person by 2012.

3.  Have patience and enjoy every moment with our new baby boy and our sweet little girl.

4. And get organized!!!

Hope everyone had a great New Year!!

Baby Boy Room

After many months of deliberation we have finally picked out a few things for the baby room..
Shopping and decorating for a baby boy is much harder {in my opinion} than for a girls room.  Just thought I would share a few things that will be in there...

 This is his new bed {don't pay attention to the bedding..of course that will be sports related:)}

 To go on the walls:

Nope his name won't be Paxton...it will say Braden and have footballs under it NOT baseballs of course.  But you get the idea:)

We haven't actually purchased the rug yet but will soon..

And there are a few other things that will be in there that I didn't include..

but just wanted to give a preview:)

This is definitely a change from pink and purple!!
