Play date

My friend Sherri and I are trying to get together - mostly for my sanity - once a week for her youngest and Bailey to play. Bailey needs to spend time with other people and we love Sherri and family so it works out. But I seem to forget my camera every time we get together. This last week Bailey fell asleep on the way to Sherri's and Cara went down soon after we got there and didn't wake up until after we had left. So the girls didn't see each other, but I had a wonderful time talking to Sherri for over an hour peacefully! Here is a picture of them playing on Saturday with the magnets on the fridge.

Saturday Parties

On Saturday Ben did his usual morning basketball playing, than some friends and I went to the movie, than of course we had a football party. The Holy War was this weekend, BYU vs. the Utes. Jon, Sherri, and girls (3) came over, Mitch, Kara, and their daughter where there too. So we had a lot of little girls, a lot of Food, and a lot of fun. Thanks everyone for consoling Ben!

Bailey's Cupboard

My mom has been telling me that Bailey needs a cupboard. Why? Well it's so she can completely empty it! My nephew Nic has his own cupboard, my mom lets the grandkids have a cupboard at her house and so not wanting to deprive Bailey of such a life mile stone she now has her own cupboard:) So we just thought we would share the happy news with the rest of the world! PLEASE do not look at my not so organized cupboard!!

And She looks like...

A little while ago Ben and I were going through my baby pictures and I came across this picture. This is a picture of me, my dad, and my brother Scott. I have no clue how old I was, but the cheesy grin looked familiar to me. The other picture is one of Bailey taken in October, I used to tease her about the cheesy grin until I saw it on my own face!

Cute Jammies

Last year my sister-in-law gave Bailey these way cute Jammies. Well as you can see they would only work for this time of year and she fits them perfect. I had to take a picture of all the cute things on these jammies so that is why there are a lot of pictures. Thanks Aunt Sommers for the cute Jammies we love them!

Rock Stars

Monday night some friends called and wanted to get together to play some games. They supplied the dessert and we supplied the games. We played a little Rock Band, ok a lot of Rock Band and had a really good time. From the pictures you may or may not be able to tell, but Tyler is an amazing singer and dancer and Tiffany was a natural at the guitar! We rotated from singing, guitar, drums and chasing the kids and Obi, but had a lot of fun.

Getting Older

Bailey will be 11 months soon! I can't believe how fast time has gone by and how fast she is growing up. She is waving hello and good bye when she wants. She is playing Patty Cake. When we start the song she will clap. When she gets a hold of her brush she will brush her hair. She will get a hold of the phone and hold it up to her ear. She is all about the cheesy giggles and smiles. She tries to match the tone of my voice when I am talking to her. She is an excellent singer and dancer. Ben and I have noticed she is a little shy though. When it is just the three of us at home she will talk constantly and be into everything. But when other people are here or we are at there house it either takes her a little time to warm up or she just want say a word and sit on our laps. She is getting a little better - that's part of the reason I have started doing play dates with my friend Sherri to get her more comfortable with other people -people that we know well :) Because I am a paranoid mom! In the first picture she holding the phone up to her ear, it's just not easy to see. We love our little munchkin and can't imagine our lives without her.

Weeks events

Well another week has passed. On Tuesday my friend Sherri and I got together for a little play date. Her youngest Kara is one and they came over to play and Sherri and I had soup from Old Grist Mill and talked. We had a really good time and of course I forgot to take any pictures. Also this week some friends of ours have season tickets to the USU Basket Ball games. Tyler (the one who has the tickets) wasn't able to go to the game this week and so he gave his two tickets to us. It was Bailey's first game and it was WAY cold walking from the car to the game. Anyway here are a few pictures of us at the game. The little purple things in Bailey's ears are ear plugs. I KNOW I am a paranoid mom, but I was so glad I had them and she was such a good girl and left them alone. Thanks for the tickets Tyler and Tiffany!

New Clothes

Either before Bailey was born or right after my sister-in-law gave me some clothes of my niece Lily's. Well Bailey is finally big enough to fit into them and I love them. I thought these little overalls were so cute that I had to take some pictures of her in them. Thanks Yvonne and Lily for the clothes. We love you and hope to see you soon.

What a Week

Last week was kind of crazy. We went to Burley for Halloween and came back home on Sunday, but we came home without Bailey. We left her with my brother, he called and asked if he (and his wife) keep her for a few days. We left her on Sunday afternoon and Todd brought her back on Tuesday, so I was basically away from her for one day. While she was gone I totally attacked the house; I did a lot of cleaning and laundry, but I missed her like crazy. On Friday we had dinner with some friends at Firehouse - Thanks MitChell for using your coupons and gift card!:) Than after dinner we went to some other friends to play games. When we got to Jon and Sherri's Ben set Bailey down and she just stood there. That was a first, she is starting to stand on her own, but this was her longest time to just stand there. Thanks Todd and Brenda for taking Bailey and for dinner also thanks to everyone who made our Friday so enjoyable I hope we can do it again soon.

Halloween!

I know I do a lot of slides and I am sorry. Basically my blog is all about Bailey, so what can I do? For Halloween I decided that we needed to go home. It was Bailey's first one and she really didn't care but all of her Grandma's were happy they were able to see her. Thanks for all the treats-they were mostly toys-any treats she got were eaten by Ben and myself. Thanks Aunt Wendy for the sending the Halloween package! The pictures are of Bailey opening the Halloween package, getting her nose painted (which she didn't like), pictures of her with Grandma Brown and Aunt Suzie-AKA-Bethany and being fed by Cousin Lyndsie who was being very difficult and wouldn't let me take a picture of her. Thanks to everyone for a great 1st Halloween.

Halloween Cookies

On Tuesday (Oct. 28) Bailey and I invited our neighbors over to decorate Halloween cookies. Nicole came over with Ellie and Megan. Megan and Bailey hung out in the Highchair and Bumbo and Ellie helped us cut out and decorate cookies. Bailey is 3 months older than Megan and they are so cute together. Megan giggles at everything Bailey does and is the cutest baby. At church when Bailey sees Megan she will do anything to get to her. I hope that they will be good friends when they get older too.
