On Wednesday I received a comment from someone I'm really not sure who it is and I have tried to find out who this person is. A few months ago I received a comment from someone who I know, but I wasn't totally sure who it was. I didn't know that they had looked at my blog, which was fine, but come on people if you are going to leave a comment on someones blog IDENTIFY your self if you aren't 100% sure that the person will know who you are. Some of my friends have made their blogs private for that very reason, which I have considered.
Yesterday (Thursday) someone FLAGGED my blog. In doing so they have said that my blog has "OBJECTIONABLE CONTENTS.". Which has now screwed up my whole blog. My blog has been totally clean and mainly just for family and friends to keep in touch. I was a little concerned about the unidentified person who left a comment on my blog, but I am really very angry about someone flagging my blog, and not just leaving a comment if they were offended by something. Now I am trying to decided whether to delete my entire blog or to just make it private.
To our family and friends if I do decided to make it private, please e-mail or contact me in some way and let me know if you would like to have access to my blog. As for posting - I will be putting that on hold for awhile.

Good times
Last Sunday Bailey wore the skirt that my sister-in-law Sommers made her. The skirt is soo cute, the whole out fit was a little big for her, but that is ok because than she can just grow into it. I love that flower since she doesn't fit into the skirt yet I am going to put the flower on her white sweater until she does.
Lately we have been having really crazy weather. Some days it is unnecessarily way to hot, some days snow, some days rain. Whatever. Anyway on one of the hot days Bailey and I didn't really go anywhere so we had a comfortable clothes day and after her nap her little head was kind of sweaty so I pulled up her hair. I went out into the garage to get something and she followed and found her fathers pop stash! This is the result. The pop was NOT open and I promise I usually take better care of her hair and don't let her run around in her onezee all day but she was happy and that's all the matters.
Also last week JJ Coles had another big warehouse sale. A huge thank you to my friend Tiffany for the phone call. As soon as she received an e-mail about the sale she called me. It is only the third one that they have had. This first one was pre-Bailey and I went with friends. The second one was post-Bailey and my sister-in-law Sommers, her mom, Shaydon, and my Mom came down for the sale. Well last Friday I had to go alone. Her is a little shopping history about me. I don't do a lot of shopping-unless it if for Bailey or something specific for Ben. I can usually be an and out of a store in 20 minutes and I can't even honestly think of the last time I was in any mall. I DON'T do the after Thanksgiving or Christmas sales. I'm not a morning person and getting up to fight the crowds for shopping isn't really my thing. BUT I do shop the JJ Coles sale. The sale started at 9:00am I was standing in line at 7:45am. I made Ben miss work to stay home and take care of Bailey!:)I was 7th in line and really missing Sommers when I first got there. A police man arrived at 8:15am and stayed for as long as I was there. By the time the door opened I was 14th in line and still missing Sommers. And true to the past I was in and out of the store/chaos and in my car calling Ben at 9:20am. Was it all worth standing in line in 45 degree weather in the rain for an hour and 15 minutes to do 20 minutes of shopping - YES! Sommers I missed having you there with me and hope you can come next time.
My neighbor makes hair bows and she showed me how around Christmas time. Well I haven't been able to find the color of bows I want for Bailey and I have been willing to mortgage my house to pay for the ones I have found and liked. My cousins threw a hair bow party and I went to be supportive, but when I left I decided it was time for me to start making Bailey's bows. Sommers sent me home with some ribbon she wanted to for bows and so I have made some for her, Bailey, and Miss Lily. But I really hope that they will all remember that I am still a newbie at this, and here is a picture of the ones I have made so far.
As a side note it was my Friend Sherri's birthday on Sunday, so on Saturday we took her a cake and a box of ice cream, but on our way there I dropped the cake! It had a lid on it, but the frosting was now on the lid. It's the thought that counts right? We hope you had a great birthday Sherri.

Catching Up... again!
This blog will probably be a jumble of pictures and words, but here goes.
Maid for Hire: Very portable, cute, and fun, but usually causes more of mess! Bailey loves to wipe anything down with her rag and sweeps every surface she can reach even me!
Easter-A religious moment- I am so grateful for the whole purpose of Easter and all that the Savior did for me. Now a spoiled child moment-with the end of tax season I get more and more stir crazy so Bailey and I did a lot of shopping the week before Easter which means her Easter surprises where a bit much, but she's so dang cute I couldn't help myself. I DON'T know why the hat had to be on, when she woke up Ben went to get her and she spotted the hat and had it on ALL morning. She got her own broom from the Easter Bunny and sweeps 3-4 times a day!
Ben was awesome that morning, took care of Bailey when she woke up (fed and changed diaper) let me sleep a little longer, made breakfast for us, and I found an IPOD Nano in my Easter Basket. My old MP3 player died, but I am still trying to figure out how to work the new one, any help would be nice! This picture is on our way out the door to church.
On Thursday Ben's sister called and said that they were on their way through Logan and would be at my house in about 20 minutes. We went for some ice cream before they headed on to Ben's brother's house. This is Bailey and Corbyn, he is a cutie.
On Saturday the USU Football team was having a spring game and of course anything sports related Ben had to go. It was a nice day and great to be together even at a USU football game. Bailey loves having Ben home more often. I thought the picture was so cute, she looks so little.
Ben also attacked his list of "Honey Do's" on Saturday! After 5 months of not having a husband he had a lot of things to do. Some he ignored, others took little time and some he hated! Bailey has been getting into drawers and cupboards since February and Ben said that HE would put on clips to stop her from emptying every cupboard I have so that was the one he hated. I stayed by his side for moral support and tried not to giggle to much!

A Moment...
Ok, I am having a tender moment :) I usually don't share these because anyone close to me knows that I am normally very emotional, but here goes. I put Bailey down for her nap at 10:45am, she went right down like a little champ, I then proceeded to check my e-mail and than forced myself away from the computer to clean the bathrooms. I love cleaning (my house doesn't always show it though) but not the bathrooms. But today is clean the bathroom day and yes I did clean both bathrooms and am done. Bailey usually wakes up when I have about 5-10 minutes left, but didn't this time so I went and checked on her and she is still out plug in mouth and huggies on each side of her. I was very grateful that she slept the whole time and grateful when I checked on her for just having her little self all together. And than I had a random thought of how grateful I am for Ben for not EVER arguing with me when I do or buy something for Bailey that he may not understand, but that I feel very strongly about. I am also grateful for a very hard working husband and SOOO grateful that the dreaded tax season is over!
I also realize that I have not posted about last week, but I have yet to down load last weeks pictures-on my to do list maybe for Bailey's next nap!

Home Again
Well last week, the week before Easter, my sister and brothers all had plans to go to my parents for Easter, like we did. But with Tax Season being what it is Ben didn't know if he would be able to get off work in time on Saturday to make the trip even worth it. So when my Mom called asking that Bailey and I come down a little early to help her we decided to go. We headed down on Thursday morning and Bailey slept all the way until Obi sneezed and scared her. When we got there my Dad decided to take Bailey and I on a little ride on the Gator.
We were able to spend time with a lot of family which is always fun and Bailey was able to see most of her cousins. I stayed at my brother's house which is nice because Brenda (my sister-in-law) is always willing to watch and help with Bailey. Thanks for letting us stay. Poor Brandon, my oldest nephew is under the four youngest grandkids, it's so cute to see them altogether.
Bailey and I left on Saturday afternoon so that we could spend Easter with Ben. But before we left my wonderful family gave Bailey her Easter surprises. My sister-in-law Sommers gave Bailey a bag of candy, toys, headbands and she MADE Bailey the cutest denim skirt, she's so crafty! Yvonne gave Bailey the cutest Tea Set which Bailey loves and we get fed spoon fulls of food constantly. My sister gave Bailey this amazing picture of Jesus holding hands with the cutest little girl holding her doll I love it but since it's for Bailey it's in her room.
I love being with family and the support and love that they have for me and my little family always amazes me. Thank you to my amazing family.

Another week down
Well this week Bailey had her 15 month appointment. She passed her 15 month date awhile ago, but the doctor was gone so we just barely had it. Anyway Bailey is healthy and slowly growing. She weights 21 lbs and is 30 inches long. The doctor said that her growth wasn't anything to worry about because that just wasn't the genes that she was given :)!! She is doing great. This is a picture of Bailey right before Easter last year! Where in the crap has the time gone!
After spending time with my nephew Shaydon, who Sommers has taught some sign language to, I decided I needed to teach Bailey how to say please. Now when she is screaming at me when she wants something at least she will now scream at me politely! But now that she knows it will get her what she wants it's really hard not to give her everything, it's especially hard for Ben because he is such a softy toward her.
This week was also General Conference. I love Conference, I think my love for Conference really grew while I was on my mission. First -because it was in English and Second - because Salt Lake was close to home. While we were watching the Sunday morning session at the closing song "We Thank Thee Oh God For a Prophet" the showed pictures of President Monson and My Dad was in one of the pictures! As soon as it was over I called him and he hadn't seen himself!
I hope everyone has a great week and a wonderful Easter. And to all the Tax Season wives- we've almost made it!!
