Teddy Bear Picnic
Filed Under Parents as Teachers, Posing for Pictures, Three Years Old, Two Months- Taylor | 1 Comment
We went to the end of the school year Teddy Bear Picnic at Bailey’s early childhood center. Although she’s not in preschool yet (and won’t be in the fall either, but that’s a topic for another day) she does take a lot of classes there through Parents as Teachers. We’re not sure yet how the state budget cuts will affect that for next year, but we have enjoyed the classes so much.
Of course I dressed Taylor with the teddy bear theme in mind.

Bailey was so excited to see her parent educator. She had been talking about getting her picture taken with her, but then she changed her mind once she got busy playing. Her favorite stations was the one set up with doctor stuff.

We ran into her friend Kaitlynn and they ate ice cream together. Bailey always chooses vanilla (she calls in banella). She does not like sprinkles or chocolate syrup or anything else on her ice cream. Just plain.

On the way home it rained really hard. By the time we got home, it had stopped so we played outside for a little bit and Bailey splashed in the puddles. Then she wanted to pose for some pictures again. She’s really into funny poses lately.



Taylor’s First Church Service
Filed Under Big Sister, Church, Firsts, One Month- Taylor, Posing for Pictures, Two and a half years old | 1 Comment
We decided to brave it and take both kids to church on Sunday, March 21st. We had some fun family snuggle time before we had to get ready. Taylor LOVES sleeping on this beanbag chair- too funny, considering all the money people spend on swings, bouncy seats etc. And he likes this beanbag chair better than anything else.

They both cooperated with getting ready. Usually Bailey has a fit about putting on tights but she did well. The problem came when we tried to take a family picture. Got a good one of Daddy and Taylor…

But check out what happened when we asked Bailey to join them!

She managed to pull it together (but still refused to take a picture). When we got to church she was so proud to push the stroller around and show off her baby brother. She went to her class and we took Taylor to the service with us. He made it, oh, about fifteen minutes before he decided he was hungry. I went to the nursing room where they have the sermon on a speaker to listen to. Unfortunately this woman came in to nurse her child and could.not.stop.talking to me. I thought I was going to lose my mind, and I didn’t hear a word of the sermon. I think next time if that happens I will actually say something. Or else get up and turn the speaker up to a deafening volume!
Anyway, we survived. We didn’t make it today (because Taylor decided not to sleep AT ALL last night) but now we know we can do it!
My Little Valentine

I know it’s not Valentine’s Day yet, but I wanted to share a few pictures anyway. These were taken the other day before Bailey’s cooking class at the Early Childhood Center. She has gotten really into posing for the camera– which is quite a refreshing change from the tears and facing-hiding of a few months ago!


And a few from class-



My Little Flower Girl
Filed Under Congratulations, Firsts, Friends, Posing for Pictures, This Rocks, Travel, Two and a half years old, Weddings | 3 Comments
Yes, she was the best flower girl ever. I was so, so proud of her. I was laughing AND had tears in my eyes as she walked down the aisle. These first few were taken before the ceremony. I will be ordering some of the professional pics from during the ceremony so that I can remember the way she looked forever!




Getting Ready


Reception

(Clapping as the bride and groom are introduced)






Can you tell she was getting really tired?

Here she was about two minutes into the car ride home and already falling asleep!

We enjoyed a Wendy’s stop on the way home. I miss Wendy’s since all of them around here closed

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Faith and Bryan. It was so good to see you guys. And Bailey has been playing “wedding” since we got home, with my bouquet and her flower basket. It usually starts out, “Mom, let’s play wedding! You’re Uncle Bryan and I’m Aunt Faith!”
Wordless Wednesday- Princess
Filed Under Play, Posing for Pictures, Two and a half years old | 1 Comment
This is my princess.

She likes to wear heels with jeans.

She prefers to wear her tiara backwards.

She likes to eat cookies and not get her mouth wiped off.

But isn’t she beautiful?

It’s rough being a model…

Some outtakes from our photo shoot the other morning. It didn’t go so well!



The lollipop bribe didn’t really make things any better either…

(I had a lot of people ask about this outfit when she wore it the other day. If you’re curious- it’s Lots of Dots from Gymboree 2008. And I think the “remake” is available at the outlets right now. This line has super super cute stuff. We have a few sets from it and I intend to track down more for next year!)
I am so thankful

Random Cute and Funny Faces!

Took a few pictures around the house/during dinner the other day. Since I’ve been grouchy, and looking at pics of Bailey always cheers me up, I thought I would share a few-




Little Cupcake Cutie
Filed Under Posing for Pictures, Two and a half years old | 2 Comments
This is what happens when a two year old doesn’t want to cooperate with picture taking…

But then when you offer her a piece of candy if she goes along with it…

It works wonders. Sometimes, we resort to bribery at our house. Whatever. Later that day she was in a funny mood and found a pair of Daddy’s earphones.

Happy Memorial Day!

Not much going on around here. Just delivered some Avon and visited my grandparents. Jonathon and I are going to grill and I am making some key lime pie for him. Just a nice, low-key family day.
Thank you to all the men and women who have sacrificed for our country! We appreciate what you have done and we always pray for our military. We are so blessed to live in a free country.

Christmas Photo Bloopers
Filed Under Posing for Pictures, Seven Months | 5 Comments
Last night, we had such a horrible time trying to take Christmas pictures of Bailey that I thought I would share the pics just so everyone else could laugh too. It started out bad and just got worse and worse. I thought it would be cute to get a few naked booty/Santa hat pictures but that didn’t work out so well either. Then at the end, we tried to take some family pictures. Between my three chins and Bailey’s tongue, none of those are going to work. Boo.
