Happy Birthday Bailey

These past 5 years have been amazing thanks to a special little girl. She made us parents! She is the sweetest, most caring little girl and the best big sister. She is so smart too! She's writing her name, plus more. She's drawing pictures that we can actually understand. She comes home daily singing new songs that she's learned at school. So, here are some of my favorite pics of our precious girl!

Our 1st good picture together, ie. I didn't look drugged and her eyes were open.

Our little Kindergartener!

Well sort-of.

Our Bailey Allison Todd is now in Kindergarten Readiness. It's a program for children that have late birthdays, to get them ready for kindergarten. In a way, it's like pre-k, but she goes to school and follows the same schedule as the school. And it's free! Woohoo!!!

She did great the first 1/2 day! She got a little nervous when we got into the school and asked to hold my hand.

Nana and Papa got to come too.

She settled right in

And quickly made a new friend.



Hugged Mommy goodbye,

And made herself right at home.



Her first full day is tomorrow. She's got her backpack ready and lunch packed! Now, it was a little exciting packing her lunch for the first time, I'm not going to lie.

Guess who's 26?!

Yep, that's right. I turned 26! 4 years away from 30...

We celebrated at Nana and Papa's with a cookout and fruit pizza. Very Yummy!



The day before, Nana and I went to Charming Charlie's and I got to pick out my presents. Jewelry!! This necklace was a surprise for me and very special. My dear mama was 26 when she had me, so there is a '26' on the necklace.



If you know me you know that
1. I love purses
and
2. I go through work bags quickly b/c I carry so much. So a new one was in order.





Bailey had to try on my jewelry of course.



And Austin chilled w/ his fruit snacks.

And what would a cookout be w/o some swimming. Look at our little water baby!

We're Baaaaaaack!!

Don't worry...We weren't abducted by aliens or fall off the face of the earth. We've been here. The problem is that we can only upload pictures from our desktop, which has gone w/o internet for some time now. And that means that I'm uploading pictures all the way back to last Halloween. Not fun folks!

Anyway, I thought I would start w/ our most recent pictures from a trip to the park. It was blazing hot of course and probably not the smartest place to go, but whatever.

Austin slept the entire time we were there. The slide made a nice little place for Mommy to rest too.


Bailey ran around and played, played, played.


And posed.

Did I mention that she posed?

Well, that's all for now! I have to take baby steps back into this whole blogging thing.

Our precious 4 year old

Our sweet, sweet Bailey turned 4 (yes, nearly a month ago, but we're not going to focus on that little fact). So Nana, Bay, and I headed to Cannonsburgh to get some pictures. Bay did a great job! She loved posing and is a natural.
