Christmas!!

Christmas is truly the best time of year! This Christmas especially! The difference was Bailey. Every other Christmas is focused on what I'm giving and what I'm recieving. All about me :) This one, I could have cared less what Santa brought me. Bailey was sooooo fun and awesome to watch. I was so excited for her and Kyle and I loved every minute of it.

We started the season off by going up to Wyoming to cut down a Christmas tree. I was being very picky b/c they didn't look like the ones I have always had. So with minutes to spare before sundown we found a tree!! Once we got home from the 2 hour drive in freezing weather, half of the tree dissappeared. Oh well, we had a good time and make memories :)

We finally found a patch of "Christmas trees"

Bailey enjoyed helping us decorate the tree and I think it fulfilled her curiousity because she didn't really mind the tree after that!

We went to Kyle's parents house for Christmas Eve. We had a yummy dinner, watched The Nativiy Movie, and then opened gifts. Santa really went big this year! We got a Garmin GPS which I am sooo excited for, b/c I'm ALWAYS lost!

Bailey got a Singamagig that she loves!

Christmas morning, Santa brought her a HUGE Mickey Mouse. She was so funny. She loves him to much.

Daddy helping her with her dollies and stroller.

She got a broom and went straight to the kitchen to start sweeping!

Don't mind the dark circles under my eyes. Kyle is sporting his new coat!

Few weeks later:

My oldest brother Adam and his girlfriend came out to visit. It was so good to see them and actually have some One on one time with Adam. By the time I remebered him, he had moved out of the house and was in the Army. We had a lot of fun together and even though my family is different, we know how to have some fun :)

Bailey on her horsey that Graum-mom gave her for Christmas

Ashley and Jake came down for New Years and we had game night and took the girls sledding. It was about 20 degrees and freezing outside but we still had some fun!

This is Brynn and Bailey.

Bailey wasn't too sure about all this! haha

Brynn just chilled the whole time, it was Bailey causing all the fuss.

This is how Bailey preferred sledding. We would send her down head first and she would go real fast and then start laughing. Thats my girl! Fast and Furious!!

That is how we ended our 2010. It was a GREAT year and I can't wait to have another one!

Nov 2010, Florida again!!

In mid November we took another trip to Florida for my neice, Taylor's, baptism! Most the family was able to come minus Heidi and Mark plus their spouses. We made it into a little family reunion and all 12 grandchildren/cousins were able to be together and play.

These pictures are in reverse order and I'm not going to take the time to move them! So from the end of the trip to the beginning:

We ened our trip with a beautiful sunset on the beach. Breathtaking!!

Bailey at first was scared of the sand in her feet, then she loved every minute of it!

Dad with all 12 of his grandchildren!

When the Wileys get together, we PARTAY!!! The boys singing and dancing ALL night long! So fun to watch and join in on.

The boys acting tough, as always!

The girls LOVING their time with Kyle!

Bailey finally okay with the sand

Doogy Pile on MOM!

OMG...the moment came when all of our dreams came true! Bailey is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 3 times a morning. We were the last people they let in to meet Mickey and Minnie! I was so excited. Bailey was so tired by this point but she still enjoyed meeting her idols :) Maybe I enjoyed it a little more, I cannot tell a lie :)

She was a trooper in the tea cups. Aliyah insisted we spin FAST!

Bailey went on every single ride we went on except Space Mountain. She loves the adrenaline just like her parents!!

The girls!! My sister-in-law Tiffeny, with her two girls, taylor and Aliyah, My mom, and Bailey

I think Kyle was WAY more excited than any of the children. This was his first time at Disney World and they even gave him a shirt pin to prove it!!

We had a blast and it was so good to hang out with my family and actually even meet a few of them for the first time. I love my family even though we may be a little different!! We also got to visit with some friends while we were there. I will be back in FLORIDA for Michele's wedding in April!!! Hopefully some more beach time for me :)

October!

Oh October!!! It has come and gone so fast! October is the month that life starts to get busy. It brings so many new and exciting things. When October hits, the leaves start to change and fall, the snow makes it's first appearance, the crafting side of me really comes out, the house gets decorated, the coats comes out, weird transactions in the closets, and most of all, the weight gain begins!!

This was my lates project. It is so dang cute and really not that complicated! If I can do it, you can too. My friend Ashley and I went and bought these letters at Wood Connection and just used homemade Modge Pog (2/3 c. Elmers glue, 1/3 c. water), scrapbook paper, paint, and glitter! We are planning on doing one for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

This is Bailey's punk rocker outsit. She has started giving me these frowny faces and then when I give one back to her she puts her head down and smiles while acting shy. It's so cute!

I bought Bailey this back pack for our Florida trip in 2 weeks. I think she is adorable how she just keeps it on and will walk about the house. She lookes like such a big girl, ready for school :)

So the start of October I bought her the pumpkin basket. Everytime we went for walks, she would bring her basket and pick up everyones fall leaving in their grass. It was so funny. Then we had to bring the leaves home and show them off. When she went to bed I would throw them away and we would start over the next day.

Bailey has gotten just enough hair to put little pig tails in. This has only happened once!! She is not a girly girl and runs away from me when I try to get near her hair. These only lasted about 2 mins then they were gone. It was a valid effort though! Now she just looks like she had a mullet!

Ashley and I also dressed up our girls this month and had a Fall photo shoot. I made this tutu for Bailey. Also, so easy!! Elastic, 4 1/2 yards of toule, and Wallaaaa....a cute Tutu! We went to a pumpkin patch and they girls weren't very cooperative! I have some good pics but Ashley has then on her camera!

Then we met up with Katy, Jason, and Kya and went to Thanksgiving point for a good ol time! Bailey and Kya are already BFF's. They had all sorts of fun things for the kids and Adults to do.

They had this jumping pad on the ground....SO MUCH FUN!! I was laughing so hard I had a sore throat at the end. The girls loved it and so did we! I'm glad I haven't completely grown up so I can still play and have fun :)

Bailey loved the cow train. Notice how I had to oil my legs and hips to fit!! Ya, not meant for big hipped mommas :)

Bailey in her cowgirl hat and tutu, she was running around saying, "Yee haw!"

Then the snow came about 2 weeks ago. It only lasted a few hours, just long enough to play in it! I took Bailey out in her Jammies and coat. The first thing she did was sit down and eat it!

This is her frowny face again. Notice how I taught her how to put the olives on her fingers. She got such a tickle out of that!

Yea! Then Halloween came! I have been waiting 6 years to have an excuse to go back out trick or treating! I worked until 5am Saturday morning, so when I woke up, I went to craft day for church, then Bailey went down for a nap, then we got dressed and ready in our costumes and headed out to our first Halloween Party. Then to the Grandparents for visiting and trick or treating. It had rained real hard and was freezing so Bailey didn't last that long. Then we went to another Party, then back home for some more trick or treating. She liked it much better the 2nd time around. We got home and traditionally, I poured out the candy and we all took our turn picking out which pieces we wanted :) Bailey got shafted...shhh, dont tell her :)

Aww, a family of scare crows...CUTE!

She was more interested in the umbrella than she bucket of candy!

Every house we went to she tried to push past the people and go into their homes. haha

Good thing she is cute!

Bailey is such a joy to have around. She makes me laugh so much each day. She also makes me want to pull my hair out too, oh wait, she does that for me. I love watching her learn and grow, but with that comes frustration while in public places. Bailey is also showing her independance by never wanting to eat!! She loves to play with the food instead. She loves to dance, play with any size of ball, push her stroller or shopping carts, scream, walk around with a pretend pen and paper, play in the extra water in the dishwater, good at napping and sleeping at night for the moment, loves to do anything that grown ups do.

Oh yes, we put her on the Big potty the other day and read her a book, all of a sudden, she started going Potty! Kyle and I were so amazed, she shouted!!! It scared that pee away and she started screaming and tried jumping off the toilet! It was so awesome but now she is kinda scared to get back on, so back to square 1. haha

Bailey, Mommy and Daddy love you! Thanks for the good time thus far. Muaw ;}

This was my birthday! Kyle blind folded me and drove me all around and then I ended up standing in front of an airplane that I then learn how to fly it! I took off and landed from Provo Airport and flew to Heber. Then Kyle and I switched and he flew us back. It was awesome and a great birthday present!

Look at that face!! How can you not fall more in love each and every day!
