Missing Freinds

Anyone who knows Bailee knows that she thrives on being around people, especially her Little friends. In the past year several of her friends have moved away, either out of state or across town. Either way it is hard for her to understand why she doesn't get to see them as often. Bailee sure has been missing her friends this past week or so.
One of Bailee's very best friends is Julianna, she lives next door and they don't often go more than a day or so with out playing. Julianna has been out of town for a week visiting her grandma who was in the hospital. Bailee has been praying for Julianna's Grandma G to get better so Julianna can come home. One of Bailee's other good friends is Bethany. Her family just moved in November and Bailee asks to play with her at least once a week. It just breaks my heart that she can't see her friends. She always says "But I want to play with her because I love her". We all really miss Bethany's family and hope that we can see them again soon.

Bailee's first bike ride

For Christmas Bailee got a bike. She wanted to ride it so bad. It finally warmed up enough to get all the snow and ice off the sidewalk. She had a lot of fun on her big girl bike.

Look at Us

One day Bailee and Owen where playing. The next thing we knew Owen was inside the toy box. Bailee and Owen are starting to enjoy playing with each other. Well except for when Bailee thinks she can take his toys away and boss him around.

Owen's new Trick

Owen surely takes after his Daddy...he is a climber and this is the newest thing he has learned to climb on..... He keeps us on our toes.

Jump Creek Campout

For the January campout we to jump creek near Mashing. There are some really cool rock formations and a water fall. David, Brandon, Sonny, Chris, Dallon, Ben, Tyler and Nathan all went. Friday night we got there set up camp, cooked dinner, did a night hike up the canyon. I hid behind some rocks and scared Nathan twice. That night one of the boys decided to down a town and it started a little fight. Those are always fun. On Saturday we practiced our Klondike events then hiked up the canyon and played in the canyon and caves. This is a great place close to home. The boys tents down by the creek

Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam

I can hardly believe that my little girl is 3 now and old enough to join the older kids in Primary! Bailee loves primary and her Sunbeam class. We spend a lot of time in the Primary room on Sundays due to the fact that I am in the presidency and while we are in the there setting up or cleaning up, Bailee always wants to get up to the microphone and either share her testimony or "read" from her Book of Mormon. It always makes me laugh. She has such a sweet spirit and a pure love for her Savior. I am so thankful that I get to be in Primary with her and see her learn and grow more each week. This is Bailee on her first day of Sunbeams with her scripture tote that one Nursery teacher (Sister Smith) made for her and the cute Sunbeam necklace that another one (Sister Parker)gave to her.

New Years Day 2009

We had a great new years day with my mom. We started by meeting for lunch at the Olive Garden and then we headed over to her house for games. Playing games is one of my favorite pass times and some of my favorite memories with my family. We had a blast! Tami, Mom, and Bailee playing Memory (Bailee's favorite game)
