The happiest place on earth....

Last month was our very first trip to Disney World with Bailey! We absolutely had a blast. It was very exhausting and we had to take one of our days off from the park so that we could rest up. We had one set back at the end of the trip when Bailey got some kind of bug in the middle of the night, but she recovered so we could finish out last day at the park. We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. We even got to have Dinner with the Princess'! By the end of the five days bailey was worn out and it took her a few days to get back to normal when we got home. We had gone for her birthday so at the park we got her a Happy Birthday button and then all the cast members said Happy Birthday to her all the time while we were there! We even did the "pin trading" that is the new thing now.....we went with a lanyard and 1 pin and came back with the whole lanyard full! It was so exciting for me to see bailey having such a good time.....I can't wait till we go back...in a few years! :)

On out way to Magic Kingdom!

We waited in line for an hour to see Ariel!

Mom wanted us all to take a picture here in front of the teacups where andy abby and I took one there when we were little!

Family Picture!

Bailey loved to ride the Roller Coasters!

On the Jungle Safari we got pretty close to the animals!

We were really glad to be able to spend some time with Jennifer and Allegra, since they live in Florida they came and spent a day with us!

We had a wonderful night when we had dinner with all the princesses. Every single one of them came to the table and talked to her and took a picture with her! It was a very memorable experience! 

Snow White was her favorite!

Happy Birthday Princess!

Its is hard to believe that a month ago my little baby turned 5 years old! Where has the time gone? :) I am so blessed to have her in my life and I am thankful for everyday we have together!

 We definitely had a very busy birthday weekend! First we had a birthday party at our house with a lot of baileys friends and then the next day, which was her actual birthday, we went to Power Play and then came home to watch the Super Bowl! 

She is such a big girl now and I can't believe that we will be starting Kindergarten soon! I saw on the school billboard that orientation is on the 23rd of this month! WOW! I am so excited for what is to come!

Here are just a few pics from her birthday celebration!

The Beautiful Birthday Girl!

It was a Mickey and Minnie Birthday Party!

We enjoyed having all of her friends over for a wonderful time!

                                               

On her birthday we went to Power Play and one of her favorite things was the indoor cosmic mini-golf! Already taking after her mommy! She did get a "hole-in-one" on one of the holes!

Having some fun playing air hockey with the Papa!

We love you Bailey and hope you had the Best 5th Birthday a little girl could have!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! We hope that everyone had a wonderful day spending time with there families! I just wanted to share a few pics from this Christmas season! Christmas is my favorite time of the year! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!  

Every year we have a christmas party with my wonderful girlfriends from High School. Each year the amount of children grow....next year we will welcome at least 2 more to the tradition..we are all so lucky to have such beautiful children!

The New Bike! 

She was so excited to ride the bike but it was so cold outside we had to ride it around in the garage! 

Snow White! We cant wait to see her when we go to Disney World!

Barbie Haircut Shop! You can color her hair then shampoo it and then wash it out!

Halloween.......

This year we had a wonderful Halloween....it felt like we celebrated for about three weeks...from friends parties to school parties and then actual Halloween day we definately partied hard. Since I missed Halloween last year because I was in the hospital...I totally made up for it this year! Bailey was Minnie Mouse this year, I made the costume myself! I think that everything turned out pretty good! :) On Saturday we went to Legends during the day and then at night we went Trick or Treating at Thousand Oaks! We were sad this year that we didn't get to trick or treat with Riley Staley....it was the first year that they weren't together! :( Bailey still had fun though! This morning we were out bright and early gathering halloween items on sale and looking for a Dorothy costume for next year :) I know shes already on top of it for next year..... we didn't have any luck though so we will see if it sticks until next year! Hope all of you had a wonderful Halloween! Can't wait to see pics.....

Last soccer game....

This weekend was the last weekend of soccer for Bailey. I think that she enjoyed playing...we sure did enjoy watching her! She scored a few goals....although they were for the other team...they were still goals! :) We are excited to play again in the Spring....maybe she might get the concept a little more then! I'm just excited that Bailey is old enough to introduce her to all these new things, then see which ones she likes and doesn't like and which ones we are going to stick with in the long run....coming up in the winter we are going to sign her up for Biddy Basketball at the YMCA! Can't wait!

The Black Knights!

Doing some toe touches with the Coach.

My soccer girl!

In the action....she would run alot but not always after the ball!

Her first medal! She was so excited!

School Party....

On Friday Bailey had a Fall Festival at her school. Everyone wore their costumes and the school was filled with games and food in all of the classrooms. It was my first showing of the Minnie Mouse costume that I made for Bailey so it was really nice to hear all the compliments! We got to see some friends there and it was a very good night!

Baileys first cake walk!
