Dance Class

Bailey started a dance class yesterday. It's put on by one of the other young mother's in our ward. I wasn't able to drop her off yesterday so she went with one of our friends who snapped this cute picture of the girls before class started.

She's the only one wearing a swimming suit, but that doesn't seem to bother her Ralae said she did well and had a lot of fun.

Bailey's Birthday

We had lot's of our good friends over to celebrate! And as you can tell they also helped blow out the candles.

I had so much fun making this cake. I got the recipe from the Wisk Kid blog. It tastes delicious, but unfortunately doesn't look nearly as crisp as hers...

The much anticipated 2nd Birthday! Poor Bailey wasn't feeling well and it shows. But even with all the crazy obstacles we had it turned out to be a blast! Happy Birthday Bailey, we love you!

Fun Pics

These are just some fun pictures we've taken... no real story or reason, they're just fun...

Canning

I tried my hand at canning the other day... sadly this is all I got and don't let if fool you these are only pint sized jars! But I'm really excited to try it again, don't know what I'll can, but I'll do it!

Chagrin Falls

Last week we went with the Bullard's and the Clark's to Chagrin Falls. It was such a cool place! I really felt like we were in a new world. There are all sort's of fun shops, and little restaurants, and a really cool ice cream shop! Next time we have visitors this is definitely one place we should stop, it's only 30 min away!!!

Our Summer

This summer has been very eventful for us. Jared's Parents came out for Uncle Arron's graduation and we all went out to the Rolling Ridge Ranch 

Then we went for a trip to Utah to visit friends and family. We went to a wedding, the zoo, out to dinner multiple times, to a splash pad, fed the sheep... and much much more. And of course I can't find the pictures I took so we're forced to only use the ones Kelsey, my sister-in-law, took.

Poor Kelsey was getting pretty dizzy on this ride. That's why she looks like she's about to fall over...

When we came back to Ohio we had Memorial day at the lake with some of our friends.

Jared started school again in June. The end of July however we started another break! We stayed here for a week and played with friends then we went to Wisconsin for a week and played with my family! We had lot's of fun dinner's, walked around the lake, had a lot of relax time, and went to a family pool in Watertown. (I'll have to wait to post these pictures because I don't have them from my sister yet)

Over all summer was fantastic! I'm glad to have these times together as a family to enjoy the ages of our kids and to play!

Just Kelsey

I know I've been bad about putting up pictures of our sweet little Kelsey. So here is a small sampling of what we've been up to with this little girl.

What pretty eyes, I love the deep blue!

She also get's some pretty sweet hair days!

I actually think Kelsey looks a lot like my sister Jessie in this picture(Jessie doesn't usually have red eyes though...)

This is her in therapy. She's doing an awesome job, but there's still a lot to do.

The past couple days I've loved looking at all the crazy positions this girl can sleep in.

Kelsey and Bailey love to sit in the doorway between the kitchen and the dinning room and watch me cook.

I love this picture! What a beautiful little girl!

Some of our favorite toys are the tools. We also love our visit's from Aunt Julie and Uncle Aaron
