Bailey today! :)
We had a great time this Christmas! It was so fun to have Bailey and to be able to enjoy Christmas like we did when we were kids! It was like being a kid again! No crazy work schedules...just fun, family and food! Christmas Eve we went to The Nutcracker and Grandma Jan watched Bay, then that night we went to Grandma June's and played the presents game and hung out with the Warnick family. Christmas morning we had a great time with Bailey! She was so into it! She enjoyed each of her presents and had a great time! We also got to visit with Jay (Bryson's dad) that morning which was a great surprise--it was fun to be able to see almost everyone in the family in one day! We then went to Grandma June's again for scones and exchanged gifts; then we went to Grandma Jan's and had a great day with family and great food and MORE presents! It was an awesome day! Bailey was exhausted! :) She did so well though without her naps and she loved being around so many people! It was a lot of fun!

Bob is my favorite!

I love Biggest Loser!!!! I am so excited for the (Jan 1st) new season! It will be cool to see couples on there!!! YEAH! I would be in withdrawls if there wasn't another season around the corner! I am totally going to get in shape! I am determined!!! Finally! :) I am glad that the twins won! But I wanted Jerry or Kae to really win! I loved them!

Bailey is 10 months old today!!!

Bailey a day old!Bailey today!


It is so weird to me that my baby is 10 months old!!! That is so crazy! I really miss the newborn stage..I think that is the sweetest time...just pure sweet...but I love the stage she is in now which is nothing but FUN! She really loves life --if you haven't noticed! I really think she is a special little spirit who is going to do a lot of great things in her life! She loves everyone--even scary UNcle Tyler! ha ha! And she loves everything! "Happy 10 month Bailey!" She is the best gift I could've ever gotten from our Heavenly Father! (I am so mushy--maybe it is the holidays, or certain trials in my life that make me so sensitive!)

Bailey's Favorite Pass time

(These pictures were taken with my phone--not the best) Bay loves to climb the stairs...so I make sure that I keep a very close watch on her--we spend a lot of our day doing this though! It is fun to watch her! She is getting so big!

Pure Joy!

I am so happy that I have little Bailey and that we get to have our first Christmas with her this year! It will be so much fun! She is such a sweetheart! She is up for anything...and she is always a good sport! I have been thinking a lot about Christmas and all the blessings that we have been given this year! The best of all, of course, being Bailey! I am so grateful for her; all the small struggles, whether it is finances, or schooling, or little fights Bryson and I have--they seem so small and unimportant when you think about the purpose of life! I am so grateful for my life, my family, and my friends! I am trying to live life (as much as I can) like Bailey--everything is just fun, and exciting and life is full of pure joy!

My happy baby!I am going to try and find that ward Santa picture! The ward took pictures of Bay with Santa...I will try to find it...bc we didn't take a picture :( She was very indifferent about Santa!

Playtime!

Bay and Mommy!
It was a good weekend! Bailey had fun playing with Makenna and Abbie...she now is very fast at crawling and sometimes she does a monkey crawl where she walks on one of her feet and crawls with the other! IT is FUNNY! She also climbs the stairs which is frightening! :) It was so fun to play with darling Makenna and see (darling) Michelle! Love you guys!

Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!

Bailey helping to put the tree together!

She liked crawling underneath it!
Santa's little helper!
So excited!
Looking at the ornaments!
The fam! The snow!
Friday we decorated our tree, and Saturday it snowed like crazy! Here are a few of the pics! Thanks Robin for taking the family pictures! She took our Christmas picture too...thanks! The snow is beautiful! But it is too cold! :) Our tree is tiny...but that is a good thing, bc we don't have many places to put it! After having it on the tile and breaking 3 of our ornaments, we decided that was not the safest place (with Bay) to put the tree! So it is crammed into our tiny living room! BUt it is fun! Bailey likes me to point at the different ornaments and have her point to them too! So fun! I am so excited for Christmas this year!!! Bailey's first Christmas! :)

Getting bigger by the second!

You mean this one, mom? ha ha--Yeah those pics of Bay do remind me of this one of me...now that you mention it!




She pulls up on EVERYTHING! She is so good at it, now! However, Sunday after her nap--she woke up and stood up in her bed and was calling for us with her sweet lil baby words--so, we decided it was about time to lower the bed one last time (to the lowest setting!--there is no getting out of it now!) She is so big! I can't stand it! :) I don't want her to grow so fast, but at the same time it is fun to see!
