Parks, Puppies, Pools, Pretty girl and g-Parents!

So cute!

Playing in the pool with Abbie

Playing with Max--so cute!

Playing at the park with Holden..(and Kylie, Caleb and Sophie)

My absolute favorite picture of her (that is not professionally done)!

So cute of Bailey--not the best of Daddy! Pretty girl!

Playing with Annie--the "pup-pup"

Here are some random cute pictures of Bay and the fun she is having this summer!!! Any creative ideas of fun summer activities for toddlers?

Strawberry Days...

Bailey rode on the ferris wheel!!! I was so proud of her! She was so brave!!!

Bryson, Bay and I went to Strawberry Days Carnival in PG with Krista and Max, and it was quite the ghetto attraction--but now we can say we went! And we tried the--to use Bryson's words, "Overrated" strawberries and cream. Bay liked it. She and Max were also amazed by all the sights! :) We didn't bring the cameras but here are some pics from my phone of Bay and I on the Ferris Wheel! She is like her mommy--thank goodness!--and not like her Daddy when it comes to her adventurous side! :)

"Where's my Baby?!"

My "baby" and I enjoyin our deck

"Precious."

Running...

"What?"

Summer reading with her BFF Abbie!

Bailey is no longer a baby! It is official! She is going through her "I want control" phase, she is speaking like crazy, she is very stubborn and very opinionated (where does she get that from?) and she is just big--look at her! Aww, sad! But she is also a lot of fun...and every day is an adventure that she learns something from! She is my life! Though I want another baby, I also want to cherish the times I have with Bailey --bc we will never be 3 again!

Happy Father's Day!

Look at that "New father's" face!--but mostly I love his hands--how gentle he is holding her!

One of my fav's

Just cute

Playing the Wii

This was the other day! PRecious!

I love how they are walking the same in this one! (Blurry, though--but I kinda like how it looks)

Happy Father's Day! Bryson is such a great dad! He has grown so much, and has really been there for me and Bailey! Bailey looked like Bryson from day one! She still pulls "Bryson faces" and it cracks me up--but she definitely has her own personality these days! I love seeing them play together and my absolute favorite is watching them walk hand and hand--mostly bc Bryson has to bend down so much to hold her hand and it is just so sweet! Love it! Here are some of my favorite pictures of the 2 most important people in my life! Thanks for all you do, Babe! You are the best!!!

Cute as a bug!

Searching...

Found one!

up close... :/

Touching...


Bailey and Bryson went on a hunt for bugs! Bailey loved it...she was so excited! They found a rolly-polly right in front of our house...Bay wasn't too sure about it, but she warmed-up enough to finally touch it! Brave girl! :) Now whenever we go outside she squats down and says "Bukg, Bukg!"--she would be good at German, but that is how she says bug. It was so much cuter in real life! Precious moments!

Grandma and Grandpa's House...

We went to Grandma's the other day and Bailey had so much fun! She loves their dog, and will randomly ask for her when we are at home. She will say, "Pup-pup? Annie? Go?" it is so cute! She wants a puppy so bad...but not til we are in a house! :) With a yard! And just MORE ROOM! But anywho...she loves her grandma and grandpa Nuttall!

Lazy Summer Walks...

We take lazy walks to the mailbox (occassionally) and let me tell you those 45-60 feet take over an hour! We stop and smell flowers, pick up rocks, say hello to any puppies that might be on a walk, and stop by the park on our way back....it is quite the adventure! Good thing I have a lot of time to waste! :)

What's up?

OK, so I think I scared people off from my previous post! I really just wanted to hear people's views--but everyone is... too afraid?--either of me, or of sharing them in general! :) Well, I must say, I am passionate about it, but not closed minded...I used to vote independently--until the recent, oh, 8 years or so :). That's OK, though! I understand! It is personal to some people!
So obviously, politics are on my mind--I think I will lay off of CNN for a bit and stop doing research on that! But the Presidential Race is what has been on my mind lately--so I ask this question to you:
"What is something that has been bothering you lately? Or what have you been preocuppied/busy with?"

I just want to know what is goin on with everyone! Anybody watching Bachelorette or So you think you can dance? The 2 most addicting tv shows on this planet!!! :) I love them!!!! :)

"An America that believes again!"

"..[O]ur moment is now."

YAY! Obama won the demecratic nomination...I am so happy! I really have a lot of respect and hope in that man to do great things for our country! I am ready for the money to go back into education, healthcare, and to stop unneccessary negative realtionships around the world. We need to gain the respect of other countries once more...we have lost so much in the past 8 years! I can't wait to see what changes can happen in Washington and what changes can happen with our economy in the next 4-8 yrs if Obama becomes President! I know a lot of people don't like to share their political opinions...I don't like to debate too much--I respect other views, as long as they are educated views! If you truly believe in the REAL issues of either party's perspective--more power to ya! That is what this country is all about! I just know that I am ready and I know a lot of other people are ready for a change in our country--no matter the risk! I hope I don't offend anyone and would love to know what other people are feeling as well!

God Bless America!!! I love this country! I feel so blessed to live here, especially in this time when there is so much freedom for women and for all people whatever race, religion, background, etc! I think we forget how blessed we are and as Americans we abuse our freedoms too much! Like the scriptures say, where much is given much is required! Ok, off my soapbox for now! But can't say that this is my last post about Obama since his campaign has just started for presidency! :)

Memorial Day with Grandpa Kevin and Kylie's Birthday

Grandpa and Bailey--we went to Boondocks (Is that how you spell it?)

Bailey had fun with this game...

Bailey loved all of Kylie's fun outdoor toys!

Fun times!

Birthday Girl! Kylie turned 2!
So I really wanted to show different pictures...but Blogger is being super slow and annoying....so here are some--plenty I am sure :). On Memorial Day my Dad was in town and so we went up o Tyler and Mandy's and played and went to "Boondocks". Yesturday (Sat) we celebrated Kylie's 2nd birthday...that was a lot of fun and Ashley went all out! Bay had a blast too! Though I must say, I think I enjoyed making the sunglasses more than Bailey--or any of the kids...they were so cute!
