Teeth, Teeth, Teeth!

Bayleigh got in the truck to come home from school today, April 28th, 2011. She was SO excited because she is getting a new tooth! Her, (if you're looking at her face), her right bottom 6 year molar is coming in!
While checking out the new goods, I gave the bottom front two a wiggle test and low and behold....they gave a little!!!! This is a BIG deal for us because Bayleigh has been obsessed with wanting to lose her teeth so the tooth fairy will come!!! :) Keep checking in, it won't be long before those "wonderful" toothless pics start showing up. :) Until next blog!
Love,
Jenn

It's Raining Mud!

I know it's typically wordless Wednesdays for bloggers, but let's face it--Me + Wordless=More than likely not happening. :D
So, Bayleigh and Colin decided to play in the mud this afternooon. I noticed they were using the watering can to dump water on my truck and told them to stop. While watching out the window the following picture is what I seen.
I then go out and find the following picture.

I went out and told Bayleigh to stop squirting the truck and she said OK. Then I called Larry and he wasn't too happy. He said, she's in big trouble. LOL! I told her that he isn't happy and that she is in trouble when he gets home. She was very apologetic and used wet wipes to clean her feet. Then I heard the front door open and she headed out to use a wet wipe to wash my truck before her daddy got home. I told her to stop so that she didn't scratch the truck and she said she was really sorry again. I told her not to worry about it, and that her dad would pull the truck into the drive so she could wash it with the hose. So, the following picture comes from that.


As Larry is standing watch over the chore he starts to speak to her. I hear him say, Let go of the handle. LET GO OF THE HANDLE! LOL! I am dying laughing because she is turning to listen to him and SOAKS him with the hose! LOL! It was quite comical if I do say so myself.

Never a dull moment here! Thanks for check in! Until next blog!

Love,

Jenn

Easter 2011 and then some!

Hello Followers! I once again apologize for my absence. It is brought on my BUSY, BUSY, BUSY schedules that I don't see letting up any time soon. So, bear with me.
So, if you are from Indiana you already know that our rain fall totals for the year so far are through the roof. Let me just throw in here that I AM OVER IT!
Little League of course is already starting. Teams have been choosen and practices have been scheduled. Let me just add here--we've not been able to practice because of the previous mentioned rain. BOOOOO! We know who Bayleigh's coach is and what her team name is, but I will share that at a later time due to personal reasons. (To be honest, I am being caddy and to be even more honest--I really don't care at this point). So, stay tuned. :)


I encouraged Bayleigh to play in the very deep mud holes in our front drive, because--quite frankly, she is sick of being cooped up in the house and so am I, so why not?! She really wasn't sure about it at first, but then had a ball!!!
Notice how deep it is?!

Sunday, April 17th, 2011 we made our annual trip to the Greenwood Park Mall to see the Easter Bunny. Talk about chaos! There was only one woman working the camera, the cash register, and HER CELL PHONE!!! Argggg! LOL! I couldn't believe she was talking calls like that, but oh well. Even the Easter Bunny looked at me and put his hands up in the air like, "I have no clue what she is doing". LOL! Wonder if the bunny will find a way to "talk" to their boss???





Friday, April 22nd, 2011 we finally found the time to color Easter Eggs--around 9 O'Clock, but whatev! LOL! As you can see, Bayleigh absent mindedly reached in with her hand and grabbed an egg out of the dye and the mess ensued from there. It was a ton of fun though. We bought "magic" eggs again. Bayleigh was SO excited when she pulled eggs out of the dye that "magically" said, Mom, Dad, Bay, 2011, God with crosses, Jesus, Happy Easter, and a Bunny. One said "G" too for "G" across the street, (Grammy), but for some reason it didn't work out. Oooops! I am not sure how I know that either. LOL! ;) I am not sure where that nickname came from either, but when Bayleigh answers the phone she says, "Mom, it's G across the street". I think it's cute!


The Easter Bunny was good this year! Jelly Beans, The Easter Story and Junie B. Jones Dumb Bunny books, Bambi and Tangled on Blu Ray and DVD, Cinderella and Ariel Squinkies, and a new baseball glove!

Side 1 of her basket

Side 2!

Due to the rain mentioned above the Easter Bunny found his way into our home to hide the goods. Wonder if he has connections like Santa to get in?! ;)

DANG! The Big Golden Egg scored $10! All of the little eggs held 50 cents each--of course that money will be donated to the Riley Hospital Kids. That is where Bayleigh wants all of her money to go. I love it! :) Hence the $10 cash for her own bank account. OR, rather, I think that is what was intended. :)

I have to tell you, since hunting was inside this year Bayleigh came downstairs feeling sick and then ended up sitting on the couch, IN THE ROOM WITH THE GOODS, and didn't see a thing! WHAT?! I know! She was feeling SO bad that she didn't even pay attention. We spent Saturday cleaning and when I came down the stairs I seen the first egg. I said, Bayleigh, pick this sh*t up! We spent all day cleaning and now you are leaving your toys laying around! A big smile went across her face and she seen the "light"! LOL! She said, it wasn't me! The Easter bunny did it! LOL! That is why this year she is not hunting in her pretty Easter dress! :)

I should mention too, Easter this year fell on April 24th. We got up to head to church, but Bayleigh wasn't feeling well. Not long after I started feeling really queezy myself. I hated missing church, but we discussed the true meaning of Easter and gave our thanks to God and Jesus right here at home.

After deciding to stay home I went back to bed and woke feeling some better. We hosted our annual dinner with family. It was nice getting together with everyone. Dinner was wonderful. Larry of course did the cooking, but that's his thing. Trust me, you don't want me doing it--Especially not feeling up to par. Bayleigh and I are both feeling better now!

Thanks for checking in with us! Until next blog!

Jenn

How about a video Blog?!

Please see the fine print to be able to view these without the music running in the background.

How about some cute poems about the value of pocket change?!

Or How about this next video? I am SURE we have all had days like this!

See if you can guess what she thinks about her daddy in this next video!

And Now, see what she has to say about Mom!

Hey, I never said she was the next American Idol, but she'd def. have my vote. :D
So, as you can see. One morning, Bayleigh and I were bored out of our minds before finally deciding to hop out of bed and start our day. Sorry they are sideways. LOL! Thanks for checking in. Until next blog!
Love,
Jenn
P.S. Sorry for the delay between blogs. I've just been super busy and haven't had the time. Little League Practices start next week so you know there will be pictures from that soon. Unless of course it rains and gets cancelled. :D

Spring Break 2011

Well, it's Sunday April 3rd and Spring Break is coming to a close. :( I am not going to lie...I am sad. It was yucky and I call for a redo with nicer weather. I told my girlfriend that maybe the school system will feel sorry for everyone and give a sympathy week when it warms up. She said they will...between June and August. LOL! I actually had the week off. Well, off with Trent which counts as being off in my eyes. :) It was very nice, and I miss my kiddios too. Since the weather was so crummy our Spring Break was spent mostly teaching Bayleigh the fundamentals of being a good mommy and wife. LOL! My child has learned how to was toilets inside and out, clean floors, clean sinks, sort, wash, dry, hang and fold laundry. SHE LOVED IT! So did I! She would say mom, is the dryer done yet?! Kept me motivated for sure. We were able to go through her clothes and get rid of the ones that are too small. We still have a couple loads to go through, but man-o-man does it feel good to have that tote out of the house! Thursday, we were able to get out of the house and meet some friends at the gymnastics place the next town over. It was fun!!! It has also led to Bayleigh getting ready to start doing gymnastics...we think. She goes this week for a free class to see if she likes it. It is more expensive than dance, but dance sucks because the recitals for the fall class are the weekend we are gone to the cabin. :( Friday, my mom got off of work early and took us to lunch and we did some shopping. It was nice being with her too. Saturday, my nephew had his 7th birthday party at Monster Mini Golf. Poor Bayleigh, she was terrified last year and decided this year she was going to be brave. As she clung to my hand walking through the place...she was TREMBLING! They took off to golf and she cried because she was so scared. LOL! She will ride water slides and big roller coasters, but you put her in front of a fake monster and she is done. LOL! I hope that if you were able to go somewhere for Spring Break you had fun! Even if you didn't go anywhere--I hope you had fun! Even though we didn't do much it was so nice just being with Bayleigh. Her and I laughed and smiled so much. She would say, "Ummmm, You know what"?, I would cut her off and say, "no, I've never met him". She would get so frustrated. She'd get to the point of saying Ummmm, and we'd both just laugh. I love her!
This makes me laugh. At first she was too scared to let go. By the time we left she was swinging as high as she could and letting go without hesitation. All of these kids go to our school! Well, if they are old enough for school. We all ended up at gymnastics and then out to lunch. FUN!
Max and his friends at his party. Check out his Nightmare Before Christmas Cake.
