Hotel Get Away!

On Saturday, November 5th, 2011, Larry's cousin's Kim and Steve rented a hotel room for us and one for their family as well and we spent the night away from home and with each other. It was So relaxing and we had a blast! When we pulled up Bayleigh said it was too bad this hotel was so small because they could have a pool like Great Wolf Lodge. Little did she know, the whole point in the evening away was to swim and hang out. When we walked into the lobby the pool was off to the left and there were windows where you could see the pool. I said, Yip, it's too bad this hotel doesn't have a pool because swimming sure would be fun! She got THE biggest smile on her face and hugged me and told me thank you. LOL! I said, it's uncle Steve you need to be hugging right now so, she did. :)

Bayleigh and Joshy in the hot tub!

Here are a couple of videos too!

A HUGE Thank you to Kim and Steve for the much needed night away!

Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween we stuck with tradition and met up with Larry's cousin's and walked around the little community that Larry's aunt lives in to go trick or treating. We met up at Larry's uncles house for a few pics and to say hello to him first, again sticking with tradition. The above picture is of Bayleigh and little cousin Mason. They are so cute!

After walking around we then drove up to visit my aunt and hang out with her for a bit. It was a great evening!

7 yr well child visit

Friday, October 21st, 2011 Bayleigh had her annual well child visit. She weighs 44.5 pounds and is 42.5 inches tall. Urine sample came back perfect and she is doing great! One thing we came out with, well I had to get it at Wal-Mart, is a mouth guard. Bayleigh has been grinding her teeth at night time and Dr. Wean suggested this since her dentist won't do anything UNTIL there is damage. Dr. Wean and I agree...fix it BEFORE damage. She also got her flu shot and LAUGHED!!! She is silly! We are just happy to have a happy and healthy little girl. She is the light of our lives!

Fall Break

Bayleigh's Fall Break was this past week. Wed. the 19th, Thurs. the 20th, and Fri. the 21st. It's been FUN!
Wed, we went with Larry's dad to help him pick out carpet for his house. Found some right away. We went to lunch together too and that was very nice. He bought. ;)
Thurs, Jodi and I took Mason, Bayleigh, and Trent to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. It was FUN! It took us an hour to get thru the line to get tickets, but that was our only complaint and it taught us to purchase online next time.
Fri, I took off and Bayleigh had a well child dr. visit. I'll blog that next. Then we went to see one of my best friend's new home. GORGEOUS! I couldn't be happier for her and her beautiful family! Good things for good people--BLISS!
Here are some pics from Thurs.

 This Carousel is 90 years old. My sister in laws grandparents (or was it great grandparents??) met on this carousel when it was in the park. ROMANTIC!

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Tuesday October 18th, 2011 at 6:20 we had our parent/teacher conferences with Bayleigh's teacher. We also got her report card and she got all A's and B's and S's which are good. Her teacher said she is very sweet and very smart. The only thing Bayleigh really needs to work on is reading comprehension. She does a good job, but somedays she tries to push for number of books read and then doesn't always score the full points on her AR tests. AR is accelerated reader. Her teacher also suggested some books for us to get her to read that are chapter books. She is reading chapter books now, but I am not a huge fan of them because they use words that she is not allowed to say such as stupid and they girl in the books is a little snot.
Her grades are as follows:
Reading: 99 A+, E
Language: 95 A-, E
Spelling: 96 A, E
Math: 87 B, S
Social Studies: 85 B-, S
Science: 85 B-, S
Art: 94 A-, E
Music: 95 A-, E
Physical Education: 89 B, S

Some of these grades I believe they said are graded some different and are simply given a standard letter and then that letter is automatically given a percent so we are supposed to not pay attention to the percent. Such as Physical Education and Social Studies. They are automatic S's so then that percent shows up on the column on the report card.
We are very proud of Bayleigh and after discussing with her about reading comprehension we hope and pray that we see improvement next 9 weeks. :)

GRRRR Previous POST!

I have no clue why the pictures in the post below this did what they did, but if you click on the first picture then it will pull it up and you can go thru them and see them big. Sorry.

Tuesday Crafting!

My good friend Jodi has been coming over on Tuesday evenings and we have been playing Martha Stewart. Well, not the illegal stuff, but the crafting stuff. :) One Tuesday we got the kids together and Trent too and painted while Jodi and I did glass etching. One we got together and made the lumninary jars. Then we got together another Tuesday and carved pumpkins. This is turning into my favorite day of the week! I've asked Larry to call me Martha, but he refuses. He's no fun! Here are some pictures from our various crafting days. Our Pumpkin Carving Date was Tuesday, October, 18th, 2011. IDK why these pics look so weird while composing this. Hope the load right in the blog you're reading.
