Labor Of Love

I really wanted to try baking Kinley her first birthday cake. Her all time favorite book is Brown Bear, which we read it six times a day at least. So I got online and looked at how to make a bear cake. I found a Build a Bear Cake pan from William Sonoma on Clearance, the only way to shop! I did a test run ha! ha! (He looks like a mummy), but I did it more to see how it baked not how to decorate. I just finished the final bear for tomorrows party, I hope she Likes her Brown Bear.

Our new favorite activity pulling the kids around on a blanket.

Kinley is giving her baby a ride!

My wonderful mom gave these flowers to me on Kinley's birthday and wrote a nice card that said I have done a great job this year with the new one! I love her

Love the Hair!

What do you get your second daughter for her birthday, whens its right after Christmas, and she all ready has all of Bailey's old toys?? This is what I found. I think I did a good job.

Christmas!

This is the best picture I could get of my kids Christmas eve. Their little nightgowns were so cute! Kinley wouldn't sit still, so I put her on a popcorn can. She then felt like a big girl and would stay long enough so I could get a picture.

Christmas eve, we had dinner and exchanged gifts. Kinley was most interested in this box!

I helped the kids build a snowman. Kinley loves the snow!

Quick Cute Story

So Bailey had her friend Harley over today to play and when Harley decided she wanted to go home I told Bailey when our friends are ready to go home we watch them and make sure they get there safe. So we walk Harley to the door, and we wait for her to go down the driveway, and cross the street and Bailey yells "Hurry Harley we are cold!" so I thought that was pretty cute. When grandma got home I decided to share the story with her, she laughs and snorts! Bailey says "Grandma, why do you always make that pig noise?" I laugh all day long at this little girl full of funny things to say and questions to ask. like the time she told my mom "Grandma you always do your hair like a lion" Ha ha!

Bailey's big day on stage

Bailey getting ready to go on stage! she is so excited not scared at all.

Bailey after her performance she is so beautiful and she did such a good job! It was nice to have all our family there to support are little princess. Thanks grandma and granpa, grandma Carol, Erin, Darcy, Tallon and Stacey & Makaylan for doing Baileys hair and makeup.

What a long day! dancing wears you out. Seeing bailey dance really makes me miss it. I think I am going to start an adult dance class in January its at dance showcase its Tuesday nights 8-9pm if anyone is interested I would love to have a buddy to go with.

Hey Santa!

Bailey is getting ready for her Christmas show on Saturday! Today the parents were invited to watch the dance.

2008 Christmas Party

This is the Baum yearly Christmas party, The kids got to see Santa and he brought them a early gift! Kinley was fine with Santa the first time I put her on his lap, Maybe because her gift had torn open, and she could see the toy that she has played with at walmart before?? I tried to put her on his lap again for a picture with her sister Bailey and she did not like him then!


My camera was being funky in this picture.













This is Bailey and my nieces Kaitlin, & Oakley





Bailey thanking Santa so sweet!
