Over a Week Worth of Activities and Fun....

So it has been a few weeks since I have blogged and in that few weeks a lot of things have gone on here in the Bailey household. So I thought I would blog about them all at once. Here we go.....

On September 12th Ty and I had the opportunity to help out with a Auction to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. My friends Erin C and Erin J put the whole night together and did a amazing job. It was a honor to help out and see how much people were willing to give for a good cause.
The next day our stake had a big Wild Wild West BBQ in North Bend and we had a great time there. It was fun to visit with friends and see a lot of people we haven't seen in a long time. Isabella LOVES Horses! She always talks about horses and riding them. We tried back on the 4th of July to have her ride a pony and she got really freaked out. At the BBQ they had pony rides there. Issy was so excited and wanted to ride one. Ty and decided to stand in line fully knowing that the possibility of her getting on a horse might not happen. When it came to her turn, Ty lifted her up and she didn't get scared. She love it! She even went a second time because she loved it so much. It was so cute to see her excitment!:)
On Wednesday 17th, I took Issy to her first little Hot Tots Sports class at the North Bend community center. She gets kind of nervous around strangers and so I thought she might have a hard time but she LOVED it and took to the class and the teacher really well. It helped that she had her two little friends there, Haley and Jeffrey. She has 4 more classes and each week they are learning a new sport. Their first class was baseball.Issy running with her teacherDoing her stretches:)Throwing the ball to Haley. I love how I got her in the air.Running the bases after hitting the ball.

The next night a few of us ladies went out to celebrate my friend Laurie's birthday. We decided to go to Mike's restaurant up here on the Ridge where we live. My friends Amanda and Jen both work there and Amanda was working that night and got to wait on us. We enjoyed talking and hanging out till well past closing time.:)Amanda and her Ghost Buster vacumn to clean up after work.:)

The next night(this last Friday night), Ty, Issy and I ventured to the Puyallup Fair with my family. My sister was preforming there and so we made a whole night out of it. We love going to the fair every year. Issy favorite part of the whole night was seeing all the animals and riding on the Carousel. The food was great and of course Ty had to come home with their scones. We had a fun night! Looking at all the horses, Issy wanted to know each of their names.Issy having a conversation with all the geeseGo SIS!:) She would be so mad if she saw I put this picture up!Then on Saturday night I had the chance to go to the Tacoma Dome and see the So You Think You Can Dance Tour with my friends, Jen, Shantay, Sommer, Erin, Amanda and Amanda's mom and sister. We headed to TGI Fridays first and had some dinner and then headed to the show. It was so amazing to see them all dance live and it was fun because we all had watched the show and really enjoyed the dancers this year. These are some of the best shots I got from the evening.To end off my last week and my blog entry, I just wanted to give a little shout out to my Yankees. Although I am very saddened that they won't make the playoffs this year after 15 years, last night ESPN broadcast their last game at Yankee Stadium. They are turning Yankee Stadium into a park and building a new stadium next door. I so wish I could of been able to go to Yankee Stadium. My wonderful husband tried to get tickets to the game last night and have us fly out to New York but it was just way to expensive. Just the thought from him meant a lot ot me. They had a great tribute on ESPN last night and all the players walked around the field and thanked the fans. It was awesome to watch. The Yankees also capped off the night with a win. It has been a great couple of weeks!:)

A Fun Filled Few Days!:)

Last week we had a couple of busy days.:) On Thurday night our good friends Wendy and Kevin Burke were in town with their two kids Kyle and Anna. The Burkes were in our old ward Cougar Mountain Ward. They moved to Chicago a couple years ago for school and came back to Seattle to visit family and friends. They are now on their way to Dallas for Kevin's new job. So along with having them over, we also had some other friends over. We were all close back when we all lived here. The Hadley's, Brown's, Lathrop's and Steiner's joined us as well. The weather was perfect out so we had a BBQ in our front yard and all visited while the kids played until way late. After everyone left, Wendy and Kevin stayed with their kids till late and it was so nice for Ty and I to hang out again with them. We sure do miss them!All the Girls, Becky, Dayna, Amanda, Me, Michelle and Wendy

Starting on Wednesday night, my neighbor Jen started a puzzle. It is the 1000 places to see before you dies gorgeous beaches puzzle. When we started it, little did we know what that meant. About two days later and a little over 10 hours of work, we finally finished. We nicknamed ourselves the puzzle nerds. We had a really great time doing it though.:)
On Friday night, my wonderful husband took me to our annual Mariners vs Yankees game. Ty takes me every year because he knows how much I love my Yankees!:) This year is a hard one for me because it is the first time in 15 years that it looks like the Yankees won't make the playoffs. We still had a great time. We sat twenty rows back from home plate and had a great view of the field and Derek Jeter.:) We watch Brandon Morrow of the Mariners throw a no hitter into the 8th inning. It was pretty amazing to have almost watched a little bit of history. My hubby really does love me because he is not the biggest fan of the Yankees and still every year he goes with me and takes pictures for me and accepts this part of me.:)Saturday we had the Hadley's over for some great Nacho dip and to watch the Huskies vs BYU game. BYU prevailed in the end. It was a great game to watch and we had a good time. We then played a new game that Ty and I got called Pirates Cove. Ty and I love to play games and we decided to try a new game. It was pretty fun. Little did we know until after the Hadleys left that we had forgotten half of the rules. Ty and I can't wait to play it again and get it right this time.:0)

Sunday was a great day at church, nap time and a nice dinner at my parents. Ty got these cute pictures before church of Issy. I love this outfit that she has one.:)
Man, it was a busy couple of days but we had a blast!:)

Are You Ready For Some Football!!!!!...........

The last 3 years, I have been involved in a fantasy football team with 9 guys. I am a HUGE lover of football and all sports. My hubbies best bud Chad is the head of our league and has done a great job putting it together the last few years. This year he wanted to do something different. Instead of drafting online like we have done in the past, this last Friday night he had us all over to his house and we drafted live together. You should of seen us all with our lists and the craziness. It was great! We were all there except for Nick Simon who was gone for the weekend. My hubby did double drafting for Nick and himself. Also Chad's buddy Nick Call lives in Utah so we had him on the webcam drafting. The other guys in our league are Teage Christensen, Matt Godsey, Adam Lathrop, Jared Johnson, Kyle Hadley, my hubby Ty, Chad, Nick, Nick and I. Chad and his wife Amanda even "Borrrowed" a pulpit from the church to make it official. Nice huh!!!! Chad also had trophies made up for the past 3 year winners. It was pretty funny! We had a blast! Hurray for Football!!!:)
