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!:)

Hey dude, we were at SYTYCD too!

Alisha wore a light-up button that said "Chelsie Wannabee" - pretty funny.

We didn't get any pictures, but yours look fabulous. Would you mind sending me the highest-resolution/largest file size versions that you can to my gmail acct? We'd love to have them for the photo album!!

Thanks, you're a true SYTYCD pal!
