Welcome to the world,

Blake Tor Bailey. Our little nephew was born last month. I just received this picture and had to share it with you. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law have been greatly blessed by his beautiful presence.:) What a little angel!:)


Congrats Tor and Mandy, we love you!:)

Another Year Has Come and Gone........

On Monday(Memorial Day) it was my 29th birthday. It is weird to think I am one year away from 30. Crazy!!! So Ty asked me what I wanted to do and I said since it is Memorial Day lets do a BBQ. He enlisted the help of our good friend Mara and together they planned a fun BBQ up at Tanner James Park next to Mara's house. We had a great time eating, playing kick ball and all visiting together. Besides us and Mara and her family(the Sundwalls), the Simons, Christensens, Reynolds, Hadleys, Flowers, Lathrops, and Smiths all joined in the fun. We also celebrated with some yummy ice cream cake and Heather Smith got sang to with me because her birthday was the 23rd. It was so much fun to all get together and I appreciate all of them taking the time out to come and celebrate with us.:)

Later that night a few of us ladies got together for our annual Monday night ritual at Laurie Roddy's house. There are a select few of us who love the Bachelor and Bachelorette and we all get together every Monday and pound down the sweets and watch our show. Thanks Laurie, Marlo, Sommer, Jen and Amanda for making the rest of my night so fun!:)

The Flowers gave me the fun lei to wear!:)

Party at Kids Bounce

This year when deciding what to do for a party for Issy, we decided to do it at Kids Bounce in Preston, WA. It is a big warehouse where there are a few big bouncy tents blown up for all the kids(and adults) to play in. We rented out the place for 1 1/2 hours and had a blast. We were very happy to have my parents, sister, Ty's sisters, brother-in-law and our niece to join us. We also had the Hadleys, Simons, Flowers, Reynolds, Christensens, Hastings, Clarks and Lathrops join us as well. Issy loved playing with all her friends. We had pizza, ice cream cake and presents. It was a blast and we appreciate all you that joined us in a fun night!:)
