Bailey turns 4!

 
Some how this girl has turned 4!  I just can't beleive it!  Some days she seems so big and other days she still seems like a little baby.  Sugie bear stop growing up so fast!  Here is a little recap of the last year!
 

 
This was exactly one year ago at the indoor water park. You absolutely love water and would probaby swim everyday if we let you!
 

 
In January we enjoyed warm weather with a trip to the Heard Museum
 
 
and a few trips to the park.  You have become much more brave at parks this year and will pretty much tackle any obstacle
 
 
In February there were a few cold days that you played dress up and on the chalkbaord table with sister.  You have become quite the artist lately and draw big elaborate pictures.
 
 
You love the little baby playground at the church! HA!
 
 
In February we also enjoyed a few trips to the zoo and fed the girafees.
 
 
In March we made a trip to the arboretum,
 
 
Baylor,
 
 
and to Sea World were you favorite part were the dolphins and the roller coaster.
 
 
Canoeing with daddy.  You love your daddy and have him wrapped around your little finger.
 
 
Cousin Harper came to sty the night and you and her played and played.
 
 
You love to push sister around in the stroller and can be a really good big sister. You two play together pretty good now but can also have some pretty good fights.
 
 
March brought some rain so we got to enjoy our raincoats.
 
April brought really warm weather and you recieved a hand me down car from the neighbors that you love to drive sister around in.
 
 
We celebrated easter and you LOVED hunting eggs this year.
 
 
We made a trip to the Tyler zoo.  You have transformed this year and have really started to care about having friends.  It has been fun to watch you stop parrellel playing and starting to want to engage others to play.
 
 
 
You love any and everything that has to do with being pretty and being a princesss.
 
 
May you had your first trip to the denist.  I was so proud of you and you did such a great job
 
 
May also brought warmer temps and more swimming!
 
 
A last few trips to the zoo.
 
 
You make me laugh almost everyday.  I just never know what you might come up with around the house.  HEre I think you are trying to look like a bag lady! HA!
 
 
Then the next day you can have on some crazy outfit like this one.
 

 
You helped daddy grow tomoatoes.  I think you ate most of them before they made it inside the house.  You love yourself some veggies.
 
In June we went and picked blueberries again.  You LOVE blueberries!
 
 
June also brought very warm evenings which meant lots of playing in the water in the front yard and popsicles.
 
In July, your cousins came to visit for the 4th and you had a fun time.
 
 
You kept me laughing around the house as usual
 

Christmas 2012

 
We had a very busy but fun Christmas.  My sister, Melody and her family were here to visit and the girls were in cousin heaven.  On Sunday night we went to my other sister Karen's house and so the kids got a few early gifts.  Davey is the Lego master!  Sister was bound and determined to get into his pieces and mess them up.  So we gave her some mega blocks.
 
 
Sugie got a princess playdoh set and she loves it!
 
 
Christmas eve we rode around in the back of Trever's truck and looked at christmas lights. It was a little chilly but a lot of fun!  Then Davey, Kelsey, and Bailey put out some reindeer food to guide santas sleigh.  Kelsey slept in Bailey's room and she loved it!
 
 
The reindeer food seemed to help and he found our house.
 
 
Bailey got a princess vanity.  She loves it a lot.
 
 
Sister got a little 4 wheeler and she was pretty excited!
 
 
They both got this little train/car table.
 
 
Sugie and the talking vanity.
 
 
Sister checking out big sisters new toy
 
 
Playing with the new table.
 
 
Then we had breakfast and waited on my parents and Karen and harper to get here.  THe girls were chomping at the bit to open presents.
 
 
I think Bailey may have loved opening the presents as much as the presents themselves.  She can read her name so would go under the tree and look for more presents for herself.
 
 
Trev's present: a boy barbie.  It is what Bailey insisted on getting him so that he could play Barbies with her! HA!
 
 
Mermaid Dora for sister
 
 
Dog Cousins: Gus and MArgo
 
 
Probably the best presetn of all was a WHITE CHRISTMAS!  By the afternoon the rain turned to snow.
 
 
The kids were super excited!
