No David! Nov.4th 2010

It seems like there has been quite a bit of talk on this blog about Reese lately. Not that we don't have two other kids, it is just that she has been on a roll lately. She has all of us (Lance and Claire included) in stitches most of the time. Here is her reading us the book "NO, DAVID" by David Shannon.

So after many hours of trying to load the video it just didn't work. You all will just have to take my word for it that it was hilarious and adorable. You can find it on my facebook page too, under videos. It really is worth the look.

Potty Trianing Reese.

I caved. For many months (like 7) now Reese has been begging for me to potty train her. She has told me that she need to go potty and I would remind her that she was wearing a diaper and had no need to use the toilet. Potty training is the one thing about being a mother that I HATE!!! Well the day after she turned three seem as good as day as any to start the process. So slave to the timer, Reese goes potty on the toilet every time it beeps. She is doing well. Only a few accidents, all of them wet, none of them brown. She at least has that part of it down. Cross your fingers that she will be a quick learner and we will be through the worst of it soon. From the look of her in this picture she is thrilled, and I must admit on some level I am too, cause this will be the last time I have to do this. Go Reese, we really are very proud of you.

Halloween 2010

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE BAILEY HOUSE!!!!

Reese was Belle (from Beauty and the Beast). Claire was Abby Caddaby (from sesame street) And Lance was Avatar the Last Air bender.

Right after these pictures were taken it began to sleet. The weather was so iffy all day that we had made plans for a small Halloween party with the Hickman's just in case the kids could not go "Trick or Treating".

We had spooky spider seven layer dip. Eyeball deviled eggs

Jello ghosts, witch's brew and Twinkie mummies, with a side of eyeballs sandwiches for dinner.

My favorite little man Chase. (He was a dragon)

Even if the night ended with no ones candy buckets being filled, at least our tummies were full of yummy food.

It was a great "little party". And in the end the weather let up and the kids got to go trick or treating after all. We had a great Halloween, hope you all did too.

A Visit From Abe and Henry Oct. 29th 2010

Abe and Lance showing off the tattoo's.

We don't get to see many cousins from the Bailey side of the family very often anymore since everyone has moved away from Utah, so when they do come for a visit it is always something that the kids look forward too. This week Abe and Henry came to spend the night. Everyone played until way to late in the night, but they had such a good time together we hated to put them to sleep.

Lance's school holds a Halloween Costume Parade every year. This year after the Parade, his class did a small performance of Halloween songs and poems that they had learned in class. After wards the kids were invited to show their parents and siblings around the class room. Lance showed his sisters his desk, the computers, and the many Halloween books in the reading corner and even took the time to read them his favorite one. It was so cute.
