New pics of Bailey

Here are some new Pics of my niece, she is getting so big, and my goodness she looks like a Gernant, don't worry, I can see the Howe in here too. She is a little over a month old and doing great! The last picture is a brag picture for me. My mom used to make cakes for us for everything, and I always wanted her to teach me, but we never seemed to get around to it. So with some of my birthday money I bought a kit for cake decorating, and when Bailey was born and my parents were down here, I finally learned. This with my first cake! Of course my sister Carrie helped too, it was fun to finally learn, and even better to eat. Lesson #1 of cake decorating, you really do only need as much icing as the directions say!

Bailey and Daddy

Bailey sleeping with Daddy, I think this one may be on her way to a Daddy's girl!

This is my cake, not the best job, but we sure had fun doing it, and it was so yummy!

Honey-dos

Well for the past two weekends Robbie has been diligently working on the yard. We had the rock delivered on Friday, and thanks to Dave, he got it all put down today. Dave, Debbie, and Braylon came over today to help out with the project. Of course Debbie, Braylon and I sat in the house and had a nice afternoon, while the boys worked diligently. Anyway here are some pics of the new rock border and shrubs, I am so glad that our yard is done and it looks great!

You can see the rock border around the outer edges of the yard, as well as around the patio, also check out the new shrubs.

This is the other side of the yard. I am just so impressed at how well my hubby did, he worked so hard for the past two weekends, and it totally paid off.

Baby Shower

About a month ago, my good friend Jeannette put on a baby shower for me. I finally got some pics loaded onto the computer from it. It was a wonderful shower, with really yummy cake, and it was great to spend time with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who came and brought presents, and thanks to everyone who sent gifts as well. We loved them all, and considering this is our first time around, we appreciate everything!! Thanks to Jeannette for putting on the shower, it was wonderful!

My yummy and gorgeous cake

Opening presents

The best part, presents!!!

Dining Out

About a month ago we attended the 321 Dining Out. I had never been so I was pretty excited about the whole thing. It was a lot of fun, and I quickly came to realize that the Air Force is just one big Fraternity, how fun that we get to be a part of that for the next 15 years!! Anyway, there was a photographer there, and we got our pictures taken, as much as I detest the photo, it is still pretty cute, and my Hubby couldn't look any better in his Mess Dress, I on the other hand look a tad bit swollen, but that comes and goes!

We sure did have a busy weekend, our grass hasn't done well since we moved into our house, so Robbie took it upon himself to replace the sod all by his lonesome this weekend. He started at about 6:30 am and finally got done about 8 last night. We still have to get rock to put on the side of the house, as well as around the outer perimeter, but that's a task for next weekend. Hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for another long week.

Something New

Well I have been wanting to set this up for a while, and I finally decided to get around to it. Figured it was best to do it before baby come. I am not guaranteeing that this will be updated regularly (by that I mean possibly weekly, definitely not daily), however this is a better guarantee that everyone will see pictures and such of the new addition that is going to be coming into our lives soon.

With that, I do want to add that close to a month ago I became an Aunt. My Sister Sara and her Husband Shane had baby #1, Bailey Lynn, on March 24th. She is adorable, and a great baby. I am just hoping I am as lucky as she is to have such a good baby, however if I am doomed with mother's curse, then I am preparing for the worst. I am going to keep this first post short, but I do want to include some pictures of my cute niece. I will try to keep up to date with pics of her as well, since my sister seems to be incapable of getting some out to us all, just kidding of course!!

Little Bailey, just cuter than ever!
