Vegas Day 2

Our second day of our trip was far more successful. There is so much that you can do and see in Vegas without paying a cent so our day was spent walking the strip and seeing all the must see attractions of Vegas: "dancing water" aka Bellagio fountains, lions and their baby cubs, volcano, pirate show, and of course Circus Circus. Her favorite part of the day was seeing the Excalibur but to her it was the Princess castle. We had to ride the elevator to the very top of the tower so she could be a "princess." By the end of the day we were more than tired and ready for bed.

"The Castle" We were able to visit the gold tower at the very top

Vegas Day 1

We finally made it back to Vegas to take Bailey to see all the glitz and glam that Las Vegas has to offer. She loved it so much that she was convinced we should pack up and move and daddy should get a new job in Vegas, she did not want to leave at all. Unfortunately, the first day of our mini vaca it rained all day so we grabbed some dinner and took advantage of the game room, swimming pool, hot tub, and Bailey really enjoyed running from room to room in our hotel.

She loved this pillow

Rainy Day

This last weekend we purchased a new camera that takes amazing crisp pictures and from a good distance too; unfortunately CA has been having some crazy weather and we have not been able to try the new camera out outside where I know it will take even better pictures. We spent our entire rainy MLK day inside in our pjs and playing our fun new Wii game Just Dance. Jeremy refused to let me take any pictures of him playing but I managed to get some of Bailey, who btw is really good at the game.

Poser Poserton

After looking for her sunglasses since the end of the summer, Bailey finally found them hiding under the stove. She was so thrilled with her find she decided she needed to do a few poses Hollywood style.

Summer in January

With temperatures in the mid 70's we've taken advantage and spent a lot of time at the beach this week. Sometimes we do miss having the change of seasons but when you can spend the days at the beach in January, warm temps all year around doesn't seem so bad.

Trying so hard to roll the rock

Snack Time

Running back with treasures to bury

Hard at Work

1 fish, 2 fish

We added two new additions to our house yesterday....goldfish. So far they seem to have adjusted just fine and are enjoying their new mermaid home. Originally Bailey was going to name them Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse then she changed their names to Blacky and Goldfish so as of now I don't think names have been officially decided.

Tough day...fell asleep watching football

Chipmunk impersonations

Last night for NYE we took Bailey to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. She has seen the previews over and over and was so excited to go see it. It was a great movie and I highly recommend it, I think it even kept her attention more than Princess and the Frog. Bailey loves to impersonate a few of the lines from the movie so I thought I'd share with everyone.

Swimsuit Season already??

Well I definately don't think were anywhere near ready to go frolicking in the ocean but the swimsuits are out and ready for sale. Bailey being the ballerina wanna be spotted the swimsuit of her dreams while we were out and about today and will not take it off for anything. It screams Bailey!!!!

Practicing her ballerina leaps

Still practicing....

Unicorn

Bailey has consistently asked for two things for Christmas a swimming puppy and a unicorn. Since we can't really get her a real unicorn there is unicorn at Build a Bear you can make that she has been begging us to let her make. A gift card to Build a Bear magically appeared in her Christmas stocking and she finally got to build her first bear or in this case a unicorn.

She's ready to go; picked out her unicorn and a heart for her

Bath time

After careful thought she decided to name her unicorn, Unicorn

Bailey's new ride

Bailey has officially traded her little Dora go kart for a big girl scooter. We've already had to charge it again since Christmas morning, she makes laps all day long through the living room and around the kitchen and back. Eventually it will be just an outside toy but for now she's having too much fun with it inside learning out to make tight turns and figuring out how to use the reverse without backing into anything. Here's a couple of pics of the one time she took it out for a ride.
