Hurley update

I realized the other day that I haven't given any updates on Hurley, who really doesn't look like a puppy anymore. He now weighs a big 37 pounds with at least another 20 pounds to go! He's a great playful puppy and were still happy we got him, even Brodi seems to finally be coming around with the fact that he's not the only dog anymore.

1st dentist appt

Bailey had her first dental appt today and did such a great job even the dentists were impressed. She faked us out because she cried about the dentist being scary and how she didn't like the dentist up until the point of her name being called to go back. The dentist did a wonderful job; they explained all the tools to her, let her try them all out, pick her own fluoride flavor, and even had a TV on the ceiling for her to watch during the check-up. She received a sticker, prize, a t-shirt, and a bag full of goodies for being such a big girl. The dentist said she had no cavities and great spaces between all her teeth for adult teeth to come in.

Ready for a luau

Bailey had a Hawaiian Luau birthday party this weekend and she had the perfect outfit for the occasion thanks to her dad picking it up in Hawaii for her.

Swim lessons

Bailey has now graduated her second summer of swim lessons. Now she says she can swim like a mermaid but wants to keep her legs forever and ever!

Bailey goes to work with Daddy

Bailey finally got an opportunity to go to work with her Daddy and see where he works. I can't really say she saw what he does on a day-to-day basis because that wasn't the case. Bailey will now what to go to work with Daddy everyday. Besides seeing the "Marine cars" as Bailey calls them and the guns, she got to jump on jumpers, get her face painted, eat sno cones at 9 in the morning, drive remote control cars, and shoot a paintball gun. They even finished off the day with lunch at the chow hall eating all the good foods that a 3 year old loves. Just your average day in the life of a Marine!

"The Greatest Show on Earth"

We took Bailey to see her first circus this past weekend along with the Cassie, Eric, and Carson. Bailey seemed to enjoy the circus especially the elephants and tigers, but it was definitely the new age circus nothing like what Jeremy and I remember them being.

Another silly pic

After the circus we stopped in for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe which Jeremy, Bailey, nor I have ever been too. In the middle of dinner there was a "rainstorm" in the forest that Bailey was not a fan of at all, and she still talks about the scary rainstorm. A balloon lady did come around to the tables when we was all done eating and made Bailey a pair of fairy wings and a magic wand so she can continue practicing her "flying" skills.

Big Girl Bike

Bailey has finally upgraded her scooter and tricycle for her very first big girl bike. And for the very first time, she picked out something that wasn't Dora. She had the options of Dora, Princesses, or Tinkerbell and it shocked Jeremy and I both when she chose Tink. Since watching the Tinkerbell movie and going to Disneyland it's become her new thing along with the obsession of trying to "fly" like Tinkerbell. For being a first time rider she rides like a pro. She spent every last minute of daylight and a couple of hours into the night riding her bike today. To say the least she likes it a lot. Here's a few pics of Bailey with her new recreational activity.

A new do

Since Bailey first started showing signs of having hair, I've been waiting for it to get long enough to cut it into a cute bob. After waiting only 3 1/2 years Bailey finally got one all thanks to my friend Cassie. I must say it is super cute and we will probably keep it like this until she decides something different. Thanks Cassie!

A perfect bob

Back to Work

After a busy fun-filled 3 weeks Jeremy has officially checked back into work. Bailey and I are trying to get back into our weekly routine and Jeremy is trying to get back into the swing of not only working again but learning his new job at SOI. Bailey and I loved having Jeremy around during the day and its been nice to finally enjoy a summer together as a family.

After going through all the pictures we've been taking these past weeks, I found a few randoms I thought I'd share.
