Student of the Month

Yesterday Carissa was recognized for "Outstanding Achievement in all Areas" at an awards assembly. Here she is with Mrs. Wu, her teacher. In addition to the recognition, she was awarded a meal to Mimi's Cafe!

This Is How We Picnic

Yes, even for picnics Derek wears his outfit of choice- underwear. But that was ok with Carissa, so long as he took her directions on the correct way to do a picnic.

Boys and Dirt

Grayson's favorite thing to do these days is play in the dirt, while Derek's seems to be "planting" his "goo-berries and blueberries" and then protecting them from an everpresent Grayson who is intent on destroying everything Derek does.


No post would be complete without some shots of Derek posing.
Work it, Derek. Work it.

The Latest Haps at the Bailey's

Not much has been happening here in CP lately, but I did want to share some cute pictures from recent days.

We do a lot of building "trains" around here:

And Paige is always very busy lining up all of her babies in various events. Here they are all lined up against the wall.
Last night Jeremiah found a new use for my sling while I was doing the dishes. I guess I'll have to make a man sized one for him!

The other day while I was making the bed, I laid Ben down on the floor on one of the pillows. Well, Paige ran right over and grabbed a pillow for herself, pulled up my comforter and grabbed one of her library books. She started reading Ben a story (ok, so the story was just a made up one that kind of went along to the pictures, but anyhoo...) It was soooo cute! Ben was looking at the book, but as soon as I grabbed the camera he was more interested in me taking his picture.

Paigey really does love her little brother, and he loves her right back!

Derek- In All His Glory

This was after church a couple of weeks ago. I tried to catch him on his scooter, but he wouldn't slow down enough for me to get a decent picture. His outfit of choice- what can I say?

It's a BOY!!

Evan's going to have a new baby brother! We have to think of names, so suggestions are very welcome. I tried to scan the ultrasound picture of his penis, but it didn't turn out very well. So you'll just have to believe me. Two crazy boys running around... can't wait!

Sweet Moves

Derek shows off his sweet moves at Dockweiler Beach.
