MHS "98 Grads!!!!

Ok, so all you you guys out there who graduated from Madera High School in 1998, I found out that we are having a 10 year reunion on November 1, at the Golf Course, so plan ahead if you want to attend. Please spread the word to everyone....Gina, Marcee, Carl, Mark, BJ, Brandon, Lani, Bret and anyone else you can think of.

1st day of class

Today was the first day back to work, with my new class at the Madera Community College. I have a small class of 5 girls so far. The class is MWF from 9-11:30. The first day seemed to go really well. I actually enjoy teaching! Bailey also has problems when her mommy is working and not with her. She did ok for Grandma and Grandpa today, but still had at least an hour long crying fit. Hopefully she will get used to me leaving for a few hours. All in all I think my class and Bailey did pretty well. Next week Trent switches work schedule and starts a new semester at school so we will be busy busy busy!

Vacation to the Beach

As summer is coming to an end, we realized that we did not go on a family vacation. So we decided to go to the Beach for a few days. The weather was absolutley perfect and we had a great time. This was Bailey's first time and she loved the sand and all the neat things that she saw. She did not like the cold water though. Thursday we went to a waterpark and Bailey loved going in the wave pool and letting the small waves crash around her legs. Now it's back to work and school until our next vacation around the Holiday season.

Morning walks

Every morning, Bailey and I go for a walk with a friend of mine. The past few days it was so sunny and hot, Bailey would make it about 20 minutes before she started crying, so I decided that maybe it was time to have her wear her sunglasses. To my surprise, it works. Now Bailey is happy and content that the sun is not glaring in her eyes and is good for about an hour. She likes wearing her glasses and doesn't try to take them or her hat off. What a good girl she is!

Princess Bailey

We bought Bailey this pretty princess dress before she was born and she finally was able to wear it today. Everyone at church said that she looked like a fairy princess, although she threw up in it twice and kinda smelled like barf. Oh well!

Bailey's eating solids

For the past few weeks, Bailey has been eating solid foods, not just baby food, but big people food also. She has no teeth, but sucks on things until she can swallow them. So we decided it was time to put her in a high chair. The first day we did, she fell asleep with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in her mouth. The Dr. said that at 5 months should should just start eating solid baby food but not to rush. I guess she thinks she is older because she acts like she is always starving and wants to eat what everybody else is, so we let her ( to some extent)

Bailey's new toy

So we found out today that some of the best things to keep Bailey occupied, are so simple. She got a hold of a bag of popcorn and entertained herself for half an hour. Thank goodness for simple pleasures.
