Denver

Well we just got back from our last trip this summer. We spent the week of the 14-18 just outside of Denver. A vacation for me and Jaycee, and work for Mike. Mike was training all week during the day so me and Jaycee went and hung out with my Aunt Paulette and my cousins Heather and Lindsey. We had a really good time. They took me boating and I did the best I have ever done on the wakeboard, and the kneeboard for that matter. It was so fun. They also took me to the Denver Aquarium.
I thought Jaycee was going to love it because she went nuts in Seattle. She liked it but she was a little grumpy. She did like the turtles!Mike got to play a little bit. Mostly work and homework for him.
It was fun spending time with my extended family. I should do that more often

We went to Lake Powell a couple of weeks ago. My family goes every year and we were unable to go last year because Jaycee was so new. We had such a great time. Jaycee loved floating in the water in her little crab. It was super hot so we spent a lot of time just floating:)
Every night it got really windy almost everybody's tents broke. But it wouldn't have been a Bailey vacation without some sort of weather inclement. I seriously think this is the first time I've ever been to Lake Powell with out it raining! crazy, I kind of missed it.
I think half the reason I like to go is just to get to spend time with my family. I love just sitting and talking to them, or playing "Queen of the water Tramp" or whatever we do. We always have such a good time. I have the best family:)

Oh and by the way, I am the Queen of the water Tramp!

Freedom

Happy July!! I am so thankful for my freedom, for this wonderful country that I live in. For the men and women who protect my freedom everyday, for the opportunity that I have to choose where I want to go to church, work, shop or even to play. I am truly blessed to live in such a great place.

Happy Birthday Jaycee

Wow, I can't believe that it has already been a year!! Time goes by so fast. Jaycee is our only child, she is the light of our lives. She always makes us smile. Shes a little tease. She loves to scuz people off. Its pretty embarrising. I was at the store the other day and the lady working the counter said "She's so cute how old is she?" Anyway Jaycee gave the lady the biggest scuz. That's not the first time and Im sure if wont be the last. She's moving all over the place now and she gets more fun everyday. Im looking forward to all the things she will accomplish this year! We celebrated Jaycee's birthday by going to the zoo in the morning and having her little party that night. We also went to Doug & Emmys for breakfast. Jaycee wasn't as impressed with the zoo as she was with the aquarium. We still had fun. She was really scared of that big ape her and Mike are sitting by. It was kind of funny, because I've never seen her be scared of anything.


For her party we just invited my family and Mikes family which is about 30 people. We had it in our backyard which worked out nicely. We had a little pool and slip and slid. Jaycee even got in the pool and liked it, she also liked the slip and slid. My mom gave her a little couch that she loves. It's so funny to see her sitting on her little couch. She looks so big.
I really can't believe she's one. What a year.

Happy Birthday Jaycee!!
