June Recap

June recap: Jaycee graduated from kindergarten! We camped at Lagoon.  Jaycee turned 6! Went to Pineview with my family. And found out we are pregnant!

I'll start with Jaycee graduating from kindergarten.

Is kindergarten the only grade they graduate from, or do they graduate every year? They had a really cute program. We are proud of her. She worked really hard, I know it was hard for her to change schools mid year, but she did so good.

On Thursday June 13th we went and camped at Lagoon for two nights for Jaycee's birthday. All but one of her Bailey cousins came. She had a blast riding the rides with her cousins. They stayed out late and had so much fun!

 

 

 

 

We had her actual Bailey party Thursday night. We had Doritos salads and a Strawberry Danish dessert cake or chocolate cupcakes.

Jaycee said her favorite part was riding the White Roller coaster at night time.

This year for her homemade gift I made her bunny slippers.

On Friday the kids got my dad to go on all the rides. He didn't even get sick. Here he is, his first time on Wicked with some of Jaime's kids.  He said he liked it!

We had so much fun we are planning on going back in July.

Jaycee's real birthday was on Saturday, we didn't really do anything, except try to recover from our camping trip.  Then on Sunday she had her Borgstrom party.

Grandma LouLou made her this pillowcase dress.

She got a lot of great gifts.

Grandma LouLou made her a really yummy ice cream cake.  It was so good.

So now we have a 6 year old.

Jaycee loves to write and do math. (her words, not mine)

She loves to play in the water, to tease, ride her bike. She likes to play with her poly pockets and her Barbies. She likes to draw pictures and make books. She love loves Lagoon and riding all the rides.  She is so great and we are so blessed to have her in our lives.

 

This last weekend my family went up to Pineview to camp. The kids had a lot of fun.  Jaycee loves riding in the tube and swimming.(Even though it was windy and cold.) Wesley and me rode the tube once, I had to make him get out there, and once grandpa got the right speed (slower then slow) he liked it.  He mostly likes to stay on the shore and play in the sand.  He would dig holes, fill them with water, and then use them as sinks. He would put sand allover his arms and legs them wash them in the muddy holes he had dug.  This kept him busy for awhile.

The kids had so much fun, hopefully next time we go it will be a little warmer.  Our next camp over is scheduled for August. I'm sure it will be warmer then.

 

And last, we found out I am pregnant! We actually found out in May, but we didn't get an ultrasound until June 11th.  I had another ultrasound done yesterday and everything looks good.  The baby was measuring at 9 week and 4 days.  We have been trying for a little over two and a half years, we are  so excited and feel so blessed to be able to add to our family.  I have been pretty sick and the last couple of days have been the worst! I keep reminding myself it is all worth it.  I don't remember it being this bad with the others. Maybe it was and the Lord helped me to forget. I've heard it's gets worse the older you are...I guess I am getting pretty old.  So all of our camping trips have not been much fun for me, or Mike, because he has to do everything! I am so blessed to have him!  Lucky for me he works from home, so he makes breakfast, lunch and dinner.  He cleans the house and does the laundry, the shopping, and pretty much all of the taking care of the kids.  He is pretty amazing, and I love him!

 

 

Ready for Summer

I feel like I'm falling behind. Easter seems like forever ago.

We've played a whole season of Soccer. Jaycee did so good this year!

 

She really got in there this year.

Wesley really liked it his first game.

 

 

After his first game he pretty much just liked laying on the grass. :) It was still fun though.  I'm not sure that I will be signing him up for fall season.

Me and Amber coached both of their teams. It was fun, but we were both glad it was over. Jaycee is already talking about basketball. I told her she still has another season of soccer before she can play basketball. She really wants to take dance also, but for Christmas we got season Lagoon passports. And we have several camping trips planned, so I think we will be pretty busy this summer.

We have already been to Lagoon a handful of times. Jaycee is fearless! Her favorite ride is Wicked.

After riding Wicked I took her on the Colossus, during the ride she was telling me it was too slow! I'm pretty sure I didn't ride the Colossus until I was 12 and even then I was pretty scared. The last time we went she rode the White roller coaster. She didn't love it at first, but Mae liked it, so we did it again and that time she loved it. Wesley likes going also. Luck for him he is too short to ride the big Roller Coasters.  The first time we went he wouldn't ride anything. The second time we went, Kayla was with him and he liked everything a lot better. He just needed a friend. They are so cute riding the rides together.

 

 

 

 

 

I can't believe Wesley went on the Tidal Wave again.  He went on it the first time we went and hated it.  So when he wanted to go on it again I was shocked.  He hated it just as much the second time as he did the first time.

Who doesn't love the bumper cars?

We've had so much fun already, it's hard to believe that summer hasn't started for us yet.  Jaycee still has one more week left of school.

Over Memorial Day Weekend we went to Star Valley with Trevor and Katie, and Amber and Tyson. Trevor stayed with us in the Motel.  Amber stayed with Tyson's grandparents in their trailer. The kids loved being together.

 I hope they always stay this close.

On Friday we went to Jackson Hole for the day.  We went to a mountain man Rendezvous. That was interesting.

 We went to the Bar J Chuck wagon. The kids did so good. The food was pretty good.  We both got the chicken and beef.  Next time I would just get the beef.  It was so good.

 The kids loved walking around, they had a lot of neat stuff to look at.

 On Saturday we spent the day at the Grand Teton National Park.

 This might be Jenny lake.  We hiked around one lake to get to another one that was really big.  I don't remember the names of the Lakes.

 To be honest I was so worried about running into a bear I didn't pay to close attention to anything, other then looking for bears.

 The kids loved it.  It's too bad it wasn't warmer, we would have let the kids get in.  But the water was freezing and the high that day was only like 67.

 Mike with the Tetons.  Mike has actually climbed Middle Teton.

 More cousin pictures.

 On Sunday we hiked up to a geyser in Afton.

 What a cute little family. :)

 For some reason Wesley started to pose like this.  I think it is his superman pose. Jaycee goes right along with him.

 Don't we have the cutest kids ever?

 

We've been working pretty hard with Jaycee on riding here bike.  She has been riding for a while, but yesterday she figured out how to start by herself! She is pretty awesome.

 Getting started is a little scary.  Once she gets going, it's all good.

We are looking forward to a fun summer.

 

 

 

Easter

We are all settled at Mike's parents. Jaycee and Wesley have been taking tumbling for a couple of weeks.

 Wesley is ready to quit already. He says it is too hard. :( It is so cute to watch, I'm sad he doesn't want to keep taking. I have them both signed up for Soccer. I think it starts next week. That should be interesting. We had a really good Easter. It started with an hunt on Monday.

 Jaycee also lost a tooth, along with 4 of her Bailey cousins!

We dyed some eggs.

Jaycee made her bunny ears hat at school on Friday.  Mike has Fridays off so we went to the Gateway to Tuscanos for lunch (I had a birthday coupon, so I ate for free, and kids eat free, and we still spent 30 bucks!  But it is so good.) then we went to The Croods.  It was such a fun show.  Jaycee wore her hat everywhere we went.  She even made Wesley his very own.  What a nice big sister.  

This was Saturday at the Bailey Party.

All the Bailey cousins with Grandma and Grandpa Bailey.

Easter morning right before church.

The Borgstrom party after church.

It's nice to remember all that Jesus Christ has done for us. And what better way to celebrate His resurrection then to go to church and spend time with family.

Jaycee is liking school now.  Wesley is sad everyday when she leaves and he tries to get on the bus with her almost everyday!  Its crazy that he still has 3 years before he starts school.  He is so smart, he could probably go this coming fall and be fine.

Oh and the kids got hair cuts yesterday! Nice summer hair, and today it is snowing! It must be spring in Utah!
