Thanks Jill for coming up.

Bailey acting tired and yawning.

Here the girls are all tuckered out.

Kaya is playing with the stroller as Casey is playing with her vacoon. Sissy has taught her to take the tube off her play vacoom and yell in it. It sounds really cool when you do that. lol

Here is Casey showing off.

Casey taking her Zebra out for a ride.

Now Jill you should have had twins. That looks so good and you are a natural.

Sept 13th, 2008--We start the garage.

Ok ignore this photo of Bailey swinging until the end of this blog entree you will see why. I couldn't find out how to cut it and copy it it wouldn't let me so I let it but look at this picture last.

Well today we started to garage. I'm so excited I can't wait. They had it all ready to start setting the post and then Daniel check the property line and we were alittle to close so we have it reset and ready for the post to be set. The only problem was the storm came and the electric went. So until we get electric we are on standby again. Boo hoo.

This is Rick (Papa) and Tim getting it all lined up.

Papa and Daniel working hard.

The garage will sit at the end of the driveway. Looking at it this way it will be to the right of the house. I can't wait. I told Daniel we need to knock out some windows and put a door there and then a walkway to the garage and then when it rains we won't get wet. He acted like he didn't hear me but I know he did. lol

This is Papa, Tim and Daniel reameasuring the length due to the property line.

Now they are measuring where the garage doors are going.

Daniel and his dad looking to make sure all is good.

Bob stopped by to see what we were doing and Bailey went out to help.

Bailey decided to swing instead. See the first photo.

Sept 10th, 2008--Firehouse Pizza and Park night.

Well we decided to go to the park Wed. night. We ate at Firehouse and then wen to the park at the school. It was alot of fun. I would like to start out by saying that Bailey picked her own clothes. She wore the blue top, pink tights, pink house shoes, pink shorts and the hair stuff was her idea to. She had a style that only her could pick out. lol Here are our pictures of our evening. It was alot of fun. Nana and Papa surprised us at the park and played with us. Enjoy the pictures. Tricia

Well here it is the outfit. She loves to pick out her own clothes.

This ride Bailey got on but decided she wanted to walk the blue bars instead.

Here is Nana and Bailey on the slide. I do have a picture of Nana coming down the slide but I will save that picture for later. She warned me not to put it on here so I will just send copies of the picture out in the mail to everyone. ........just kidding Nana or am I . lol

Casey was so cute. She loved the slides. The only problem was her back was red from going down them so much. Poor thing.

Bailey loved this spider web thing. She just wouldn't do it without Daddy.

Casey loved riding the animals. She rode all of them.

Bailey posing on the walkway.

Me and Casey going down the slide.

Daddy doing the bars. I didn't get the camera out in time to get pictures of Nana showing Bailey how to do the bars but I will be more prepared next time Nana.

Bailey doing the thing? You hold on and slide all the way to the other side of the equipment. It looked like alot of fun just hold on.....

Bailey on the horse before she decided to just stand on the blue bar.

Casey on the horse.

Here is Papa doing the swing slide thing. He doesn't even know I got this picture. Surprise Papa. lol

Bailey and Papa trying to decided what to do with the circle thing. Bailey wants to slide down the bar and Papa said to climb down it. So they are talking that one out together.

Well that was our night out hope you all enjoyed. Next time everyone else should come and join us. I promise I will only take pictures of the kids next time. lol

August 5th, 2008--Our visit with (Puzzle) Granny and Papa

Well we finally got a thumbs up to go and visit Puzzle Granny. (it is puzzle granny because she has tons of puzzles that Bailey gets to do. lol) Granny had open heart surgery and we have been staying away since I was afraid of what the girls would do when they saw her. I was afraid Casey would crawl on her or want Granny to hold her and she just couldn't do that. But we were able to visit Friday night and the girls were so happy. They missed them so much. They were both grinning the entire time and lovin the toys and puzzles. Enjoy the pictures of our visit. Thanks you Granny and Papa for letting us come up and visit. We are so glad you both are doing good and up for company. We love you both more than you will ever know.

Love Tricia

Casey trying to pick up the toys the only thing is the toys are to go into the bucket not out of the bucket. She still doesn't have that down pat. lol

August 30th, 2008--Our last day of swimming. boo hoo

Well since it is almost time for mom and dad to close the pool. I decided to take the girls swimming for the last time. My friend Leah and her daughter Ella came with us to enjoy in some sun and fun time. Leah has been my friend for as long as I can remember. We started going to school together in middle school but were friends from church before then. Ejoy our pictures of our last day in the pool at mom and dads. Thank you so much mom and dad for letting us swim all summer. It was so much fun and the girls really enjoyed your pool.
