Bailey is 4! Correction 2+2=4!

For a long time leading up to her 4th birthday, Bailey refused to be 4 years old. Actually when she turned 3 she still wanted to be 2. Poor girl has been denying her age for years now. A few weeks before she turned 4 I told her that 2 plus 2 equals 4. And like magic she was OK with being 4 just as long as I said, 2+2=4. So finally she is fessing up to being her real age of 4 years old. So, this year instead of having a number candle on her cake we had the bakery write 2+2=4 on her double decker cookie cake!

We ended up having a Kai Lan birthday theme this year even though Bailey was set on having a Super Mario Brothers theme (I just couldn't have a boy theme for my girly girl). But I think the party went off without a hitch. The girls dressed in their authentic Asian outfits, we had Kai Lan decorations, lots of different Chinese food and Chinese take out boxes for party favors. We had a delicious "Ladybug Festival" cake and cupcakes and a double decker cookie cake with green icing. (Bailey's favorite color)

The ONLY pink and the smallest Mario shirt we could find. It is now a night gown. She wants to wear it every night.

Spring 2010

The family had a wonderful Easter this year. The Easter bunny came to visit Brianna and Bailey and left lots of yummy treats and toys.


The girls are always telling Wesley and I how much they want a pet. But due to allergies and other factors it just isn't possible. However, we came to an agreement and added 8 tiny pets to our family. 2 neon pink, 2 neon orange, 2 neon yellow/Green and 2 neon blue and red fish. Though tiny, the kids are very happy to finally experience having a pet.



Here are some photos of the girl's cousin Madison's birthday party. Notice how Bailey is eyeballing that cake! Her faces are priceless!



For one of the girls' Easter excursions, we visited the Willinghams in Albany and had an Easter egg hunt. Here is the crazy gang.

We stopped by Srtiplings on the way home to visit the pink pig!


In April we took a trip to Massee Lane Gardnes in Fort Valley with the girl's cousin Madison and Grandma Gwen. The girls loved running through the Secret Garden like trails and looking at all the beautiful flowers.







The last of the Easter activites was the Easter egg hunt at the Arnold's. Unfortunately Brianna wasn't feeling very well so I had to stay behind to take care of her. Luckily Wesley was able to take Bailey and she had a great time visiting and hunting Easter eggs with her many cousins.



Bailey loves to get Mario movies from the RedBox!

Videos from Dec 09, January and February 2010

I tend to forget to upload videos, so here are a few from the past couple of months.


This is where they call out all the cheerleaders names and the girls do a run through.



This is the Lady Bug team cheering. I think Brianna is on the front row on the right end.



This is the girls dancing on New Years Eve.



This is Bailey singing and dancing with her Hannah Montana guitar for Papa Ricky and Nana.

Circus and Snow

Wesley and I took the kids to their very first circus this month! We all had the most amazing time! The girls danced, cheered, and even shed some tears. The tears came twice. Once when the man in the magic show sawed the lady in half. Bailey was extremely upset that they were going to cut that lady! She started bawling but as soon as she saw that the lady was OK she said, "I'm not crying" and started wiping her face. The second set of tears came when we had to leave. Of course, Bailey was not very happy about this. She did not want to leave the circus! Even though there were tears, we had the very best first circus experience I could have asked for!

Before the show started, Bailey was dancing up and down the aisles. Here are two videos of her dancing. They are sideways, sorry I don't know how to fix it.











It snowed! We got about 3 inches in south Georgia which was amazing! The kids had a great time playing in it and were very sad when it melted. Luckily it stayed around for a few days so the kids really got to enjoy it. Brianna even got a day off from school!
