More Birthday Pics

9 YEARS OLD

Well, it has happened. My baby has turned 9 years old. I am a little late with this post, I understand, but things have just been so so busy! You're lucky to even get this.

On October, 24th we celebrated Abbi's 9th birthday. I always ask what kind of party they would like to have and she decided this year to have a "SPA" party. Thanks to my wonderful friend Becky Endsley we were able to have the party at her house. There was no way I could accomodate 7 girls plus family in my tiny house. She was gracious enough to let us have it at hers. I made Towel Wraps for each of the girls. The had their own slippers to wear. We did Pedicures, Manicures, Parifin Wax, Facials, Make-Up and Hair. Thanks to my sister Emily - she did a great job on their hair. We had a wonderful day and I think the girls had a great time. Thanks to all the moms for letting their girls come. Abbi was very thankful they were able to join in on the fun! Here are a few pics from the party! Enjoy!

VACATION

Okay - so I promised some pictures of our vacation so I feel the need to deliver.

We went to Florida this year with the Lees and the Wrights. We had a great time and it was very relaxing. We enjoyed tons of great Seafood (so much that on the Sunday after we got home we ate at Juan Pablo's like twice that day). We enjoyed the friends, visiting and relaxing. Hope you enjoy the pics.

We're Back......

Well, we made it back from Florida safely. Sorry that I cannot post pictures at this time. Bryan will be at school Monday and Tuesday so I won't have access to our computer until then. We had a great time. The girls especially did. I will hopefully be able to post pictures before the end of the week. Until then....................

Empty Promises & Mini Update

I seem to be promising to make posts on this thing and somehow am never able to do so .........

So - NO MORE PROMISES - you'll get what you get when you get it!!! That's all I can say!!!

MINI UPDATE:

We have been very busy since school ended. It is so hard to believe that in August/September, Abbi will be in the 3rd grade and Ella will be in Kindergarten. I am really getting old.

So far they have had a wonderful summer. We spent the first part finishing up softball. Abbi had a good season. She didn't learn and advance as much as she wanted but I think she had fun playing. She would have gotten picked for All Stars this year , but we had to decline. The state tournament fell on the weekend that we are leaving for our vacation. She was a little disappointment but not for long. I think Dad was wishing she could play a little more that she was.

The girls just got back this week from their Papa and Nana's house in Missouri. They had a great time! Bryan's parents are great!! They always make their week there so enjoyable. I don't think they ever stopped going. They spent most of the week in Branson, MO. They stayed in a condo, went to Silver Dollar City, watched Peter Pan-Live, watched a movie and did some shopping. The girls had a great time. They always enjoy the weeks they get to spend with their Papa and Nana.

We leave for Florida this Friday. The girls are so very excited. This will be their first beach vacation. It will be my first REAL beach vacation too! We will leave on Friday after work and get there sometime on Satruday. Bryan will fly in on Wednesday of the next week and spend the rest of the vacation with us. He wasn't going to get to come at all at first, so we are so happy that he gets to come for a few days.

Well, this is about all I can say about the going ons at the Baier house so far this summer. I will hopefully get to post pictures when we get back from vacation. Remember though, I am making NO PROMISES.

Family Pictures

Okay, so I know - it has been so so so long since I have posted anything! You'll have to give me a break, though - it is just a little hard to juggle work, house chores, the many activities that Abbi and Ella are involved in and a husband gone 2 nights a week to school (which he will finally graduate from in December - YES!!!!).

So, decided to start from the beginning so this may take several posts!

Back in November we had familiy pictures taken - they were wonderful. I never posted them because they were Christmas gifts to our family. We went to a photographer in Cooper Texas. He did a wonderful job and we were so excited about the results we received. So with this post I just wanted to share some of the pictures that we had taken. It is so hard to believe how much my girls are growing up and way to fast! Just reminds me how much we need to cherish every minute with them that we have.

Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures!
