I cannot figure out where the time is going! Aubree is already 10 weeks old and my other baby is getting ready to turn 10 years old! Speaking of old...it's making me feel that way! We have had a hectic last few weeks it seems. This past weekend Aubree had her first trip to Fun Expedtion which is a HUGE place in Johnson City for kids to play. You buy a pass by the hour. There are TONS of games, putt putt, indoor batting cages, bowling, play ground, indoor go karts and outdoor go karts, rock climbing, and laser tag. You could literally spend days at this place and not do it all. Daddy likes it pretty well too! It was so nice having a long weekend too. We had company literally every day and got lots of use out of the pool which is great since it's almost time to close it. Saturday we had our good friends Kip and Leah come down, they brought their 2 year old. Hes adorable but definetely 2! Sunday my brother in law and his wife and kids came, they are 5 and 8. Faith is the 8 year old and her and Bailey are such good buddies. They all had a great time and ended up sleeping over which really thrilled the kids. Gave them some play time on monday too. That side of our family (my husbands) lives about an hour away so we don't get to spend as much time with them which stinks. We'd like to do better and are really going to try!!
Bailey is really liking 5th grade and especially her teacher, he's her favorite by far! I'm so glad, it's such a relief to send her off knowing she likes it. It's an awful feeling knowing your child is miserable all day. I have actually worked the past two days cause we had a girl with a dog crisis, I've brought Miss Aubree with me and her little bouncy chair with the toy bar on it. She has been the BEST baby in the world! Not a peep out of her! She wakes up stretching, kicks on her toys a bit, then back to napping. I have an office with a door so even feeding her is a breeze!! I'm hoping to leave early today, I'm hoping the reason I need to it to get a new car. My BMW is just WAY to small. Not only is the car small, you have to put the front seat WAY up for the car seat base just to fit, then Bailey hardly has any room back there, then the trunk is SO small, only her stroller will fit. It's an awesome car, and really fun to drive, but just not practical. Soooo, I really want a Toyota Camry. I test drove one the other day and fell in love. The back seat is HUGE! Plenty of room for her car seat and 2 more kids, and the trunk would hold 3 of her strollers!! My poor husband though. He's always the money man and the make a deal man, and he does NOT enjoy it. He's been a really good sport this time though. I'm such a lucky girl to have him! This will be the 2nd car for me in like 3 months or so so he's being a really patient man! I guess it helps that I can say he was right about the BMW, didn't really think I would be happy with it. But we both really love the Camry, and he really loves the Camrys reputation. Our next vehicle purchase is going to have to be a mini van. The only way I'll have one is if it's our "extra" vehicle and something we mainly use to travel in. We took his parents to the beach and it was awesome, the space and being able to move around! We each had our own row! Speaking of vacation, we're going on a mini one next week. Taking Bailey and her friend to Gatlinburg, getttng a cabin, and taking the girls to the big water park there, Dollys Splash Country. I'm excited too, I love water slides! I guess Scott may have to stay at the cabin with Aubree, may do 2 days to give us each a day to play. I may try taking her and see how that goes. THey have big cabanas you can rent for the day, and the water is heated and she LOVES water, she could at least stick her pigs in. Bailey has a birthday coming up so this will be part of her gift. She's still working on her party. Just wants something at home and a sleep over--EEK, dont know how we'll do with all those extra germs in the house with a baby, we are SO paranoid!!
SHe ended up having no reactions to her shots thank God. I was worried for a few days but it's been over a week now so she should be good.
I'm a lucky lucky woman and life is SO wonderful, it's great to be me!!!
