We had Bailey's Birthday party yesterday, so that everyone could come. Daddy did such a great job decorating!
This turned out fuzzy, but I attempted to make a Barbie cake. I say attempted, because Barbie was too tall, so we had to bend her legs, but I tried. Tyler found the Barbie and gave it to her a few weeks ago, but I just re-hid it until yesterday, and she mostly forgot about it. It's Barbie Mariposa, which she has seen on commericals, and just had to have. This is our first Barbie. Her uncle Spencer gave her some more, now we can really play!
Here's Bailey blowing out her cake. It was merely a formality to get to the presents. That's her cousin Abbie in the picture, she loves Barbie's too, and since she's older, she could show Bailey the ropes. My sister Michelle said to watch for Ken to always be naked--can't wait for that!
How cute is her hair?! Tyler and Abbie wanted to open presents so bad, luckily Mike's mom & dad gave us a few things for our anniversary, so they got to open those. They didn't seem to mind that the gifts weren't for them, they just wanted to open something too. Kids are so funny.
We decided to get Bailey a bike. She still doesn't pedal, just pushes with her tip-toes. We're hoping this bike will be a little easier than the tricycle. No chance of working on that today though--since it's a BLIZZARD outside! It snowed on our wedding day 7 years ago too, and the day we were taking Bailey home from the hospital (which ended up being not home, but to Primary Children's for 5 days.) Who decided to live in Utah anyway? Snow in April! Speaking of Primary Children's, last night Bailey woke up in the middle of the night ( a frequent thing unfourtunatly) I went in and was telling her a story about the day Princess Bailey was born, and I found myself crying. Maybe it was in part the sleep deprivation, but it just made me think about the time when we were in the hospital with her, and thought we may not have her for too long. She was born with her Pulmonary Valve in her heart too narrow to let blood flow into her lungs to get oxygen. We had almost just gone home, because the weren't able to fit us in at P.C., but there was an opening, and it turned out to save her life. The doctor said if we'd gone home, she'd have probably died within a day or so! It was a whirlwind after that, but after surgery, she was as good as new, mostly. I am so grateful for modern medicine! How blessed we are to live in this time. Even on our roughest days, I don't know what I'd do without my Princess.

Oh great. Now you made ME cry at work. Why do I do this to myself!?! Surely our children are our greatest treasure. When I think about how fragile life is I am ever more grateful for Christ and the sealing power. Our children are always ours, forever.
PS - it's 70 degrees here right now. (8:51 AM on Tuesday the 8th). Come on down and thaw out!
