about the ocean

at the ocean there is lots of fish

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Me, Xander, Max, and dad were out practicing soccer. When me and Xander were playing 1 vs. 1 I got the ball right on the goal line were I score. It was on the goal line so if it was tapped lightly it would go in. At that time Xander was way behind me. Then I said "Xander come and get it". When Xander was very close I tapped the ball. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"Xander screamed.

She has eyes!

She has eyes!

I think she looks like another beautiful Jensen girl . . . Felicity after her precious chubby Chinese phase. I just posted this to prove she has eyes. For some reason she did not like the flash of the camera. No flashing at babies! (A shout out to any Office fans.)

All's I want for Christmas is a girl.

Is that too much to ask for? Does anyone know how to get a hold of a stork?

On a different note . . . There is something deeply spiritual about bringing a new life into the world.

I have two pix where Carey looks stunning. I guess I will have to post them both.

Proof that I saw and held her first.

I think it is pretty fun that Carey has three babies born on the 13th. 13 is one of their lucky numbers.

Lucy shares a birthday with her Great Aunt Cindy. I am getting my info from cousin Erin's blog.

I so wanted to steal her and take her home with me. Carey already has a girl and 5 other children so why can't I have just this one. I am officially in love for the hundredth time. I am so grateful to all of my lovely sisters for multiplying and replenishing the earth with such beautiful babes. Lucy was 7 lbs 7 oz at birth and was mighty squeaky for a newborn. She has a lot to say apparently. She is so tiny with dainty little features and I just lover her so much. Thanks to the Baileys for bringing another precious child to our family! Needless to say but Todd and Carey are worn out.

A perfectly planned day . . .

Seriously. I made a crock pot dinner this morning knowing it would be ready on time and then Max and I left at 11:45 only to return 4 hours later to find the power had turned off while we were gone meaning my electric crockpot had been off for at least 2 hours ( the time from the flashing clock as to when the power had been returned). How frustrating is that?! We get to find out what a half cooked and then cooked again pot roast tastes like. Also within 1 mile of our house there are at least 4 polling places. 2 other polling places are at Maxwell's school.

Baby Lizard!

Baby Lizard!

In August Elijah caught this baby lizard. It is a few inches long and in August we had tons of them running in our back yard. We also had many birds visiting our backyard and many cats. Thus the food chain thrives in our yard.This is the same bug catcher which housed our black widow and now houses our black widow carcass.
