Family Photos

This is the best photo from all our family pictures. Bailey continued to make funny faces.

Jordan at 3 1/2 months old.

Sisterly love

Our Saturday afternoon

Bailey and Daddy holding hands and pulling our wagon to the park. She insists on taking it every time we go.

Jordan's first experience in a big swing at the park. She loved it!

Bailey really wanted Jamen to show her how to ride her bike. She did pretty well with the pedals, but steering was another story.

Halloween..a little late

We went to the church carnival for Halloween, which Bailey loved. To our surprise she sat very still while getting her face painted. I wish I had some better pictures of her, but she isn't a fan of standing still for pictures.

We want this...

We went on a drive one day while visiting Papa and Grandma in Santa Margarita and discovered our dream tree house for our kids. Jamen said that it looks like it belongs at Disneyland. Isn't this amazing!

Welcoming Baby Jordan..

Although Jordan is 8 months old, I thought some of you may appreciate seeing some of these photos.

Something about the water...

Bailey and cousin, Felicity enjoyed getting squirted by Papa on a hot summer day.

Born to be a helper...

Bailey has always insisted on being independent. She took on watering the back yard very early on....

In her element...

A look in the past...

Bailey is growing so fast. It makes me sad to know that she will be 3 years old in only a couple of months. It has been nice looking at our picture collection and reliving some old memories...

Oh the expressions...

They grow up so fast...

Jordan is almost 8 months old. I cannot believe how fast she is changing. She has been attempting to crawl for about 3 months now and she can almost sit up by herself.

Our little water baby!

These are a few of my favorite pictures. As many of you know, Bailey is fearless when it comes to water, almost to the extreme.
