Big Cedar - day three

We spent our last day floating the lazy river and chasing Baker around the baby pool. We had a great vacation, but as always, it's nice to be home again. Kylee starts school this week. I hope 7th grade is ready for her!!
       

Big Cedar - day two (one the lake)

We rented a boat on Thursday. The girls had so much fun riding on the tube...and falling off the tube... Baker was great. He loved riding in the boat and watching the girls. He even got to cool off in the lake with daddy.

Big Cedar - day one

We went to Big Cedar for a little family getaway. The Anderson's were there the first two days. Kylee was happy to have Abby and Ashley to hangout with. The girls rode the shuttle around the property and went to the swimming hole to watch a movie outdoors. Baker loved all the attention from the girls - especially Anna. We had a great two bedroom suite in the lodge - which means that Kylee basically had her own apartment. (1st photo.) We had dinner at Devil's Pool Wednesday night. We were MELTING before the sun (finally) went down...

Haircut

At just over 18 months old, Baker had his very first haircut.
It was a big day and all eyes were on him at the salon. He was very brave and sat very still for Miss Lisa (mommy's hairdresser.) He didn't smile until we were in the car on the way home. My friend, Emily came with us and served as our photographer. (She was also very good moral support -- which was needed and appreciated!) It took me a couple of days but I am now happy with the haircut. It surprised me that this would be such a milestone. Our sweet baby is turning into a little boy.

School bites!

You would never know it by looking at these photos, but Baker had a terrible day (Tuesday, July 31.) He was bitten on the cheek by a kid on the playground at Mother's Day Out. The skin was broken and Baker's cheek was puffy and bright red. It looked horrible. I'm writing this blog the day after the trauma and I'm happy to report that his cheek is much better today. The bad news is that Baker now has a virus and had 104 fever today. AGGGH. It is always something! Poor little B has had a tough week... Like I said, you would never know it by the photos.

I am going to cry when we cut his precious hair.
I hope he knows how loved he is.

Breakfast

Baker loves to sit in Daddy's lap while he eats. They had breakfast together before Daddy left for New York on Tuesday, July 31. Kevin got to see the Yankees play in Yankee stadium. We were making our first trip to NY this time last year. I miss the city!!
Gorgeous daddy and handsome boy (even with a dirty face...)

For Sale

1921 Settlement Lane -- FOR SALE... It's a little sad to see our house for sale. We've been happy here...but as life moves forward we've decided that we're ready to move back to Tulsa. We're looking forward to a new chapter as a family and can't wait to live closer to Kylee again!!!
Cute photos of Kylee and Baker -- he is so enamoured of his big sister. I think she's feeding him ice cream in this photo. He LOVES ice cream.
