Awesome Photos by Lisa

Here are the promised pics - WOW!

Update for April

Ok, so all blog entries aren't wonderful and exciting complete with jokes and pictures, right?

So a couple of weeks ago during our spring break, Bailey went to Portland on the shuttle to visit our good friends the Dillons. She had a great time with her BFF Jordyn. Lisa, Jordyn's mom (my BFF), is a professional photographer and did a photo shoot with the girls and J's boyfriend Troy. The girls got their hair and make-up done at a salon that Lisa is cross-marketing with and they felt like professional models for a day. They, including Lisa, had a blast. I will post the awesome pictures soon.

Friday of that week Mark and I took our dear friends Pat and Penny clouser to a Blazer game where they beat the Grizzlies, WHOO HOO!! Playoffs here we come! It was so awesome being able to share that fun experience with two of our great friends. I hope we can go to another game in the future.

Today Bailey is going to Portland again with the youth of our ward for a Temple trip. We'll see her back tonight around 8 pm. So, Mark and I will do what we love, but Bailey hates, which is hiking. We're going to hit Smith Rock state park AND the weather is actually supposed to be over 60 degrees today. We have been waiting a long time for the warmer weather here in central oregon. Just last week we had another round of snow (that didn't stick). That's our spring!

Songbird sings from the Heart

This last week we were able to hear our lovely songbird sing at her school choir concert. Bailey had a solo for the song "Jonah in the Belly of the Whale". She started the song out -without a microphone. It's been great to hear her voice mature. Bailey and I (Stacy) will also be performing in a musical titled, "The Parable of the Ten Virgins" to be performed on the 31st at our church. It's been a while for me, and my voice is much lower now so we'll see how it goes. I know Bailey will totally rock it.

This Bailey and her choir friends Maddie, Katie and Jazzy.

DRIVERS BEWARE

Who would believe this innocent little child would be one day behind the wheel of a car? (this is her 12 year old birthday picture).
Yes, it is true, Bailey got her driver's permit this week. She's driven in the empty church parking lot, but now she officially on the road. Watch out Bend drivers!
Actually, she doing really well. We even went on the Parkway on Saturday (got up to 50 mph!). She wants to drive every chance she can get-even to school which is not even a 1/2 mile away. I guess we'd better get used to it :)

A Beautiful Flower

Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset........

As a mother you have the right to brag-Bailey attended the Winter Formal at her school with a group of friends. She looked unbelievable in her red dress and had a wonderful time.

She continues to amaze and delight me. Love you Sweetie :)

More snow WooHoo!

Yes, it is snowing once again in beautiful bend. Not to worry, here in the high desert the world doesn't come to a screeching halt when the white stuff comes down. We get it enough that our dept of roads takes care of it in a jiffy. -And people don't freak, unlike some other places.......

Maybe I'll be able to ski again this season after all.
