Baby Gate Down

Good thing we spent all that time and money investing in a baby gate.

We take our eyes off of her for two seconds and this is what we find...
a very naughty baby.

Queden's Wedding

The main focus of our Idaho adventure was to attend Quinn and Eden's Wedding. We headed down to the Boise temple where we met up with our champion Dana who drove from Rexburg that morning to watch Baby Bailey.

The sealing was perfect and it was great watching the cute couple start their beginning to forever.
Bailey Boopers was having a lovely time roaming the temple grounds and fishing out the dirt and bugs inside the sidewalk cracks.
Too bad its kind of hard to get those chubby fingers into tight spaces.
We had such a fun day full of delicious food at both the luncheon and reception...
visiting all the family and friends we love and don't get to see that often...
and celebrating Queden's special day.
Congratulations you two. We love you so much.

Wedding Day Prep...

The day before Quinn and Eden's big wedding was nice and relaxing for us. We just played with toys...

read books and ran a few errands around town.
And of course with Sam around there was plenty of times for laughs...
and ruining what otherwise is a super cute picture.

Idaho

We took a small hiatus from our California summer vacation to visit Boise. We had plenty of fun. Grandma Pam provided some bubbles which won many bonus points from Bailey.

Pretty sure she only fell off that table like three times and yet she insisted on climbing back up each time. She is either really good at dusting herself off and trying again, or not so great at learning from her mistakes. I guess only time will tell which one it actually is. Good thing the Izatt's grass is super soft.
There were also quite a few attempts at climbing up the slide. They weren't super productive except for the fact that it burned off some of that energy and made her sleep really well that night.
There was some delicious bbq hot dog and hamburgers which we were all a huge fan of.
Especially this one...
we all know how much she loves food.

The boys also built a fire so we could have delicious smores.
And by the boys built a fire I mean Chuck built a fire and then attempted to teach Sam a few tricky ways to start a fire boy scout camp style.
The fire was successful and I would also add that the smores were even more successful. Chuck is the master of roasting marshmallows.

There was an attempt at a cousin photo shoot. It went okay after we convinced Bailey to sit down.
And got rid of the stinky smell.
Forced them all to keep their eyes open.
And to pretend, or not pretend, that they love each other.
Rumor has it Will gives the best hugs :)

After all those pictures Bailey got a little thirsty.
This is how she notifies us of her hunger or thirst. She just walks at us with her mouth as wide open as it can possibly get. Attractive, right?
Not quite as attractive as her Daddy's dance moves. All I have to say is I am pretty sure I was already fast asleep in my bed at this point in the evening.

Crazy Face...

Bailey's crazy shark face at Sea World makes us laugh so much we are constantly trying to get her to make it over and over again. She usually complies because she loves being the center of attention and making everyone laugh, as long as we all clap and cheer for her after she is usually more than happy to oblige.

We noticed that the face has slightly evolved over time. It started out with her hands on her head; now she usually makes fists and shakes them like she is so angry.

She usually knows everyone is going to start cracking up laughing and occasionally she will be that person who can't make it through their joke because they are laughing too hard...know what I mean?
Luckily she can pull it off because she is that cute. Or at least we think so.
Silly baby. Keep it up. Laughing burns calories and is good for the soul.
