I didn't post on Bailey's birthday but a day later is okay right? Bailey turned 10 this year and I can't believe how fast time has gone. It really feels like not too long ago we were chasing her around in the stores and teaching her to sing "I Love to See the Temple." Bailey is such an amazing little girl. She has the kindest heart. For her birthday this year we let her have 3 of her closer friends over for a sleepover. We took them to the Olive Garden and Bailey got sang to by the wait staff. She loved it. Of course she always loves attention. We came back and the girls had facials and gave themselves pedicures. This year Bailey wanted an Imod scooter for her gift. They are a little pricier than mom and dad usually spend so she saved up part of her own money to get it. It is so cute and she's already had a blast with it. We love her so much and we're so glad to have had the last 10 years with her and look forward to many more.
We had such a blast this past weekend. Mat took Friday off (which is always a bonus) and we headed out to the Rockin' Holt Ranch. It was our first time taking the camper out this year and luckily the air was working. It was hot and tons of bugs everywhere. We loved having a cool, bug free place to let Peyton nap. The showers are nice to have also since we were all covered with dirt and bug spray. It was so fun to have all the family camp out together. Mat put a new battery in the kids 4-wheeler that hasn't run in way too long, and it ran non-stop. The kids found 5 arrowheads including a really nice one that Caleb found. Mat and I had Peyton on a 4-wheeler ride a ways away from camp and got caught in a little down pour. She didn't care a bit she was too interested in all the scenery we passed by. We took the kids fishing Saturday and I offered $50 to the first kid to swim across the pond. Wishing it would have motivated my own kids I was tickled that 8 year old Jayden took the prize. It was a pretty good swim and he did get a bit of help from his uncle Mat but the kid earned it and will have a great story to look back on. We came back that day and let the kids swim at Grandpa and Grandma Nelson's then lit fireworks off in the front yard. Sunday we slept in and missed sacrament for the 11:00 session. I guess we were pretty tired. Mat's back at work in Vegas today and we have to get back to reality but what a fun relaxing weekend. :)
