3 Parties in 1 Day!

Since we are out of town for a total of 4 weeks this summer, we have been booking up our social calendar for the remaining weekends. The weekend before we left for New York, we ended up with 3 parties in one day!

Our first party was a birthday party for our friends, Jesse and London, from the gym. It was at an indoor trampoline park and the kids had a blast! All of the pictures are a bit blurry because I have a super old phone and the kids were moving around so much. I feel like this isn't the first time I have said this in a post...Honey...hint hint.....



After playing, they had pizza and cake!



Mommy took a picture with her gym friends! We are very rarely with each other with regular clothes and makeup on!



After the birthday party, we headed South to our friends, The Haas' House. They recently bought a new house and were having people over so we stopped by to see the new house and say hi. We tried to get a picture of all of the kiddos together. It was impossible to get them all looking at the camera but the pictures turned out cute anyway! In age order, there is Kiley, Josh, Presley, Jax (in last 2 pics), Ben & Zack (Twins), and Bentley.



After a couple of hours at the Haas', we headed further South to our friends, The DeLuca's House. I am embarrased to say how long they have lived in their house, but Mikey still had never seen it. So we had the date on the calendar for quite a while to go down for dinner and the time had finally come. We had the whole gang back together again! Love my girls!



Gretchen and Ben made delicious fajitas for dinner! Lisa with her minime, Violet, and T with the newest addition to our clan, sweet Kinsley.



At one point, Mikey and Jake were stuck in the playroom with all of the kiddos. But if you look closely, Mikey is sleeping. Poor Jake. Mikey was tired out from all of our festivities!


It was a very busy and exhausting day, but well worth it. We are so blessed to have so many amazing friends that keep us busy!

A couple of nights before we left for New York, Mikey and I were sitting outside and saw this beautiful rainbow!

Summer Fun Begins!

Leading up to summer break, I was so stressed about having all 3 kids all day, every day that I started filling up our calendar with things to do to keep us busy. We go to the gym every day. We have 1-2 playdates each week. The girls both went to Vacation Bible School the week after Kiley got out of school and Presley attended a Performing Arts Camp! We don't have pictures of either of those, but we have other pictures of how we spent the first half of our summer break.

We spent Memorial Day at the Country Club.



I made red, white and blue pancakes for breakfast!



Our neighborhood had a big summer kick off party with an 80's cover band!



Daddie and Bentley enjoying the music.



Presley checking up on them with her 20 glow sticks that she collected.



This is how Bentley has to eat every meal. He can't stand to be strapped down in his seat.



We had a swimming play date with some friends from the gym. Presley and her friend, Jesse had so much fun together!



Presley got a hold of my phone and took some selfies.



We got a package in the mail one day and the kids entertained themselves with the box for quite a while.



Our neighbor/nanny, Cassidy, graduated high school. We went to her graduation party to celebrate. One of Cassidy's Aunts curled Presley's hair and she thought she was hot stuff.



She thought she fit right in with the big girls!



We have obviously been on the go a lot. Bentley looked so sweet sleeping in his car seat one day.



We finally got our new roof put on after our big hail storm.



So I took the kids to Marmee and Guy's for the weekend!



That Sunday was Father's Day, so we drove back up on Saturday night. The guys played golf on Sunday morning. We swam for a while and then went to Grammy and Grampy's house for dinner. Daddie and Bentley were wiped out from such a busy day!



Cassidy has been coming over on Tuesdays to help with the kids so that I can go run errands. She sent me this picture one day. So cute!



Bentley went missing one day when we were playing upstairs. I went into Kiley's bathroom to find him in the sink. It looked like he was lounging in the bath tub with the water running. I had to run and grab my phone. When I got back, he had turned over but still looked very guilty.



It is hard to see in the picture but the water is running and he is soaked.



As you can see, we have been very busy and I have my hands full! Never a dull moment with the Baird's! There is still more to come. 3 parties in 1 day and a 3 week trip!! Stay tuned!

Courtney & Kevin's Wedding!

So you have seen the pictures of the Couples's Shower and the Bachelorette Party, now comes the wedding! I don't have a ton of pictures, but will share what I have.

We took a couple of pictures outside of the chapel before the wedding. Mikey photo bombed our first one.



Tamra, Me and Shawna.



Silly guys!



Tamra, Me, Kelli and Shawna inside the reception. Courtney had every detail just perfect and everything was gorgeous!



Courtney made the most beautiful bride. This is a picture of her right before she threw the bouquet. You can see 3 of the bridesmaids in the front on the right. Their dresses were each different shades of gray/purple and they were so pretty.



We had a great time and are so happy for Courtney and Kevin!

School's out for Summer!

I am well aware that I am way behind on blog posting. I will try my best to catch up this week! School ended and we have been going non stop this summer! I can't believe we are already half way through the summer! Presley's school ended in May. On the second to last day of school, we had an end of year party in her classrom!



I took a picture of her on her last day of school and put it with her picture of her first day to compare.



Kiley's school ended the first week of June. On the second to last day of her school, all of the pre-kinder kids were in a parade and they all held signs of where they are going to kindergarten next year.



Kiley with her teachers and her speech therapist!



Being at Kiley's school that day and leaving for the last time was very emotional for Mommy. Kiley has been there for 2 and a half years and it has been so amazing. She has learned and grown so much and it is just this little bubble of amazing teachers and staff. Kiley will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall at a new school and Mommy is very nervous!!

I tried to get a picture of Kiley on the stairs to compare to her first day, but she was not having it. She got a hold of a sucker some how and was happy as can be. This is the best I could get of her when we were waiting for the bus.



Now on a happier note, my Cousin Molly graduated from UT! We are so incredibly proud of her! Even though we are Aggies, UT is an amazing school and Molly is going to have an amazing future! We just had to go down and celebrate with her!



Everyone got a kick out of this picture....the horns....Mikey's head.....
