Birthday Pictures 2009

Well, my yearly trip to Picture People went relatively smooth. That is if you consider three photographers, both parents, big sister, and one grandmother all there to corral the 2 year old. Oh yah, did I mention bubbles were also involved???? That Riley Paige gives me more gray hair in one day than Bailey Grace has in 7 years, but no one will ever be able to say she isn't fun! And, she's not too bad to look at either:) I guess we'll keep her! Happy birthday to my two big girls! What sweet sisters they are...

Heart O' The Hills 2009

Well, it's official! Bailey absolutely LOVED being an actual camper this year. This meant living at the girls' camp instead of the 300 boys she usually resides with. This experience was certainly an amazing adventure for Bailey, but a little bit harder on Mommy than anyone expected. I thought I was going to die- which also amazed me that I would take it so hard. Here are just a few pics that we were able to download from the Heart O' The Hills website during the July term. Before we could even leave to come home, Bailey insisted we sign her up for next summer, so I guess Momma better toughen up:) Thanks Daddy Gary and Teenie for helping make this the best summer ever!

Ahh, precious moments...

At some point, hopefully soon, I will blog more about the summertime and camp, but for now, this picture says it all...

Summer time at the Baldersons

So most peeople know that summertime for our family is not like the typical household. There is no lounging around for 2 teachers, playing with our kids all day long. Nope, No sirree! Daddy Jeff leaves the very first official day of summer to head down to Camp Stewart for Boys where he will work for the entire summer with hundred of little and big boys, while Mommy just tries to hold things together here at home. As July arrives, us girls will head down to Hunt, TX to join Daddy. Only this summer, Bailey will be a REAL camper at the girls' camp, Heart of the Hills for 3 1/2 weeks. Mommy is already dreading being away from her BaiBai:( Riley will be the center of Mommy's attention for July, which really means Mommy is going to be very tired! Already wishing there were baysitters in the hill country:) I know this is a sad little post -that is because Daddy takes the family computer for the summer where all of our pictures are stored, but thought I would type a little blurb anyway to tell everyone what summer time looks like for the Balderson household. No one ever accused us of being normal, that's for sure!

DADDY TIME

These are the types of things that happen when Daddy is in charge... 

Daddy is an awesome tent builder!

More Friends!

Not only do I have a wonderful group of childhood girlfriends, the RahRahs, our family has been additionally blessed with a wonderful group of adult friends that we have made over the years. We have seen each other through all the trials of family life with work and children. They have been a significant source of strength, encouragement and support over the past few years and I know my life would never be near as wonderful without each and everyone of them. Thanks friends!
