"Oh what a night..."

Or weekends. It's been another fun couple of weeks in Smithtown. Trevor went to Vegas for his annual fantasy football draft party with his brothers and friends and so Bailey and myself headed to Idaho for a fun filled weekend with some of my family. Let the sibling and cousin time begin. My sister McKenna came up from Logan with her kids too and we decided we had to go to Bear World. My brother Brinn and his family met us there too. I even was adventurous and rode the new roller coaster - It was surprisingly awesome  and much faster and more fun then it appeared to be.

 Another tooth gone. This one came out on the drive home from Idaho. 

First Target purchase - won't be the last :)

The following weekend I went to this amazing drag queen show with my friend Nicole for her birthday. It was so much fun and the queens were so beautiful and talented. I definitely hope to go again. It was really fun having a girls night. But I was super tired the next day. Apparently I am too old to stay out past midnight anymore. Ha.

"You went to school to learn girl..."

"...Things you never never knew before...A B C - it's easy as 1 2 3..."

It happened adventurers. Bailey started Kindergarten.

We had hoped she was going to be in all day kindergarten, but apparently she is too smart and advanced for it and will only be going half day. This would have been awesome for multiple reasons. One she would have loved it. Second, both Trevor and I work and it would have been awesome with our schedules. Third, Bailey's daycare lady who we loved recently moved and we wouldn't have had to find child care. But luckily Trevor is now working from home and can pick her up the days I am at work. It's working out great so far and Bailey loves her teacher and her class. She did inform us that she won't learn anything this year. "I already know everything and you don't start learning until first grade..". Funny and probably true smart girl. 

This little goofball! 

Before school started they had a back to school carnival and Bailey had a blast. There were bouncy slides and castles and carnival games and they even gave her a cute pink backpack. I have been asked to be a community council member for her school and help with the PTA. Should be fun and I am looking forward to being involved in her school.

We also got to see the solar eclipse and Bailey thought it was beyond cool. She was super bummed when it was over and I tried to explain to her it would be a long time before she would see anything like that again. In retrospect, if I had realized how cool it was going to be we should have gone to Idaho to see it. But what we did see was pretty remarkable.

We managed to fit in another trip to the dentist where we learned that Bailey had 4 loose teeth and not just the one that I knew about, but happily she had no cavities - so that was great. This girl loves candy and gum and always manages to find it or convince people to give it to her. Also, to celebrate the start of her academic career we went to Build-A-Bear and Bailey picked out a Poppy troll to commemorate the occasion. She was in heaven.

Another big first happened as well. Something that not even I have done. Bailey went to her first Utah football game with Trevor. She was ridiculously excited and had so much fun. She also looked particularly cute. Trevor is teaching her young.

Here's hoping our September is maybe a bit more mellow than the past couple weeks have been.
