Alee Rebekah Bailey

Alee was born on Nov. 17th at 6:41 pm. We had waited all day for her to come. (I think she was pretty content where she was.) As Beth says her babys have to have a jump start to come out but little Alee needed a little more. I was so worried about Beth when the doctor said the baby wasn't coming on her on and Beth was losing to much blood and he needed to do surgery for a c-section . We hadn't had time to absorb a change in plans and it was scary and overwhelming but we made it through a long day. Thank goodness for prays and faith and support from all my family. I was just so glad to here the words -"Mommy and baby are doing fine". What a joy to have another precious little bundle come into our lives.

Isn't she just beautiful!

Natalie just loves to give her lots of kisses and head rubs!

Chloe comes to visit

Jared and Kristen decided on a last minute trip to our house for the weekend. That was a nice surprise! We are glad Chloe has such great parents who bring her to play with Granddaddy and Grammy.

Her favorite toy at our house is the crinkly book that sounds like someone is squishing up saran wrap or crunching leaves. (She has that Jared look on her face)

She is learning to sit up. ( I think she was saying "Hey Grammy")

Everything heads for the mouth.

She loves to jump up and down when you are holding her.

I'm a big girl now and can sit in the high chair.

I'm ready Dad, hurry up!

Yum! I like applesauce.

I think I'm full now.

Nothing beats a good nap after lunch.

David spent all day at a seminar. He was looking all professional today.
He made it home in time to see the last half of the gamecocks. (I think Chloe was making him smile more than the game today.)

Always fun to take a trip to the outlet and see if we can find any bargains.
Oh, I think we found the perfect one today.
Check out that cute hat!

So cute - attach matching bows
Don't we all love pj'sJust too sweet to pass up!
Ready for Church

Who is the TALLEST Edwards this Fall?

Almost 16 years and 6 feet Tall!

The cool weather is so refreshing. It reminds me that the holidays are just around the corner and that always brings a smile. I love spending time with family and friends. I love having my children come and visit. We are enjoying celebrating fall birthdays and will soon get to welcome our newest grand baby into our lives. This weekend was fun with a visit from Jacob and Brittany.

Waiting for Sunday Dinner.

We let Brittany choose the menu today. She chose cube steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, macaroni and cheese and homemade yeast rolls and chocolate delight for dessert.


(Left handed potato peeling always looks like I'm about to cut my hand off.)
Somehow it works though!Enjoying a little afternoon sunshine.

Celebrating birthday with Seth

We made a short trip to Columbia to go to the temple on Friday night. We were glad that Jacob could join us. On Saturday morning he was off to NC and we were glad to celebrate birthday #7 with Seth. He was all smiles as we sang to him. He is our 1st and only Grandson. His smile just makes everyone happy!

His sisters gathered all around him to watch him blow out his candles.

He had to blow again to get that last one out!

Yum! Lets eat.

Seth was excited to show us his Halloween costume- He was "Mario" this year. Jared and Kristen and Chloe were there to help us celebrate.

Is that not the sweetest little face looking up at her Daddy.

Uncle Will dropped by too to join in the fun.

Chloe had her cute pumpkin outfit on with matching bow by her Mommy, of course!

Rob took a break from his remolding and Kaitlyn liked the comfy seat.

Little Natalie had a bad start to the day. (She threw up and was trying to recover with a little TLC with Mom.) We will all be so glad when the 17th arrives so Beth will have her lap back again and will not be swollen from head to toe. We are excited to have Grand baby # 6 join our family. Stay tune....baby photos are sure to be here soon.

Trip to Zebulon

You will see a lot of smiles....b/c we had lots to smile about. It was such a stress relief to just go visit those you love and be together. We ate way too much and stayed up late and tried to get in as much laughter as possible in 2 days!
Will decided that we needed to add a twist to the scrabble game. The new rule was that you could only make a word that would describe someone in the room. We got very creative! David was not sure of this rule but he did play along as he did double time watching USC football. (Grandma and Will and I laughed more and scored low and David continued to hold his record of coming out on top.)

We had a little snack during our game.

We visited cute little Kaleb and his new baby brother Nolan.

Isn't he adorable!
Heather and Kyle are great parents.

I loved getting to visit at their home.

We all took turns getting to cuddle little Nolan.

Emily is always so happy!

Michael continues to amaze us with his intelligence. (I didn't get a pic but he was a great demonstration for the Wii fit for me. Thanks Mickey!)

I think Lauren and Jeff were staying clear of all the noise. Jeff made wonderful burgers and we had a great Sunday dinner. Lauren has a cute haircut.

Jacob and Brittany joined us for Church today to hear Gramps and Will give their talks.
Jacob seems to be smiling a lot lately :)

Gramps and the boys looking sharp for church.

Grandma gets a group hug from her grandsons.

I hope we all will put on a happy face! We have so much to smile about.
