Where in the World are the Bairds???...


... not blogging!!!

Thought I would sit down for a minute and give everyone a quick run down of what we have been up to with pictures hopefully following soon.


-Carl, Tanner and I took a wonderful trip to Washington DC this spring.

-The girls and I made a trip to Boise in May and were able to make memories and spend time with Nana Mary.

-Tanner's best friend Nolan was baptized in June. Our testimonies were strengthened as we were able to experience and witness Nolan's conversion! He is an amazing young man and we feel blessed to have him in our life!

- Our summer was filled with softball, swimming lessons, reading, learning how to ride two wheelers, visits from family and friends, etc.

-The etc. was mostly remodeling Carl's new clinic.

-Call us crazy but September 1st Carl went into private practice. So far so good!

- Tanner is now a Freshmen and the class president. He also looks down on me and his dad!

-Allie is a 6th grader and continues to perform, sing, play the piano, clarinet, and wear my clothes and shoes!

-Morgan is in the 2nd grade. She is our shy one and has loved having the same teacher this year as last year. She loves school and is playing volleyball right now.

-Savannah is in pre-school. We decided to wait until she is 6 to send her to kindergarten. She is my little buddy!
It seems life is going by so fast and we are in need of some down time but looking at the calendar I don't see it happening anytime soon...

Tanner's 14th Birthday!

Our little (well not so little) teenager with his loot. Aunt Jenni knitted him his beanie. He was disappointed when the weather got too warm to wear it. Tanner had a great birthday and at this point was anxiously awaiting his trip to Washington DC with his parents. More to come on our trip. Time sure has flown by. It seems like only yesterday that Tanner was just a little guy and now I have to look up to him to talk to him and stand on my tip toes to give him a big hug. We are so proud of the young man he is becoming. Tanner has a love of good things and for doing the right thing. He is a great example to all of us!

Easter 2009







After this Easter we have decided to take on Garry & Jenny's tradition of celebrating the Easter bunny, eggs, etc. on Saturday and focusing on the Savior on Easter Sunday. It was a crazy weekend as you can see from my little rag-a-muffins. I don't think that we even got to the eggs until 10:00. Next year we promise to do better.

Allie's 11th Birthday!

Allie's birthday this year was a little low key. She had a birthday trip to Chicago in March so we had a few friends over, chocolate mint ice cream pie & she got the tree she wanted for her room. We were a little worried that she would think it was crazy of us but she loved it and has decorated it for the different seasons. She begged at Christmas for a tree and when we were shopping the after Christmas sales we decided to go for it.

Allison Carlee is a wonderful part of our family. She is extremely mature for her age and is the best big sister two little sisters could ask for. Our home is filled with music because of her beautiful talents. It was a sunny spring morning of General Conference when she entered our lives. She has an old spirit and we feel blessed to be her parents!

I Love You Because...


After teaching pilates I came out of class on our 15th Anniversary to find a single red rose with this note...

Happy Anniversary! I hope you have as much fun with this little adventure as I have had. You need to follow the clues throughtout the day and collect a small token of my love from each stop. Enjoy, have fun and know how much I love you!!!


Clue #1: I love you because you make us all feel "Safe" in the "way" that only the best wife and mother could. (Especially when you have to get a little feisty!)
(Safeway for the next clue)


Clue #2: I love you because you keep things hot and spicy, just like this "challenging" place.
(Carmen's Burrittos where Carl & Tanner did the spicy burritto challenge)


Clue #3: I love you because you make me feel like a VIP and you don't even have to bribe me with good ice!
(Sonic- I love my Diet Cokes)


Clue #4: I love you because you are always encouraging me to develop my talents. Maybe someday they'll hang one of my pictures here along side Bill's.
(Western Nebraska Art Gallery)


Clue #5: I love you because you know me so well that you wouldn't dream of putting ketchup on my Philly cheese steak.
(The Woodshed - um, they don't know Carl and put ketchup on his Philly)

(Vlcek's - Good friends)

Clue #8: I love you because you never complain about me having to spend so much time and energy here.

Clue #9: I love you because you encouraged me to follow my dream and go to work in a career that I love. I recognize the sacrifice that was for you, thank you!
(The hospital)


Clue #10: I love you because of your inner beauty, but sure so like the way they help you look on the outside!
(The Spa - where I get my hair and pedicures done)


Clue #11: I love you because you are sweeter than the treats at this Saturday morning stop.
(Gering Bakery)


Clue #12: I love you because you are my ROCK! My love for you is "MONUMENTal"!

Throughout my little adventure I collected 15 roses and came home to find out that I was going away for the weekend...

Happy 15th Anniversary!

I know it has been over a month since I was last seen but we have been really busy. Crazy busy! It's a long story and hopefully I will be able to catch everyone up but I couldn't let this day pass without putting it out there that today Carl and I are celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary. It has been a wonderful day and it seems that more surprises await me tomorrow.
I will post more details later but suffice it to say that I am one lucky girl and I KNOW it!
