Thanksgiving Memories

Tara with Grandma Gwen Endrizzi

Great Grandma Gwen visited the Allen's for Thanksgiving from Wenatchee, WA. She and Baylee finally got to meet during the UW vs. WSU game. We wish we got to see her more often!

Colleen & Josh Seitz came over for a visit from Oregon! The kiddos really enjoyed playing with them:) We miss them!




Grandpa Soltero sang & bounced Baylee to sleep:)



Great Grandma & Grandpa Soltero came to visit from Sequim, WA and were able to say hello to Baylee for the first time!

Halloween 2007

South 47 Farm

In October we went to the South 47 Farm with Grandma Cook and the Hansen's. The kids enjoyed climbing haystacks, eating kettle korn, picking out pumpkins to take home, looking at/petting animals and going through the maze!

Looking back...Baylee's Born!

Baylee Addison Cook arrived on October 1, 2008...three weeks early! She weighed in at 6 lbs 1 oz and was 18 1/4 in long. She won our hearts before we ever saw her brown hair and blue eyes. We had all four grandparents there to support us and help us welcome Baylee into our family. Aunt Kristin was also there and made sure Caden and Ashlyn felt special too! We are so thankful that Baylee arrived safely and look forward to watching her grow!

Christmas 2007

Baylee's First Christmas! We celebrated with Steve's family this year and all the siblings were at home...yep, that's about 23+ people in one house! The kids had a great time playing with their cousins and enjoyed the traditional Christmas Eve talent show. Their contribution was singing jingle bells while shaking little bell rings made just for them. On Christmas day we were able to visit Tara's family as well and spend some time with them. We are so thankful for our blessings and strive to remember Our Savior in all we do.

Baylee's Blessing

Baylee recieved her baby blessing from her daddy on Christmas Eve 2008! We were surrounded by family and friends and Baylee shared many smiles....she looked beautiful in her white dress (identical to her big sister's blessing dress)
