So…how is everyone??  It’s been a while!  What a crazy busy and fun summer we had!!  I can’t believe that I haven’t posted anything since the 4th of July!  Which was a very fun trip and very fun posts…so at least we ended on a really good note!  The rest of the summer was fun also and so…now that Emmy is in school and Kaylee is on a nice nap schedule and things are calming down I can continue the epic of the Baker Family summer!

We begin on a warm summer day in June…(fade to pictures)…

My sister Christina is a really good Tennis player so whenever she comes to town we always play tennis and she beats up on the rest of us! :-)  Actually my dad and Alex are pretty good too so maybe she just beats up on me!  Anyway, the girls and I met my family over at the tennis courts one day and grandpa and Christina taught Emmy how to hit a ball!  She did pretty good!

Here’s Aunt Christina after a heated game with my dad! Kaylee was so happy to sit and watch them hit a tennis ball back and forth!

My dad and Christina!  Doesn’t my dad look good?  He has been playing tennis, going to the gym, and walking 5-10 miles a DAY!  He is doing great!!

Okay, this is one of my all time favorite pictures of Emmy!  She just looks like such a fun little kid…complete with band-aids on both scraped knees!

These pictures were taken on a different day while Christina was visiting but they were tennis pics too…so I thought I’d combine them!  And since I haven’t posted forever I figured people would be so overjoyed to have some pictures they wouldn’t even notice! 🙂

Okay, one more shot of the little cutie with her pink Royals shirt on and her band-aids!

Kaylee entertained herself by crawling around and chasing the stray tennis balls! She is on the move all the time and she is growing so fast!  What a cutie!

And finally, I had to put some pictures of Alex in!  He is a really natural tennis player and someday when we get some more time to ourselves and he can play more I bet he will be really good!  Anyway, these pictures are funny because this one is his “YES” face that he makes after a good play!

And this one is his “NO” face that he makes when he loses a point!  He gets very animated when he plays sports…Just in case some of you haven’t ever played sports with him.  I think both faces are cute though…so I thought I’d put them both in since I captured them on camera!
