Team Rodgers: September 2009

Well, today is the day our little Bailee Jean is celebrating her first birthday. In some ways it's hard to believe that she is already one year's old, and in other ways this year has been a long one!! It's a good thing that Bailee is # 5 baby, and I knew she would be our last, because she has been my most difficult baby yet. We are hoping that this coming year she will develop a new personality, and learn to be more content and happy! She is such a cutie, but boy is she sassy, tempermental, stubborn, and very impaitent, and a screamer!! Needless to say, shopping, church, anywhere public is a chore with her, and can be very embarassing sometimes. Because Bailee's birthday landed by Labor Day weekend, we had a get together at my parent's house for her, we went swimming first, and then had pizza and cupcakes afterwards. Boy! did Bailee love her cupcakes, let's just say she ate at least 2 before I could pry her away from the table. She loved her presents and would scream at Sadie if she would take her toys. Sadie better watch out, as Bailee gets older, she might just know how to pick on her even more. Happy Birthday Bailee girl, We Love You!!!

Anyways, since I am truly a slacker blogger, I thought I would let you all know how Seth's Hershey's trackmeet went. He had a great time, and his relay team took 3rd place in the nation. His relay team represented region 2 which included our state, California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, and Colorado. It was a pretty amazing trackmeet, they truly treat it like the Olympics. Gold Medalist Carl Lewis put Seth's medal around his neck, it was really Awesome!!! We are really proud of Seth. It was a quick trip over there, but I'm glad Rich and I got to go. Pennsylvania is a pretty state, very green. We enjoyed touring the Hershey's choclate factory, and see how all the hershey choclate is made and packaged. We went to Hershey park, a big amusement park with crazy roller coasters that Rich made me go on. I used to love to do that, but man I'm getting old, and can't handle the crazy rides as well anymore. The town Hershey has it's street lights as Hershey kisses, it was kind of a neat place.

Well, the kids have been back to school now for a few weeks. Seth is in 5th grade this year, and is doing tackle football for the first time. His first game is Saturday, I'm a little nervous having him play tackle, but he is loving it! Matt and Megan are in 2nd grade and are both doing Soccer this fall, as well as Matt is going to play flag football, and Rich is going to be his coach, he is excited about that. Sadie is in pre-school this year and is doing a dance class, which she loves. She is all girl, and loves dancing! Bailee will continue to be our busy, sassy one year old! The Rodgers crew is a lively, busy bunch, and there isn't much time for a dull moment around here.

Teresa, Mom, Bailee, and Baby Brett
