Annika - 2 Weeks Old

Annika Ireese Baxley

Hello All!
Annika Ireese Baxley finally arrived Tuesday June 22nd, 2010 at 6:00pm. She weighed 8lbs 2ozs and was almost 20 inches long! She had her first checkup this Tuesday and I'm thrilled to report she has already gained 3ozs and grown almost an inch.

You may be thinking "Ireese", what kind of middle name is that? Well.....Dave and I like to pass along family names and since he got to pass along a family name with Kyan Preston, it was my turn. I could never choose between my two favorite ladies my Oma -Therese and my Mom-Irene. So I thought why not combine them into Ireese and it fit!

Here I grow......

Hello all. Watch me grow!

20 weeks

I've created my own avatar.....nough said. I know its uber geeky but I've never claimed to be that cool! It's fun. Here "I" am dancing with Jodi's avatar. We're dressed as Japanese school girls lol! I also took the liberty of giving myself vampire even though I am not in fact a vampire lol!

Working hard or hardly Working?!?

Working at USU has provided so many great opportunities for me. I've made great new friends and continue to develop professionally. Why just look at me professionally developing my hand-to-hand combat skills. This will be very useful if a hostile person ever visits the office. With my talent, I will be able to quickly remove them from the building! I've also been working on my Ninja fighting ability.....that's right I am a ninja. I know its hard to believe but I took the quiz on Facebook and it told me I'm a samurai. Now I realize samurai and ninja aren't the same thing but they're close enough skill wise. Now I just need to invest in a good horse and a shiny new katana (sword)!
