Naughty Girl

Paige decided to write all over herself. She is usually really good about only writing on paper. I am glad she only had a pen and not a magic marker.

Christmas 2010

Pierce, Emili, and Charlie came from Colorado to stay with us for Christmas. I think they brought the cold weather with them.
Christmas morning we had a big breakfast and Robbie, Aaron, and Cole came over and opened presents. This kids played all day, while I cooked, cleaned and ate.
Having a kid makes Christmas morning so much more fun.


Paige

What is in there?
Whenever Paige wanted something out of her stocking she would say, "I need my red sock."

Hair Cut

Emili cut Paige's hair. She looks so adorable. She does not look like a homeless child anymore.
This was her fist real hair cut. I trimmed her hair when she was about a year and a half. She had a mullet so I cut the back of her hair so the front of her hair could catch up. Emili did a much better job. Thanks Em.

My Family

My parents came for a week and a half and my sisters family came to visit for a few days.

I wish they lived closer so we could see each other whenever we wanted.

The first day my sisters family was here we went to Cowboy Christmas and then went to Chucke Cheese and ate dinner with my Grandma, Dave and my Aunts family. Chucke Cheese was chaos, but the kids had lots of fun.

The next day we had a big dinner/lunch. Nathen pitted meat, which was delicious. He starts the fire the night before and then puts the meat in the pit early in the morning. My mom and sister helped make side dishes. I enjoyed making food and visiting. My sister and I attempted to make a ginger bread house for the kids to decorate. We were laughing so hard because our house kept collapsing. We thought we finally had a house that would stay together, but when the kids decorated the house the roof feel in. I guess we are not builders. Oh well, I had lots of fun trying.

Later that day the kids opened their Christmas presents since we will not see them on Christmas.

Family Pictures

Monica took some family pictures for our Christmas Card.

Parents

My parents are amazing. I am so lucky to be their daughter.

Thanksgiving

We went to Burke and Kara's for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time. We ate lots of yummy food and played fun games. Thanks Kara you did an amazing job.
I was surprised how cold the weather was in Cedar. When we got there Wednesday night it was 0 degrees. I stayed in the house the entire time.

Presley, Burke, and Paige

Paige does not do well when we sleep somewhere away from home. She did not sleep at all. Thus we did not sleep either. We need to take her more places. We have turned into home bodies since we had her. We use to go somewhere almost every weekend.

Four Wheelers

We bought back our old 400EX four wheeler and another 400ex. Nathen is over at Josh's motocross track all of the time and I wanted something to ride over and visit him on and I missed riding. I also want Paige exposed to four wheelers. She loves riding on the four wheelers.
Paige was so cute when we bought her a helmet. We had her try on a few helmets and she liked this one. She said, "it looks so cute we have to buy it." She cracks me up.

St George Photo Session

Monica had a family photo session is St George so Paige and I went along to help and got some of our own pictures. St George is so pretty. I love the fall leaves.
I cannot believe how grown up Paige looks in these photos. She is such an amazing little girl. I adore her.

Halloween Picture

My sweet little lady bug.

Trunk or Treat

We took Paige to trunk or treat at the fair grounds. She looked so cute in her lady bug costume. I am not really a fan of trunk or treat, but Paige liked getting candy and I figured trunk or treat was easier than going door to door. We let her eat as much candy as she wanted and we paid for that later. She had the biggest meltdown I have ever seen.

Halloween Party

We went to Monica and Jake's house for an adult Halloween Party. I had a little too much fun.
I dressed up as Alice and Nathen was the Mad Hatter.

Me and Nathen

Robbie, yes that is her hair.

Me and Rachael Cheesy girls or just really happy!

Robbie, Paice, and Nathen

Thanks Monica and Jake.
