Hair

In June Paige finally had enough hair to do something besides head bands. I was so excited.

Here are a few pictures.

Lance and Paige

Paige went swimming for the first time at Kaylee's 2nd Birthday. She loved swimming. Thanks Marisa we had lots of fun.

Paige and Me

I am always behind the camera. Thus, I do not have very many pictures of me and Paige. Here is one.

Paige

Paige is all over the place. Here are a few pictures.




She was watching the clothes go around and around in the dryer while I did laundry.

She got stuck in this chair and she played for a while until I saved her.

She likes to get into the dishwasher while I am unloading it. I think she thinks she is helping. She gets into all the cabinets in the kitchen and takes everything out of them.

Trip to Reno

In April Nathen, Paige and I went to Reno to visit my sister and go to one of Josh's four wheeler races. Paige did so good in her car seat. I was woried becasue it is such a long drive.
My sister lives in Lovelock, but she was on Reno for the Junior Livestock show. My niece Mckenzie was showing a pig. She did really good. I did not get any pictures of her and her pig. I did get some of Jacob, Cassidy, Paige and Nathen while we were siting in the bleachers. Paige thought she was a big girl sitting with the kids.
I get sad when I see my nieces and nephew because I miss out on so much. I wish they lived closer and I wish that I got to see them more often.

Em's visit

Cole's Birthday was in March and Emili, Jake, and Pierce came all the way from Denver. I keep hoping she will move back here. While they were here Monica took some pictures. Here are some of the pictures of the Bundy Grand kids.

The Five Love Languages

I just read a book called The Five Love Languages. I think everyone should read this book. I do not think you should read it because it is the greatest book ever written. I think you should read it because you will gain insight into how you need to be loved.
According to the book the five love languages are words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Everyone needs to receive their primary love language to feel loved. When you are shown love through your primary love language you will feel fulfilled. The book calls this keeping the love tank full. Most people show love with the language that they want to be loved.
Since we had the baby, I have not felt as loved as I have in the many years of our marriage. Every one tells me that is what happens when you have a child. But after reading this book I realized that my primary love language is quality time and since the baby we have not had that much quality time. I now understand why I have been feeling the way I have when Nathen has helped out more than he ever has in the past, which is not easy on him because I like things done a certian way and I have a problem with criticizing when things are not done my way. He has been doing more acts of service when what I need is quality time.
Another thing I learned is on receiving gifts. Before I read the book I did not understood women that need gifts from their husbands. Now I see that is how they feel loved if that is their primary love languge.
Nathen and I rearley do gifts between each other during the holidays. I have friends that feel unloved if they do not get presents. If Nathen does get me a present I am usually upset how much he spent on something. This is because receiving gifts is not one of my love languges.
I am going to show Nathen love through his primary love languge and see if it works like the book says. I think giving him love the way he needs will because it makes sense to me.
Thanks to the two people who talked about the love languages over cards. You made me love my husband more rathen than bash on him like most women.
