Happy Birthday Paige!

This little lady turned 7 today! As I think back seven years ago, it has gone so fast. Paige was the kind of baby that you want to never grow up! She was patient, happy, slept like a rock, barely cried...such a sweety! Here we are years later, and lucky for me a lot of those things have not changed.

My favorite things about Paige...she is mellow...she is sweet...she makes friends so easily...she is funny (she really makes us laugh!)...she has a very tender heart...she can be a tomboy and a girly girl...she loves nature and to be outside...with enough sleep (so important for her) she is quite happy and pleasant...and, I must say I love the curly hair and freckles!!

I would love to post some pictures of her special day, but I had to give her the batteries out of my camera. What kind of mom gives her daughter a new toy with no batteries?

Cousin fun..

A few days before we were supposed to leave town to enjoy a cabin with all the family, we decided to take the kids to Blast-off, so the 3 mom's and the grandma could make a very long grocery list to feed all 17 of us for 5 days. We figured the kids would play, and the ladies could get all of the meal planning done.

The big kids and Uncle Shae played a little golf. It got a little reckless and crazy when Zach and Carson decided to join in the fun.

Carson wanted tokens so bad, and when we finally hooked him up with some, him and Zach decided to play Skee-ball (I think that is what they call that game??)! It was rather dangerous, I don't think it is recommended to throw the balls overhand for this particular game. We were running everywhere to catch balls that he threw, and then bounced off the cage. I tried to help him, but he really wanted to try it all by himself. I am so glad it was a slow day, and we didn't injure anyone.

They had so much fun, I only wish they had cousins around all the time to play with!!
