...aaron's new blog & baby updates!

aaron started a very cool new blog titled TruthRemedy or www.truthremedy.blogspot.com. i will let you read about it for yourself...but i must say that i am thrilled he is finally putting his thoughts and ideas into words. aaron is smart & he has a lot of wisdom to offer...he likes to explore issues and ideas that many of us never think twice about. it should be a great discussion, a place to seek truth and to think about what we believe. check it out for yourself!

we have been very busy around here but i hope to post new pictures of paige in the next few days...in the meantime check out my cousin kim's blog for a video & some pics. here are a few of her jcpenney pictures (i put one on my everydayVALENTINE blog already)!!! so cute!

...first born, snowshoeing & of course paige!

i came across this picture today of my parents with my sister jen (aunt fifi) when she was just an itty bitty baby! i was amazed at how similar it is to a picture aaron and i took with paige when she was just a week old- how sweet. i don't always look like my mom- but in this picture even our hair style is similar.

i hate to officially admit this- but now i get it when they say there is something special about your first born child. i hate admitting it because being the "middle child martyr" is so much more fun. but i'm sure that this is not the first time i will have to eat my words about my childhood now that i am a parent.
last week aaron and tim went snowshoeing...they had fun until aaron's snowshoe broke and he spent 30 minutes trying to fix it. in a very magiver-like fashion he shoved a bobby pin in it and made it work so that they could at least hike a little ways. but it was not the trip they had hoped for. luckily REI gave them a refund and that just means that they get to go again.

here is another video of paige...

...everydayVALENTINE!

i'm excited to introduce my new blog www.everydayvalentine.blogspot.com! this is a blog about things that i care about and think about. hopefully this will be something i can do for myself...mind you- i do love dealing with spit up and baby giggles most of the time...but i need other outlets to get me through the day! enjoy!

...giggles, sunglasses and more!

a few weeks ago we went to pine flat lake dam (i think that is what it is called) and got some fresh air. it was a beautiful and crisp day and hopefully the first of many outings paige will go on in the near future. i am loving winter- but on days like that i am excited for spring and all the outdoor adventures to embark upon!

hippy chick paige!

this picture is blurry- but i don't care. this is a very typical paige smile and we rarely catch it on camera...she must love her new heart sunglasses!

we got away for the weekend last week to pleasanton. my brothers band 77straight was in a battle of the bands competition and we have never heard him play. it was really cool to be there and finally get to see him play. he loves his music and i have to say they are very talented musicians...who knew you could have fun at the golden skate on a saturday night? paige could not make it to the show...but i have a feeling she is going to be uncle drew's biggest fan!

and of course paige loves aunt fifi too. they matched so perfectly i had to get a pic. the saddest part of our weekend however was that aunt fifi got really sick and we could not see her the rest of our trip. it was sooooo sad. i did sneak away with her the last night i was in town to go see JUNO (go see this move- it is refreshing and delightful and funny and sooooo good). what a fun little date we had (i left paige with grammy...so it was a nice break too).

asleep with daddy again...this girl loves her daddy!

the christian family came to visit us for a night and it was so much fun! josiah is growing like a weed and is a cute little man. he is the spitting image of his daddy.

we got to meet raegan for the first time and she is the spitting image of her mommy

i loved holding little raegan...she is just a doll. very smiley and social. she is so little and i kept saying that i could not believe paige was that small just a few months ago.here the girls are looking at each other- we know they are going to be great friends!

raegen (2 1/2 months) & paige (5 months)

i cannot get this picture turned around- but this is another cute outfit from gigi marlene! paige is so spoiled...but i love it. she has more clothes than me!

***
paige is hoping to be the best break dancing civilian in fresno!

i wonder who could teach her a few moves?

here are 2 new videos...one of paige in her new hat (thank you grammy) and one of her adorable giggle. i apologize that the footage is terrible...but i was trying to get her giggle and she only lets it out on rare occasions...she is always smiling...but it is rare when sound actually comes out! enjoy!
