a few paige videos...eating and talking!

...six & a half months and counting!

i have a lot of updating to do to get the blog current- when i have the most things to blog i am usually busy and don't have time to blog- but i do enjoy it and all of your "not-so-subtle" hints have been loud and clear that i am slacking. there are a ton of these pictures from aunt ev and they were all so cute that i added them to our family website. you can click here or check out our link to the right.





















carson & i shared our valentine birthday together! what a cutie!
































paige got to meet all of aaron's old friends from westview on our last visit to southern california...we had a lovely lunch with our friend lourthu after seeing everyone else at the office. aaron loved working for lourthu and the rest of the staff at westview...so it was fun to see them and introduce them to paige!

we got to visit paige's little boyfriend tate last month...it was so fun and you can see the love connection already. tate might look serious- but i think he is just trying to be tough in front of his woman! check out the bowen's blog too!

...february pics, p.f. changs & a mushroom!

here are a bunch of fun pictures i took in february. enjoy!

yummy...we love spit up on the carpet...thankfully she rarely spits up anymore!

so i have a great story to tell you all. back in december our life group decided to go to p.f. changs for a special birthday dinner to celebrate deAuna and tim. trent made reservations weeks in advance and we decided to bring paige along since the only babysitters we could come up with would be at the dinner festivities. unfortunately when we got there the restaurant informed us that all large parties have to sit on the patio (this is december folks- we are talking cold). of course they failed to mention this when trent made the reservation...not good. the girls were dressed up (a few in dresses) and paige was with us (and only four months old), the metal chairs were so cold that we were borrowing our husbands coats to sit on and of course the heat lamp over us was broken- so that was special too. we had fun- but it was less than ideal. josh decided to call p.f. changs the next day and let them know what had happened. the regional manager apologized and felt so bad about it that he made us reservations to come back and to get a $200 credit towards our bill....sweet. so in february we went back- had an awesome free meal, inside the restaurant and enjoyed another evening with some of our favorite people. now that is good customer service if you ask me!

here is a gross mushroom thing we found in our yard...we have no idea what it is but think it must be in the fungus/fungi category... it was the size of a very large pie. yuck!
