Happy Halloween!

paige was a little lamb- so cute. i decided to take a little video of her walking too...i've had a few requests. enjoy!

a few weeks ago we got to go up to Shaver Lake with our life group (small group/bible study- whatever you want to call it) and spend a fun weekend lounging, playing games & just hanging out. we stayed in a beautiful home that belongs to a family at our church- they were gracious enough to let us stay there for free! so fun.

monkey love...paige continues to love her monkeys. all monkeys...she loves them all. in fact she picks them up now and makes monkey noises. aaron has trained her well. enjoy the video below.

...happy father's day & a dutch baby!

happy father's day aaron...paige and i love you!

check out my other blog everydayVALENTINE for more of my thoughts on aaron and the amazing father he is!

paige is crawling, learning, getting into everything and very needy these days...she is also eating joe's o's (cheerios)!

she obviously did not know what to think of this hat...hmmmm...i think she makes the perfect dutch baby!

Happy Earth Day...check out my other blog for more on the subject: everydayVALENTINE

...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!
