Lil Stinker...

Daddy made me look funny! Now that my hair is longer, I can have great hair styles in the bath tub, as well as have AWESOME bed head!!

I got this outfit from my cousins, Loren and Sue. I think if I were bigger, it would be a cute first day of school dress. :) It was chillier yesterday morning, so I wore tights and a long sleeve underneath. By the afternoon, however, I ditched the tights and cowboy boots. Cousin Makayla came over and stayed a few days with me, so we took our picture together. I love Max and Makayla. They make me LAUGH!

Max n Paige

Cousin Max came over and played with me this morning. We had matching clothes on so Mommy decided we needed our picture taken. I love Max. He makes me laugh!

July and August Pics--FINALLY!

The top picture on the right is when Grammy and Papa came over earlier this summer. We went for a hike by Anthony Lakes and I got tired.

We went to Lincoln City to visit Grammy and Papa after we worked on my uncles' house in Portland. We had lots of fun. We went on a hike (pictured above in the grass), played in the ocean, and even made candles in the sand like Grammy used to do when she was little. I really, really liked the water even though it was very cold. I wanted to go back for more, but my mommy and daddy thought my feet were going to fall off. The hike was called Cascade Head and it was right above the ocean. It was pretty.

The weather was so nice, I even got to play in the swimming pool at Grammy and Papa's.

Uncle Matt was home from Guatemala where he teaches. (Daddy says that's where his real Mommy and Daddy live.) We helped them work on their house in Portland. Uncle Pat is the one on the left, Uncle Matt is on the right.

We also went to Seattle this summer. Again, I LOVED the water and enjoyed being pulled around in my hippo. Grandpa was chicken to go too deep because he was cold. Makayla likes to swim as much as I do, so I can always count on her to go with me.

This is my Uncle Dave and his grandson, Jameson. We had crazy hair after we went swimming. Uncle Dave makes me laugh. He looks like my grandpa.

This is me, playing in the water again! I can't get enough of the water!

This is my friend, Ellie. We were born three days apart. We were at some friends house for the 4th of July. The fireworks scared me, so Grammy and Papa took me home to go to bed. Ellie fell asleep during the festivities! She's so brave! I hope next year I don't freak out as much.

We had dinner at my mommy's cousin's house while in Seattle. They put some pretties in my hair, so I thought I'd pose. Don't I look excited?

Being Mischievous!

Where'd these come from? Have they been here the whole time and I've missed the fun? I was rather amused by the new escape route, but Mom and Dad weren't as happy for me.

Grammy and Papa come today and are going to be so excited to see all of my new tricks!

Paige's First Birthday

I had my first birthday on Saturday. Lots of people came to help me celebrate. I LOVE frosting...that's my favorite part. I especially liked all of th attention I got when eating, so I really hammed it up for my audience. After my night of partying I was really excited to play with my bubble machine. Cousin Max was pretending to eat them while Gpa blew the bubbles. I thought it was hilarious!

This was my "pool party." It was chilly, but I still LOVED being in the water. My friend, Sydney, and cousin, Max, enjoyed it just as much!

Aunt Nettie decorated my cake. Isn't it fun? Mommy and Daddy make cupcakes that looked like beach balls as well.

I was ready for my pool party in my watermelon suit. Overall it was a blast! I was sure tired!!

Peekaboo and napping with Daddy!

Daddy took me upstairs to read me a story before I went to bed...Neither of us lasted long...we were out when Mommy caught us with the camera!

This is a dress that someone from Gma and Gpa's coffee group gave me when I was first born. I LOVE summer!

I thought I was being sneaky, peeking around the table, but Mom caught me! :)

Paige's Long Trip

After we returned home from our long trip, we visited Dr. Kosz and Nurse Bev. It has been almost a year since they have seen me, so we had fun playing together. Dr. Kosz is who took care of my mommy and got me out of her fast and safe. He is a special man with a great gift.

I think Derek Jeter is cute like my mom. :)

I spent a couple of innings sleeping, but then I enjoyed the excitement of the Yankee's victory soon after my power nap!

I stopped off at the Hershey Chocolate Factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Daddy, Cousin Makayla, and I posed in Gettysburg at a historic building while taking a break to eat.

These rocks were at Gettysburg. I'm sure my dad will take me back here when I'm old enough to care about history. He LOVES to learn about it, so we'll be back...

I thought the Amish country in Berlin, Ohio was really neat. I liked the buggies and horses on the roads! The people were very friendly, too!

Mommy, Daddy, Makayla, and I went on a really long trip earlier this month. We started at my parents' friend, Todd's, wedding in Chicago. Then we drove to the Amish country in Ohio and Gettysburg, Indiana, finally ending up in New York City for a NY Yankee game. We went from the extremes of the simple Amish life to that of the crazy New York City people. I really liked flirting with the people on the train into the city even though we could not understand one another.

Here Daddy and I pose in front of "Touch Down Jesus" at Notre Dame...where Daddy thinks I need to go to school. I think he really just wants tickets to football games. :)
