Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone! We had a wonderful and fun-filled Easter weekend. Yesterday we spent the day with Cassie (Brad's sister), Shane, Grant, Brooke, Nana, and Papa. We had a yummy lunch, an Easter egg hunt, and we celebrated Brooke's 6th birthday! I can't believe she is already six! When Brad and I started dating she was nine months old and now she is six!!
Paige getting excited about hunting for eggs.

I loved her dress. She looked so adorable!

Cassie took a few family shots of us. Here and two of my favorites!

As you can see, she thought it was the best!

A Rainy Day Photoshoot

It has been raining all day today! So, I decided to take Paige outside and get some pictures of her playing in the rain. Here she is hiding with her ELMO umbrella.
Check me out!

Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Cooking with mommy!

Paige really loves to help me in the kitchen. Whenever I am cooking dinner she always wants to be a part of the process. She always says, "Help, Mommy, okay? " Here she is helping me make a pizza this past weekend.
Here she is singing an Italian pizza song as she works.
This shot is from another day when she was helping me make a spinach salad. Yes, she will actually eat the spinach while she is helping. I'll get those green vegtables in her whatever way I can!
I truly love having her help me and want to spend so much time with me. I am trying to cherish these times because I know she won't always want to help mommy.

Random Pictures!

Paige wants you to know the new "rage" in fashion is stickers all over your body!

Opening another present!

Paige's favorite things!

Believe it or not, Paige actually likes to brush her teeth. A few weeks ago I started to let her "have a turn" brushing first and then Mommy/Daddy get a turn. Since then she hasn't fought with us about brushing her teeth.
Paige in her new nightgown. She loves wearing nightgowns. Every night at bedtime she kept asking me to put her in over-sized t-shirts, so I finally went out and bought her a nightgown. She was so excited about it last night and here she is showing it off. She will probably want to wear it every night now. I will have to go out and get some more.
Paige loves to push things especially her baby in the stroller and her shopping cart.
She also loves wearing all of Mommy's shoes and walking around the house in them.

Brad's Birthday!

Happy 38th Birthday to Brad! (I am posting very late.) His birthday was last Wednesday on February 2oth! Paige and I made daddy some wonderful dinner. We also made him his favorite cake(chocolate cake with chocolate icing). We are so happy that we could celebrate Daddy. We love him very much and he is a wonderful father and a wonderful husband. We feel very blessed to have him in our life!
Somebody also liked Daddy's cake!
Paige made sure she ate every last bite and then....
She decided that it was so good that she should probably lick the plate. This was so funny. After she licked the plate she looked at Brad and I, and she says, "More, please?"

The end result....chocolate and ice cream everywhere!
