August Fun!

Paige has been enjoying all the sunshine and summer fun.  She got her first farm fresh corn - a new favorite - and a day trip to the beach.  Seagulls are very interesting and fun to chase.  Too bad we could never catch one!  She is getting close to walking.  She stands up all by herself and smiles a big "I'm so proud of me" grin. 

Paige's Year!

Birthday Party!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Paige's first birthday with family and family friends.  Paige is so blessed to have so many people who love her!  We celebrated with Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar theme.  We had a yummy dinner and cupcakes for dessert.  Lots of laughter and fun!

Pre-party smiles!

I'm turning 1!

Look a caterpillar in my hair!

Animals on the wrapping paper - so exciting!

Can I have that?

Caterpillar decorations

Cupcakes - yum!

New things!

Party Time!

Happy Birthday Paige!

Mmmmm!

Don't forget to lick your fingers to get every last crumb!

What fun - can we sleep now?

Camping!

We have been camping the past two weekends.  Paige has been a great traveler.  We have been to Crooked River Ranch, hiking at Smith Rock, and camping with friends and boating on Green Peter Lake.  

Hiking at Smith Rock with Mom and Dad.

They make a great hiking team!

Boating . . . This life jacket is so big!

Can I drive?

What a cutie!  She was so curious about all of the buttons.

Lots of crawling to the edge of the blanket to get to the dirt!

Anyone tired after all that camping fun?
