New Pics

We went to the park the other day with some friends from out ward. Afterwards, my friend Karla took some pics of Paige and I together. They turned out pretty well. Thanks Karla.

Paige is quite active these days...as most babies are. I found a jumperoo on Craigs list for her to use for awhile. It is huge and takes up way too much space, but I figure when we are done with it, I will just sell it for the same price I bought it. She LOVES the thing. Here is a short video of her pure excitement. She gets some serious air. So cute!

We're Alive!!

I know that I haven't updated my blog in ages, but no worries, we are still alive. There is way too much to catch up on so I am just going to pretend that July and August never happened (for now anyway).

Paige and I just took a trip to Utah to visit Casey. He has been working this month at the ER at the University of Utah. My parents have a condo right next to Temple Square in Salt Lake City so we stayed there. We had a lot of fun. Casey only had to work three shifts while I was there which was nice because we were able to spend quite a bit of time together. Here are some pics from our trip.
My parents have been at the MTC for the past couple weeks so they came up on Thursday and babysat Paige while we went out and on Friday we were able to go to the Temple. They left Friday morning for thier mission in San Jose, CA. This is the view from the street where we stayed. You can see the temple from the window at the condo where we stayed...so pretty.
We went for a walk along a trail next to a creek. Paige was practically crawling out of her stroller trying to see the running water. It was a new sight for her.

We went hiking one day-apparently it was naptime. Paige fell asleep while we were still hiking.

Here is Paige and her second cousin Paje. She was born exactly a month after our Paige. Ours is definitely more chubby...no question there.
It was a great trip. We sure do miss Casey a lot and we can't wait for him to come home. This single mom gig got old weeks ago. I don't know how all those military wives in our ward deal with thier husbands being gone. Yuck!!!
