Cousin Anna's 2nd Birthday!

We had fun at Anna's party! See Anna in the middle? Hard to believe I'll be just 1 year behind her...she is so much taller than me! I look like a little shrimpy...a happy little shrimp. That's my cousin Vince in front of Anna too...he's 16 months old. We had a lot of fun today.

Okay, Vince! I told you I'd be a good passenger with no back seat driving talk only if you be careful. Otherwise I'll take over the driver's seat! :)

C'mon guys...we're just driving. You are acting like the papparazzi!

I'm not happy unless I'm out walking around. Grandpa and I are walking the party with Anna's bubble net.

Daddy's Day at the Lake!

Surprisingly it was a PERFECT day at the lake! Daddy and I hung out on our beach today. I even wore my new sunglasses. I didn't like them at first, but I got used to 'em.

I was just crusin' around in the plush green grass. Mom had to be sure I did find any of Rainey's hidden do-do. I had fun today chasing after soccer balls, finding worms and catapillers and walking all around the cabins.

I had time to sit in our kiddie pool...this was yesterday and it was pretty chilly when the sun wasn't out. I had fun with my cousin Anna though. She will be 2 next weekend! I'll put up our party pics for you all to see.

Kinda looks like I have big pipes...check out my arm! :) Just drying off from a refreshing swim.

Oh Grandpa...hope I didn't wreck your back having you walk me all around the lawn. But, I LOOOOOVE walking!

Me, Da-de and Rainey hanging out in the fishing boat.

Playing in the sand. Good thing I got my shades on...it's sunny out here!

Me and uncle Steve. Man...I look like a chunk-a-lunk here. Mom doesn't let me go hungry!

Playing by the castle in the sand...what a fun day with my daddy!

Keeping Busy at 11 Months

Well, HI everybody! I'm 11 months now and keeping mommy and daddy busy. I'm giving their fingers a workout with all the assisted walking I'm doing. I'm giving BIG hugs and kisses (mom might argue my kisses resemble more of a bite). I just can't wait for this summer to stay so I can be a water baby all summer! :)

CHEESE! Look at all my white locks blowing in the wind! LOL. And, can you see my 6 teeth? I'm a maniac these days and getting into everything. I'm a VERY happy gal and love going to school to play in the tent there.

Paige's Loot from Vacation

OH MY GOODNESS....NO WAY!! I'm so excited for my new Minnie Mouse and Mickey Crocs! And, I'm excited to see you guys too. I've been with Grammy Sue for a week and got spoiled with new toys, new shoes and lots of new food. This is the best day ever!

I can't help but smile to see my daddy and all my new loot from Disney World. Thanks for bringing me all these goodies. I like my new hat too! Maybe next time I can go with you...Mom and Dad say I'll have to be big enough to remember.

I'm wearing my new Mickey ears with my own name on it (wearing it backwards). Dad got it personalized just for me! Did I mention this was the best day ever?

Kari's Wedding in Florida!

The beautiful bride walking down the sandy beach to the alter with Del and Teri (her parents). It was such a great day...sun shining, perfect beach and weather with amazing friends. We had an absolutely relaxing and fantastic time! We missed our little Paige...but it was so good to get away from the routine. It was almost like a honeymoon for us :)

The groom (Ryan)...waiting patiently for his new bride-to-be.

All of the ol' Gamma Phi girls from UNL. It was good to hang out like old times...we missed you Brooke!

A windy rehearsal BBQ night...Rachel, Kari and I before the big wedding day.

A quick pic of us before we headed out for the night. Every day was about 95 and just beautiful! Well...Rick would say it was a sauna. He's used to -30 for 6 months out of the year up here! It was heaven to me! :)
