Rocky Point

Garet, Paige and I just got back from Mexico with my family. Every year we get to go down and spend time with the fam at the beach. Its always so much fun. Everyone was able to go this year with the exception of Jared who is on his mission and Spencer who had to stay home for school. We missed them both!! We pretty much do the same thing every year but its always nice to get away and be together. Sometimes when we go, the town can get quite crowded with all the tourist for Memorial weekend. But with the "horrible swine flu" and the crazy drug boarder problem, there weren't as many people there. It was nice. We were debating for a while whether or not we should go down there b/c of the "Bad Stuff" but after our research we decided it was fine to go down there. I am so glad we did b/c we had a blast. We weren't ready to come home after our 4 1/2 days there.

I wasn't exactly sure how Paige would do with the ocean. I figured she would like it b/c she LOVES water...and I knew she would like all the sand b/c she LOVES dirt. I was right, she loved the sand and had no fear of the water. I really had to watch her b/c she would just run down to the water and try to get in. I was afraid a wave would catch her. I am glad that she had a fun time though.

The only picture I could get of Paige looking at me. It was so hard to get her to look up and take a picture. She didn't want to stop playing.

Whats going to the beach without a little beach baseball?

Dinner at Aquis Con Flavio's- (not a taco stand but still good food)

Paige enjoying her ice cream after dinner

Can you tell she loves ice cream??

My two favorite beach bums!

Uncle Jordan, Kade and Paige- doesn't she look cute in the sunglasses?

Sunday activity- Kade and Piage coloring....by the way I love these markers. I think they are called wonder colors. They don't color on ANYTHING but the paper!!!

Recap of last year...isn't Paige so small?


Our family this year!!!

Garet's family is planing on going down to Rocky Point next month for his parents 5oth wedding anniversary. I am so excited to go again!!!

She makes me laugh!

I really don't have time to sit and make a post but I took these pictures of Paige last week and thought they were so funny! I can't look at these without laughing. She is such a funny girl. Like most kids her age she is into "big" shoes and loves to walk around in them. Its so funny. She also has been doing this funny smile. When we tell her to smile she says, "CHEESE" and then smiles so big she can't keep her eyes open.

Oh and one more thing I have to say about Paige.....Garet and I are so excited. Yesterday was her first Sunday (out of 4) to not cry and stay in nursery the entire time. She had a good time too. All week long we kept talking about nursery and how mom and dad were going to leave her and let her play with toys, with other kids, eat snacks and play with bubbles. I am not sure how much she really comprehended but when sacrament meeting was almost over she said,
" Mom go Nursery now?" of course it sounded more like, " Mom doe nursy now"
Hopefully this continues and this just wasn't a fluke thing. But were excited for the progress. We are going to be changing the nursery leaders around soon so that might be a problem. Well see!!

(I had to take 5 pictures here before I got her eyes open for this picture)

April update!

I really don't like making these post once a month. I have been having this trend lately. Things are starting to calm down so I hope it will make it easier for me to post. For the entire month of April our internet has been down. Hopefully we won't have it down again anytime soon. I have missed the internet world and have missed spying on all of your lives. This time I will try and do pictures and narrate our month that way. We all know pictures are much more fun then reading someones long catch up narrative.

Cabin fever/ conference weekend.

It was so much fun to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa before they went on their mission. They are now in Nauvoo. I will miss seeing them when I go home!

The gang..excluding me the photographer! (Paige, Garet, Grandma, Grandpa, Ron, Dustin, Hailee, Kylane)

Grandma and Paige. Paige wanted to go on a walk with her.

Paige playing in the dirt. She was in Heaven. Grandma said I did the same thing...and probably in the same spot when I came to the cabin at her age.

Paige and her little cousin Hailee. Aren't they cute!!

Easter
Easter weekend we went to SV. My mom and sister megan were gone but we still got to visit with everyone else. It was fun but I missed mom and megan being there. We had a really fun weekend though with lots of activities: egg dying, dinner @ Marlees, City easter egg hunt, baseball games, easter picnic, sisters night out, church, Easter dinner!!!
Paige got tons of eggs on the hunt. She was proud.

Our Easter picnic. We had to do it indoors b/c the weather was really bad outside!! Not your picnic weather.

Paige looked so cute in her Easter dress. Thanks for the dress Kylee.

Our family Easter picture. Growing up we always took Easter pictures here...couldn't break tradition!!

Disneyland
For 5 days Garet and I went to California with two of Garets siblings and their spouses. We all went to celebrate our "anniversaries". It was so much fun!!!! Thanks Laura, Johnny, Kenny and M'lee! I also have to thank my family in Sierra Vista. They watched Paige for us while we were gone. We couldn't have gone with out you!! I know Paige had fun b/c whenever she sees family pictures of them she gets excited! Here are our pics!!!

The only picture I got of Mickey

Our little group!

Thunder Mountain Railroad..not my favorite ride but still a fun one!!

When we weren't playing we were eating!! We had some good food while we were there. This was my favorite place...the Cheesecake factory!

I love this picture!! & I love the Bug Life 's Show! M'lee, Amanda and Laura...the girls!Garet REALLY wanted to go swimming and was sad nobody would go with him...it was WAY to cold!! The ocean was pretty though!

New Port Beach Temple

Disneyland was fun and has a fun exciting atmosphere but you can't beat the feeling you feel when you go on the temple grounds. The Temple was so pretty. I love the landsape. There were even litle rabbits jumping around EVERYWHERE!! You could really feel the spirit there. Next time I hope to be able to do a session there!
