NeBraSka In MaRCh!

Spring break has come and gone and we are settling back in to our normal routine! Paige and I were able to go back to Nebraska for a week to visit my family once again! We had so much fun! Paige has changed so much since December in the way she relates to the kids there! She played with all of them! Tessa, who is 10 months older, was her buddy! They did so much together and there wasn't too many arguments! :) We didn't do too much while we were there, but it was nice to just visit! The weather was perfect the whole week! We had a couple of days that were chilly but not bad at all! We took a drive to the new foot bridge that crosses over the Missouri River into Iowa. That was amazing! We also visited the Durham Heritage Museum. The kids loved the trains and some were very uspet to leave (Brody)! :) It was a great trip and we look forward to our next trip in July and this time Jason gets to go with us! :) YEA!!

MaRcH...and spring is just around the corner!


That's right! Spring is almost here! The weather is getting so nice and that means we finally get to spring outside! :) The sandbox has been uncovered, her slide is ready and outside we stay! We are still working on our stemwall - it's a slow process since Jason has been working every other weekend! We are so thankful for his job and are grateful for the extra hours! I am babysitting my friend's little boy 4 days a week now, so we stay home alot more. He is a great playmate for Paige! Paige is a thriving 19 month old and has been told by the doctor that she has an advanced vocabulary! I'm not sure where she gets the talkativeness from! :) She is so much fun and brightens our day! She makes us laugh constantly! We are trying again for #2 and praying that it will be successful. In February, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and have to use fertility treatments once again! So far, we have only used one treatment and we will know soon if it worked! We are putting it all in the Lord's hands! We are looking forward to expanding our family and seeing what the Lord has in store for us in the coming months!















Paige and Holly (the horse) have become good friends!
Paige yells at her to come eat her grass, which as most of you
know, horses loved being yelled at! :)


















Her masterpiece! "Pabo" (Paige for Pablo) is her
favorite character from The Backyardigans! :)

Well, we are just about to begin a new month! Where did January go? This month is going to be filled with lots of home rennovation! We are starting our stem wall this weekend and getting some work done around the house before summer. We are going to try to get a sprinkler sytem in as well!Paige is 18 months and is getting more and more talkative! She is putting lots of words together and mimics everything that we say! :) She will be busy in the coming months as well. In April, her Aunt Andrea is getting married and she will be the flower girl and in June, another friend, Becky is getting married and she is the flower girl in that one, too! Jason and I are in the June wedding as well! This is the year for marriage! :)

Well, it's 2009! Where has the time gone? We are looking forward to a great year!
Paige, 17 months now, is the joy of our lives! She is so much fun and everyday makes us smile and laugh. She is growing up so much and talking more and more! It's getting colder now, so we have to play inside alot. Her sandbox sits empty for the winter. Soon enough, it will be spring and we will be out and about! We are planning on planting a garden - she will love being in the dirt. It will be a great outdoor activity!
Jason is still traveling back and forth to Phoenix, which is a long drive for him, but he and I are so thankful that he has a good job! He is currently involved in our church's Men's Fraternity and is the director of our AWANA's TREK (junior high) group (as am I). We are also involved in a young families group as well.
I am still staying at home and enjoying the precious time I have with Paige. I also babysit my friend's little boy as well. They are great friends already! :)
We are planning for more children, and are sure it will happen in God's time! We are so thankful for all of His provisions in our lives! HAPPY 2009!
