Summer and 2!

This summer has been a very big summer for us! We have been keeping cool in the pool! Paige took 3 weeks of swimming lessons and our local pool! We did the parent/tot class to get her used to being in the water without touching! :) She was amazing! She loves going under the water! My dad came with us a few times and she would "dive" under water and get balls from him and various other things! Her favorite thing to do is jump in the pool, climb out, and jump in again. We did lots of that.

Along with swimming lessons, Paige decided she wanted to go potty in the big potty! That was about a month ago and now we are totally in big girl panties (except at night, of course)! It has been quite an experience!

July 31, Paige got her very first haircut! It was mainly a trim, but a haircut nonetheless! :)

August 1, we celebrated Paige's 2nd birthday with a big party! (I know, I know, she's only 2) It was so much fun! We had a small pool party and lots of people over for a BBQ and cake and ice cream and, or course, presents!

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!
