Just Because.......

I really love this picture!

This picture was taken up at Winchester Lake

Paige turned 6 years old!

July 15 was Paige's 6th birthday.  Curtis' sister, Heidi, was here for the week and for the third year in a row we went to Silverwood for Paige's actual birthday.  Paige's favorite ride this year wase the Umbrella's.  Not so much "my" favorite!  We spent most our time over at Boulder Beach since it was so hot that day.  Later that evening we took Paige to Red Robin for her birthday dinner.  Red Robin was actually there but Paige would have nothing to do with him.  She was constantly watching for him out of the corner of her eye.

A couple days later, we had a birthday party for Paige at 360 Gymnastics.  A great group of kids came to the party and fun was had by all.  The theme of the party this year was iCarly.  We still can't get over how fast she is growing.  These six years seem to have flown by!

Rock Wall Climbing

This rock climbing wall is 35 ft tall and Paige climbed to the top 4 times. She has such strong arms and legs for a five year old. This wall is man made by Curtis' boss and family. It is amazing! They also have an adult zip line and a kids zip line but Paige came right back to the rock climbing wall. I thought the zip line looked safer but she prefers more of a challenge just like her daddy!

4th of July-McCall

We spent the 4th of July in McCall. The weather was a little cool for this time of year but we still spent lots of time swimming and laying by the pool. Paige was a fish this year! No fear of the water and she learned how to swim and dive with her goggles. Quite an achievement for her! The fireworks show over the Payette Lake was awesome. The last few years we have visited "our" spot, or so we call it, on the end of a dock to watch the show.

Paige took this picture of Curtis and I down by the lake.  I thought she did a great job!

Paige lost her 1st tooth!

On June 30th, Paige lost her 1st tooth! We had a feeling that it would come out while we were on vacation and it did. It had been super wiggly for a couple of days. Her daddy offered to just pull it real quick and she said, "no, I can do it". It wasn't too much longer and she pulled it out all by herself. So much excitement! Paige's next concern was the tooth fairy. How was the tooth fairy going to find her in "McCall"??? Paige decided she didn't want the tooth fairy to take her tooth away so we wrote a letter to the tooth fairy asking her not to take it. When morning came, Paige woke up crying because there was no $ from the tooth fairy. I was a little concerned because I left this job up to Curtis. In the end, we found $ at the bottom of her sleeping bag. Phew!!!
