Special Friends

My friend Desi and her baby Jayden are in town visiting from Wisconsin.  Baby Jayden is now 8 months old and this was the first time meeting her!  She is just adorable and is the best baby ever.  Paige, Desi and I got pedicures, did some shopping and then went for coffee and cake pops! 

It was a great girls day out!

We were able to get together a few more times throughout her three week visit and it was great.  I miss my friend Desi so much!  She needs to move back to Idaho!

Jayden loves the camera!

Happy Father's Day

Losing Another Tooth

Paige just lost her 3rd tooth!  Each time she loses a tooth she gets a little more dramatic.  This tooth just hung there for a few days and needed just one little tug to get it out, but oh no!

In the end, she accidentally bonked herself in the face and knocked that tooth right out!  The loss of this big tooth left a big hole.  She looks pretty cute and talks a little funny!

T-Ball

We love watching these 5 & 6 year old girls play t-ball.  This is Paige's 2nd year of playing and I spend most of the games laughing! 

Paige likes to play t-ball but the games are really kind of boring unless you are hitting or playing an infield position.  Last year she was on the same team and wore the same colors.  She was not impressed when she found out everything was the same this year!  She said, "but red is my favorite color now".   :)

Paige and her coach

We have a great little hitter on our hands!  She hits that ball clear out past 2nd base every time.  So far we have always practiced in our front yard, but this year she can hit it clear out across the street.  Her daddy gets a little more exercise now and I just sit back and laugh!

Still, to this day, Paige's favorite part of t-ball is the yummy snack they get after the game!

More Spring Fun!

Paige had her Spring dance recital and did such a fantastic job!  This girl has some rhythm and loves Hip Hop dance alot.  This summer she will be taking a Zumba kids class.  I take an adult Zumba class so she wants to try the kids version.


Ready for her recital!

 Dance and gymnastics are coming to an end, at least for a couple weeks, and now it is tball time!  Paige's first tball game is tomorrow.  The team is consists of fifteen 5&6 year old girls so I spent most my time laughing.  They are so cute!

This last weekend we had our Smith Family reunion.  All my mom's siblings and their families were here.  We had a BBQ on Saturday and then we hosted a brunch at our house on Sunday.  A great time was had by all.  All the cousins are getting so grown up and have so much fun together.

Cousin Scott and Paige.  Scott was one of the ring bearers in our wedding.
Next year he will be a Junior in High School!

Paige has 12 days of school left until Summer vacation.  First grade has been wonderful!  We are sad to see it come to an end but look forward to what second grade has to offer.  I need to get busy and make our Summer to do list.  I make a big list of all the fun stuff we have going this summer and that helps Paige deal with school coming to an end.

Happy Spring!

I think Spring is finallly here to stay, maybe!  Yesterday it got up over 70 degrees and I actually got a little sunburn.  We have had a busy month with Paige dancing at the Dogwood Festival, Easter, me being the chairman for our school carnival this year and Curtis going to Florida for four days.  Wish I could say that our lives are going to slow down, but I don't see that happening until after the 4th of July.  Paige will be starting T-ball here real soon and her final Spring dance recital is in 10 days.  Last weekend all this chaos hit Paige and I.  We were a little grumpy and not feeling so well.  She would cry and then that made me cry.  We are such girls!  Good thing Curtis wasn't home to watch all this.  He just doesn't understand all our emotions :)

At the Dogwood Festival

The Easter Bunny brought silly string, so fun, but it smelled so that was the end of that!

Spring Break 2011

We had a nice relaxing Spring Break!  We started it off by going to McCall one last time to get some Spring skiing in.  It definitely was not spring in McCall.  In four days, Brundage Mtn got 34 inches of new snow which made for some awesome skiing.  It was nice to leave all that snow behind and come back to Lewiston!

A new skate park was recently constructed down on the levy.  We have driven by almost daily watching the progress and anticipating opening day.  Well, opening day came and it was pure craziness!  Paige was bummed that so many teenagers were there and decided she didn't want to go after all.  Over Spring break, I told Paige we could get up early and go to the skate park.  She was hestitant but we did it and she had a blast!
