Our birthday girl!

Look who turned 1!!

 

I can’t believe our little girl is ONE!! It is so crazy!! She is the greatest blessing to our family and we love her so much!! We had a birthday party to celebrate her turning 1! It was a great turn out. We had Jimmy Johns sandwiches for lunch, opened her presents and then finished the party off with cupcakes!! Delicious! Paige had a lot of fun and was such a cute little birthday girl. Our theme was cupcakes and her shirt had a cute cupcake on it that said “I’m the birthday girl” She got a lot of really cute clothes and a bunch of fun toys too!! I think she liked the cupcake part the best though. She loves to smash her own food and boy did she have a good time with her very own cupcake!! She is such a sweetie! Here are some pictures from her birthday party! Thanks to everyone that came and for the gifts and the good company. It was a great day!

Paige has gotten pretty good at opening presents!

She is such a sweetheart and I couldn't ask for a better child!

I love you Paige!

Surgery

 Most of you probably know that for the past 2 years I have had horrible problems with my sinuses. I tried to be tough and just deal with it but it got to the point where I could never breathe through my nose and I had to get surgery to fix it or face permanent damage. So on the 2nd Coleman took me to the Idaho Falls surgical center at 6 am!! What  a trooper!! We took Paige to Grandma Ann's the night before so that we didn't have to take her with us that early. She loves hanging with Grandma and Grandpa.  So I had surgery at 715ish and we left around  11 am we finally left. It took me awhile to wake up from the anesthesia. I wasn't in too much pain but I was feeling a lot of pressure. Coleman was such a sweetie and took of a few days from work to take care of Paige and work from home. Luckily we had a lot of help with Paige from family and that helped a lot! I was feeling alright until Saturday after the surgery Paige hit me in the nose, HARD. It hurt so bad that I immediately had tears rolling down my face!!After that I was in a ton of pain!! Thankfully i had some good meds!! The doctor said that she didn't mess anything help, thank goodness. But he said that everything is healing well and I got back on Tuesday for another check up. I haven't had near the pain i thought i would from the surgery and I felt even better after I went to the doctors office.

It was super emotional for me after my post op check up and  I had the packing taken out.. I got in the truck with Coleman and I took a deep breath in and I just started crying!!! It was the greatest feeling in the whole world!!! I could breathe!!!! I hadn't felt that good in such a long time and even though I was still in a little pain I was so happy!! The surgery has already had a huge impact on my life and I am so glad we made the decision to get it!! Thank you Cole!! I love you!!

Happy Anniversary Cole!

On February 28 Cole and I had our 2 year anniversary. Over the weekend we left Paige with Grandma Kristie and Grandpa Paul and Cole and I went and had 90 min massages that were really amazing! After our massages we went to Applebees for dinner and it was delicious! We had such a fun weekend together and it was nice to spend some time alone. Even though I missed Paige like crazy! When we went to pick her up Paige was looking out the window and had the biggest smile on her face when she saw us walking up to the house! It was so good to see her!!

These have been the best two years of my life and I can't wait to spend many more with my wonderful husband!! I am so lucky to have  him in my life and I am so grateful for all that he does to give Paige and I such a wonderful life!! I love you Coleman!

My birthday and new projects.

So my birthday was wonderful mainly because I finally had Coleman home for his trip. Paige and I missed him so much!! He came home the night before my birthday at about 1130. It was so great because Zach, Nikky, Declan and Hailey all came up from Utah. We really missed Hilary. Our day was good though. I feel a little strange posting this picture but I think it's really funny. My birthday is always the same weekend as the super bowl. Coleman had to go to Albertsons and sittin on the table when he walked in the door were a bunch of bottles of Bud Light and roses in them. Quite hilarious for a birthday present since I turned 21!!! So He gave it to me and I just died! At first I thought was a creative gift and then I thought what the heck!!! He is so funny I just love him. I also went to lunch with my family and had dinner and ice cream cake with Cole's family. It was a great birthday!! Cole took Paige and me to Utah last weekend to get away and so I could do a little shopping for my birthday. To be honest I didn't really buy anything except for 2 shirts. I would much rather buy clothes for Paige ;) so I did. hehe. We had a great time hanging out with Taylor, Lyndsi and Maecie. They are the Best!! Overall it was a great birthday!

Brody's birthday

Brody's birthday was last week and I forgot to post the pictures from it. We all met at the Pizza Pie Cafe aka Craigo's and had some dinner and then went back to Ann and Lyndon's for some delicous chocolate cake that Sara made and some ice cream.For some random reason Brody decided that he liked getting his picture taken and he was very photogenic for the camera!  Grandpa had his Ipad out watching/reading a Toy Story book and Paige was IN LOVE! She was so excited and had lots of fun sitting on Grandpa's lap listening to the book. These pictures are really cute! Enjoy - oh and Happy Birthday to Brody.

so cute

Our girl is growing up

Lately Paige has seemed to be getting older.. I know it sounds strange but she changes so much from day to day still. I love being able to stay home with her and watch all the new things she is learning.

Paige loves her dad so much! When he comes home from work her face just lights up. She is such a daddy's girl when she is happy but a total mommy's girl when she is sad.

She points at everything.
She loves to clap for herself when she thinks she does something awesome (which she does a lot!)
She loves her books she will open them and turn the pages, she babbles a lot when she is playing with her books almost like she is reading a little story to herself.
She loves her bath time in the morning and she loves to splash in the water!
She likes to push around her little walker car thing she pushes it faster than her legs can move with it so she falls a lot.
Paige is so smiley almost all of the time which makes it even more fun to be home with her all day.
Her 2nd tooth is finally just about to break through so she will finally have another one!
She likes to crawl up the stairs. It makes her think she is a really big girl!
Paige eats almost anything except for green vegetables or mixed vegetables and she eats a lot of mom and dads food too.

I just can't believe our little girl is 10 months old!! Time goes by way too fast when you have a baby! We love you Paigebug!
