Paige is growing up too fast!

Here she is this week...

getting stuck, and being set free...

I went to the bathroom yesterday....and this is what I found when I returned...




He only crawls/scoots backwards as of now...so these things are bound to happen!

And, today we scored a ballet leotard for free...and Paige has been twirling and prancing all over the house. She is actually acting more mature and dignified with it on...maybe she won't want to take it off...? I love seeing how such a simple thing means so much to her. She is growing up so fast, it hurts my heart!

Sunny Days=New Dresses

...and wearing rain boots to water the garden (a.k.a. one strawberry plant and a dozen flowers) and taking breaks to push the baby stroller around the yard for good measure. We love sunny days!





AND, no...I did not make the "new" dress, TARGET $9.00 (a splurge for us, but a must-have for our big girl)....but I will be using this dress as a pattern for many new fabulous summer frocks for Miss P...man, I love TARGET!

Tunnels and Tee Pees

As a reward for waking up "dry" from her naps, Paige has requested to play with her Tee Pee and Tunnel that she got for Christmas....easy enough, so that is what we have been up to. For her, it is the COOLEST. I love how they are holding hands in the second picture.

Green Tennies just because..

She is 100% in "big girl" panties, and I am thrilled. Daddy just had to go away for a week to allow for a breakthrough. He was the enabler....
She liked these tennies from WalMart, and who doesn't need green tennies, right?!

Mr. Cutie Pie loves taking baths now, and will splash with reckless abandon. He and Paige do bath time together now which is a lot of fun...




Paige is getting her last molar, and it is taking it's sweet time on making an appearance.

River loves hanging with his sis; for him, there is nothing better!

He isn't crawling yet, but he's close. When he gets frustrated he just flops around like a swimmer doing the butterfly stroke. I really am in no rush for this milestone to be passed by...I like that he can't run away from me yet!

Have a great weekend everyone...Justin will be home tomorrow....he's been in Florida all week doing some training for parachute landings in the ocean. He got messed with pretty bad, so he is looking forward to a quiet weekend with his biggest fans.

Not Feeling Well

Get out the SPF 70

We had two days in the 70's this week, so of course we made the most of it....laying out(with SPF 70...we are reflective, we are so white!), pool time, picnics and Popsicles! Yesterday it snowed..... have I mentioned how much I dislike the weather up here...???

This was my shirt when I was little...I love seeing my kids wear it!

Mt. Si Relay and Ultra Run

Most of you already know, but Justin participated in a 50 mile ultra run on Sunday, and finished in 10 hours and 51 minutes. I still can't wrap my head around all this, but I am so proud (and confused) by his accomplishments. He informed me this morning that if his feet aren't fractured he is still going through with the 100 mile race he has planned for August. I am not supportive of this decision, just because I think it is too much for his body right now, but ultimately only broken feet will stop him. We did not come out to the race with him because it was 4 hours away, and the kids and I are sick, but here are some photos posted in the gallery from the race. He is an animal!

What kind of teenager are we going to have???

Hmmmmm.....came across this one again this morning. She really is something else...

Oh, and....

someone is sitting up now, alone...for like 10 minutes at a time! Congrats River!
