PICTURES!!!!

Finally!!! Yay!! So excited!! I am really happy with how they turned out, and we even got a DVD with her pictures on that is set to music and files through all the pictures. How cute. I went to Walmart this afternoon and got them printed out for family and friends, which was more expensive than I thought it was going to be, but at least we didn't spend almost $200 like we did last year on them! Here are a couple of my favorites, enjoy!!

tomorrow!

I am going to pick Paige's pictures up tomorrow morning! Yay! The wait is finally over. When I get them tomorrow I will for sure post some on here for you to see. I hope they turned out cute!

Had a fun weekend. It was awesome getting to hang out with Liss and Grange, we had a really fun time. Barkers food was awesome, the 45 minute wait for a table, not so much. :) It really didn't seem all that long but I got super hungry while we were standing there. Oh well, it was worth the wait, and actually once we got seated our food came in like 15 mintues so that was nice. Liss and I got my Pampered Chef party closed and the stuff ordered and it will hopefully be here by the end of the week. Excited to get all my fun new gadgets!

Paige is talking up a storm these days. Not that she wasn't before, but now you can actually understand a lot of what she says and she is putting 2 and 3 words together! My baby is growing up so fast... soon it will be kindergarten... then proms, graduation, marriage, grandkids.... oh gosh, guess I shouldn't get ahead of myself and just cherish everyday with her now while she is still little!! :)

Anyway, she is jumping up and down in her bed right now so I suppose I should go stop her and see if she will go to sleep. I will for sure post those new pics of her tomorrow morning right after I get them!!! Night!

No pictures yet..

STILL haven't seen Paige's pictures... gettin a little upset!!!

Not much going on with us right now. Getting super excited for the weekend to hang out with Grange and Liss. Grange is for sure a yes now, so thats exciting too! We are planning on going to eat at Barkers in Hudson for dinner where I will get to try my first Great White Hope sandwich. Liss and Grange always rave about this sandwich so I decided I must try it. Grange also informed me that there is karoke at Mainstreeters bar that night, so we can go sing our hearts out! Woohoo!!!

Otherwise.... thats about it!!! Started working out again now.. so hopefully I can get these last 30 lbs off that I need to lose, hopefully it doesn't take too long!

2 year pictures

We had Paiges 2 yr pictures taken on Saturday... what an adventure. We went to Kelly B. Photography. Kelly is the wife of a guy I work with. She has a full time job with Hormel and just does photography on the side. Paige being the 2 year old that she is didn't want to sit still. Why did I think this was going to be easy? We were there for 2 hours and I chased Paige around pretty much the whole time trying to get her in front of the camera to at least get a couple good shots. 3 or 4 nice pictures is all I could ask for and Kelly said she thinks she got about 6 or 8 "really good ones". I hope she's right, because I sure don't want to go back and try again! It's exhausting trying to chase Paige around like that!!!! She had some blocks there that Paige was playing with so I think she got a few good ones then. We will see. She was supposed to edit a couple and send me them over email to see what I thought, but I haven't seen them yet. Hopefully tomorrow. She said it should take about a week to get them all edited and get the CD to me, so I am really hoping it doesn't take any longer than that! I am really anxious to see these pics!! When I get them I will for sure post a couple on here for you all to see!

Otherwise... going to Prescott/River Falls this weekend. Rocky is playing basketball with his buddies and I will be going to dinner and out to DTRF with Alissa to celebrate our birthdays. Liss' big day is next month, but since she HOPEFULLY won't be able to drink by then we just decided to celebrate when I come up this weekend. Should be a good time! Hopefully Granger can come out and celebrate with us also, but she wasn't sure yet as she had some tentitive plans for the weekend that she wasn't sure were going to pan out. I am excited to see my girls again!

Great weekend

It was a great weekend! Paige's birthday party was Saturday and everything went off without a hitch. It was really awesome that my parents and sisters were able to come for the weekend. Actually, Lindsey, Megan, Geoff, Chris, Ava and Granger surprised me and showed up on Friday night! That was awesome, and I was quite surprised to say the least to see them knocking on my door! They helped me clean since that was going to be done on Friday night, so that was nice too so I didn't have to do so much! Mom and Dad came on Saturday morning. The Dora cake Mom made turned out super cute, and Paige loved it!
Well... my birthday was yesterday. I am 27 now. Sad, but it seems so old. I am not to the point yet where I just tell eveyone I am 29 yet... but that isn't more than a few years off! :) Rocky took Paige and I out to Applebees for supper for both of our birthdays. It was so super cute because we told the waitress we were there celebrating Paige's birthday so they came out and sang to her and brought her a little tiny sundae. She LOVED it when they came and sang to her though. She was clapping right along with them and giggling the whole time. Then she clapped for them at the end. She is such a sweetheart. :)
Well, have a good week, I will try to write more soon!

Happy Birthday Paige!

Today is Paige's 2nd birthday!!! How exciting, and kinda sad all at once. I can't believe my baby is 2!!!! We aren't really doing anything special for her today, her party is this Saturday. Hopefully our house won't be too cramped! (Who am I kidding??) We are expecting about 13 people, plus us would be 16. Thats a lot for our tiny place! Oh well, I am sure it will be fun. I am making pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, chinese coleslaw and salsa and velveta dip. My Mom is making her a Dora cake, I am sure that will turn out awesome, my Mom is really talented when it comes to cake decorating. I wish I had inherited that creative gene!! :)
My family is staying for the weekend at our house and I am super excited! Rockys family will be there, but they will be going home that evening since they live closer. I hope the weather cooperates so everyone can get up here and back home safely.

We gave Paige one of her gifts from us yesterday. She kept messing with our computer and we got her a little kid lap top for her so we decided to give it to her yesterday so she wouldn't keep messing with ours. She really liked it and it's very educational. There are a couple of letter games on there so she can work on her alphabet.
