Paige is now big enough and sits up well enough to go in the kid swings. We took her to the park yesterday (And today). She loved it. I have attached a video below.

She has thrush again and the hives are really bad. The hives started coming when she ate bananas so we had to cut them out and can't introduce another item until the hives are gone. So for now she is stuck with carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans and cereal. She does not seem to like peas.

Bath fun.

Thought I would post this video. She loves being squirted in the face with things.

This is it. She walked accross the stage yesterday, shook Mr. Cordi's hand and received her High School Diploma. My little Chelsie in the box is done with High school. And she is on to see what else God has for her life at Bethany College (All right- she doesn't actually leave until August- but she is so busy this summer it feels as if she is leaving next week). Luckily the baby distracted me enough or I might have shed a few tears. I still can't believe the little girl that used to beat me up and I would lock out of my room- has grown up and is now my best friend. And sisters are the best friends because they are family. And family always loves you- No matter what. Here are some pictures.

Many of Chelsie's friends (A group of people that always took me by surprise with the choices they made as friends. Instead of getting wasted together, they supported each other and always had some fun event planned.)

Justin's New Nose

All right, so it is not that much different on the outside (A little straighter) but inside it should be very new. The doctor said it was tough because his septum was the worst he has seen (in 6 years) but once he fixed the deviation the nose straightened out enough that he did not have to do more surgery. This means less recovery time, swelling, bruising, etc. He is doing good. Just in a little pain still and groggy from everything. But he should be able to breathe better and it will hopefully fix his snoring problem.

Froggy pool on hot day

It was in the 90's yesterday so I headed off to Wal-Mart and look what I found. A frog pool to go with my baby. She was not too happy when I put her in at first because it was cold. I added some hot water to warm it up a litle and she loved it. We played as a family for a while and it kept us all cool.





Jerry & Kelly's Wedding

Our friends Jerry & Kelly were married in Santa Cruz last Saturday. The wedding was beautiful. Unfortunetely, since I was unable to find a babysitter for Paige, she made it hard to enjoy the night. Justin was in the wedding and the place was beautiful. Being alone made it a little harder to do anything. I had to leave the ceremony because Paige decided that was a good time to talk to everyone. Below are the only pictures I took (apparently there is no record of me).

Paige's First RED SOX game

If you were to ask Justin to title this blog, it might not be the same. He might name it "Paige's First A's Game" or "Paige's First Baseball game". Regardless of what we want to call it, we got dressed up in our favorite teams gear, hopped on the BART and went to a game. The weather was nice. I needed a sweatshirt, but it was nice.

We got a lot of attention on BART. Partly because of how cute Paige is. But also because I was in Red Sox gear and Justin was in A's gear. If you don't know already, Justin & I tend to always root for the opposing teams. He says it is just because I am always a Boston fan and he doesn't like Boston. I think he just likes the rivalry. And I am OK with that because I kind of like it too. Paige was cute in her Red Sox Onsie (Thanks to cousin Lyndsi!).

Paige did great during the game. Mostly she chewed on the ties from my sweatshirt. She didn't even seem to notice when people yelled, and she took her "complimentary 30 minute nap" as my mom calls it. We left halfway through the 8th inning when she was starting to get a little bored, made it back on BART before the masses and headed home. Overall, it was a good day at the Ball Park (Even if the SOX did not win)





My mom's mom's visit

My mom's mother came out just afte mothers day. She was able to be a par of taking Paige's 6 month pictures (So exciting) so that was great. She was only here a short time so I can't wait to see her again in July. Here are some pictures from the last night.
