Paige's 1st Soccer Lessons
Thanks to a birthday/Christmas present from Ron & Dana, we were able to sign Paige up for Daddy & me Soccer lessons through the city. It has been a lot of fun for both of them. Mostly the two year olds run around, but there is structure and they are learning how to kick the ball and not use their hands. My mom made her a cute soccer outfit which she loves.
50's style photo shoot
A friend of mine is building her photography portfolio and she asked if I would be willing to model for her. Of course I did! I borrowed some 50's dresses from my best friend, Mikaila did my hair and we pulled out the old car. It was a lot of fun. Here is the photo book that I created with the pictures.

Visiting my Aunt Cheryl- April 2010
My Aunt Cheryl and cousin Alicyn have not been able to meet Paige yet. Work has been good for Justin, and Paige is getting better with traveling so we decided to finally take the 5 1/2 hour drive to Southern California to visit. We left around Lunchtime on Friday. We took Mikaila with us. While Paige did only sleep 45 minutes on the way down, she did very well. She just watched movies and played games. We got in around dinner time. Got settled in. Paige & Gaven had a great time playing together until it was well past bedtime for Paige. It took a while to get her to sleep, but she slept fairly well. She did wake up at 6AM anyways, but it was not a bad night.
Saturday, we went to lunch at Red Lobster. Chelsie drove up from San Diego to hang out with us. We went shopping at our favorite store, the T-Mart and then headed off to Charlie Brown Farms. This is where we bought our favorite pickles, and some great beef jerkey. I bought a coffee shake, and got Paige a sugar free strawberry shake which she loved.
She did not nap well that day either. We had a great dinner, including some Lobster tails. But I was late coming down for dinner because it took Paige a while to get to sleep. We had a great time laughing as a family, and went to bed a while later. Paige did wake up a few times, but I just rubbed her back for a minute and she was back asleep. Not much sleep for me though.
On Sunday, we headed out to LA and went to a farmers market. We had lunch and did some shopping. Chelsie headed home from there, and we drove back to Palmdale. We loaded up the car and headed home. Got in about 10:30 and went right to sleep. It was a fun, but exhasting trip.
The kids all had a great time playing with Justin, who explored the skateparks and streets of Palmdale. They also took a bath together, which was so cute. And we went "Swimming" in the hot tub.

Easter 2010
The day before Easter we were going down to Santa Cruz for our friends, Jerry & Kelly, son(Landon) 1st birthday party. It was at a Park, and while it was a little chilly, the rain held out and we had a great time. They had a bubble machine and we knew that we needed to get Paige one. She was mesmerized for a long time just catching the bubbles.
We then drove out to Watsonville and picked up Justin's Grandma. She came and spent the night and hung out with my family for Easter. We had a nice relaxing evening and enjoyed catching up with her. On Easter Sunday, we all got up early. Justin took his Grandma to Easter Mass at a local Catholic church. We then got dressed up and headed to our own service after they got back.
After church, we spent the afternoon with my family. My mom cooked ribs (At the request of Chelsie who was visiting from college), a brisket, sweet potato casserole, scalloped potatoes, fruit salad. It was great. As usual we had some great appetizers including spinach dip that was in the belly of a bunny rabbit.
It was a wonderful day, and we were sad to take Grandma home.

My new Haircut (March 2010)
I have been in desperate need of a haircut. Money has been tight so I can no longer spend $100+ every few months on my hair. A couple of ladies I work with went to this place near our work and got some great cuts. The place has a referral program. The person who gets referred gets half off and the person who refers them gets a free haircut. For $22 after tip, I thought I would give her a shot. And I decided to chop it off since it was starting to get hotter. I was very happy and it is so easy to take care off. Plus I then referred someone else, so my next haircut is free. Now I just need it colored. 
March 2010
March seemed to fly by so quickly, that I am not sure what happened during the month. Certainly not anything too life changing. Here are some pictures to keep you updated. We bought Paige a new helmet (Dora the explorer) and she has been learning how to ride her tricycle. But mostly we have to push her. And Justin had a photo shoot of his own (I will get around to posting mine soon enough). So those photos are below.
