CHICAGOOO!

For Clay's 30th birthday I surprised him with a trip to Chicago...three days in the windy city, complete with a baseball game at Wrigley...top that Tarro! We had the best time, the weather was great, GG and Uncle Dave were the perfect hosts! We went to a Cubs game, played at GG's house, saw both of Dave's new offices and visited Cantigny. We can't wait to go back to the windy city!!


Oh, and by the way, me and Paige are famous!

Back to School!

Well, not for me! I always get very sad, actually irritated at this time of year that I don't get to go back to college!! I love my life and am very blessed to lead the life that I do, but at the same time I really miss my college life, my friends, the free time, everything!! Paige has definitely brought new meaning to my life and I am so lucky to have a happy, healthy, beautiful baby girl! I also have a really great group of friends now and I don't know how I would have survived the first year of Paige's life without them. I love you all!

Paige has been crawling for the past couple of months and is almost walking, she cruises along on everything, stands on her own and will walk with my hands...it's so cute! We are getting excited for her first birthday...I cannot believe that we have almost made it to one year....what a milestone!

Summer 2009

We've had such a fun and busy summer so far, here are some pics from Seattle, Red River and Steamboat and we still have a couple of trips to round out the summer before the fall! Hopefully there will be a TTU game or two in our future to get excited about!! So, a little update on Paige: she is crawling, she is cruising, she is climbing, she is into everything! She has also developed quite the personality...she will definitely let me know if she is unhappy about something or if she doesn't want to go somewhere, or if she just thinks that I am being unreasonable. Paige is a very happy baby, loves to be outside, around her friends and around her cousins...she's very social! We have been very blessed to have a happy, healthy little girl!
