Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Whitney, Rusty, Avey and Ashley drove up for a few days so they could go to the temple with Cody. Cole stayed home and took care of Reed and Paige. Ashley tagged along with us so she could take care of Avey.

We had an AWESOME day. Cody was grinning from ear to ear the whole day. He is such a sweet kid! I will miss him so much while he's gone but I wouldn't want him doing anything else. He will make a great missionary!!

Grandpa and Avey

WOW! I can't believe you're a Grandpa honey!

Yes I know that makes me a GRANDMA!!!! Yikes

Sweet Baby Avey

Avey and I were having breakfast one morning, boy would I like to wake up to this face EVERY morning!!

FUN RUN

The school that Reed and Paige attend held it's annual fund raiser Fun Run. The kids did great and had a ball. Reed loves seeing Paige at school and will seek her out when he can to give her a hug.

Paige showing me her great running form! She did a whole mile!!

Reed checking out those muscles!

Paige in awe of her big brother!

I sure love my two little surprise babies!!!

The Best Big Brothers in the Whole World!

I was painting Paige's room one day when Cody and Cole came home. Paige was dressed up and dancing in her room since all the furniture was out.

As usual, when these big boys come home they immediately go to where Paige is so they can hug and kiss her. It's the sweetest thing ever. They absolutely adore her. I grabbed my camera so I could snap a few pics.

I chose a few of the pics and blew them up in black and white and put them in Paige's newly decorated room. Cody leaves for his mission in 2 weeks! (sob, sob) and Cole will be off to college in less than a year. Paige will be lost without them!

I want her to always remember how much her big brothers love and adore her!!

And the feeling is very mutual!!!

When did my baby get so big!

New Room for Paige

Above her bed it says: Some people dream of ANGELS, I hold one in my arms.

Too bad you cant see the words above her bed, it's so darling!!! Thanks Marnae! I love this room! I've been dreaming the room up in my head since the beginning of summer when I bought this headboard and footboard at a garage sale. They were an ugly brown. Not sure if you can tell that the walls behind the bed and where the big window is are actually striped. I painted the wall a satin pink and then painted stripes with the same color but in high gloss, very subtle stripes and so cute!! I found all the green furniture at a little 2nd hand store in town and I made the lamp shades. I usually worked on the room when paige was asleep so when she woke up in the morning there was always something new. The morning when she woke up and saw the lamp shades I could hear her say, "OOOH BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU MOMMY!" She loves her new room and that makes me SO HAPPY!
