Paige is growing more and more each day. She is still such an angel and a joy to have around, not to mention she is SO cute! She loves to be outside just like her sister and brother, and she seems to really like the water as well. It is too soon to tell but I am certainly hoping that she gets my skin color and not Dave's because we love swimming!

I had the opportunity to visit my old stomping grounds in Colorado Springs, CO for the weekend. I brought Addyson and Paige for a girls weekend and left Ethan at home w/ his dad. I haven't been back to my old home town for almost 10 years and it is just not the same but it was fun to see. We drove around in the beautiful mountains and visited The Garden of the Gods where we had a picnic and did some hiking. I do miss the mountains!!

Fun with cousins! While in Nashville we went to the Nashville Zoo and enjoyed the great outdoors that Tennesse has to offer. I think the best part for the kids was being pushed on the tire swing by uncle Ken. I am still amazed that none of them got sick!

On July 29th Ken and Carrie blessed their newest girl, Kensey Mae. The kids and I flew out to Nashville for the week to hang out with them and be there for the blessing. My mom, brother and sister-in-law, and nephew drove out for a few days and Dave flew out for the weekend. I love hanging out with my family laughing, playing games, and just talking about old times! Kensey is very blessed to join such a great family!

Paige's baby blessing

We blessed Paige on July 1st. Ken, Carrie, and their girls drove down from Nashville and Dave's mom and Dad flew in from Calgary as well. We also had an old High School friend drive up with his wife and kids from W. Texas. Needless to say with all of our family that live Texas and the ones that traveled here, we had loads of fun! Dave did a great job blessing Paige and she looked beautiful!

Summer has begun

Summer has officially begun.  The kids took swim lessons and now they are set to go swimming as much as they possibly can!  They love to swim!  We are lucky enough to have a great community beach club pool with sand and a splash pad.  We will enjoy many hot days swimming.

Camping

We went on our annual camping trip with friends to Lake Ray Roberts.  We braved the outdoors with a newborn and we were so glad that we did. The kids had a blast catching bugs, eating marshmallows, swimming in the lake and sleeping out in the great outdoors.    

Dave has a Birthday

Dave turned 31 on June 7th.  We had a simple birthday celebration at home with the kids and my mom.  The kids helped decorate his cake and wrap his presents.  

Ethan turns 3

Ethan turned 3 on May 14th. We were finally able to celebrate with his friends and family a couple of weeks later at Chuck-E-Cheese. He had a spiderman party and got a whole bunch of new spiderman toys that he is so excited about.

Addyson graduates

Addyson graduated from preschool and is off to Kindergarten next year. She is sad to leave her teachers and her friends that she went to preschool with but is so excited for all of the fun stuff that she will be able to do in Kindergarten. We can't believe that she is so big!

Soccer Diva

Addyson finished her first season of soccer recently. She loved it! I don't know if she really cared for the sport of soccer, she mostly loved the teammates, and her cute coach. She was afraid to kick the ball most of the time and she spent most of the time on the field dancing, but she was a joy to watch.

New sister

Addyson and Ethan are so excited to have a baby sister. Ethan's first words when he saw Paige was "I am so happy!" They love to hold her and watch her while she sleeps. Their favorite thing to do is to see who can get her to open her eyes!

Paige Alexa Lee

We have added another kid to our clan! On April 29th Paige Alexa Lee was born at 6:44 in the morning. We were so excited to finally meet her. She is such an angel, an answer to her mother's prayers. She is such a happy, mellow baby who sleeps a lot!
