2011 Begins!!!

Wow - 2011!!!! The year started off just as busy as every other year....will that ever change???
Paige has been playing piano for a couple of years now and I love it!! I love hearing her play. Honestly, I'm a little jealous!! Yes mom, you were right...I do regret quitting piano!!! Paige always does a wonderful job and plays so beautifully! This time was no exception!Our very first snow of the year was on Sunday January 9th!!! I went to church around 11:00 that morning for a meeting and it was just misting...by the time I was out at 12:15 it was a winter wonderland outside!!! The boys had spent the night with Davey and took it slow on their way home, so they missed making it to church. Church let out early and when we got home we found Davey shoveling the driveway....what a guy!!! And in shorts no less!!!Davey and the boys were having way too much fun!!!!We got home from church and just couldn't help it!!!! We all wanted to play!!!
We had so much snow, school was cancelled the next day. Paige invited her good friend "Paige" over and they had a great time building a snowman...drinking hot chocolate...and for some reason, they thought it would be a good idea to see who could hold their face in the snow the longest!!!
Happy Birthday Paige!!!!
We also celebrated Paige's birthday on the 13th!!!!!!
Paige was sure to remind me that she would be very sad if she woke up and the house wasn't decorated in streamers!!!! So not only did I decorate in streamers but went to the grocery store at 6:00 am to get her bacon!!!! (her birthday breakfast request!)That night she chose Olive Garden for dinner!!!We even had the waiters sing to her!!!And for dessert......a cookie cake!!!Make a wish!!!And BLOW!!!We love you Paige!!!! I can't believe you are 12!!! You are such a beautiful, talented, and wonderful young lady!!!Paige's birthday pretty much went on for the whole weekend!!!! We celebrated at home on her real birthday and with friends over the weekend. Paige decided she wanted to go bowling and then head off to grandma and grandpa's house for hot tubing and a sleep over. The girls had a great time bowling!!And the hot tub felt oh so good!!!Paige had a special request for banana splits!! yum yum!!Paige was a little uncertain about her grandpa after he started her hair on fire with the lighter!!! Really he was just pretending....yeah right??? :) That's why her hair lit up like the fourth of July!!! Good thing grandpa has quick hands :)Actually - when all was said and done...it was pretty funny!!!!
Paige had a great night opening her presents, watching movies, and being with the people she loved the most!!!
BYU Basketball
Every year my cousin comes to town with the BYU womens basketball team. This year once again we were very excited to see her. She always gets us tickets right on the floor. We feel so important!!! :) It's always good to see Alli!!! She is my very best friend and has been that since I was very little!!! I love ya!
Church Ball
The youth of our church play in a basketball tournament every year. Since Paige is now 12 she gets to play. Let's just say she wasn't SUPER excited about it!!! But she was such a great sport and did a great job!!! She was all time defensive player...she picked the biggest girl to guard and played defense even when her team was on offense...hahahaha...it was so funny - she made me laugh so hard...It was fun watching Jordan and Paige play together....Jordan also recruited one of her friends, Miranda!!! What a great sport!! Jordan and Miranda were awesome!!! They looked like they were pro's out there!!Win or lose the girls always have a great time!!! We have such an amazing group of kids. They have fun whatever they do and they all love and support each other!!!
