Fort Frankfort
One Sunday after church we headed to Fort Frankfort for a picnic and some park fun! I love this park and so do the kids! It was made by all volunteers in just 7 days back in 1999.

July 2, 2013
On Paige's birthday she woke up to a lot of balloons! They were on the floor, but Luke quickly put them all in her crib which she thought was hilarious!
Paige was then served her most favorite breakfast ever - cake with a side of fruit!
Luke wasn't too sure about having cake for breakfast though - my little rule follower!
Unfortunately Daddy had his high school golf league that morning and a baseball game in the afternoon, but the three of us headed to the children's museum in Frankfort!
We dressed up as firefighters!
Dug for fossils!
Played piano!
And played dress up!
I then treated the kids to McDonald's for lunch but the best part about that was we went to a McDonald's with a play area - it's the little things that excite them!
We came home where Paige took a long afternoon nap!
Then we were off to Build-a-Bear! We have never done this before so Luke was very excited. Daddy was able to meet us there after his baseball game!
We ended the day with dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, followed by cake and presents at home!
It was the perfect day of spoiling and fun for both kids!

Our Golden Girl
Last year, we had family pictures taken around Paige's 1st birthday. I decided to start a tradition then of taking a picture of her with as many balloons as she is years old. Unfortunately my bank account doesn't allow me to have professional pictures of the kids taken as often as I would love so I grabbed my camera and Paige and did my best!
This is her initial go to spot to have her picture taken outside. Personally, I am not a fan of the rusted white gate in the background but the subject is cute :)
She was into posing for me for about 1 minute...
And then I settled for her running at me :)
Then she grabbed her wand for a couple more pics!
Paige ran behind her house and came back with only one balloon!
And then that balloon went sailing into the air and that was the end of that!
Taking the time to stop and smell our overgrown daylilies!
What a difference a year makes!

Happy Golden Birthday Paige!
Miss Paige you are 2 years old today, which means it is also your golden birthday!
It's hard to believe you are already 2! You have brought so much joy and love and let's not forget the drama into our home.
You are as sweet as pie and full of hugs and kisses. You will be playing by yourself and will just out of the blue drop everything and come and plop yourself into our laps for a snuggle. You still let us rock you at naptime and at night, which is my favorite! You often fall asleep in my arms in the glider at naptime, but at night you usually only last for a book or two, a couple of songs, and then you point to your bed. I suppose you are getting a little big making it a bit uncomfortable, but I am going to keep doing it until you refuse :)
You have a very typical brother/sister relationship with Luke. You love him and play with him until you annoy him enough and he does the same to you. It really is the best to see you two play together though. It really is not the best to tell you two to quit touching each other or to leave each other alone. There are many more years of that ahead of us though! He is a great big brother to you and tries to teach you all kinds of things (good and bad). You listen to him more than you listen to us at times. You have finally started saying his name! You have always had your own way of saying his name that we never quite understood, but we got a loud and clear "Uke" from you about a week ago. Now you are saying it all of the time. You were looking for him at the park the other day and were yelling "Uuuuukkkkkeee" so loudly! The best part of you saying his name though is the emphasis on the "k" at the end (just like walk, park, milk)!
You are one smart little girl, but I do believe you are much smarter than we even know because you haven't shared that sweet little voice of yours with us too much. Within the last couple of months we have seen your vocabulary start to expand and I have a feeling in just a few months you will be chatting up a storm. Don't get me wrong though, you know how to get across what you want! And if you don't get what you want, we will all know about it!
You love music and along with that you love to sing and dance. Every time we are in the car you request "Bop" (a Kid's Bop CD Grammy got you for Easter). It is getting a little old to Luke and me, but you love it. We watch lots of kid's music videos On Demand at home because you are constantly requesting to dance. I see dance classes in your future for sure :)
You are shy at first and can be easily overwhelmed, even at your own home as we found out at your birthday party this past weekend. However, you come out of it after not too long and go on being your crazy, silly self.
You are fearless and tough! We have always known this, but it became even more evident this summer in the pool. You will climb as high as you need to go to get something and "just go for it" when you come across something new. You were going down big waterslides with Daddy the other weekend at the waterpark! The fearlessness in you is exciting and terrifying to me!
We love you so much Paigey Boo! We can't wait to see what the next year brings!
Happy Golden Birthday Baby Girl!
