Splish Splash I was taking a bath!

I know that I have already posted an entry today, but Paige took her very first bath by her self today and I had to share it.  She usually takes a shower but since she can sit up all on her own I decided she could try a bath.  She LOVED it!  

Plus I can’t help showing the world how cute my baby is.

Happy Leap Year?

My father in law is a Judge, so he can marry couples.  I guess the other day he got a call from a couple that had been married, divorced and living together again.  They called and asked him if he could marry them AGAIN. They wanted to be married today, on leap year, so they only had to celebrate their anniversary once ever four years.  I though it was too funny. 

So here you go to all of you leap year couples…happy anniversary.  Or any of you leap year babies…happy birthday. 

Here are a few pictures of my adorable little munchkins!   I just love being an Aunt!

I know she looks sweet here but….don’t be deceived.  I am just kidding, she is really sweet.  She is just trouble sometimes!

Colten’s First Pictures

The other day my good friend Chet called me and asked me if I would help him take some newborn pictures.  I have not taken any newborn pictures since Paige was born so I was really excited.  This little boy was so sweet.  He was such a good baby, he slept through the whole session!

Random Shot: Paige

I love snagging cute shots like this of Paige.  She has started to eat baby food and she isn’t quite sure about it!  I am sure as soon as she realizes she can get full from it she will hoover it.  You don’t those chubby cheeks for nothing.  Paige will be 6 months old tomorrow…so check back for her 6 month portraits I am taking tomorrow!

Florida: The Finale

Ok… I know I suppose to update this yesterday but I was tired from unpacking!  So on Sunday we first went to Jordan’s game.  They played really well, but in the end lost.  Since they lost their first game of the day they were eliminated from the tournament, so we headed up to Orlando.  We picked up Amy’s friend Paula (who is totally funny and cool) and headed to our hotel The Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Studios.  It was awesome!  If you ever get a chance to stay there, do it!!!

Jordan was pitching on Sunday.

On Monday morning we headed to Universal Studios Florida first.  There isn’t a ton to do there but it was still fun.  My cousin Bryce works there as a performer for the new attraction Disaster.  It was fun to see him!

After we finished at Universal Studios we headed to Islands of Adventure.  It was a BLAST!  It is such a great amusment park!  We took a ton of pictures in the Marvel Comic Land for J.R. and Christian.  They love spidey!

Hanging out at Suess Landing with Paige.  The only ride she got to go on in the entire park was the Caro-Suess-el.  She had so much fun!  When we took the picture with the Suess characters Paige was amazed!  She kept trying to eat the yellow ones fingers!

Some fun shots around the park.  That is us on Dudley Do-Right’s Rip Saw Falls.  I think it is my favorite ride there!  Paige loved the tiger Alex won her at a carnival game.  She was pretty pooped by the end of the day!

We had so much fun in Florida.  The Beller’s are one of the best families I know!  We had a blast and we can’t wait to visit them again!  We hate being back in the cold!

Florida Day 4: Paige’s Day at the Beach

*I started to blog this entry last night and I fell asleep right in front of the computer!  Funny huh?

Yesterday was great!  Everyone that knows me knows I love the beach.  It is my favorite place to be in the whole world.  It was so exciting to watch Paige’s face as she felt sand between her toes for the first time.  She was fascinated by the crashing waves and the seagulls.  It was so fun! 

 This is my favorite picture from the beach.  We just put her feet in the sand.

Paige at the beach

Isn’t the one of Paige and Alex sweet.  I told you she loves looking at the waves.  And I never get sick of taking pictures of her feet.  hey are so cue and chubby!

florida-day-4-collage2.jpg

I almost didn’t include these because I hate the way I look in pictures, but Paige looked so darn cute in them I had to!  these are taken with our Canon point and shoot which ROCKS!  Paige is crying in the bottom left one because a wave just hit us and it scared her.

 After we went tp the beach we headed to Jordan’s game.  Man that kid can play!  I am telling you, one day everyone will know the name Jordan Beller.  Here is Paige hanging out with one of the Beller’s friends Sheri.  Paige just loves her!

florida-day-4-collage4.jpg

Paige and Alex watching the game.  The reason why she is only wearing a robe is because somewhere between the beach and the car we lost Paige’s swimming suit.  I am so mad because it was so cute and she only got to wear it once!  Dang it! 

florida-day-4-193.jpg

Paige loves the Beller’s dog Dottie!  Dottie makes her laugh out loud!  It is so cute!  Dottie is such a beautiful Dalmatian.  One of her eyes is half blue.

Jordan playing ball again 

florida-day-4-collage6.jpg

Jordan has another game today at noon.  If he loses the game we are heading up to Orlando.  If he wins today he will have another game tonight.  As soon as he is done with all of his games we are heading up to Orlando to spend tomorrow at Universal Studios!  I am so excited not only to go on the crazy rides, but also to see my cousin Bryce Ward.  He works at Universal as a performer.  Every time I come to Orlando he is never working but I guess 4th time is a charm because he is working tomorrow!  SO EXCITED!

Florida Day 3: Jordan Plays Ball and Paige Goes Swimming

I was way to tired to post this last night so there will probably be 2 posts today.  Yesterday was such a fun and relaxing day.  We decided to go see a matinee of the movie Definitely, Maybe.  It was so cute.  Total chick flick, and right up my alley! 

After the movie was over we wanted to take Paige swimming.  We went to the clubhouse in the Beller’s gated community because the pools are suppose to be heated…the were not!  Despite that fact, Paige loved it!  I would have pictures to show you but we forgot the camera!  So we had to do some video.  She is a water baby just like me!  We will go swimming today so I can take some pictures to post! 

Jordan had a game later that night that we went to watch.  Jordan’s team lost (by 10 runs) but Jordan played well.  He got a great hit right through the gap between 1st and 2nd.  He is a ball player!  Paige loves going to the game.  She is a good baby!!!  The game only lasted 4 innings because of the 10 run rule so we didn’t get many pictures.  Jordan only got to bat once!  He has games today so hopefully they will do better!

Thhis is the only picture I took before Alex stole my camera.  The kid has a great swing!
