Family Fun at the Farm

I am about a week late in posting.  My comprehensive exams for graduate school are in less than 3 weeks, so my nights consist of studying and more studying.  Why did I go back to school again?

Anyways, Last weekend we had a mini family reunion at our land in Lyons, Texas.  We all meet out there around noon and just spent the day relaxing and visiting.  Lee caught tons of fish and almost lost his fishing pole.  He tried to get Paige to fish but she is just not that interested.  She played with all of her cousins.  They  just ate her up.  It was a wonderful day!

Paige and the Pumpkin Patch

Tonight after I picked Paige up from daycare, we met daddy at the pumpkin patch near our house to pick out our Halloween pumpkins.  We decided on two.  One for mommy and daddy to carve and one for Paige.  Paige was in awe of all the pumpkins and really fascinated by all the people there.    We tried to get Paige to pick out her little bitty pumpkin, however, she was more amazed with the grass.  We had a great time and it was fun to see expressions at the patch. Another great memory, I can not wait until Halloween!

Scarecrow Festival!

All week we have talked about it.  When Sunday finally came, we all knew where we were headed.....the scarecrow festival.  Lee and I really wanted to do something fun with Paige and this seemed like just the thing.  There was shopping, a train ride, great fair food, a petting zoo and more.  We had a really great day overall.  It was much hotter than anticipated and Paige got a bit restless towards then end, and then we took her to the petting zoo and all was well again.  She loves animals, all animals.  She was a little hesitant of any of the animals bigger than Bandit, our bulldog.  It is awesome to be able to take her places and for her to actually participate and have fun.  My little baby is getting so big!

MEGAN AND PAIGE READING
PAIGE TRYING TO BE BIG
SILLY GOOSE!
HEY MEG, I WANT TO READ....
Last weekend we headed to Katy on Friday night.  Lee needed to help Steven and Katie move and I was to watch Paige and my niece.  They are at such a fun age.  Megan is almost two and Paige is ten months.  They actually play together now.  They are so funny to watch, it is just so awesome.  We spent the entire weekend in Katy which is a first for us.  We are usually rushing back so Lee can cover a shift or catch up on work.  This weekend we just relaxed.  We napped, we played, and visited with family.  It was a lot of fun. It is interesting how fun changes once you have children.  It is then that the simplest things bring the most joy.

Paige slept past 7 all weekend!  Whoop!

6 is the new 7!

Ok... So Paige has slept from 7-7 since she was Two and a half months old. Last week we started staying up a bit later and getting up at 6. She is ready to rock and roll at six. I thought at first she would just go back to sleep, then I start to hear banging. She starts throwing her pacifiers against the wall, I am not sure why she does this. Maybe to get our attention? All week has been 6, I am starting to think it is no longer a phase and more like her routine now.

Sidenote, Lee and I have lost our ditigital camera! I took pics on it Tuesday night to post and now its gone, so here are some silly old Paige pics. Enjoy!
