Silly faces by Paige

Paige has discovered a couple new faces she can make. We catch her doing this face quite often. She sticks that bottmom lip out as far as it can go. She makes me laugh. I sure do love this girl so much!

Shealee's Pink cast!

On Monday Dec. 3rd Shealee got her PINK cast on. She was so cute, she kept saying, "My pink cast! My pink cast!" for some reason she was very excited to get it on. So far I have heard no complaints about having it on. Lets just keep our fingers crossed! Also when she was getting xrays she kept saying, "Cheeeeeese! Cheeeeese! Cheeeeese!" after she was done they gave her a chocolate kiss. When we went back in the exam room she kept asking if she could take more pictures. Who knew going to the doctor could be so fun for a little girl!

aww... how cute

She just might become a lefty after six weeks of having her right arm in a cast. She does pretty well with it!

We're still in AZ so she enjoys taking baths in Grandma's sink. Every morning she says, " I wanna take a bath, Put a bag on my arm!"

Shealee's broken arm

We've only been in AZ for a week and we already had to make a trip to the emergency room! Shealee was playing on an office chair and fell off. Myself and Grandpa took her in and after a couple xrays the doctor said she had a broken arm. Poor little girl, she was crying so much but as soon as they gave her some pain medication she was able to calm right down. Right after she got her splint on and before we left the ER she was so cute when she said, "Mommy, I'm so happy now." I love this girl so much!

Hair cut time!

Rummikub

Grandma and Grandpa Hoopes teaching their grandchildren while they are young. This game has always been a family favorite.

Cousins

Shealee and her cousin Kaitlyn. They had so much fun "helping" Melissa make some of the thanksgiving pies.

Paige and her cousin Kennedy. Everyone says they are look-a-likes. The are both such sweet little girls!

Shealee and her cousin, Samantha Arnow. They had so much fun playing at Thanksgiving!

Shealee and her cousin Josh. They got to spend a lot of time together. They had fun playing with their rubber catterpillars and frogs.

Off to AZ for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Off to AZ we go! We decided to take the train this time so we wouldn't have to bug anyone to take us to the airport. Brandon dropped us off at the train station in the car. While we waited there with the luggage he drove home, ran back to meet us and we got on the train. We also had an hour and a half layover in Nashville. I swear, that was the longest trip to AZ ever, but we made it! The girls did pretty good. Shealee was entertained by Dora the Explorer and Paige slept a lot of the way. This was Paige's very first ride on an airplane. I was quite impressed she did so well!

Happy Halloween!

Our little Zebra. Isn't she so cute!

When I saw this Pea in a pod costume I just had to get it for Paige! She is such a little sweet pea!

How do you like the blue look? Shealee thought it was so funny when she tried this wig on.

Okay this is what we were for Halloween. As you can tell we are both wearing blue and our names are "Jean" and "Gene" so we are a pair of "BLUE JEANS" get it... Ha ha ha!

Maid of the Mist ride

For Shealee's birthday this year we had a costume party since it is so close to Halloween. It was so cute to see all the kids dressed up! She was the cutest little ladybug. It is so cute, she loves chocolate so much. After she blew out her candles she said, "I need chocolate!" So that's what she got, a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting. As you can tell, she really enjoyed it!

Thanks great grandma and great grandpa Kight!

Great Grandma Kight spent a lot of time making Paige's beautiful blessing dress and the white blanket. Thanks grandma! She looked like a doll in it! Great Grandpa Kight made the silver and turquoise bracelet. It looked so cute on her little arm! We love the both of you so much!

NASH IS THE MAN!!!

Paige's blessing day!

Paige Elizabeth was blessed on Oct.14, 2007 in Cleveland Ohio by her daddy. It was such a good blessing and she didn't cry at all! Our little Paigy is such a special little girl. We are so glad she has been sent to our family. We love her so much!
