BYU Football

Watching the BYU football game each week is a family activity. We love it! We love rooting for our Cougars and spending time together as a family. Here is Paiz watching her 1st game of many.

9 months

Paizley is now 9 months old! I can't believe it! Time sure flies when you're having fun. She just had her 9 month check up and she looks as healthy as can be.

Weight: 18 lbs 7 ounces- 40%

Length: 26.5 inches- 20 %

Head- 77%

We thought it would be a good idea for her to get a flu shot and she only cried for a few seconds. That's our brave, tough girl alright. The doctor said she's developing well and actually quite advanced developmentally. I just smiled as I looked at our little girl. She's the best and we're so glad she's healthy and developing so well.

Labor Day- "Onion Days"

Labor Day brings so much fun and excitement to Payson because it's the famous Onion Days Celebration. Not only is it a paid holiday for Craig, it's a whole weekend full of activities and time with family. It started Saturday at the park watching Craig's little sister dance. Then we were checking out the carnaval so we could take Paiz on her first Merry-Go-Round ride. However, no Merry-Go-Round was to be found. What kind of carnaval doesn't have a Merry-Go-Round? So sad. Maybe next year. We scoped out the booths and just had a great time together at the park. Monday started off very early with my first 5k race. I ran it with my sister-in-law Annette. I was nervous cause I was feeling under the weather, but I did it! Our goal was to finish under 27 minutes and we finished in 26! I actually took third place in my age group...kind of lame, but hey I was proud of myself. Then we watched the parade...kind of boring but atleast we can say we went to a parade this year! Then we had dinner at my Grannie's and then at Craig's Grandmas. To the car show we went and then finished the day off with watching some pig wrestling. Only in Payson right! All around fun Labor Day here in Payson! (Pictures can be found on facebook)

Tookie Tut

Well Paizley is just growing up too fast! She loves to learn and explore. She started crawling at 8 months and is on the verge of walking...walking at 9 months are you serious Paiz! What a kid. She brings so much laugher and joy in our home. She is almost 9 months and has more nicknames given to her by her daddy, aunts, and uncles than I ever imagined. She answers to Tookie Tut, Paizzers, Pailey, Princess, Baby Girl, Tut Tut, Curious George, beautiful, and that's just to name a few. She is really the highlight of our lives and just love her to pieces.

Run Paiz!!

You're going to love this video! This is a good indication of what our nights consist of...so much fun playing with Paiz. Her daddy loves to scare her and in this video she is trying to get away from him but she hasn't figured out how to make it up the stairs yet. So funny!! It makes me think of those dreams where you're being chased but you can't run...but she is actually enjoying this!!

Yuba Lake

For our last trip before summer ends we took a trip to Yuba lake. It was with Craig's work and we had so much fun. We don't have any pictures because I forgot the camera at home, so I'll try to be very descriptive in my writing. Craig's boss paid for us to go to the lake. They provided a wave runner for each family. We had a picnic and dinner there as well. It was Paizley's first time on a wave runner and might I just say it wasn't her favorite. I think it was the life jacket she hated the most but we wouldn't let her on the wave runner without it. She loved sitting on the edge of the beach playing in the water and mud. She loved watching her mama and daddy on the wave runners though. She could hear her mama screaming because her daddy was so crazy on it! What a perfect way to end the summer. So sad it's gone, but it sure was a fabulous one!
