Birthday Girl

Today was Paiges' 9th birthday!! I cannot believe how time has simply FLOWN by! We took her to Chuck E. Cheese's to play games. She and Shelby and Ben played for over an hour and won lots of tickets which then morphed into all sorts of little treasures that they brought home. The consensus of everyone was that the pizza there is AWFUL, so we ordered a pizza from a little pizzeria just down the street from us and by the time we drove from Silverdale to home, it was ready! We had also ordered an ice cream cake for Paige from the Cold Stone Creamery, which we picked up on our way home. Once home, Paige picked National Lampoons Vacation to watch...all in all a really fun family night! She is going to have her 'girly sleep over' party in a few weeks. I have pictures to post, but as my laptop is at the Doctors right now, you will all just have to wait until I get it back and I can 'edit' my posts from this month and add pictures to them all, so DO check back in a few weeks to see the pictures that go with all these words!
Shelby flies home to WI tomorrow. We always have so much fun with her when she is here. She is getting to an age where Mark can really reach her heart and answer some of her many questions. Some will have to wait until she is older, but this kid is no dummy. She knows exactly what is going on and see's alot more than some people give her credit for! There are going to be some very tough questions asked by her in the future, and I am glad that I can rest at ease knowing that neither Mark nor I will have anything to be apologizing for when that time does come. :)

Hugs to you all,
Jaye
