Happy Friday!!!!

Finally.....Smiles!

for a while, it was hard to get smiles out of this little girl. i got looks of dread and "hey, get that camera out of my face" looks.....hehe.....but here lately, i've been getting cute smiles!!!!








these are also pictures of one tired little girl. paige has been attending a riding camp this week and after a day full of activities and fun....she is worn out and ready for some rest.

Introducing.....Isabelle

isabelle is the kitten paige got for her birthday from her friend, makenzie. isabelle is a very sweet little girl. the only problem is that our cat tom is VERY upset with this new addition to our home. i hope it all works out but we'll have to wait and see how things go.

Paige's Birthday Party

yesterday, we had paige's birthday party to celebrate her 11th birthday. her actually birthday is not until the 10th, but in order to squeeze it in on a saturday we chose to celebrate on the 7th.

we had a very low-key celebration. she invited a few friends over for pizza and cake and played a few games.
































one of paige's friends, makenzie, gave her a kitten for her birthday.








paige thanking all of her friends with a big group hug.





and then the games begin.....














and then right before it was time to go....our huge magnolia tree became the source of entertainment.








and a "oh dear" look from bugle....haha....this cracks me up.






good times!
