Curlies & BikeMan

Well, tis official! Chayce's hair will be/is curly. The grandmas were wondering, so I got a few shots of Chayce's head. She is a happy girl, as she exclaims, "Now I look like Cinderella!"


Zach is also doing some growing & changing (sigh). Here he's posing in Daddy's bike gear.

Blessing Day

We had such a beautiful time today. Aunt Shawna, Uncle Ed, Michael, Adrienne, and Grandpa Smith were able to make the drive from Ohio & many of Stephen's wonderful colleagues attended Payge's blessing today. Payge wasn't completely cooperative during the blessing. She kept arching her back, and those assisting in the blessing were afraid she was going to go flying! Uncle Ed said he had a good grip on her dress, so if all else failed, she would have been swinging upside down. Luckily, Stephen kept her where she should be by moving with her. I can only imagine it was like driving on icy roads...moving with the jolts & slides.

Regretfully, we didn't get any photos of our guests today, but we did get a few of Payge in her blessing dress. Actually, this dress has been worn many times in our family...first by me 26 or so years ago, then my sweet nieces wore it, then Chayce, now Payge.



Smile!!!





Beautiful baby.


Sisters.

Playing Around

A few photos of Miss Payge, holding herself up like such a big girl!

They're a bit big, dad...

Zachary's Second Recital

Zach did really well at his recital today. The clapping during his piece is Chayce, proud of her brother (she's also the reason for the camera being bumped up & down while Stephen was taping).

Tarzallarina

Chayce decided that she just couldn't take off her tutu to go play on the rope in our neighbor's yard. She grabs the rope, climbs to the bottom of the slide, and jumps off, swinging like Tarzan.

Zach, You're Toe-Munch (Too Much)

YUCK!! Zach, what were you thinking? And we can't even blame his uncle Steve for this "toe-munching behavior".
