The Little Gym

It was 'show day' at the Little Gym (Paige's tumbling class)....Paige was so excited, as this is they day they show the parent's/grand parent's/ etc all they have learned.

Paige walking on the tall balance beam and holding on with just one hand!


Inside the donut/circle...she likes it when she sits in there and I rock it back and forth.


Paige shooting a basket!


Getting her medal for doing so well this session...

All the kid's in her class...

More snow....

On the 5th of January we had more snow and Kurt was coming down with a cold and back to work (I did not have to go back until the 7th), so Paige and I shoveled the drive way and played in the snow.

I pulled Paige down the street in the sled...


..then we got the mail on the way back...

Who knew this little rake would be so versatile! We have used it to rake leaves, sweep, and shovel the snow!

Sugar cookies

It was cold and snowy a couple weeks ago...so we made sugar cookies. Paige was a big help!

Rolling our the dough....

Dipping the cookie cutter in the flour/powdered sugar mixture...

Pressing it down on the dough...

And we get shape the at is ready to put on the sheet and bake!

Play time at Rafiki...

Rafiki is a kid play place. We met Paige's friend, Bridgette, there one morning. Paige and Bridgette put on a puppet show for me!



Paige loves this slide, but it can be a bit FAST, so I made her go down on her tummy...she did this nearly a dozen times!

New Year's Day!

We usually go to Eastern Oregon with a bunch of friends for New Year's, but this year a sick baby girl and bad weather prevented that....so we had some of the friends over for dinner, football and of course drinks!

Aunt Terri mixes mudslides in the blender and the kid's (Jace and Paige) dance....

Then Shane came in and joined the in 'mix the drink' dance...

Jace and Paige stacked the buckets and played 'who can knocked them over first'..

Paige...still a bucket head!
