Lagoon

For the past few years, we've been going to Lagoon on July 4th with Chases family. For some reason it's not crowded on the 4th. This was Paisley's first year, and I think she had a fun time. A couple of the rides scared her, but for the most part she liked all the rides.

San Diego

At the end of April we took a family vacation with my parents and went to San Diego. We drove. My parents rented a car. We left our house about 10 in the morning on April 26. We drove to Vegas and stayed one night. The next morning we drove to San Diego. We went to the Beach, the Zoo and Sea World. It was a lot of fun. Paisley did awesome riding in the car. We took a portable dvd player to keep her entertained. We were a little squished, but not bad. Have a look at our week in Cali.

Dad's Birthday

This year for Dad's birthday we celebrated it with everyone up at the cabin. Everyone loves it up there. Those who came were: Dad, Mom, Us, Grandma, Grandpa, Norm, Mindy, Richard, Dan, Elida, Josiah, Elizabeth, Frank and Willine. What a perfect way to celebrate a summer birthday.

She loves watermelon.

Happy Birthday Pah-pa Dodger!!

4th of July

We entered Paisley in the 2010 Riverdale baby contest and she won!! However, we're terrible parents and didn't get any pictures of that special day. We got a lot of video, but no photos. Probably because we were too busy showing her off. Either way, we got some pics of her and I in the 4th of July parade. She got to ride in a little train and throw candy and wave a little flag. We are in the 2nd car.

We lit some fireworks on the 4th at our house. The 4th was on a Sunday this year, but all the state festivities were held on the 3rd.

The Cabin...

We love to spend time at the family cabin. We try to go as much as we can during the summer. We've started taking my family with us once in a while. We love to go up and get away from the busy-ness of life. No phones, no tv, no traffic, just us. We also like to take Grandma Beth with us, and Sadie of course.

This is one of Paisley favorite things to do at the cabin. Find rocks and throw them in the river.

Then there's the swing.

And of course, you have to have a fire.

Breakfast at the cabin, on the deck, is a fun tradition.

Summer Fun...

Since we've moved into our house, we've made some really great, new friends. But if you asked Paisley who her best friend is, hands down she'd say Bo. We love the Wades. They live next door to us. They're awesome. Plus they have 3 cute, cute boys with a little girl on the way. Here's a picture of Paisley with the boys.

This little girl loves to play with the hose.
