What have we been up to?

Road Trip!!!! we took a road trip to Idaho to visit my Father in Law and his wife Joy. My Sister and Brother in Law Destiny and Justin traveled from Seattle. It was so nice to get together and we had a nice couple of days just hanging out. Abe and Joy have a beautiful place on 56 acres in Grangeville Idaho. My FIL has an airplane and he took Kayla and Coop for a spin ( there was NO WAY I was going up there)they spent about an hour up in the air. I am not gonna lie.....8+ hours (one way)in the car with a family of 5 was challenging at times, but it was lots of fun. Our travels took us along the route of Lewis and Clarke, THAT WAS COOL! I love that kind of stuff. We took a detour on the way home and spent a night in Portland and went to the Washington Park Zoo. It is nice to be home, although Paige traveled very well. I wouldn't want to be strapped in a car seat for that long, but she didn't seem to mind. Oh, I cant forget to mention that Paige pulled herself up to stand for the first time while in Idaho. She is really good at it now and you can tell she is thinking about taking some steps. While Dad is excited, I feel like my baby is growing up so fast. She is turning into a little girl so very fast. We have one month before we have to go back to work and I don't want to miss a thing my little angel might do or say. Her personality is really starting to pop out and boy is she something!! I am crazy about my little Diva!
