Paisley is 1 month old!
Paisley's first 3 weekends
Paisley had a crazy first 3 weekends. The first weekend of her life when she was one week old we went up to our friends cabin. They are friends of hte family and the whole family clan got to go. We had a great time and she did very well. All the kids kept their distance and were just glad to have her there. Kurt even took her out on a canoe. It was a little stream and was not deep at all. He only took her in there for the picture so nothing dangerous.
The second weekend we took her to the Heber Camp with my family. My parents took all of their kids and their in-law's families to the Heber Camp. We had a big cabin for each family and we had a great time. Paisley again did great and is already liking the outdoors from the beginning...whether she likes it or not.
The third weekend we took her to the state fair. We had a great time and she even went to the rodeo. She got to see the cows, sheep, and even tigers. What 3 week old baby had done all that by the time they were 3 weeks?!?!? She survived and is still healthy. She even goes and plays volleyball with mom and dad weekly and goes out walking and jogging as well. She is one tuff newborn. We are thankful she is so healthy so that we were able to do all of these things.
May is a special family name
Many of you know Paisley's middle name is May. May is the middle name of Paisley's great grandma Norma. This picture was a special day with Grandma Norma May. We took Paisley to see grandma at the rest home where she lives. Grandma Norma had a very bad case of dementia (forget the spelling) and does not talk or understand much anymore. She doesn't leave her bad and doesn't respond much to anyone anymore. My dad is ver good at getting her to respond some with her eyes adn maybe a word or two here and there but it doesn't happen very often. My aunts don't hear her say anything anymore. Anyway, when we put Paisley in front of my grandma's face, her eyes lite up. Paisley seem to stare back as well. Not only was the eye contact special but grandma talked. Grandma said she was beautiful and when we asked her where the name May came from she smiled and said, "me". Paisley started to make noises and again grandma spoke...she said, "she's trying to say something". At the end when we were about to leave we told grandma to give her a kiss, and again, she responded. This a picture with the two of them. It was so cute, a moment that we will never forget and we will have to remember to share with Paisley always.
CONVERTED!!!!
I AM OFFICIALLY CONVERTED!! There are two schools I never thought I would be apart of or cheer for but I am proud to say they both have a lot influence in my life right now.
BYU FOOTBALL is part of our weekly saturday schedule. Our lives on saturday revolve around the games and Kurt of course started that in our family because, believe it our not, years ago I would have been cheering for the Utes but now it is all BYU. It has been fun to get so into the games and I am very proud of their great football team. It is always fun to watch someone that is good. Kurt gets so into the games with his family and loves checking out their standing on espn.com with his brother.
As for the other school...I never thought I would call myself a dart
with brown and yellow for their colors but I do now. I am trying to finish up my student teaching to be able to get my teaching liciense and I have been assigned to teach PE and spanish at Davis High...Go darts. It was wierd to get my first Davis shirt and wear it. I felt like a very big trader but I will forever be a Viking I just have to make an exepting for a little while. I spent a lot of my high school sport days bringing down the darts and wanting to do anything to beat them. Now, when I go to a sports game I don't know which team to cheer for. It has still been a great experience and I am surprised to hear myself say it is a great school after all. :)
