When you remember to use them!!!!!!!!!! Yes, everyone that blue car in the picture is MY car. I know you can't tell from the picture, but it was inches away from hitting my car.
The first picture is Paige dancing! The second picture is what her face looks like after eating a toaster strudel. The third picture is paige sitting so nicely at her table, eating her puffs. The last two are her on the ground looking for any puffs that may have fallen under her table. She really is that big of a pig that she searches the ground looking for scrapes...LOL.
Now that Paige can walk she LOVES to be outside. She goes to the front door and cries until you open it and let her out. She had also mastered going in and out of the front door, so she does that many times.
This is Paigey after she got caught pulling all the DVDs down. Shane and I were laughing so hard at her reaction, we hadn't even said any thing to her yet. She just knew that she was in trouble!
These are some pictures of Jared opening his gifts at his party. Sorry they are so dark, apparently Shane does not know how to use the flash...LOL He had such a good time playing with his cousins and his friends.
I can't believe how fast the years have gone by. This time 9 years ago, I was in the hospital being induced, awaiting the arrival of my precious baby boy!!!!! Jared Parker West arrived at 10:12 p.m. after 12 hrs of labor, wieghing 9lbs 9oz and 21 inches long.
We were lucky to have some friends meet us at the zoo! These are friends that I have made over the internet. They have babies that are the same age as Paige. The frist baby is Braeden, then Charlie, and then our Paige. The next picture is all the kids climbing on the hippos. Then there is Paige telling Charlie a secret, but I don't think he was listening (typical man...LOL) The fourth picture is all the mommies and the babies. It is Melissa and Braeden, Kristine and Charlie and me and Paige. The lasy picture is EVERYONE!!! The husbands, the mommies, the kids and the babbies. There were 7 kids there, but they were all good and had lots of fun!
The baby giraffe was so cute. He never once moved from that spot the whole time we were there...LOL He was just born in Aug, so he was just about a month old when we were there. The other giraffes were just standing there eating. Not too much from them. The next picture is a lion. It was hard to get a good picture of him, because he was asleep the whole time and he was behind the fence. The fourth picture is of the meerkats. Jared was SO excited to see them. That was one of the few things that he asked to see. The last is of course an elephant. The boys were really excited to see them.
The bird is a baby pink flamingo! Isn't he so cute? This is one of the monkeys that we saw. He never moved from this position! The baby chimp had a good time playing with the kids at the glass. The hippos were amazing. I knew they were big, but I never relized just how big they really were. The polor bear was not too interested in doing anything for us. He was WAY too busy eating his bone.
This is what happens when you turn your back on a toddler for 5 seconds!!! Got to love them. She is lucky that she is so cute or she would be in BIG trouble!!!
