Staying Organized

We have a new addition to our living room.  Jordan's uncle Reuben has made many things for us.  He is the one who made Jordan's gun cabinet, my quilt rack, and our garbage bin.  He just finished a beautiful toy chest that can also serve as a seat.  We can finally have most of the toys put away, and our living room only looks like a small toy store.  Paisley really enjoys it...she actually thinks it is a toy itself.

Fun at the Park

Yesterday afternoon we made a stop at a different park in Benton.  This park had a lot of different "rides" for Paisley to try out.  Her favorite is still the slide...even though she couldn't make it down the big twirly slide by herself.  We tried, but she ended up twisting around and hitting her head.  She really does enjoy being outside.  She will look out the window and say, "Side...side."

Her newest fascination is that she tells stories and then laughs at them.  We have no idea what she is saying, but she thinks it is pretty funny.  We laugh along with her, and she loves it.  She also will put a bag over her shoulder or put our shoes on and say, "Bye!  Bye!"  She then will come over and try to give us a kiss.  It is adorable!!

First Day of Summer!!

Since today is the first day of summer and the humidity made it feel really sticky, we decided to visit the Shullsburg pool for the first time this summer.  Paisley wasn't too excited.  She had a death-grip on me, but she did start to relax after awhile.  We made it back to the shallow end, and she actually sat on the first step all by herself.  She actually seemed to be enjoying herself at that point...the point that we were going to leave.  We decided that we just need to take her more often.  It should be a fun summer!!

Smore Fun!

Sunday night was the Cuba City fireworks, and we can see them really well from our house.  We had a few families over for a cookout, bonfire, and fireworks fun.  Paisley was loving life!  She was just in awe of all the kids playing with her toys.  She was running all over with everyone...until 10:30.  At one point Jordan said to me, "I think Paisley can party longer than you can."  However, Paisley was falling asleep while eating supper tonight.  She can party, but she needs her beauty sleep too!

Big "Mini" Golfer

Jordan's basketball team had a mini-golf outing this week.  Paisley and I came along for a night filled with mini-golf.  Paisley loved it!!  She immediately started chasing the balls, and she needed to have a club in hand.  I got a lot of exercise chasing Paisley.  We had to keep warning the girls that Paisley would steal the ball.  Hey...if no one was playing with it, why couldn't she take it?  It kind of defeated the meaning of golf!  She had a great time!

When she wasn't chasing golf balls, she found the perfect ride... a school bus.  She is going to be quite the driver someday.  Watch out!!
