LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN

Paige is officially SEVEN! My little seven year old drama queen. I forgot to take any pictures of her birthday, which is so not like me. Not the forgetting something part because that is totally me, but I have been doing pretty good about taking pictures of our special occasions. I think Paige was pretty pleased overall with her birthday. She got to have a fun sleepover with friends over the weekend, and got to have more cake and presents on Sunday with family. How do they get so big so fast? Out of all my kids, she is the one that it terrifies me the most to think of as a teenager. Even though she pretty much acts like she already is one. We are already having issues with boys (aren't boys her age supposed to think that girls have cooties.....not go around telling girls how hot they are!), make-up, her social life, what clothes she can and can't wear, talking back..........ugh! Why do little girls want to grow up so fast???? Luckily for me, when I am not in her bad graces for ruining her life, she can still be super sweet and snuggly. Boy do I cherish those moments!! She is such a good big sister to Ben, and has been a big blessing to me in helping out with him. She is almost always willing to help me out when I ask her and likes to surprise me sometimes by doing something nice for me like making my bed. She loves to be creative and crafty, and I'm excited to see what comes of that talent as she gets older. She is definitely headstrong and stubborn which can drive me crazy, but I am hoping that they are qualities that will help her to accomplish the things that she needs to in her life.


Since I forgot to take pictures of her birthday celebrations, I made sure I at least got a picture of her on her birthday. I was just going to post the best picture but then decided to post them all because they were kind of funny. She started off with such a fake smile, then a totally exaggerated laugh, and then I got a more natural picture of my beautiful Paige!

I can't believe she is 7. Crazy. What a cute little thing. Good luck with the boy thing. I'm crossing my fingers with Tatum. She's a total flirt already. We love you guys and miss you.
