Paige's Photo Shot

Ok, so it has taken me a few weeks, but I finally am posting some pictures of Paige that our friend Bethany took for us~ They turned out so cute!

This one is probably one of my favorites of Paige... It's a really neat shot!

I love this picture... just goes to show that from this point on at least one of our children in every picture will be pulling a funny face!

Ok so this is one of my other favorites. I love this one of Paige... this is Grandma Scott's favorite!

Another favorite...

This one has got Paige written all over it, one of the faces that Paige is famous for ~

This is the only picture of Paige smiling that we have! Love it when she smiles... just makes me melt every time. She is getting in this really fun stage (well every stage has been fun) where she has started talking to us, laughing and smiling. SO CUTE~

She wasn't so happy when we took the pictures, unfortunately

Love this one with Scott holding her

I thought this one was super cool with the black and white and her clothes in color... very neat!

She looks so long in this one~

Ok so like every picture is my favorite! But when my favorite person is in all of them how can I not love every single one... Adorable! So, have I offically earned obsessed Mommy status yet? ;)

Our wonderful little Family...

K... so this one is not so good of Scott and me, but I absolutely love the look that is on her face in this one!!! That's probably enough pictures... there were lots more that I really liked but I'm sure that everone doesn't need to see every single picture that was taken.

Ok, maybe just Paige's Grandma and Mommy :)

Blessing Day!!

Paige Krystine Willoughby was blessed on the first Sunday of the month, August 2nd. What a wonderful experience! I cannot express the love that filled my heart on that Sunday. Just thinking about what an incredible blessing we had come into our lives on June 27th 2009 filled my soul with such love and gratitude for what an amazing gift God has given us. Paige has been the absolute best thing that has ever happened in my life (next to marrying the man of my dreams ;) I love being a mother and wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't know how I ever lived life, or breathed without her! I just couldn't help but think of the love that filled my heart when they laid her in my arms for the first time, or the way that Scott looked at her after she was born. I tasted a little piece of heaven that day. I knew that I would "love" her more than anything, but what I experienced was so much more than that... I experienced true pure love! I now understand the pure love that our Heavenly father has for each and everyone of his children. I am so thankful for my knowledge of the gospel and that we can be together as a family forever!

Paige in her beautiful blessing dress... She looked so cute. She really didn't like being in it though... I think that it must have been really itchy. (I don't blame her, I wouldn't want to wear it either :) Oh, what mother's do to their children to make them look cute!)

~ Pictures with the Family~

We had such a wonderful day~ We had lots of family come to the blessing...

Mommy & Daddy holding Paige, by the end of the day she was pretty grouchy... so she doesn't look to happy in this one. So Mommy was feeling pretty guilty for making her sweet little girl wear that itchy dress so we changed her into something a little more comfortable after church. To tell you the truth, to make it worse... we had to put her back in the dress cause I had forgotten to take any pictures of her in it, poor thing and she thought that she was safe, think again Paige! ;)

Spendin' some time with Uncle Dustin. (I love this one, super cute!)

Here's Scott's Brother's Family. The kids were so cute taking turns holding her. They drove all the way from Arizona! And Scott's sister even drove up too, from Utah. We are so blessed to have such supportive families! We just wanted to say thanks to everyone in each of our families for making such an incredible effort to come and visit Paige after she was born and for the blessing.

Paige with her cousin Mason... I absolutely love this picture. Mason was so cute with her, he just adores his little cousin. He always wants to hold her :)

Another lovely picture with Mom and Dad... and yes she is crying in this one. She doesn't cry that much (of course she just conviently looks grumpy when we take out the camera...)

~WE LOVE YOU PAIGE!~
