The Past Few Weeks

The past couple of weeks have been super busy, to start off, I have joined a quilting group with a few friends. This originally was going to be a quilt for Paislee, but I couldn't pick out colors for her, and these are the colors I finally decided on. The quilt is supposed to be a beginner quilt and I hope that that remains true. It will have 3D pinwheels and a cute checker border. This will be my first ever quilt so I hope it turns out well. Just yesterday, Paislee got to go on her first ever horse ride. It seems like she enjoyed it, she didn't even throw a fit. This is Lee's horse, Kip, she is 3 years old and kind of skiddish still. (I myself am scared to death of her.) I hope Paislee grows up and isn't afraid of horses like her mom.
Now that it is summer and it is warm outside, Paislee and I have enjoyed walks, she just loves her front pack. We also have a little ball cap that fits her well and it is very cute. She is wearing it in this picture but it doesn't show very well, but her face is too cute in this pic.
Paislee is 3 1/2 months old now and she still loves to be burrito wrapped when it is nap time or time for bed. She looks like a little pea in a pod when she is wrapped up so tight. When she turned 3 months, she weighed 12 pounds and 8.5 ounces, and was 23 inches long, and she is still wearing 0-3 months clothes, but some are starting to get too short or tight.
One of Paislee's new talents along with drooling, is spitting up. She doesn't spit up after each feeding, so it is comes as a surprise each time. This particular time was mine own fault. I finished feeding her and she didn't burp right away, so I gave up and started to play with her. I lifted her up into the air and she spit up on the way down. Needless to say I had to take a picture, but was home alone so I propped the camera up on our table and got a picture.
We are having such an enjoyable life with Paislee this summer so far and just cannot imagine what we did with our time before Pais was around.
Luck to all,
♥Lee, Angie, and Paislee♥

Cutie Pie

Can I just say what a talented mother I have!
These pictures were taken at the Target Portriate Studio and Paislee did great! She stayed awake and was pleasant but not very smiley.
This is her blessing dress that was made by her aunt Kim and Granna.
Seeing her in the little white dress made me think of that song about the 3 white dresses of girls. We are on dress 1 of 3 - blessing dress, baptism dress, then wedding dress - it will be a few years before the other dresses come along! She is just the joy of our lives! It is hard to remember what it was like when she was not with us all the time.
Her cute round body makes the best "O"
This idea was borrowed from the photographer and her "special" pages, but mom - your picture is way cuter if I say so myself. It will be so fun when she can sit up on her own!


Our holiday experience was loads of fun! We went out to the city for a quick visit with the fam, a trip to Lagoon - it rained and rained and rained - still very fun. Then it was back home. A half shift of work, and celebration fun! There was fire works and food, and good company! Paislee did not enjoy the loud up in the sky fireworks...so we enjoyed the show through the window. Then we celebrated my 21st birthday. Complete with home made ice cream pie! Thanks Lee!
I guess our little family is doing well!
