Happy Birthday Paigey Girl!!

Oh man.  My crazy Paigey turned 8.  It's been kinda a rough year for her, but these last few months she's grown up and is making better choices.  I remember going through the same thing with Logan - wondering if she was really ready to get baptized when she could be so naughty.  Paige is such a fun kid.  She just wants to play and have fun and smile and laugh.  She's super flexible and it's been fun to watch her in gymnastics.  Her and Logan are in the same class but they learn and practice so differently.  Logan thinks about every move she makes.  When she does a handstand she thinks about it.  Not Paige.  Paige goes for it.  She does 100 handstands to every 1 of Logan's.  She has a lot of energy and is usually the last one of my kids asleep at night.  I just love this kid.  The other day I asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up.  No joke this was her answer: "I want to be a teacher.  'Cause you get a treat when someone has a birthday and I like treats." 

For her birthday we took her and a handful of friends to a zipline place called Jungle Quest.  The kids loved it and there wasn't any clean up on my part.  Perfect.
