August -Utah Trip

Howdy, ya'll!  My name is Paige Lauryn Rollins, I am the youngest of three girls, an identical twin, and 16 1/2 months old.  I love toys, books, eating noodles and clothes.  I am a super goof, but mom calls me a goose and I love laughing.  I am very intense, my patience is short and my temper is fantastic, that's how I stay my ground in my family.  Oh, and I love to brush my teeth.  I am going to tell you about our trip to Utah this past August.  Daddy had a 3 week stint in Oakland, CA so mom and us girls headed on over to Utah for 2 1/2 of those weeks.  It was basically a party. 
Our first day there we headed straight for the water park with Grandma and Grandpa and Tyler, Abbey and Rylee.  We love water parks.  I don't have any pictures to show you because the camera batteries died.  Thank goodness anyway, because I was kind of mad that day and not really in the mood to hear "paigee, look at the camera."  Aftin had a blast swimming and Lace and I got a really good nap.  Mom and dad went down crazy water slides head first.  They think the rush is fun, (I think they are getting kindof old).

Dad had to go back to California so off to South Weber to stay with Shelley!  I love Shelley.  She taught me how to count to 2, but really 3, I only say "1, 2".  Shelley has Brandon, Jake, Andrew and Henry.  Henry is the same age as I am, he's a lot of fun.  Here are the highlights.

this is henry and his toys.  we played a lot!

mom and shelley took all the kids the the splash park.  only the little ones had to stay on the blanket with shelley

aftin playing in the water, no fair

andrew and tyler huddled in blankets, i don't know about this, it sure was a scorcher that day

this is jake.  he's a good buddy.  he likes to hold us

peek-a-boo!  fun times, i tell you what!

 mom kept taking our picture in our chairs

she says you never can have enough.  i say she needs a grammar check

laci's dream came true because cori let her play computer

this is a kid dinner party, minus me and laci, we got to eat first!  baked spaghetti, yum.


this is the castle park

but once again, banished to the blanket.


we didn't sit still for long!

aftin and andrew, taking over the ship

jake showing off his monkey bar skills, but i don't see any monkeys

we know where mom keeps the treats.  we have her trained so every time we go out, she packs the bag, then we get treats at the store because we cry and then again at home, because mom doesn't put the bag away

go cougars!  we just wanted to show off our new shirts.

me just working on a little mess

just haning out with the girls and the cousins

this is a good one!  aftin colored all over shelley's table and wall!  with markers! mom was really mad.  shelley laughed, so aftin got off easy

We also went to visit Lanae and baby Jaelynn and Drew and Tate.  They live in Mendon.  Mom let me crawl around with the big kids, usually she tries to keep me on the blanket.  I loved it!

aftin thinks that everything pink is hers.  she did not want to share her ball

this is me, can you guess where i am?

on this blanket

but not for long!

just playing with the big kids, and i know exactly how to do it

the bikes

and the barn!  i want a barn behind my house!

After all this we went to pick daddy up at the airport, then on to grandma's.  I was really excited.  Mom says I am kindof a daddy's girl.  And it's true, I am.  "Daddy" was my first official word.

but, first things first, strapped in the stroller

and aftin explored the streets of Salt Lake

and the water falls of Salt Lake

and run

and be with daddy

behind the scenes, Christmas lights.  mom and dad said that maybe we can come back and see them

although Laci and i were in the stroller the entire time, our ride was first class

Then off to Camp Rollins!
ever seen one of these?  they are fantastic!

at home we call the trundle to aftin's bed a trampoline.  little did we know...

that aftin can stand under one!

me, mom and my brand new stitches, 4 of them.  i love doggies, i just got a little too close.  so mom held me all day!  she never does that  

laci with grandma, she's only wearing a diaper.  mom never lets us just go in our diapers!  lucky girl...

play time with daddy.

and the lake.  i didn't know what to expect at the lake

but aftin knew, she's a really good big sister

we just follw her lead.
