The Daly's have not taken family pictures in years. Last year we contemplated taking family pictures but we held off till the newest grandbaby was born! This Holiday season we took advantage of the Mini Sessions that G&M Images were offering. We headed to Prospect Park in Redlands for some family pictures!

Here are some of my FAVORITE pictures that we took!

PINTEREST.... My New Obsession!!

SOOOO... Michelle got me hooked on a new website called Pinterest. Its a site that people post different crafts, recipes, ideas, pretty much anything you can think of! It is got me into crafting these past few weeks! I thought I would share what I have recently made!!!

Vinyl Blocks for my Bookcase!

Thanks to Steph for the blocks, vinyl, and the scrapbook paper, I made a Thanksgiving decoration!

All I did was use paint the blocks. Once they were dry I sanded them down to have a distress type look. then I used Modge Podge to glue the scrapbook paper down and then added some vinyl lettering and there you have a simple yet cute decoration for your shelf. Don't forget to add the ribbon!!

Turn my Thanksgiving around and there you have Christmas!!!

Paige's new I <3 You Because Frame now sits on her dresser in her room.

All I did was buy a White Picture Frame. Printed out the I love you because and did the line on a paper. Put it in the frame and with a dry eraser marker I am able to write the reasons why I love Paige on a daily basis. This was EXTREMELY EASY!!!

Paige's new Bow Board! I did not have a bow board yet for Paige so I searched Bow Boards on Pinterest and a Magnet Board popped up. I thought Hmmm... I have something like that already... i wonder if it would work. Soooo... I took this Magnet board that I received as a Baby Shower gift from Dana and Jan. I painted the frame white, added Paige's name with Vinyl letterings, glued magnets to the frame and put magnets on the magnetic part and there you have a very handy, yet very cute Bow Board!!!

Paige has ZERO hats for the winter and I had seen someone post on Pinterest Knit Hats. SO I decided to explore and found how to make them. They were super easy once I got the hang of it. I also made the bows!! I put Velcro on the hat as well as the back of the bows so I can coordinate the hats and bows to whatever Paige is wearing! and then I thought the bows were too cute that I made extra ones to put on her headbands!!! Now Paige's head can be warm during the cold nights!!!

And here you have all of my new crafts!!! There is more to come... that's for sure!!!!

More Veggies and Fruits Please!

Paige is continuing to try new fruits and veggies! This time around we tried more veggies then fruits. Paige has now tried Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes, Corn and Pears. Paige loved the Sweet Potatoes and Corn.... Broccoli... Not so much but she will eat it!

On October 20th Paige tried Pears...

Paige's 1st bite....

Hmm... not sure...

Still thinking... and I think I think Pears!

On October 31st Paige tried Broccoli. It was hilarious! She did not like the taste at first. She gaged the whole time she ate it. I only gave her half and ice cube. I didnt want to torcher her too much! This was Paige's 1st Bite!

Really Mom?

This is HORRIBLE!! Give me some WATER!!!

Paige excited to try Sweet Potatoes on November 2nd. She is hoping this tastes better then the broccoli...

first bite....

Thinking about this veggies....

Yep Mom... that was a good choice!!!

Paige wanting more! (p.s this is the way she waves now)

On November 6th, Paige tried Corn....

you can't tell by the look on her face, but Paige loved her corn!!!

Paige has done great with trying new foods! Dr. Sheth said I can start her on meats at 7 months.... I'm kind of grossed out about the thought of having to puree meat... but a mom has to do what a mom has to do =0)

Paige's 1st Halloween (2011)

As you can see Paige was a Kitty Kat for her 1st Halloween. Boy was she the cutiest Kitty Kat out there! This year we decided to head over to Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills and experience their Harvest Fest. It was very cool. There were games, bouncers, games, slides, and more games! Not to mention they had lots of food there... including the In-n-Out truck!

Grandma Nana, G-Pa, and Roxanne met us girls there to watch all of the kidos get candy. After that Paige and I headed to Aunty Brandi and Uncle Mike's for some more fun, food, and trick or treating! Here we go....

Grandma Nana & Paigey

Gavin out little Monkey and he was the cutiest little Monkey in the World!

Paigey LOVES stealing Gavin's Paci!!!

Alison & Ella had so much fun. They got lots of candy, jumped like crazy and went down the slides! Ella got stuck and couldn't climb up the slide... Alison went to her rescue! What a GREAT big Cousin!
