Paige Turns 12!

This is our cute Paige. We can't believe she is already 12!

Paige has always been playful and full of fun and she is excited to be going to girl's camp for the first time this summer.

Here is Paige at about 2 years old. She loves being outside and spending time with her family.

When Paige was much smaller (about 6 months ago) she wanted to have her birthday party here. Where is here you ask? A house about a mile from where we live where a man lives that collects all kinds of stuff and proudly displays it in his yard. He usually has a sign out front letting children know that they may choose one thing to take home. Paige always thought it would be fun to go there with her friends so that each of them could choose one of these treasures for their very own. We are secretly jealous that Paige thought of this great idea before we did. Maybe one day she will get brave enough to stop by and choose something from this unique yard. All of you reading this that live in an HOA are jealous aren't you? Admit it!

This is what greeted Paige when she opened the door and walked down the sidewalk to school on her birthday. Her nice sister, Allie, used some chalk to wish Paige a happy birthday and brighten up her day. It worked! Paige and I had a fun day together. We ate at Wendys, shopped, went to a movie and best of all, Allie, Matt, and Sarah met us at the temple and we all did baptisms together. It was so fun to be in the temple together. We only have a little over 2 years and then all of the Cluffs can be in the temple together. We can't wait. Paige loved doing baptisms and said that she wants to go every day.

Here is Paige and Sarah the day after Paige's birthday all ready to go with the young women in our Ward to tour the Gila Valley temple. I know, we already went, but lucky Paige and Sarah got to go again. Paige turned 12 just in time to go and they had a great time. Paige we are so glad that you are 12 now and that you let us go with you to the temple on your birthday. We love you. You are always making us laugh and we are so glad that you are in our family.
