Shreddin'

Paige demonstrates the proper technique for rockin' an air guitar.

First Primary Talk

Fortunately, Paige's Olympic rage did not last long. Today she was back to her (generally) sweet self. With Traci's help, she gave her first Primary talk. If I could have taken a picture it would have looked like this: Paige holding up a picture of Joseph Smith, with just the very tip of her head peeking above the podium. She confidently repeated after Traci and then had an ear-to-ear smile when she sat back down. We couldn't have been more proud.

The Olympic Spirit

During the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Tommie Smith and John Carlos defiantly raised their fists in support of black power. During the 2010 Jordan 4th Ward Olympics, Paige made an equally overt demonstration.

All the kids were invited to walk through the gym during the open ceremonies of last night's Olympic-themed ward party. Paige reluctantly followed her peers, unsure of what she was getting herself into.

When she entered the gym with her construction-paper-and-drinking-straw flag, she walked right to center court and, in one smooth motion, ripped the paper from its base and threw the stick on the floor. She then walked right out the other door.

When she came back to our seats, we didn't she immediately told us about her protest. "I ripped my flag and threw it on the floor," she said matter of factly.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I don't like being in parades."

Noted.

The Haircut

It was time for Curtis's super-fast-growing, poofy-curly-hippie hair to get a trim. And he did not like it.

Primary: Families Aren't Important

On the drive home from church yesterday...

SPENCER: What was your lesson about today?

PAIGE: Something very important.

SPENCER: What was it?

PAIGE: Uh, I don't know.

PAIGE: [pause] Families.

SPENCER: Why are families important?

PAIGE: No. Families aren't important. The lesson is important.

SPENCER: Okay. Very good.

Paige is Cute

Here's the proof.
