Dear Santa,

Please come. We've been really good! (at least that's what Grandma says)
Sincerely,
Paige, Zoe, Livee and Miles

Miniature Golfing.

For Chase's birthday (he's 15!!!) he wanted to go Miniature golfing. I use to work here like 100 years ago, so it was fun to go back and see how it's changed.
Paisley loved the view from way up high on Uncle Craig's shoulders. I don't think she'd ever been that high before. :)
Just being silly.
Miles definitely got the Bowler tongue.
How is she so tall and grown up already?!
"FUDGE!" She missed her shot.

Oak Glen, CA

One of my favorite places to go when I was little was to Oak Glen. Whenever I get the chance, I love taking my kids there now.

My little tough guy wasn't so tough around these big bad goats. :)
My animal lover loved the petting zoo!
My cute little sister, and my cute Paisley.

How do you like that sign?
Me with my mom and sisters, Letti and Sydney.
Nan and Pops with 8/17 of their grandkids.
Of course we ended our trip with some yummy apple treats from one of the bakeries. No pictures of that. We were were too busy eating. :)

8. Happily working on her personal progress goals.

12. Will be performing in Seussical Jr. in November.
13. She makes the yummiest cinnamon toast!

I could go on and on about Paige! She is seriously one great kid! I am a little sad that she is growing up so fast, but I love seeing the kind of person she is becoming. She definitely has a quality about her that draws people in and makes them happy to be around her. She is a blessing to our family and I am excited to see how she continues to grow. She is a good example to Zoe and Livee and I already see them wanting to be just like her. Zoe wants her hair fixed the same as Paige and now Livee and Zoe are wearing mismatched socks too. :) I love you Paigee!

*I know this post is a little late. oops! I forgot my camera when she was opening presents. Luckily Aunt Celeste took some. Now I just need to get them. When I do I will add them here.

My Middle School Girls

Yesterday Paige came home from school with a note from the school counselor. This is what it said:
Congratulations! Your child has been nominated by her teachers to be a member of the Welcome Committee. This is an honor, as the teachers are asked to select only 8 students from each grade level that will represent the student body. The selected students will welcome the new students to our school by helping them get their books and ID, giving them a tour of the school and sitting with them at lunch....
Paige was so excited, and I was so pleased too! Out of the entire 8th grade, she was one of 8 chosen by the teachers. How cool is that!!

Today Zoe came home from school with a note from the counselor. It said the same thing!!!
I am so happy with my girls that they have made such a good impression on their teachers.
The Carmack Girls are Representing at NWISD!

The best margherita recipe!

Margherita Pizza
I found the recipe here at The Sisters Cafe.
It is so so so yummy! We have made it twice now. Their pizza dough recipe is the best I've tried too!
Make this!!!

Even my girlies that don't like tomatoes like this pizza. :)

(so does Ezra)
