a few things...

Wow, it's been a while since I have blogged!  I have been totally addicted to digital scrapbooking.   One day I decided that I needed to try and get caught up with my scrapbooks (seems impossible, right?)  Well I'm not caught up yet, and it'll still be a while coming, but I have gotten a ton done!

2011

 I first started our 2011 book and I have scrapbooked January through June is done!

 2009

Then I started our 2009 book and I am almost done!  I mainly just have to do some journaling on a few pages about our adoption journey and design a couple more pages on our Disneyland vacation, then I will be done and I can order my book!  I can't believe I did a whole years worth in a little over a month, that would have never happened with the traditional scrapbooking.  I am LOVING this digital stuff!

So sorry that I have neglected the blog.

Here are a few things we have been up to lately...

Lots of Swimming...

 This is with my friend Jackie from work and her little boy, Issac.

 

 GG's Pool Party with the cousins.  I wish I was a little quicker with the camera that day, cuz Paxton and Maya gave eachother a kiss.  And then later Paxton totally dunked Maya, just took her head and pushed it under the water.  Maya didn't even cry, she just had a look on her face like 'what the heck?'  Paxton calls Maya 'Mia'.

We also went to Jungle Jims!

 Paxton hated the swings and the carrousel.  Most everything else he did pretty good on as long as daddy was riding with him.  I don't think we will be going to Lagoon anytime soon.

 We have had a few BBQ's, some with friends and some just grilling for our own dinner with veggies straight from our garden.

Paxton trying to eat the yellow pepper.  He kept calling it an apple.

The aprons are from my Grandma.  My Grandpa and Dad use to wear them.   They say Father and Son on them.

This was the best dinner ever!  Fresh corn and peppers on a shiskabob from our garden.  YUM! 

We went to the Zoo with Aunt Jamie and my friend Renee and her two kids.

Jamie took all the pictures so to view more, click here.

 We also went to Uncle Dan's Graduation.  He graduated from BYU, way to go!

Paxton doesn't know how to sit still, so we did a lot of walking the halls.  Once again, Jamie has all the pictures, so to view more you can click here.

Well that's it for now.  I will try not to neglect the blog, but I can't make any promises.

just some silliness

Paxton knows that when he puts this on it makes us laugh!

The other morning I went to get Paxton up and I found him like this, with no shirt on.

Warning:  This video is very long, but I just thought it was cute.  He thinks it's so funny when you copy cat him and I just love his laugh.

Tonight as I was writing this post there was a huge thunder storm that woke up Paxton.  As I went in to go get him, he was sitting up in his crib and he pointed at his window and said, "noisy, noisy".  It was so cute, he wasn't even scared. 

This kid makes us smile and laugh everyday, he is so funny!

The Mayan Adventure

So my little sister just turned 18, CRAZY!  Well we went to the Mayan to celebrate, which Paxton loved the atmosphere there.  And my other sister Jamie is getting into photography and she has this cute nephew that she likes to take pictures of, so to see more click here.

Paxton is the center of attention at every family party on my side.  Everyone loves him so much and practically fights for him.  It's so fun to watch him interact with everyone.

A day out with the Aunties!

 Paxton loves his Aunt Jamie and Aunt Erika (KaKa)!  He is so lucky to have them as Aunts because they LOVE him so much!

A couple of weeks ago on a Saturday when his Daddy decided to go golfing and I was working, Jamie and Erika took Paxton to Thanksgiving Point to ride the pony.  I guess he didn't like it very much.  To see more pictures go here.
