Randy & Kelsey's Wedding Day

On October 7, Remi's youngest brother got married. 

They were married in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.

We are so thrilled to have Kelsey in the family!

The reception was at The Woods on Ninth.  I had never been there before it was a really nice place.

Paxton had a blast!  He was being such a goofball and loved just having his freedom to run around and play with his cousins.

This is all of Rem's siblings.  Rachael & Becky are twins (the oldest), then from left to right it goes oldest to youngest:  Ryan, Russel, Rem and Randy.

Here are 9 of the13 grandkids, the other 4 live in Australia.  But we were lucky enough to have Ryan come visit.   Notice Paxton's tie was an adult size, it looked silly tucked in his pants so we just let him wear it extra long.

Me, Becky, Rachael and Russell's wife, Liana.

Paxton getting kisses, he loves the attention.  He kept giving hugs to all the little flower girls.

We are so happy for these two!  It was a beautiful wedding.  (Rem got in on the fun with Paxton and was being a goofball with him).



"I looked out the window...

and what did I see"

This is Lilo's favorite spot on the couch, she always sits here to look out the window.  The other day I found these two cuties looking out the window together.

"we all fall down"

Paxton recently discovered that he likes to turn in circles and get dizzy.  I was glad to catch this on video, he makes me laugh!

A looooong one...

I've been slacking on the blog.  So here is a very long post to catch up...

September 4

For Labor Day we headed up to the cabin with the fam and even some of my cousins.  We had a great time going for a walk, eating a delicious dinner and playing games.

On one Saturday, while I was working, Rem took Paxton to hangout at the Book Festival where Aunt Jamie was working.  Paxton didn't like the characters very well.

On this Sunday we went to the park with my family.  It was so fun hanging out with Paxton, he makes us all laugh.

We went to Discovery Gateway again with our friends Renee, Jack and Kate.  The kids have so much fun here!  I'm sure they would play all day if we let them.

September 17

We went to the BYU vs UTES game.  My Dad gave us tickets to go to the game, we went with Jamie and Dan and my cousins Angie, James, Troy and Melissa.  Yes I wore purple to the game because I really don't care who wins.  Although I do have to say that sitting in the Utes section and hearing all their songs and cheers made it really easy to cheer for them, that's who I grew up cheering for after all.  Well we left the game early because I think you all know why, lots and lots and lots of BYU fans left that game early.  I had a lot of fun sitting with fam and watching the game!

Paxton just loves going to the Zoo so we went with our friends Erin and Harper that live in our neighborhood.

September 24

It was so fun going up to the Olympic Park in Park City.  We enjoyed watching the skiers practice their jumps, walking around the small museum, and going on the zip-line and alpine slide. 

After the Park we went up to the cabin to spend the night.  We went on a nice long four-wheeler ride, saw two moose and enjoyed the colorful mountain with all the leaves changing colors.  Later we had dinner, watched a movie and went to bed.  I love being up at the cabin!

And Paxton LOVES the four-wheelers!

Just hanging out with Maya (who Paxton calls 'Mia').  They kept crawling into the the gross dog kennel, oh well it was cute.

October 1

We had girls night out with Paxton while the guys went to Priesthood session.  I love going to Gardner Village during Halloween time, they decorate it so cute!  It was a great way to start off October and get into the Halloween spirit.

October 4

On Tuesday we finally got into the Halloween spirit at home.  We pulled out all the decorations and Paxton even got some new Halloween jammies.  He calls them his spider jammies.  He loved helping me put out all the pumpkins.  I love the fall and Halloween time.  I love the smells, the decorations, the costumes, the leaves changing colors, just everything.  It's a great time of year!

This is Paxton's AWESOME smile ;)  What a goof ball!

I can't believe how much Paxton is talking now.  It's so fun to watch him growing up and it amazes me how much he remembers and learns everyday.  Some things he is doing right now...

*He is putting 2 and 3 words together now.  Lately he has been asking me to sing songs so he'll say 'animal morning' or 'monkey bed' or 'old horsey'. 

*He also likes to watch movies now.  He asks for 'Dinosaur Movie' or 'Barney'.  Ha ha, Remi hates that I showed him Barney, but I swear it keeps his attention the longest and when I need to take a shower I have to use what works best.  Plus it's so cute to hear him say 'Barney movie, Barney movie, please'.

*He has been super lovey lately, always giving lots of hugs and kisses.

*He knows most of his aunts and uncles names and even some of his cousins.  He knows some of my friends kids names and some of the neighbor girls that babysit every once in awhile.   It just amazes me that he remembers their names even when he doesn't see them very often.

*When he bonks something and hurts himself he says 'kiss it' while pointing to where he got hurt.

*My favorite word he says lately is 'cited!' (excited).  He says it with such enthusiasm. When driving to Grandma's house as we approach the neighborhood he says 'Grandma's house, cited!!'  One morning I told him what we were doing for the day and he put both arms in the air and shook his fists and said 'cited'!!

*He loves music, dinosaurs, watching movies, fruit snacks, tractors, brushing his teeth, Grandma, pickles, being outside, going to the park, books and many more, but these things stand out as favorites right now.

Paxton is always making us laugh and smile, he is so much fun!
