11 months old

Just started standing up on his own without grabbing onto anything.

Swings with cousin Jake

I know this picture is blurry, but I love it.  Paxton is such a good brother and is learning how to play with Graham.  He loves him so much and is always telling him so.  

New jammies all the way from Australia!  Thanks aunt Sara and uncle Ryan!

Graham found one of my headbands, I put it on him and he just left it there for quite a while.

Rem reminded us of the earthquake drill.  Paxton was in the basement so I yelled down to him "pretend earthquake!"  Graham and I got under the kitchen table and then I went down to Paxton and talked to him about earthquakes and where the best place to duck and cover would be.  He first started to run upstairs, so we had to talk about why he couldn't do that.  Then the rest of the day Pax would randomly yell out "earthquake!"

-Pax and his buddy Grady love to play in the dirt for hours!  I don't think I'll plant anything in this pot this year, because this is their favorite spot to play.

-Pax is such a good cousin to Jake.

Paxton brought home these papers from church to color while watching General Conference.  Well as you can see I benefited the most from them.  They helped me stay awake and pay attention, which was great because there were some very good talks that I needed to hear.  Love conference!

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt

They had a limit on how many eggs they could find.  Paxton was having so much fun that he kept going so we had to make him put back several eggs.

St. George!

We went over Easter weekend with my whole family except for Jamie, Dan and Lucy.  It was a short and fun trip, but I don't know I will do Easter weekend there again unless we can stay longer, it was just super busy!

We had a fun time doing the Red Cliffs hike.  Paxton was a champ and did the whole thing by himself.  Pax, Rem and I had fun walking through the water.

Paxton always finds a good stick to carry around as his weapon.

When we got back, he zonked out!

Then later on we took them to the river walk.  Graham didn't care for it too much, I think the water was too cold.  But Paxton loved it!  I could barely catch a picture of him because he was running all over the place.

Easter time

After church we had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids (mostly Paxton).

Grandma got them new outfits.

Learning how to shoot a cup with a BB gun.  He was in heaven and he actually shot it!

St. George was such a short trip, that we never found time to color the eggs.  So after preschool, we took our eggs and stuff with us to color them with Maya and her mom Kristi (my cousin).  Kristi and I enjoyed it much more than the kids did.  The came and colored a couple, but didn't have the patience for it, they just wanted to play.

Preschool Field Trip

to Red Butte Gardens

Meet Parker, our new nephew.  Rems brother, Randy and Kelsey just had their first baby.  He is so adorable!  We are so excited for them!

Graham didn't seem so much like a baby anymore next to Parker.
