Paxton's school field trip

Paxton has a school field trip to the farm. They went around to several stations and learned all about animals and crops and how they go from the farm to the store. 

Graham got to go early birthday shopping with Grandma! He was so excited and came back with tons of toys!! She spends a certain amount on the kids and because they went shopping at toys r us (the store was closing) everything was discounted so he got a lot!

Las Vegas

Rem had a work conference in Vegas for a week over Graham’s birthday so we decided to join him. We had an awesome room with a great view at the Palazzo. 

Because Rem was there for work, the boys and I had to find things to do during the day. One of the days I took them to see the Hoover Dam.  They didn’t seem too interested, but it still was a good day and it was impressive, I had never seen it before. 

Happy birthday to Graham! He turned 5 while we were in Vegas. I took the kids to the Springs Preserve. The best part was getting a geode to bust open. It was a hot day so we tried staying inside the museums. 

This brownie was served to him with his breakfast, haha!

 Then for dinner we met up with dad and Graham wanted to eat by the pirate ships (Treasure Island was across the street).  

We ate at Senor Frogs and Graham and Paxton got some fun Star Wars balloons. 

The next day we went and picked up some lunch and headed to a splash pad park. We had it to ourselves most of the time we were there. We brought some of Graham’s presents with us to play with. The kids had a blast and could’ve lasted a lot longer, but I was done with the 100 degree heat so we went back to the hotel to relax. 

Paxton’s special day

It was a bit crazy getting back from Vegas on a Friday and the next day Paxton was baptized. I can’t believe this kid is already 8! I’m so proud of him for making the decision to wanting to be baptized. And he was baptized on his Grandma’s birthday with two of his cousins!  I would say, a very memorable day!

We had a pretty large group of people, but we all fit in one room to watch all three boys be baptized.  The spirit was strong and I was so grateful to see my husband baptize Pax.  He looked so handsome in his suit and I love the pictures we got of the three boys at This is the Place taken by my sister of course. 

Afterwards we served some light refreshments and enjoyed chatting with family and friends.  The kids sure loved running around and hanging out with their cousins.  I sure was grateful to plan this baptism with my sister in laws who have done this before, it made it much easier to plan!

Happy Mother’s Day
I sure love these boys of mine and am so lucky to be their mom!  They were very good to me today and gave me flowers and helped serve me.  I always love the papers they fill out in primary about me!

I'm also very lucky to have such an amazing mom!  I look up to her in so many ways, she is such a great example of being an amazing mom and I hope I can follow in her footsteps in raising these boys.

Graham's last soccer game

Graham loves soccer and got to play this spring. He actually improved from last year and was one of the better ones on the team. Although he was a little too polite on the field sometimes, but he did make one goal!!Go team Triceratops!

Harley!

We got to go help grandma Moss go pick up her new puppy, which meant we got to play with about 8 puppies while we waited for her to get the 411 on raising a puppy. They were crazy and kept biting my toes and climbing all over me, but it sure was a lot of fun! 

Meet Harley!

Graham’s Preschool Graduation 
Graham loved his dance preschool, even though there was only one other boy in his class.  I don't think he even really noticed though.  Graham is such a good friend to all.  He did so much better at his Graduation than I thought he would.  I could actually hear him singing the songs (probably because he was about a half a second behind everyone else).  He did such a great job and I am so proud of him!  He also looked very cute in that red cap and gown!

Park City and the Cabin

We went to the Olympic Park in Park City and Paxton did the ropes coarse with Paxton. He seemed pretty confident starting out, but quickly got nervous and then soon broke down. But there was no way down than you just had to finish. They had a worker that came and helped him through some of it. I’m so proud of him for finishing it and conquering his fear!

Then we headed to the cabin for dinner and games. Rem and Graham were not with us because graham was sick. So Paxton stayed and slept over and then the next day graham was doing better so we all went up for a yummy BBQ. 

We love being with family!

End of the school year activities. 

I joined Paxton for his fit and fun run. I can’t decide if I slow him down or if he needs the motivation to keep going. 

Pax did mall day twice this year. This time I helped Paxton put together these decorative blocks. He sold out pretty quick!
