Too cute to scold

Lilo has had 2 baths within just a few days this week and this is why...

 She LOVES the mud!

Paxton Steele

This is our birth announcements that we sent out...

My cousin took the pictures for us, they turned out sooo cute!

Paxton was naked most of the time for pictures and he peed on us twice!  Once when Remi was holding him, but he was able to face him towards the window, so he peed all over the window.  It was hilarious!  Easier to clean up off the window than the carpet.  And then he peed once on me and got me good to the point that I had to change everything  on top including my bra! 

Grandpa's and Grandma's are the BEST

Grandma Cindy

Grandma Moss loves me so much!  I love to go hangout with her while my Mom works.

Grandpa Moss likes to come visit whenever he can and he makes lots of silly faces at me!

Grandma Sorenson

Great Grandma Moss

She gave me this cute St. Patrick's day outfit.

Grandpa Moss and Paxton in their matching church clothes.  This was Paxton's first day to church and he did so good!  Slept almost the whole time and didn't even cry.

Great Grandma Hughes

I love Paxton's face in this one with his eyes open :)

Grandpa Sorenson tickling my feet.

Grandma Sorenson loves to hold me and give me lots of loves!

Great Grandma Soderberg (Mindy's side)

Grandma Cindy loves to make me smile and tell me jokes.

Aunt Erika, Grandma Moss and Grandpa Moss love to take so many pictures of me!

I LOVE YOU!

All of my grandparents love to hold me as much as they can.  I love them all so much!  Hugs & Kisses

Baby Conversations

It's about time I get these pictures posted.  These are the ones of my cousin's baby-Sam.  They had the exact same outfit.  Good thing we took the pictures when we did because Paxton has already out grown his.  Sam wasn't too sure of Paxton, it was really funny to watch them together.

So now you have two families...

Once there were two expectant mothers.

One carried and cared for you beneath her beating heart

She became your Birthmother.

The other carried the hope of you within her.

She became your Mom.

As the days passed, and you grew bigger and stronger,

Your Birthmother knew that she could not give you all you needed after

your birth.

Meanwhile, your Mom was ready and waiting for you.

One day your Birthmom and your Mom found each other.

They looked into each other’s eyes and saw a friend.

Your Birthmom saw the life your Mom could give you.

Your Mom saw how much your Birthmom loved and cared for you.

They decided that what you needed was both kinds of love in your life.

So now you have two families,

One by birth, the other by adoption.

And you have a home where you can get:

your questions answered,

your boo boos bandaged,

your heartaches soothed,

And much needed hugs.

And a place where you can find:

answers to your questions,

your image in the mirror,

a part of yourself,

And much needed hugs.

Two different kinds of families

Two different kinds of love

Both a part of you.

We went out to dinner tonight with Our Ciara, her sweet Addison and Crazy Grandma Cindy ;)  It was so nice to see them again, we all had a good time catching up.  I love this poem so much because I feel like it was written just for us.  I cry everytime I read it.  We have such a special place in our hearts for Our Ciara, WE LOVE YOU!  She is amazing (and don't you think she looks awesome for having a baby 1 month ago!)  We will see you again soon!

Paxton LOVES his Crazy Grandma Cindy!!  He was being so smiley with her.

Sweet Addison

Remi and Addison played together while the rest of us were talking.  They were so cute together!

Bubbles for Bubbles

Lilo's nickname is Bubbles and we started calling her this even before we figured out that she LOVES bubbles!  Yesterday we were with Remi's family for dinner and Lilo was our entertainment.  Everyone loved watching her go crazy after the bubbles.

Enjoy this video!

Our cute niece and nephews helping blow the bubbles.  I love this picture!

 And I can't leave Paxton out of this post :)  Daddy and Paxton were twinners yesterday, so cute!  We just had to take some pictures.  He is starting to stay awake a lot more now, it's so fun to watch him!

jumped the gun

I was just so excited to get his 1 month pictures done that I jumped the gun :)  He was only 4 weeks old. 

Today he is officially 1 month old!

Happy 1 month old buddy, sure LOVE you!
