Playing Catch Up

Yes I know all the way back to Halloween. 

We dressed up as pirates for my Grandma's Annual Halloween Party.  To see more pictures of the party, click here.

Jamie & Dan and my parents all came over on Halloween for dinner and Trick or Treating.  I think my Dad was more excited to go Trick or Treating than Paxton was.

My Dad let us use a bunch of Halloween decor he had from last year, so we decorated our porch all spooky.  We had a fog machine and scary sounds.

And of course... Jack Skellington.

 

The rest of these pictures are all random and out of order...

One day I was doing laundry and I didn't have really any clean clothes for Paxton so I saw this frog costume in his closet and asked him if he wanted to be a frog for the day.  He loved it, he kept hopping around the house saying 'ribbit'.  He even took a nap as a frog, it was so cute.

Paxton likes to try on our shoes.                                                 One day we were working out in the

                                                                                                     backyard and we didn't realize how

                                                                                                     dirty Paxton was getting.  He was

                                                                                                    having a good time!

One night we went to a friends house for dinner and these three boys were so cute together.  They kept getting up from this ledge and switching seats, they thought it was so fun.

I found Paxton and Lilo watching Barney together one day.  It was so cute to see these two together, especially with Paxton petting Lilo.  They are such good buddies.

A couple of weeks ago Paxton got 2 ear infections!  He loved taking his medicine and would keep asking for more, so I would fill it up with water instead.

Paxton all bundled up to go outside with Daddy.                      I love these boys!

Silly smile

Paxton LOVES his Papa!  When Papa is around
that is who he wants the most!

Paxton has had several haircuts but this is the first one we did at the salon.  He did so good sitting there by himself!

It's been a busy couple of months, but we are having fun.  Thanksgiving post to come next... hopefully it will go up before Christmas comes ;)

ABCD...

The other day while Paxton was in the bath I started singing the alphabet and one time I paused in between letters and Paxton surprised me by filling in. 

He kind of knows 'EFG' and 'blahla blah ba T' (aka 'LMNOP').  He's also counting alot.  He doesn't always count in order but he has a few times.  He surprises me every day with how much he is learning.  I love it!

A few other new things I can think of right now that he says...

Dang-it: he'll say this sometimes when he falls down or something.

Cute:  when we go shopping he'll point at things and say cute, I guess I say that alot.

I did it: he'll say this when he learns to do something all by himself, but my favorite is when he pretends to shoot Lilo and Lilo will play dead then he gets all excited and says 'I did it'! 

St. George

About a month ago (I know I know I'm behind on my blogging) we took a short trip to St. George.

We visited our friends that had triplets, they are about 7 months old now.  It was fun to go see them, we took their oldest daughter (about 2 1/2 yrs old) swimming on 2 of the days there.  Paxton was glad to have a friend!

They loved this cool river thing.  There were a lot of kids playing in it, it was fun to walk up and down.

They also played on the splash pad.  They didn't like this as much

Rem and I got to go to Tuachan and see the Little Mermaid, it was amazing!  Paxton wasn't old enough to join us, plus it was his bed time.

Feeding the ducks.

Paxton loves the golf cart, we took lots of rides.  This swimming place was a lot of fun for the kids. See that big yellow bucket at the top of the playground?  Paxton and I got dumped on by that, it was a ton of water!   It surprised us both and Pax didn't like it so much.

We went to Amelia's house to bring dinner one of the days and Amelia was watching a movie when we found that Paxton climbed up to join her, it was cute.

Trying to use chopsticks at dinner.

We had to stop in Scipio on the way home and that goat last time we saw it was just 2 weeks old, it's grown up quite a bit.

Rem tried to pet the llama and it kept spitting on him, so I made him do it again so we could get it on video.

                              

Quack Quack

One fall day Grandma, Paxton and I went down to the duck ponds that are near our home.  Paxton loved seeing the ducks!  Although he wasn't very good about giving them the bread, he wanted to eat it himself.

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!
