friends & more

Earlier in May we had some friends from California come visti.  We had a BBQ with them, saw Avengers with them and they stayed over at our house for 3 nights, which we played games each night.  It was a lot of fun!


Paxton, Collin and Angela


Here we are at Airborne again with Maya.  Paxton is getting his groove on.


Paxton and I were dancing in our front room for our morning workout, when this song came on.  Paxton LOVES this song if you can't tell ;)


Paxton is very talented with his tongue, he is always turning it over (I can't do this).


Paxton ready for church!

Happy Mother's Day

We are so lucky to have such wonderful Mom's and for Paxton to have the best Grandma's ever!  We love you both!


I feel so lucky to be a Mom and especially to this little stud. 

He picked up this line from "Brother Bear".  One day I told him he was a stud and so he told me that I was a stud, so I told him "no, tell mom she's gorgeous" and now whenever I call him a stud, he tells me I'm gorgeous.  WHAT A STUD!

Modern Family in Disneyland

Remember back when we went to Disneyland at the end of February??  And we saw Modern Family there filming!  Well the episode has now aired and it was hilarious!  I LOVE this show!

Here is a small clip that cracked me up...
mostly because of this...



If you are interested, is was a great episode...
You can watch the whole episode here:

We saw them at the park when Gloria, Jay and Manny were filming in front of Splash Mountain and when Phil and Cameron go on Thunder Mountain over and over again.

Kid talk

  • Paxton is starting to say things that he shouldn't be doing and then ends it by saying "very bad, bad".  For example, the other day we were outside and he saw an ant on the ground and he said, "Don't touch it, very bad bad".  And when we give him string cheese, he use to choke on it, so now when we give it to him he says "Don't choke on it, very bad bad". 
  • When Paxton drops something or when I do, he says "oopsie daisy".  I don't know where he picked this up from.
  • Lately Paxton has been telling his dad "good job" for different reasons and then he gives him a thumbs up, it's really cute.
  • A few sayings that Paxton will randomly say... "Mom, you're gorgeous", "Chuck-a-rama, I love it!",  and he is always saying, "whatcha doin' mom" (or dad, or whomever).
  • Paxton is allergic to eggs and sometimes we still make things that he can't have, so we tell him that he can't have any because it will make him sick.  The other day we made cookies at my mom's house and as I was eating one he came up to me and said, "cookie, make me sick".
Paxton is talking so much, it's so fun each and everyday to hear what else he remembers or learns.  He's also singing songs a lot more, it's so dang cute.  We love this kid so much, he has such a fun and cute personality!

Just a couple of silly pictures :)

St. George

A couple of weeks ago we made a last minute decision to go to St. George with Jamie, Dan and my parents.  I'm glad they all pushed me to go because we had a blast!  (Not that I didn't want to go, but I had to work).
We caught bugs and a lizard.  Paxton loved being outside looking for lizards, we saw quite a few.

When we caught the lizard, Paxton just wanted to let him go, but the lizard wouldn't go.

Paxton and his Uncle Dano that he loves so much!

We went on a hike at Red Cliffs.  The past 2 times we have come on this hike, it has not been good weather, so we didn't care to walk through the water because it was too cold, but Paxton sure didn't seem to mind.
We got to go on a couple of rides on Papa's nice bike, it was a lot of fun.  Paxton sure loved it, the first time we took him out he had his arms up in the air, yelling "wahoo"!

On one of the days we called our friends up that live their and invited them to go swimming with us.  We figured that they probably never get to go swimming because they have a 3 year old and 3 one year olds!  It was so much fun, we had 6 adults to 5 kids.
This is Amelia.


 Jamie and Dan underwater, ha ha!
This is Emmett, he didn't like the water so much, so he chilled over here most of the time.
Madison LOVED the water, I know it doesn't look like it in this picture, but she was kicking her legs and splashing.  I didn't get a picture of Jocelyn, she liked the water too.
This is Anjie and I didn't get a great picture of Lyndon, but he came too.  It was a lot of fun!
Then the next day they babysat Paxton for us while we went to the temple.  I felt bad asking them to babysit, but they are the only ones we know that live in St. George.  Anjie is an amazing mom, she had everything under control and Paxton had fun playing with Amelia.

Here is a video of a few things we did in St. George...

Jamie took tons more pictures than I did, so to see more you can click here and here.

Happy Easter

On Easter morning, we went into Paxton's room telling him that the Easter Bunny came and left some eggs.  He sat right up and with a big smile on his face, said "candies"  "in my mouth".  He knew that those words meant he got candy.  He loved finding his eggs and would shake each one to make sure there was candy in it.  We let him eat a few pieces before breakfast.



These pictures were taken after church.  He was in such a silly mood.  He was yelling at people across the street.

Then later we went to my Grandma's house for dinner with some of my cousins.  After dinner we walked over to the park.

My cousin Lizzie came over to the park a little later to play and once Paxton said Hi to her, he couldn't stop and he just wanted to do everything with her, it was so cute!

It's about time!

I've been meaning to do this forever! 

I have a very talented husband and I helped him start this blog a while ago to display some of his artwork.  Take a look... 


This is on display at Brighton High School!

Rem got a fun new toy called a Wacom Tablet for Christmas.  He's been loving drawing pictures on it, it's way cool!

We are excited that Rem has been accepted to the University of Utah to finish up his Bachelors Degree!
