Paxton's 1st Birthday!

Paxton woke up on his birthday not feeling good. We went to my moms and he threw up all over himself and we had to give him a bath and wash his clothes. He just wanted to sit with daddy.

This is my dad decorating Paxton's birthday cake. He is so amazing at decorating cakes.

Here are the finished products. Spongebob for everyone to eat and a little Patrick just for Paxton. Arent they so cute!

This is Paxton checking out all of his presents before he opened them.

Here is Paxton deciding that after he saw the other kids hitting the pinata that he wanted to give it a try.

Paxton sporting his new sunglasses that his grammy gave him. He is such a stud.

All of the kids were fighting over who could help him open his presents.

This is Paxton's first four wheeler that mommy and daddy bought for him. Now he can be just like Dad. It is battery powered and he loves to make it go.

Paxton ready to blow out his candle. Or should we say he tried to touch it and almost burned his hand.

Here he is enjoying his cake. He really wasnt as messy with it as I thought he would of been.

He got a really cute Handy Manny toy that all of the kids were fighting over.

Here he is pushing his new lawn mower. He actually got two lawn mowers. One that blows bubbles and one that just makes noise. He had a great birthday and I cant believe my little boy is one. Thanks everyone!

My new toys!

I have been begging Brandon for weeks for a jogging stroller. I told him thats what I really wanted for mothers day. But they are so freaking expensive. So we have been searching on ksl everyday for the last 3 weeks. And yesterday I found this red and gray one for a really good price and Brandon said he would call on it. He said he was on his way to buy it and the lady called and said she just sold it. So I was so bummed. An hour later I got on ksl again and there was another stroller that had only been on 4 minutes. I hurried and called Brandon and he said he would call. I checked a little while later and it said sold. I was so bummed. And then I got a text while I was at work and it was a picture of this jogging stroller and it said I love you! I was so excited I couldnt wait to get home from work and try it out. This stroller is like brand new it is so nice and it has speakers and I just plug my ipod in and it plays through the speakers. It also counts how far I have gone while I am out. I love it! Thanks so much babe!

Brandon also let me go last night and get a new heart rate monitor for working out. I have been wanting one really bad and it also counts the calories I am burning.

Easter and Walking

This cute little toy Paxton got from Brandon's parents. He loves it so much. It also turns into a standing toy that he pushes around the house.

This is Paxton on Easter morning. He had so much fun looking to see what the Easter bunny brought him. He loved shaking the eggs and hearing them make noise.

Paxton helped dye Easter eggs with daddy and mommy. Even though I had to help him and he didnt know what he was doing he still had so much fun.

They didnt turn out as great as I thought they would but it was still alot of fun.

We went to Brandon's parents on Easter night. This is Paxton with his uncle Eric who just turned 16 and got a new truck. He would dance everytime Eric would turn on the music.

This is Paxton walking to daddy. He started walking over the weekend he thinks he is such a big boy now. I have gotten it on video but I was having some problems uploading.

Crawling out the doggy door

Brandon was outside barbecuing and Paxton wanted to go outside with him. I thought for sure he couldn't fit through but before I knew it he was almost all the way out the door. And as soon as we pulled him out and set him down. He crawled right over to the doggy door and tried it again. Little stink!

Worst Mom Award

So I seriously feel like the worst mom. Today I went over to a friends house and I brought Paxton with me. She had her fireplace on and I didn't think anything of it. I put Paxton down and walked over to the kitchen and put my stuff down. And before I know it Paxton is crying and I look over and he is sitting next to the fireplace. I knew instantly that he had touched the glass. I walked over and his hand was bright red and he was shaking it crying. I immediately ran it under cold water and that seemed to calm him down. But he decided he didn't want me running it under water anymore. I tried to get him to hold a cold rag but he refused. He just kept looking at me and crying and saying mama. So I got some burn ointment and stuff to wrap his hand. He doesn't like it but hasn't figured out how to take it off. I tried to put him down for a nap and he just cried. He has blisters on his palm where he touched the glass. I feel so bad how could I have been so dumb to not think about the fireplace!! So I have spent the rest of the day holding him and loving him because that is all he wants. He gets down to crawl and puts pressure on his hand and then lifts it up and cries. I wish I could take away the pain I know how bad a burn hurts and that makes me feel so much worse.

Im growing up!

So Brandon and I went to Carls Jr over the weekend and Paxton didn't want to sit in his high chair. So I went over and got a booster chair and put it right next to Brandon and Paxton loved it. He thought he was such a big boy sitting at the table with us.
This is Colton who comes over with his family to my mom's house every Sunday and loves to play with Paxton. So we put Paxton in the little wheelbarrow and Colton pushed him around. Paxton had so much fun.
Now Paxton is starting to be a pain to take places. Everywhere we go he wants to get down. When we go to the mall he wants out of his stroller and when we went to costco he wanted out of the cart. He was holding on to the bottom and pushing the cart all by himself. Which I am impressed because it is pretty heavy.



So Paxton pushes everything around. He is so close to walking but is way to nervous to do it by himself. Which I guess is good that he is so cautious. But seriously I have been having some serious melt downs because I cant believe how much Paxton is growing up. And needing me less and less.

Fun with Dad!

We went to Brandon's parents house on Sunday for birthday dinners. And Brandon put Paxton on his shoulders and he loved it. He wouldn't let us get him down. But he kept putting his hands in Daddy's eyes and pulling on his eyelids. So no more of that.
I love this picture Paxton totally looked like he was helping blow out the candles. But in reality Brandon was holding him back because he kept trying to grab the candles while they were still lit.
He loves cake so much. But he makes the biggest mess. I cant wait til his birthday next month when I let him go at his own cake.
He is becoming less and less of a mommas boy. Every time I try and hold him and cuddle him this is what he does. He just squirms until I let him down. It breaks my heart I cant believe he is getting so big.
Here he is and he won I let him down. Hes totally fine as long as I'm letting him do what he wants to do.
