St George with the girls.

We had so much fun on our girls trip to St George. It was much needed even though I missed Paxton and Brandon. We did hair, facials, and nails.

All of us going to go shopping and out to lunch after we worked out hard at the gym that morning.

Pigging out on our Arbys. None of us watched what we ate while we were gone. We pigged out the whole weekend it was great!

After lunch we went to the mall and each of us picked out 2 prom dresses for eachother to try on. It was so much fun. Although I didnt post the funniest picture of us because it is really inmodest and because Teresa would kill me.

We went hot tubbing both nights we were there. It was great to just relax.

On our way home we stopped in Beaver and got icecream and took pictures in this big chair. Dont we look like a bunch of tourists? Well the trip was so much fun and I cant wait to do it again soon.

Who gave you a sucker?

Well I took Paxton with me to the bank and I always let him have a sucker. He always does really well with it so I wasnt worried. We got home and he had been rubbing it in his hair and all over his face and clothes. He was so sticky. It was all over his carseat what a mess. I had no choice but to go in and give him a bath. Oh well boys will be boys!

Ok here we go 2010! I am super excited for this year. Although I think my new years resolutions list is a little bigger this year. For starters I have put on a few pounds during the holidays so back on the band wagon for that. My goal is to get back into shape. Because I have to say since my half marathon I have kind of let myself slide and I can totally tell. Im getting a little flabby and my clothes fit a little tighter and I am out of breath a little easier when working out. I dont want all of my hard work from 2009 to go to waste. Also I would like to be a little more on top of things this year. I am the worst at letting laundry stack up. Then when I get around to it, it takes me 2 days just to catch up. So I am going to be better at that. Next my goal is to at least cook dinner 4 or 5 times a week. Brandon works a ton of hours so the least I can do is have dinner ready for him when he gets home. Im not promising anything great will be cooked since I suck at it an absolutely hate to cook. Then I need to catch up on Paxton's scrapbook. I used to be really good at it and now I hate to say I am about 8 months behind. Im old school and love to add my little touches to his pictures otherwise I could say myself alot of time and just do books on the computer. And last but not least I want to finish the book of mormon by april conference. The bishop had given everyone in our ward a challenge to finish it by then and thats my goal. I just have a feeling 2010 is going to be an amazing year.

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Paxton was so excited to open all of his presents. It started out Christmas eve with our traditional opening new pajamas. My camera battery died so I dont have our traditional picture of Brandon's whole family in matching pajamas. But since Brandon's sister is living in New York we all had matching I Love NY shirts and black and red striped pajama pants. It was so cute. Paxton made this face while he was opening each present and then he would say "wow."

It did take us a little while to open presents because he liked to rip off little pieces of wrapping paper at a time. And then he would want us to take the toys out of the box so he could play with it right that second.

He loves trucks and cars and pushes them around saying "vroom vroom."

Paxton also got a basketball hoop and he loves daddy to play with him.

He was so spoiled by all of the grandparents and aunts and uncles. My parents gave him this cute tool set. It has a drill, hammer, screwdrivers, saw and bolts. He loves to drill the bolts into the top.

Every Christmas morning my mom makes a huge breakfast and has everyone over. The food is amazing and she only makes most of the foods once a year. Paxton really enjoyed himself and also being the center of attention at the table. What a cheeseball!

Later that night paxton decided to finish opening his presents from grandma and grandpa. We were all waiting patiently for our turn to talk to my brother Derek. Who is serving a mission in Houston, Texas. It was so great to hear from and I miss him so much. Although I am proud to say I held it all together and didnt cry once. Unlike last Christmas where I balled my eyes out after I hung up the phone. Also that means he only has 9 months left!

While all of the commotion was going on I caught my brother Garet playing with Paxton's toys. He says he was just testing things out but I know that he really was playing with it. Ha ha

Brandon's grandma sent Paxton a package from Florida. One of the presents was this little remote control winnie the pooh car. He loves to drive it all over the hard wood floor. He even ran it into the dog dish and spilled all of the food. Well that about sums it up. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a great New Year!

Where was Daddy?

So I have been really sick since Saturday. I mean really sick. I have not left my bed. I have to crawl to the bathroom and then I just crawl right back to bed. Thanks to my mom and Brandon I havent changed a diaper or fed my little boy. ( which isnt always a good thing I have missed doing the little things) I have barely got to hug him or love him. When Brandon was at work my mom watches him. Brandon has been so sweet to cater on every need I may have. But sometimes daddys dont watch little boys too closely. I told Brandon to check on Paxton because he was being awfully quiet and sure enough Paxton was standing on the bathroom counter and was playing with my mascara. He has this fettish with getting into my makeup. Luckily today I did get out of bed but only because I have been loaded up on drugs. I got to spend time with Paxton which I loved. Hopefully I will feel much better by new years so I can pig out on everything yummy. Well I will post Christmas pics when I am feeling better.

Greatest Invention

Ok so I have decided I should design a time out chair with a seat belt. Whats the point of a time out chair when they can just climb off of it. And I dont want to lock him in his room because then he will associate his room with time out and he loves to play in his room. So Im off to design that this week so Paxton cant get off the chair and run around when he is in trouble. I will post pictures as soon as I am finished. (Ha ha Im really serious!)

New pics

A cute lady in our ward took Paxton's pictures last week. And she did a great job, and Paxton was horribly naughty so thanks Tomi for getting some great pics anyway.
