Paxton's "Firsts" & Summer Update

This summer has been filled with fun! Many of our fun things we have done have been Pax's "first" experience. Here are some of them:

1st trip to Jackson Hole: We ate yummy food, saw daddy's rapids he always talks about from his youth floating trip, saw a fake buffalo, and played with antlers

1st and 2nd (and many more to come) 4-wheeler rides and camping: Pax loved it and has fallen asleep everytime. We are so glad he likes it and look foward to many many more trips. He had fun camping but wanted to play on the ground in the dirt.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd haircuts: the first 2 weren't much to talk about. The 3rd hair cut I chopped it all off and gave him a buzz for the summer. I can still give him a little mohawk and I am shocked at how fast his hair has grown.
3rd Haircut: Lots of hair short little mohawk

1st Trip to Bear Lake: we had lots of fun at Chad's family reunion. It was different having kids there, but pax loved it 1st real boat ride: Pax rode on the boat in Bear Lake. Had lots of fun but hated the life vest 1st Snowcone: loved it... big surprise!

1st time crawling and standing up to everything: Pax is crawling on all fours at Mach speed. He is standing up to everything and walking around furniture with support. If the bathroon door is open he makes a bee line for it... for some reason he loves to stand next to the tum. LOOK @ those fat rolls... he has even slimmed down since he has been crawling!
1st and many trips to the zoo
1st swimming lessons
1st Real Foods: Pax is loving all the real food he gets now. We haven't found anything he won't eat. Hopefully it stays that way!

Mac n' Cheese is yummy

We have had such a fun summer. We just got back from Smiley Creek (by Redfish Lake) where we spent the weekend with Chad's high school friends and their wives. This was our 3rd year of doing this and it was fun. Pax came along and loved the dogs... Carly please e-mail me the pictures of Pax with Emri!

Chad starts school in a week and a half, so our summer is coming to an end. It goes by way to fast. Also, I forgot to brag... Chad got on "A" in A & P this summer! Everyone who has taken this class knows that that is AMAZING! Good Job Hun!

Pax is almost one... I can't believe it. He is talking more and more and getting around so well. He is such a good natured baby and seldom cries. He is starting to throw fits if we take something away, but we think its adorable!
