Happy Birthday Pax!

I'm staying up way past my bedtime thinking about where I was last year at this time. I was laying comfortably (maybe that's an exaggeration, I should say "painlessly") in my hospital bed getting ready to start pushing. At 2:45 a.m. Paxton was born. He weighed 6 lbs 11 oz and was 19 inches long. I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was a day I had looked forward to for 9 long months: I finally got to meet my lil' guy! He was so perfect and I couldn't believe the love that I had for him immediately, it was so overwhelming. I can't believe he is 1! Such a bittersweet moment for me. I miss the little baby that would snuggle with me for hours, but I love the fun, curious little toddler he is becoming. I love being a mom so much- He makes it so easy fun and easy. I couldn't have asked for a better baby! I love you, Pax... more than you will ever know! More pictures of Pax's 1st year to come later today!

P.S. Pax took his first official steps the day before his first birthday. He even waited till Chad and I were both home from school and work to do it. He only takes about 3 to 6 steps each time and is very wobbly, but he is on his way to running! (Sorry, turn your heads so you can see this. I don't know how to turn it around)

A year ago....

I looked like this:


A year ago I was patiently (somewhat) waiting to be induced. They canceled my first induction (which was scheduled for Friday). I was heartbroken I had to wait over the weekend. Pax was well worth the added 5 days!
Tune in Wednesday for a look at Paxton's 1st year!

Bath Fun

This weekend Wynn, Lindsay, and Chandler came to visit. We had so much fun. The dads played racquetball and watched BYU, while the moms went shopping! We wish they lived closer so we could hang out more often! Thanks guys for coming and visiting.

Pictures of Pax

Our awesome babysitter, Jamie, took some cute pictures of Pax while we went to the temple. Isn't she awesome?? She is quite talented and she's 15! I love them!


I Hope They Call Me on a Mission....

Just like my Daddy!
Chad brought this shirt home from his mission for our nephews.
They were so sweet to pass it on to Pax.
He looks like such a big boy in it!
