Free To Play

Paxten is a very smart kid! He knows that when Parker and Paige are at school, he has free reign over the house and all their toys. No one is there to tell him "NO." As was the case this particular day. I was in the living room holding Pieper and realized that the house was very quiet, which can mean mischief. So I went throughout the house searching for Paxten to see what he was into. I walked into the doorway of Paige's room and found the little guy in her bed, playing with her iPad. When he realized I was looking at me he shot me this look like, "oh you caught me, but isn't this fun!" It was pretty cute because he looked guilty, but he knew I wouldn't care and Paige wasn't around to get mad at him. I think he likes the few hours he has the house pretty much to himself!

Funny Kid

Paxten snuck next door to my parents the other day. They had just cooked some chicken on the grill and asked Paxten if he wanted some. He said no. While he was there he ate some tootsie rolls that were on the kitchen table. He then went outside for a little while. He went back inside a while later while my mom was doing the dishes and cleaning up from dinner. Paxten grabbed the rest of the tootsie rolls that were on the table (5 or 6) and my mom said to him, "What will grandma eat if you eat those all gone." He replied, "Chicken." He didn't miss a beat. It was pretty funny! He would rather eat candy than anything healthy. My kids is a sugar monster!

Pretty Please

Paxten in quite the character in our house. He is very energetic and an all around BOY! He loves to run, jump, climb, and get into mischief like any other typical little boy. He tries to do things his older brother does, and sometimes his older brother tries to get him to do things that even he wouldn't do. He makes me laugh and smile every single day. Right now he knows exactly what to do to get what he wants. He puts his little fists up to his mouth and scrunches up his little face while he says, "Pretty please" but is sounds like, "pitty peez" it is just so darn cute and it gets me every time. "Pitty peez can I stay," "mommy choc milk pitty peez."  Whatever he wants, all he has to do is look at me with those blue eyes while holding up his little fists and say pitty peez and I pretty much give in. How can I not, look at this cute little face. I doesn't just affect me, Matt and my mom succumb to the asking as well. He has us wrapped around his little finger, and he knows it and uses it to his advantage. He is one smart 2 year old!

Paxten and his Nose

I am seriously going to try and get this blog updated before #4 arrives! It may take me a while, but it will evetually happen!


Paxten has this fascination with his nose for some reason. I am not sure if it is just a boy thing, or if his nose is constantly bugging him. Either way, the majority of the time when I look at my sweet little boy this is what I see! I am constantly telling him to get his finger out of his nose. He laughs and thinks it is funny! The worst part is when he actually manages to get something and then before I can grab him a tissue he puts it in his mouth and says, "yummy" What a gross little boy!! I sure hope that this little "habit" passes and he isn't a serious nose picker for the rest of his life! He can get away with it now while he is little and cute, but soon it wont be that way! My silly boy!

Fabulous

We are getting excited to go on out trip to Disneyland and I have been preparing for a little while now. I was cleaning out the van trying to figure out how I was going to pack all our stuff and have room for Matt's parents things as well. While I was cleaning I found a mirror that you put on the front of a seat to allow the driver to see the baby in the back seat. Paige grabbed the mirror and started looking at herself in it while I was cleaning out some other stuff. After a few minutes she said to me, "Mom, can we take this mirror to Disneyland so I can look in it and see how fabulous I am!" I was quite shocked that this had come out of her mouth and it took me a few seconds before I started laughing. What got me was she said it like it was nothing, and she used the word in the correct usage and everything! Where does she get this stuff?? She is my most confident, hilarious child. She is often the comic relief in our family and she makes me laugh every day with the things she says. I truly do think she is fabulous!

Paige's New Clothes

I took the kids to Walmart the day before Parker started school to get some new clothes. Talk about procrastination! Here are the outfits Paige picked out and her beautiful modeling skills. She cracks me up!! I also love the fact that she is proud that she got ne clothes from Walmart. That won't last forever, gotta love it while I can!!

Hair-do's

I have been doing Paige's hair since she was just little and I could barely get littl pigtails in on top of her head. Some days she is really good about letting me do her hair, and some days not so much. I have tried several differnt style on her, but decided to do something new the other day. It wasn't anything special just parted down the middle with 3 elastics goin back on each side into a pigtail. I told he I tried something different and when she looked in the mirrow at it she said, "mom, your really getting good a doing my hair!" it was so funny, that this particular style got such a reaction from her. She even had to come back in the bathroom a few minutes later to look at it again. And the next day she asked me to do the same style as yesterday. Who knew such a simple thing could make her so happy. I am glad I am finally "getting the hang of it" after 4 years!
