Paxtons 2nd Birthday

Before we left for Disneyland we had a little birthday party for pax because his actual birthday was while we were in Disneyland.

One thing everybody knows about pax is his undying love for CARS i mean he has a car in his hands at ALL TIMES, he sleeps with an armful of them. This is something he has developed on his own you could let him run free in a toy store and he would scan the entire store until he found a car. So no doubt we through him a cars themed birthday party.

He had blast and of course he got new cars sheets and a bed set for his new big boy bed. and uncle mat bought him a slew of hot wheels cars which he LOVES. and aunt tess and uncle dev got him some fun toys too.

This kid has such a fun personality he is very shy and quite just like his dad, but when you can get him going he sure is a character. He is starting to talk a little he says mom and ready set go, but that's about it. This little man has been through allot in his 2 years and one thing i have learned about that is he will take his time and he has been through something very traumatic in his life (his heart surgery) and his doctor told me its very normal for kids to act like this when they have been through something like that. I get lots of grief for him having a binky still and him not talking but i'm very protective of him and i know in time he will become strong and independent and wont need his binky and blankie every where we go.

It hasn't even been a year since his surgery, he is doing remarkable and we will know next month how his heart is doing when he has his check up with his cardiologist.

This little guy has a special place in my heart, he is so strong and shows me everyday how precious life is. he has taught me to slow down and not stress over the small stuff, he has taught me lots and lots of patience. hes my shy little man who LOVES to snuggle and be held he is so sensitive, and i love that about him, he reminds me so much of his daddy. He may not be a rowdy, rambunctious, loud boy but he is my special boy and i'm so proud of him.

Happy 2nd Birthday Paxton

Disneyland Day 1

The first day of Disneyland was spent in just Disneyland.

obviously my kids were VERY overwhelmed and the first ride greg took pax on he screamed and cried the entire time and the first ride i took paisley on (buzz light year) she screamed and cried bloody murder begging me to get her off. So we learned very quickly our kids do not like rides, so unfortunately we had to split off from gregs family because i was NOT going to stand in the hot sun just waiting for everybody else to go on rides.

We basically just wondered and tried to convince paisley to go on some small rides, she did do alice in wonderland and the tea cups, but if a ride was in the dark she was NOT going to do it, and if it had allot of puppets, and i figured out MOST of the rides are in the dark and have puppets, at least for the little ones. We mainly went and saw all the characters which both kids loved doing. we saw some shows which were all amazing and of course the parade and fireworks at night are magical.

Me and greg did get to go on one of my favs which is Indiana jones.

If your wondering why such a lack of pictures are first day its because if you have sensitive kids like mine then you don't do a whole lot lol one thing about my family is me and greg are very mellow and my kids like mellow and low key which is totally fine with us, but it can get hard when you are with a wild group which gregs other siblings are very wild and their kids are too.

This is just who we are, we still had a BLAST!!!
