summer happenings

Summer is upon us. Which means lots of pools, parties, vacations, Etc. And as usual i like to document things by taking pictures, so you will get the usual overload of pictures with descriptions. ENJOY!

We will start off with pictures of the kiddos, this is one of paisley in her favorite dress, she calls it her flower dress.

 Pax was having a fun time playing with some sunglasses, he would crack up when he would put them on.

 He figured out how to go down the stairs.

 Doing the actions to if your happy and you know it.

Pax and greg on the swing. (i promise pax likes it, even though his face doesn't look like it)

 every time we go to GG's house (grandma and grandpas) we bust out the kiddie pool

 A couple days last week pax was being so clingy and fussy, every time i would get in the shower he would just cry and scream the entire time i was in the shower, he did this 3 days in a row, i could not figure out what was wrong. so one day i was trying to get ready and he started up again so i put him in timeout, and the poor kid fell asleep in his time out chair mid tantrum, its so cute but so sad. Well come to find out later that day he woke up from his nap burning up and had a fever for 24 hours, i think he is teething, no other symptoms came from it, just a mild fever for a day. don't you just love the curve balls babies throw at you?!

 on the 4th of july we hung out at my parents house and got to play with leo the mastiff, he is the sweetest dog ever. He really is a gentle giant. Greg wants a mastiff SO BAD. ( he is not my parents dog)

It was SO hot, so pax had fun feeding leo ice cubes from his hand, it really is like feeding a horse lol

  Me and Leo (look at that tongue) 

Say goodbye to paisleys cute a-line haircut, she has been BEGGING me to let her grow out her hair, she wants long hair so bad, i finally have caved and i'm letting her grow it out :(

 Paisley being silly 

 We got to go boating on grandpas boat at rock port.

pax wasnt too sure of the water at first.

 He finally got brave enough to play in it.

 Paisley playing in the water. and yes this is as far as my kids would go in the water, my kids HATE deep water, if they cant touch then they just SCREAM their heads off.

 checking out the boats.

 cutest beach baby ever!

 Paisley got to help grandpa drive the boat.

Paisley playing in the sand.

 Daddy and pax throwing the football.

just a cute random picture of greg and ellie, she LOVES to cuddle.

 and my pictures got out of order, the fireworks from the 4th of july.

 we had a little family get together at the park, this is my dads family. It was good to see my grandpa and let him see my kids, we aren't sure how much longer he has, his health is deteriorating. I want to visit him more, its just really hard to see him struggle so much, it makes me super nervous the entire time.

My brother and his girlfriends baby nash, he has the most gorgeous brown eyes. 

 Paisley showing off her summer tan.

 she wishes she could long board like daddy.

 pax and cousin reese playing, they are only 4 weeks apart, they are going to be best buds.

Fathers day and Paisleys Birthday

Its always a busy week when fathers day approaches around here since paisleys birthday falls on or around fathers day. She turned 4 on Monday, i still cant believe i have a 4 yr old, it makes me feel old lol Her birthday lasted a good 3 days, i'm still trying to recover from them. It all started on fathers day we celebrated her birthday with gregs family, then her actual birthday was on Monday and we celebrated it with my family, then on Tuesday we took her to the princess festival for her birthday from mom and dad. I had to inform her on Tuesday night that her birthday was OVER, hahahahaha she wasnt too happy when i started taking down her birthday decorations Heck i wouldnt be either if my birthday had just lasted 3 days!!!! so Here is a major picture overload, since that's what i do best is taking pictures, ENJOY!!!!

To start off the weekend we took the kids to a splash park, the water was FREEZING, these picture are hilarious of there faces. they didn't last long.

                                          My dad and mom with my two kids, Love this picture.

                                                       The best DADDY in the world!!!!!

 When me and greg first started dating back in high school one of the first thing i found out about him is he has a obsession with superman.so naturally he got a superhero fathers day theme. I made the sign, and he got all superman memorabilia from us for gifts. Then i took him to see the new superman movie, he was in heaven!!!!

               Then paisley got in on the action with a ice cream Oreo cake and gifts from the cousins.

I stayed up until midnight taking down gregs fathers day and putting up paisleys birthday decorations. one of my favorite memories was waking up to birthday decorations on my birthday when i was young i know people think i overdue and its a waste of time, but its such a simple thing and makes them feel so special!!!

 Heres the Birthday princess first thing in the morning, her aunt sissy got her this adorable princess dress, she stripped down first thing to put it on!!!!

Her favorite breakfast food is donuts, so that's what she got was a pile of donuts and she was in heaven!!! and yes she changed out of her princess dress before she ate so she wouldn't get it dirty, and this girl changes 20 times a day!!!!

 And then by afternoon she changed into her birthday outfit her grandma got her, so adorable!!!!

 We went to my parents house that evening, and of course she got another princess dress from grandma and grandpa, because that is seriously all she wanted for her birthday was a million princesses dresses. NO JOKE!!!

                  Here she is again blowing out birthday candles, this time on a ice cream cupcake!!!!

To end the birthday night, she got a new bed and new princess bedding from us, she LOVES IT!!!

Now on to Tuesday, they have a princess festival at thanksgiving point, we took her last year and it was amazing, so this year we wanted to take her for her birthday, it didn't start until the day after but shes only 4 she didn't know the difference lol Here she is all dolled up ready to go. I love the kissy face one ;)

                  She got to meet a mermaid, pax did not like her, he touched her tail and ran off.

            She got to meet every princess you could think of, her favorite of course is Rapunzel!!!

Pax got in on the action and got a dragon painted on his face, he loved getting it done, he was closing his eyes loving the girl tickling his face, so funny.

         And the car ride home was nice and quiet because this was happening in the back, hahahaha!!!!
                    i guess 4 hours in the hot sun meeting princess after princess is exhausting.

Living in the moment.

We have been having lots of fun around this house lately, lets just say its overdue since we have had a horrible winter/spring. I must say everything we have been through has mellowed me out with the kids. I can let things go much easier and not stress so much over the small stuff. I feel like i needed that little bit of hard reality to make me realize i just need to be in the moment and enjoy my kids and not worry so much. We have been swimming. We had two cousins get married two days apart. Paisley had her second dance recital, and did AMAZING!!!! We had cousins come from st George and played with them. As well as lots of playing outside. Now to top off the busy week we are installing new laminate wood floors in our condo.

 so here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

 we had kneaders french toast one morning and pax LOVED the whip cream that came on top!!!

Paisley on her big recital day!!!! I didn't cry the second time around ;) its amazing how shy this girl is, but you put her on stage with her dance group and she dances her little heart out, i really feel like we found her passion in life.

And as far as paxton and his recovery from heart surgery he is doing AMAZING, you would never guessed 7 weeks ago he had heart surgery. We have a follow appt. in august with his cardiologist, im excited to take him and show his cardiologist how good pax is doing now. He hasnt seen him since before his surgery because a different surgeon had to do paxton's surgery.
