Back to Blogging

I'm really wanting to get back into regular blogging. SO I'm hoping that doing this today will get me in the mood! Here are 5 things we've been up to lately! 1. We celebrated Paxton's 5th birthday in April. We had a Duck Dynasty Party with a 'duck' hunt and a Willie look a like.
Here's the birthday boy with his birthday mickey mouse pancakes. 2. We celebrated Naia's 9th birthday. She had a sleep over with some friends. She got a new puppy named Toby for her birthday! He is rotten and she absolutely loves him!
Here she is right before her dance recital! They were supposed to be nerdy.... 3. Paxton started and finished his first t ball season. Too funny! I was the dugout coach and had a blast with all the kids. They cracked me up every game.
4. Vacation to Branson. Spent time at Silver Dollar City. Xavier got to ride roller coasters to his hearts content! Shopped, ate well, and had a blast with just our family of 5. On the way there and back we stopped at two new hiking spots. This is the only family pic from either hike! Fun stuff!
5. Vacation to Dallas. We went to a Rangers game. The boys went to LEGOLAND and the girls went to the American Girl Doll Store. Six flags and more roller coasters than Xavier's stomach could handle! Good food. Fun with my parents and niece Kailie. No pics of this but we had a great time! Now we're just staying home and relaxing and healing. Have had two sick kiddos since we got home from Dallas last week. We've been swimming and hanging out doing a few craft projects. Will try and get pics of those up later this week!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I know this is totally a Christmas picture, but it's the most up to date family pic I have! I am beyond blessed by the love in this family.

So this is what we've been up to the past few months...
 
 
 

Paxton was a pilgrim in his Thanksgiving day parade.  Too cute. Even if he was sick and running fever......I took him anyways. He went home right after!

We were the Batfamily for Halloween. This is Bat Mom. She's my alter ego.

Naia has been hard at work at gymnastics.  She's trying her "back flip over" as she calls it here. She doesn't quite get it here, but she has it down now! She's a great tumbler!

 

This is the family minus one Xavier at SDC this fall. We had season passes and went quite a few times.  Lots of fun! Perfect weather this day!
 
After the new year, we've been pretty busy.  Brent's working a lot.  We've been to a couple auctions.  I've painted our bathroom and put up new decorations there! The kids are busy.  I can't believe in just a couple short months I'll be registering Paxton for Kindgergarten. It makes me sad just to think about it!  Xavier is loving band. He's playing the drums. We love that he loves it!  Naia is just hip hopping away when she's not doing gymnastics!  Life is good.

Pumpkin Carving 2012

Concentrating....

Before carving. Not sure why this is out of order! Out in the garage helping daddy with Christmas projects!

Can't believe my boys are almost the same height....

Look at the concentration on that face! She was determined to carve her pumpkin face herself.  She did one whole eye!
Helping daddy clean out the icky insides!

Watching daddy carve.
