Paxton is 4!


Paxton turned 4 on Saturday! (November 21) He had a specific list of what he wanted to do. 
1.) Pancakes and bacon for breakfast.
2.) paw patrol birthday cake.
3.) Chuck E. Cheese 
4.) His friend Brennan to go with him to Chuck E. Cheese.

It was a pretty easy list that we were able to do. 

Some things about Pax to remember at 4:
*weighs 39 lbs

*can count to 11 and knows the letter "p". He can also spell his name! Knows his shapes.

*loves the color green. 

*loves chocolate milk, bubblegum as a treat, and will eat chocolate donuts at any time of the day. 

*vey adventurous and daring. Scares us with his acrobat skills. He runs super fast is not afraid of trying new things. 

*will pick up spiders. We had to have a serious talk with him about not picking up any spider except a daddy long leg. We had an incident a few months ago where he picked up a black widow, and just recently, a brown recluse. Very scary. 

*loves his new baby brother and is very caring and sweet towards him.

*still has his blankie and will suck his thumb while falling asleep. Still wakes up at least once and crawls into bed with Daddy. (Which Daddy loves)

*asks if he is funny or hilarious when he tells a joke. 
He was not afraid of the Chuck E. Cheese and wanted to hug him every chance he could. He even got on the stage and would hug the electronic, robot Chuck E. Cheese. 
His Paw Patrol cake. Walmart did a great job! We forgot to order the cake until Thursday evening (and we needed it Saturday!)
He was super excited! This is his new "fake smile". 
Dj and Teeto got him a sailor Gi Joe! He loves playing Barbies with Haly, so he was excited to have another man! 
Brennan gifted him a paw patrol pack and he was over he moon. 
Chi, Haly, and Hux got him this monster playdough set he has been asking for! 
Mommy's good friend, Meagan, sent him these magnetic shape makers! They are so cool. He loves to build garages for his cars out of them. 
Sailor Gi Joe out of his box. 
Myme and Papa got real cowboy boots for him and he was so excited! He will want to wear them with everything-which is ok because they're adorable. 
Grammy and Great Grandma sent him some birthday money in the mail and he didn't think twice about getting this Paw Patrol rescue car. He also purchased bubblegum and a package of frosted chocolate donuts-go figure. The only thing Paw Patrol that he has his eye on is a big Chase (what he calls it). Christmas is just next month! We will see if he has that as a present under the tree! 

Paxton,
You are so funny and sweet. You have an energy about you that is unmatchable. You are strong and brave! You run so fast. We are so proud you are our little boy. I can't believe you are already 4! It seems just yesterday you were our tiny baby. Now, you have grown into such a big boy! We enjoy you being our son more than you will ever understand. It is a blessing that God has allowed us to care for you. We love you so much! And yes, you are funny AND hilarious!!!

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
