Alec & Hudson

Pax's 15 month check up....

This snuggly boy had his 15 month doctor appointment today. Hudson (and Daddy) got to come with. He begged us to let him come with so I told him if he was a good boy at daycare he could come. When we left daycare, he shouted out to the world, "I looooove doctors!!!". Not your normal 2 year old!! Paxton wasn't quite as excited I'm sure, but still such a good boy, letting the doctor do her job. She's so good with both of our boys, the nurse too, we really do love them! Paxton weighs 23 lbs (28%) and is 31 inches tall (46%). It seems we have two small boys, taking after Mommy.

ECFE

Paxton had another evening of school. His favorite tonight was the tub of blue sand in water!!! And the best part, the mess dried right up and could be brushed off.

BuBBLeS!!

Blowing blue colored bubbles with Logie.

Sometimes.....

there aren't any words.....

Daddy says it has Schell's Hobo Band written all over it ;)

Hunter's B-day Party

If you haven't already noticed, in this family, we celebrate birthdays more than once, sometimes 3 times! And tonight was yet another celebration for Hunter (and kind of Logan too!). Even though Hunter has such a busy life and had to leave for volleyball practice during her own party!

This dork thought having a dart on his head was very cool and made sure everyone seen him :)Maddi has kisses for Pax (he's red-cheeked from getting both molars). These boys are loved so much!

Hudson finally got to open his Valentine's Day presents from Maddi, but if you ask him, she got him presents just because she loves him so much! He was so excited for more "balls", a.k.a bath bombs. He LOVES them!!

Playing his new game from Maddi, Buckeroo.

Helping Hunter blow out her candles.

Warming Mommy's heart....

It's moments like these that make me smile, gives me butterflies in my stomach, and my heart ache with love and pride. Simple moments in time where my boys sit together, giggle, share, play.....and love. These moments are happening more and more and I'm cherishing every one of them. Even if it is happening on the cold kitchen floor with messy, sticky bubba suckers!

Happy B-day Ditty & Hunter!!

We celebrated Ditty and Hunter's (real) birthdays tonight at the Mexican restaurant and Sheri's for cake and ice cream.

Paxton thought sitting on Daddy's face was hilarious! Playing with Ditty...oh how much we missed her!
CAREFULLY bringing Hunter her birthday cupcake.

And helping her blow out the candle. Happy 13th Birthday!

The celebrating wiped Pax right out.

Fighting Daddy smooches......

WeLcOmE HoMe HuNtEr!! Even though we're jealous of your Florida tan!

The goofballs have Easter window clings on their cheeks.

Hudson had his eye on MORE candy!

And couldn't get his hand out of this jar!

Dinner Time!

Our baby boy is getting so big and learning to eat all by himself.

Takes such good concentration to fill his tummy.
But when it comes down to it, he can't fill his tummy fast enough and needs to go in with both fork and hands! "Don't look at me like that Mommy! I do what I gotta do to eat!"

Nordby Playdate

Cutest Couple- Bren & Pax

ALL of the kids wanted to hear Meredith read a book!
The big boys.

Snowy Park

We walked to the park this afternoon. The boys had a wagon ride while Mommy had to off road it a little bit to get through the melting snow, puddles, and mud! It was worth it for some much needed fresh air and swinging!
Pax contemplated eating some snow.

Cool guy in shades :)

Bathtime Fun!

The cheesiest smile I ever did see!

Whack-a-Mole

Grandma bought Paxton a "good job for being such a brave boy for surgery" present...Whack-a-Mole! And the boys love hammering the little heads of those moles.

Like brother, like brother

Paxton ready for tubes on 3-17-2011 at 14 months.

Hudson ready for tubes on 1-21-2010 at 19 months.

Tubes are in!

We arrived at the hospital dark and early at 6:40am. Paxton entertained himself in the waiting room by the fire.

Since Daddy had a fishing trip planned, Mommy was single-parenting it today, trying my darndest to hold it together while my baby gets ready for surgery.

All suited up in the pink hospital jammies!

We had about an hour wait so we found whatever we could to pass the time; including playing with the antibacterial foam! And maybe washing our hair with it!

Paxton did a great job! He went right to the nurse without hesitation, leaving Mommy there to cry and pray for 30 minutes while I waited for my baby to be back in my arms. Before I knew it, I heard his cries from behind the operating room doors! Those cries lasted about 20 minutes and we were headed home. The second we stepped outside he smiled and I took a deep breath....we're done! At home he couldn't wait to eat and down some cold milk. I made him a waffle for breakfast....

And then had to make him another one, poor guy was starving......

And then just one more. He had surgery today, he gets whatever he wants! He didn't even stop eating to play!

And after some play time, he zonked out in the middle of the living room for a mid-morning cat nap.
