King Paxton

We took Paxton to the Sunburst beauty pageant. Don't judge us. Paxton is handsome and we know it. Really, it was just an excuse for us to put on a really cute outfit and show him off. 

So check him out!

 Waiting for his turn. He was a slobber box!

 All of us just waiting and having a good time.

He's getting excited, can't you tell?

Everywhere this little girl went Paxton would watch her. She was cute!

The show is about to go on!

 Paxton on stage struttin' his stuff.

 Best smile and best personality.

 They shall crown him king!

 Hey, look at all my new stuff guys!

Love our little family!

 My guys <3

Paxton's Auntie Taylor came home from college to see him!

His great grandparents!

 Four generations!

 "Hey Dad! That's mine!"

 Paxton's Granny!

 We're such proud parents!

It was an afternoon of fun. Paxton loved all the attention and we got some really cute pictures! We're so glad that some of our family got to join us!

Three Years Later

Josh and I's anniversary was on Wednesday-our third anniversary. It's hard to believe it has been three years. Before you reach "adult" life, time can never go fast enough. Now I just need it to stop slow down.

These three years have been packed full of adventure! We've moved three times. I finished college. We got "big people jobs". We went to Haiti. We've made friendships that will sustain a lifetime. We had a baby!  We have grown in love through difficult situations. We have learned tough lessons. We've learned to enjoy each other in the simple things. We've become coffee snobs. The list could go on.

The last transition in life has been a tough one. It's been a real one. It's tested us and pushed us to the limit.  Here we are three years later.

Life is fun! We're learning to depend on God and to depend on each other like never before. Our love has been "rekindled" in the last month. We're learning to juggle a baby and our relationship. We're learning to not only love deeper, but wider.

We're learning to follow God's plan for our lives....even when we're following blindly.

I learned something really tough this year. Sometimes God speaks to Josh before He speaks to me. Yikes. That's hard to swallow. We're a team and God uses both of us to communicate to. This is hard for my in-control-need-to-know-what's-going-on self.

This day took place three years ago. 

And of course the honeymoon in Hawaii!!!

 

Happy Anniversary, Josh!! I love you! 


How long have you been married? What are you learning in your marriage?

Josh's First Father's Day

So if you haven't figured out by now we're incredibly proud and thankful parents. Paxton is such a blessing to us. There are days we still cannot believe we have a biological child. God is incredible!!

Windy Day!!

How cute is he?

First we went to church. We tried out a new church because we are church shopping. We really enjoyed the church. That is for another day :-)

Then we went to a huge cookout with Josh's family and all the fathers. It was fun. Josh and I got to drive a golf cart around. By drive, I mean stunt driving! Donuts, sharp turns, and lots of screams...It was a blast! We also ate some great food! Josh is a great dad because he has a great dad. I'm thankful Paxton comes from a great line of men!!

I'm a thankful mom. Josh is an incredible dad. He longs to see Paxton when he's away from him. He talks, loves on, kisses, and so much more on Paxton. He even changes cloth diapers :-)

I'm a thankful mom.
