I graduated college

I graduated on June 6th 2009.I majored in international business management and minored in math. I walked in the ceremony and afterwards was invited to the President's Luncheon where the speakers and president of the school were all there with about 15 students that had been chosen. My mom was able to come out for graduation!!! I was so happy that she was able to be there with us and meet Paxton for the first time. She was amazing and helped us clean our apartment when we moved out. I am so grateful for that because it was a lot to do. I received lots of leis from mine and Todd's family and it was so nice. They smelled great and it made me feel special and loved.
I don't have any pictures of me with my mom (they are on her camera) but here is a picture of my mom with Paxton at the beach.

We bought our first car!

Two days after we got back to Sacramento we bought our first car, a camry. It all went really well and we got a good deal on it with the rebates they are having plus a college graduate rebate we got for Todd!

Hawaiian Baby

Paxton in the ocean

We decided that we needed to put Paxton's feet in the ocean before we left so we went to Hukilau beach to do just that. Paxton got a little more than he bargained for and was not too happy about it.

Paxton fell asleep in Todd's arms like this.

Some cute pictures

These shoes were huge on him and he was trying to kick his legs and couldn't move them very much because they were so heavy.

Here he is staring out our window. He loves to look outside and be outside. This outfit is way too big on him and the shorts fall off of him if he's not laying down.

I will be posting some more pictures soon, but for now I am going back to bed!

Waaaaaaa cha!

Paxton thinks he is a karate kid. At first he wasn't taking it seriously, but he realized that if he was going to be good he needed to be serious and work on his moves. Here they are (the unserious one first).

This one has been his best move so far (flying ninja). He learned how to get his legs in the air too.

More smiles

This face he makes before he is going to smile sometimes. Todd thinks it is really weird, but I think it is hilarious.

I am going to post some "karate" pictures of him next :)

Video of Paxton

Happy boy

Paxton is one happy little baby. He started smiling at us and we have caught part of his smiles on camera. It's really fun to see it in person and he just stares at us like we are the most amazing people in the world. We love it! Here is a funny face that he did. He does funny faces before he smiles because he is still trying to figure out how to smile.

Day at the park

Todd and I took Paxton to the park because he loves being outside. He just laid there and relaxed and had tons of fun!

This is the life

Paxton pretended like he was eating, but really just got milk all over him and I!

I don't like going to bed late...

...but I like the reason I went to bed late last night. Todd likes to play a game where he will put his arm or his leg over part of me and then he says ok I won't put any pressure on you, but you have to lift it and get out yourself. But really I know he secretly puts pressure but he will deny it to the end. And I say that I don't like it and pretend to be mad, but I laugh the whole time because I not so secretly find it really funny and kind of fun. The other reason I went to bed even later is because Todd and I said goodnight to each other and that we loved each other then he said something else. So then I said something, then he did, then I did, etc. Both of us want to be the person who says something last...so we continued this for a really long time. And I was cracking up the whole time until I realized that it was getting too late and I was tired and needed to sleep. I love our fun/annoying games that make me laugh uncontrollably. (Todd won the say something last game b/c I decided sleep was more important).
















I love these two boys!!!!

Series of pictures of Paxton sleeping

Paxton kept getting lower and lower and his legs became more exposed while his face got covered.

More Pictures

I am obsessed with Paxton. When he wakes up in the morning he stays up for 5 or 6 hours straight so we have lots of quality time together and I take pictures of him. Here he is making a cute face.


Here he is holding onto his Dad's hand.
Here he is hiding and not wanting anymore pictures taken of him. I love his legs and feet in this picture.


Here is his new trick that he does with his arms. He looks so happy and proud when he does it.
Here he is just hanging out staring at me. As you can tell I don't really have him wear pants that often/I don't button up his outfits. Maybe when he can fit in more clothes I will try to start caring.
