The Paxtons

fun things we did this summer

2011-08-15T12:23:00.000-07:00

we did have a whole lot of time to spend in Utah but we did do some fun things this summer

we went to Gail's farm and fed the Elk and saw the chickens and mini horses

we had huge water fights

went to the fireworks

went to the parades

and when we got here we went to see lake Michigan (ken stripped down on the beach she was dying to go swimming)

we went boating

we also went to seven peaks and to the splash park a lot... most important we spent a lot of time with family hanging out and having fun.... we miss our family a lot and hope that they will all come visit!!!

oh ya and while we were in Utah my sister had the cutest baby boy EVER Mr Cruz

CRAZINESS!!!!

2011-08-15T12:00:00.000-07:00

well this has been a year of craziness.... a year ago we moved to Arizona to start a masters program at Midwestern in hopes to eventually be accepted to dental school! Dave spent the year pretty much locked in the library at school studying his butt off to make AWESOME grades (which he did) I am so Proud of him!!! we had such a good time in Arizona made GREAT friends!! Throughout the year the direction of going to dental school just started to feel not quite right. Dave attended some lectures on podiatry and other professional programs to see what was out there... he started shadowing a podiatrist and fell in love so the 3 years that we spent preparing for dental school and the DAT and all that goes with it i think prepared him for what was next... all within a 3 weeks he shadowed podiatrist, applied for podiatry school, studied for the MCAT, took the MCAT, and still studied for his classes! lets just say it was a crazy time for us! He was accepted to Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago IL.

Dave graduated in May we moved back to Utah to work and spend time with family... August 5 we packed up the Uhaul and headed for Illinois the 3 day drive was well BRUTAL with 2 babies it was no fun.... but we got here with no problem at all!!! we are finally unpacked (we couldn't of done it without the help of Dave's parents) and getting back to our normal routine. Dave started school today and we are preparing ourselves for his long hours at the library... but we are living right next to the school so he can walk home and be here in a jiffy if i need him!!

We are so grateful for this opportunity to come to school and Dave to further his education... from what we hear Chicago is a fun place to live we are looking forward to all the exciting things we will be able to do here (if you have any suggestions let us know)

here are a few pics of our new little apartment

Tea Partys with max

2011-04-15T09:29:00.000-07:00

i some times worry about max but maybe its normal for all those little brothers that had a big sister first!!! i mean the poor kid has everything pink is bouncy chair and swing when he was a baby his sippy cups and some of his blankets are all pink!!! hopefully it will just make him more sensitive haha jk... Well for those of you that know Kenadee she has well lets say a Very strong personality and because of that max and Ken don't play all that well together unsupervised... but i was folding laundry the other day and it was really quiet in the the back room most of the time i hear yelling and crying and all you moms know that when its quiet trouble is brewing... but not today i walked into kens room and this is what i found!!! it was so cute i really don't know how max got into the seat! but max was sitting up there with his fork pretending to eat just like Kenadee is amazing to see their imaginations even at such a young age. he was loving every second of the tea/dinner party that kenadee had put together!!! its little moments like this when my kids are loving playing together that fills my heart!! i love my kids so much and it makes me love them even more when they play together nicely!! :)

Disney Princess On Ice

2011-04-15T09:23:00.000-07:00

Dave got discount tickets for Disney princess on ice so last weekend we took ken to see them! my friend Meagan watched max so we could actually enjoy the show!! Kenadee absolutely loved every second of it did not take her eyes off the ice rink the whole time! it was so fun to see her excitement as all the different princesses came out and did their number she sand along with most!! its so fun to have such a girly girl who loves everything pink and princess!!

Swimming with Meagan

2011-04-15T09:19:00.000-07:00

My little girl is growing up!!! She started Swimming lessons a couple weeks ago. Both my kids have zero fear of the water so now that i have crazy max who runs all over the place my attention is split so that means Ken needs to learn how to swim to so i don't have to worry as much when we are at the pool!!! Meagan is such a good teacher and Ken is loving it... she can already float on her back!!!

Spring Break

2011-04-15T08:58:00.000-07:00

Monday and Tuesday I dragged Dave and the kids to the outlets and we took the kids swimming Wednesday we went to a Dodgers spring training game it was fun but the game started at 1 and max didn't last long because he needed at nap but the kids had a blast running around on the grass

Thursday we went to Cerreta Candy company in downtown Glendale and took a tour of the factory it was so fun plus they give you a ton of free samples :) ken had a blast making breakfast (sausage and eggs) out of pretzels white choc and yellow m&M's she thought that was pretty cool!

that Santa down there is solid chocolate crazy!!

On Friday we headed to the zoo... we got free passes from the library which was AWESOME!!! Max wasn't to hip on the idea of sitting on the fake animals and posing for pictures!!

We had a super fun week hangout and seeing all the sights of Sunny Arizona

its been so long...

2011-02-23T09:00:00.001-08:00

Well its been so long since i have posted i will give you the run down of the past few months...
We spent Thanksgiving in Utah with Dave's family we were there for a little over 2 weeks and had a blast going to the movies and ken loved every second she got to play with her cousins... but i forgot my camera "classic Tiffany" as Dave would say...

We took the kids to see Santa at the ward Christmas party both kids hated Santa ken wouldn't even get close

Dave got out of school on the 22 then we made our way to Modesto in the worst rain storm i had ever seen in my life but it was totally worth it be be with my fam for Christmas

Max gave me the best Christmas present ever he finally started walking!! i had been worrying that he would crawl forever!!!

Christmas morning

in January i got free passes from the library to the zoo so on Martin Luther King Jr day we took the kids to the zoo

Kenadee favorite thing about the zoo was looking at the map to see where we were going next!!

She was so excited to ride the carousel at the zoo i tried to get her to pick a fun animal but she said that all the other ones were scary and that she only wanted to ride the horse... she is so funny!

Kenadee turned 3 on the 30 of January Dave's parents came down for another visit and spoiled the kids!!! it was so fun to have them here!

We had a small party for Ken her only requests were that she had balloons, birthday candles and baby Ashlyn at her party!!(baby Ashlyn in our friends the Gronemans baby) she had a princess cake which she loved but i hated because is didn't turn out as perfect as i thought it would be... (don't look at the picture Ashleigh just scroll past it! don't judge ;) )

We got her this cute little kitchen that is so cute and it only took 3 of us 2 hours to put it together that's how many pieces it came it! but it was totally worth it to see her face when we brought it out

These are just a couple pictures of my goofy kids being silly! they make me laugh everyday and i am so lucky to be their mom!!!

We have been swimming and spending our days at the park while Dave is gone at school and studying. We have had the most wonderful weather
Max has recently started feeding himself and ken is now officially potty trained we do however put a pull up on at night because for me its not worth the risk!!! And she is going to start swimming lesson in a week which she is so excited about! Dave's quarter ends on Friday and we have plans to check out all the fun things to do around here! spring training started i think that we will take in a game or 2 maybe go to the zoo again... but most of all we will definitely enjoy spending the whole week with dad!!!hopefully i wont forget my camera!!!

2010-11-01T09:25:00.003-07:00

I cant believe its been a year since i brought my little dopey home!!! if you don't remember

he is now one and HUGE... little man is 90 % for height and weight and, weighs 25 lbs and is my little destroyer!!!! for his birthday Dave's parents were in town we carved pumpkins and had birthday cake and opened presents!!!

HE finally realizes his hands are dirty and then HATES IT!!!

Pumkin Patch

2010-11-01T09:19:00.000-07:00

We went to the pumpkin patch and let the ken pick out her pumpkin! she pretty much touched every pumpkin in the place trying to find the perfect one but she finally found it!!!

GRANDMA and GRANDPA Paxton came to town

2010-11-01T09:07:00.000-07:00

Dave's mom and dad came for a visit this past week and man did we have a blast running our guts out shopping and having fun!!! Ann took us to the children's museum in Phoenix and man did kenadee have a blast she loved every minute of it!!

she got to be chef

ride a bike with her helmet backwards.

play peek a boo in a giant box

and just see how things work

Max doesn't like the flash 0n my camera so this is how a lot of my pictures turn out lately!

So Behind

2010-11-01T08:58:00.000-07:00

It i crazy how a almost 3 year old and a crawling baby will keep you insanely busy running after max picking up and cleaning up everything he is destroying! but we are enjoying Arizona and the 80 degree weather we spend most of our time swimming, riding scooters and playing at the park! Dave is gone so much studying that we have to keep busy so we don't miss him too much!!!
Here is just a few pictures of the kids

Kenadee and her night time sleeping posse ya they have to be in a certain order... i worry a little that she might be a little OCD... (she is half rawe you know)

she is also a professional swimmer... (with floaties)

max just likes to kick back and watch whats going on around him

Where did She go

2010-09-08T13:58:00.000-07:00

While we were unpacking box after box after box i realized that Ken hadn't come up to me in while to ask for her usual snake or juice or something! So i started around the house looking for her room after room i started to get uneasy because i couldn't find her i finally start looking outside thinking that maybe she slipped past me! and i still couldn't find her! i start yelling and getting a little panicked until i heard her little giggle and this is what i found

She found her own little spot and was playing my ipod touch! we have to leave that shelf cleared because that's "kens spot" or so she calls it!

Move in day

2010-09-08T13:54:00.000-07:00

We got to our new house about 1 pm after drive 7 hours from St George the kids were tired it was hot and this is how tired ken was

she fell asleep watching a show on the portable DVD player it was so cute!

big helper

2010-09-08T13:52:00.001-07:00

Ken was a big helper while we were packing up to move or so she thought.... she even packed a box or two all by herself! She has great organization skills ;) dont you think

A & D (the new kind of Gel)

2010-09-08T13:41:00.000-07:00

I was packing up boxes one morning when i realized that it was a little to quiet in the house! you moms out there know that when its quiet something is not quite right! i walked into the family room and found this

Kenadee was so proud of herself and told me mom look i did Mackys hair! I was mad for a second and then realized ahh no big deal it was actually funny!!! But lets not do it again his head smelled weird for a week

Moving

2010-08-13T13:41:00.001-07:00

Well we are moving to Arizona in 3 days and while we are so excited to go, we are sad to leave! we will miss all of our family and friends in Utah! Thank you to all of you for your love and support! Wish Dave Luck in school and me luck with the 2 babies in a new town! we will see you all in 10 months hopefully a little tanner and with a masters degree!

Busy Busy Busy

2010-07-08T07:47:00.000-07:00

WOW... i feel like we haven't had a chance to sit down... which is the reason I haven't updated in FOREVER! June was jammed packed with vacations reunions an basically us going in ten different was! we started off June by going to Art City days.. the festival they have in Spring with a carnival and parade and fireworks its pretty fun!

then we took the kids with us to Arizona to look for apartments because we are moving in 6 weeks! We found one by the way and are super excited about it! Then we headed to Heber Valley Camp for a couple days with Dave's whole family! we canoed and repelled and just hung out! Then it was my 25th birthday i cant believe i am a quarter of a century old! Then all the rawes came for a Family Reunion at Bear Lake.... But before we headed to the lake we went to the scera pool for some fun in the sun

At the Lake we went boating hung out with family and took bike rides down to get some Snow cones the kids loved that

after bear lake we all came back to Provo for the 4th we sat outside the stadium of fire and listened to Carrie Underwood and watch the fireworks! we also went to the parade and had a BBQ we have been running in every different direction and its nice to have things calm down... the next thing on our list it so start packing for the move!

Mickey Park

2010-07-08T07:38:00.000-07:00

we live right across the street from an elementary school and we often go to the park! one night we were sitting outside in the back yard and Kenadee asked to go to Mickey Park. I was so confused and didn't know what she was talking about ! but when Ken wants to do something she wants to do something so she grabbed my hand and starting pulling and we ended up at the park across the street!

Ken wanted to do everything i did!

Happy Max... Heavenly Father sure blessed me with this one! i love him so much... this Kid is awesome he is so happy all the time! He is such a mellow fellow and nothing much bothers him. He lets his sister kiss on him hold him and climb all over him and he just smiles and LAUGHS at her! He pretty much laughs at anything! Its so crazy going from lets just say not the happiest easy going kid to one that is content to sit in his jumper forever! I LOVE YOU MR MAX!

Grandma Rawe got Kenadee her Easter dress and it couldn't be cuter

2010-03-09T09:11:00.000-08:00

We have been potty training lately and she is doing well... We tried once before but she wasn't quite ready... and now its the funniest thigh EVER whenever she has to go number 2 she ask for a story... and just sits on the potty and reads while she does her business i know that one day she will hate me for these pictures but man are they cute now....

SHES 2

2010-02-04T14:22:00.000-08:00

My baby girl is no longer a baby... she is officially a toddler! She turned 2 on the 30 of January. We had the best day on Kenadee birthday we took her to her first movie we saw The Princess and the Frog. I was really nervous because i didn't know how she would act if she would be quiet and stay in her seat but she did great! We got her, her own little movie meal with popcorn candy and a drink and she sat in her seat and just munched her popcorn! She loved the show and danced and clapped when the songs came on and said "mama that's scary" when the bad guy showed up! After the movie we went and got burgers then went home for a nap... Later Aunt Janille, Uncle Aric, Ryder, Caroline and Annie came over for Kenadees Mickey Mouse Birthday Party. I made her a Mickey Mouse cake which i was pretty proud of! We had a great day... and lets hope that she grows out of the terrible 2s fast!

Kenadee was so shy when we sang her happy birthday!

Arent they the cutest

2010-01-26T10:27:00.001-08:00

i know i may be a little bias but aren't they the cutest kids you have EVER seen!

Max Definately LOVES his Daddy

MY SMILING FOOL

2010-01-19T10:04:00.000-08:00

Max starting smiling a ton lately he always has this HUGE silly grin on his face! With this HUGE grin we noticed a tiny dimple on left side of his smile and man is it cute! He is growing so fast that it is making me a little sad he is already wearing 6 month size clothes and he was 13 lbs the last time i took him to the Doc! He started sleeping through the night i and i finally feel like a real person again! I love my little man and cant enough of him... he will be 3 months old on the 27!

PANTIES

2010-01-19T09:55:00.000-08:00

So when Grandma Rawe came in October she bought Kenadee some panties because we all thought Kenadee was ready to use the potty... well we had Max and i kept putting the whole potty training thing off because lets face it i was a bit lazy... Finally i said the first of the year i would start... well the first came and went and i didn't start... well about a week ago i ran out of diapers so i finally decided that now is as good of time as any.... and we have been potty training for about 5 days now and we are accident free as of yesterday!!! i cant believe my baby is using the potty. Its Crazy how time flies! Kenadee loves her Minnie Mouse panties so much that i am having a hard time getting her to wear pants!

christmas

2010-01-01T14:25:00.000-08:00

Well... Christmas was pretty much a bust this year Kenadee HATED Santa... and Max woke up Christmas morning throwing up! Kenadee wasn't to into opening her presents once she opened the chap stick that Auntie Kaitlin got her. And we spent Christmas night in the Hospital with Max because he was dehydrated from throwing up all day...

Kenadee however LOVED all her new toys once they were opened and out of the boxes...

Hopefully Christmas 2010 will be better for us!

THE Drive

2009-12-08T11:25:00.000-08:00

We drove to California... i know 2 babies we were crazy however it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be Max slept pretty much the whole time and as long as we had Nemo or Ratatouille was play Kenadee was quiet...

FALL LEAVES

2009-12-07T17:29:00.000-08:00

We spent Thanksgiving in California with my family we had a great time visiting with everyone and letting everyone meet Max...

All the leaves were still falling so Kenadee and Grandpa had a great time raking them up

Isn't she so cute!

A mini me???

2009-12-07T17:26:00.000-08:00

Ever since Jacey was born everyone said that she looks like me... (shes lucky i know..) but what do you think this was taken November 26 2009 Jacey is 12 and i am 24. What do you think?

Snow White and Dopey

2009-11-02T09:59:00.001-08:00

Max was just a few days old but i couldn't resist dressing my kids up in a matching theme...

Kenadee definitely did not like Halloween this year... EVERYTHING was "scary" but she did go trick or treating with her dad...

Max was the cutest Dopey EVER!

Max David Paxton

2009-10-31T10:45:00.000-07:00

Max David Paxton born October 27, 2009 at 6:25Pm he weighed 7lbs 4oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.

Max had a rough go at breathing at the beginning i got to see him after he was born for just a few seconds before they took him away... he had to be on oxygen and have chest xrays done because he was breathing so fast... finally at midnight my medication wore off and i could move my legs so my nurses got me up so i could go to the nursery to see my baby max... Finally at 9:00a.m. the next morning after the doctors cleared him they brought him to me so i could hold my baby for the first time.... it was so hard to go so long without seeing him but i am glad that he is all better and doing great...

Max is a great sleeper and only woke us up once last night lets hope that he keeps that up

Big sister Kenadee loves her little brother she always has lots of kisses ready for him and when i am not hold him she always is worried where he is... she hasn't tried to pick him up yet so that is great...

we are all doing well and are so happy to have our little Mr. Max here!

PUMPKIN PATCH

2009-10-21T19:14:00.000-07:00

we headed to the pumpkin patch today to get Kenadee a pumpkin before the baby comes so that she doesn't have to miss out on all the Halloween festivities! My mom and dad came to town to surprise Janille for her birthday and her baby shower... so they came with us to pick out the Pumpkins!

We let Kenadee pick out her very own pumpkin!

Kenadee threw a fit when we had to leave my mom thought that it was so funny how she was laying on the ground that she had to snap a picture...

baby bump...36 Weeks

2009-10-03T09:35:00.000-07:00

So i have protested posting pictures of me pregnant because well i am a lot bigger this time than i was with Ken but i finally gave in because everyone was asking so here it is i am 36 weeks i have a C section scheduled for the 28 of October so unless he decides to come on his own i have 25 days left!

I am ready for the little man to be here and i just got him some diapers... i couldn't believe how tiny they are compared to Kenadees HUGE size 5... we are working on potty training... but its not going to well... maybe when she is 2!

Heber

2009-09-03T13:27:00.000-07:00

Daves family got a camping site at this really cool place in Heber its were they have hold girls camp... they have all these challenges that you can do. I was pretty sad that i could do any of them because i am pregnant but it was fun to watch Dave and Kenadee do them and the rest of the family.

Kenadee wasn't to sure about the swing and she didn't want to get on but once we buckled her up she loved it and didn't want to get off! We are going again next year and i cant wait till i can do all the fun stuff to!

SHES GETTING SO OLD

2009-08-16T13:58:00.000-07:00

well today was a big day! Kenadee went to nursery for the very first time... She didn't cry when i handed her over and they said she did so good and when we came in to get her to go home she didn't even want to come with us.... i cant believe how fast she growing and this afternoon she is napping in her new toddler bed... we are trying to get her adjusted before the baby comes! TIME FLIES

coloring

2009-08-14T16:45:00.000-07:00

i sat Kenadee up to the counter the other day with a coloring book and crayons in hopes that i would be able to get so laundry folded without my little helper... and by helper i mean unfolder!... little did i know that she was a little artist... she colored for 45 min i couldn't believe how much she loved it so i got some pretty cute pictures!

18 MONTHS

2009-07-22T10:25:00.000-07:00

Wow how time flies Kenadee will we 18 months on the 30th. We are so lucky to have Ken in our family she makes laugh every day and can always make me smile. I know all parents say this but i really do have the cutest baby!

p.s. thanks Janille for the pictures you are the best!

Kenadees first hair cut (kinda)

2009-07-12T15:42:00.001-07:00

Kenadee had her "first" hair cut on July 9. I put first in quotations because we all know that i do hair and that its not possible for me to have waited 18 months to do a little trim-a-roo especially when she was born with such bad hair... so i call this her first hair cut because i cut more that 10 strands of hair and i cut about an inch off... Her hair is now almost all one length. We had to keep lots of snacks at hand to have her sit still and she definitely sat there better than i had expected her to!

SHES SO CUTE!

7 peaks

2009-07-12T15:36:00.000-07:00

While the Bundys where here we all went to the water slides. I was a little worried about how Kenadee would do because the last time i took her swimming she didn't love it, but she loved the water slides her fav0rite was playing in the wave pool with Jaxsyn. My little lady didn't cry the whole time we were there even when Aunt Janille took her down a big water slide!

Slumber Party

2009-07-12T15:32:00.001-07:00

Kenadee LOVES her cousins! While the Bundys were visiting we decided it was time for Kenadee to have her very first sleep over so we invited the girls to stay the night! Kenadee had a blast with Jacey and Shaelyn, even though she is a lot younger than the girls you could say she definitely fits in !

BABY DOLL

2009-07-12T15:21:00.000-07:00

It is a tradition in my family that Grandpa Rawe always gives his Granddaughters their first baby doll when they are born. Kenadee has grown quite attached to hers! She has always loved it even when she was 8 months old you would tell her to "go get your baby and she would crawl all the way across the room just to get her baby! Well now she is 18 months and she already takes it every where, and the cutest thing about it is that she has to have it when she goes to bed... that's right she sleeps with! She also puts it in her highchair and tries to feed it! Kenadee is definitely a little girl who loves her DOLLS!

Surgery

We had to leave for the hospital at 5:30 am

Well Kenadee had her surgery and now its been a week after and she is on the mend. The actual surgery only took about 20 minutes and then we where supposed to stay in the hospital over night so they could monitor Kenadee but she was doing so well that they let us go home that evening. When we got home Ken ate a whole piece of pizza and we thought that this surgery was no big deal and that Kenadee would be back to normal the next day.... BOY were we wrong it took about 7 days for Kenadee to start eating again.

We are on day 11 of recovery and she is still not sleeping through the night... SHE IS WORSE THAN A NEW BORN BABY, but she has finally gotten down off my lap and started playing with her toys again...

So our goal for the next little bit is to get sleep and hopefully she isn't developing bad habits!!! Kenadee thinks that the best part about this whole experience is that she can have Popsicles for lunch and pudding for dinner!!!

The Surgery

2009-05-23T12:34:00.000-07:00

Well i don't know if you remember but i couple of months ago i blogged about Ken turning blue... well we have been trying to find out why that is happening and have been going to lots of different doctors to try to see whats happening. We have been to a Cardiologist and had her heart looked at. Which everything was normal with her heart. Then we went to ear nose and throat... that had us do a at home sleep study... which the test came out inconclusive... so they sent us to a Pulmonlgist that had us do another sleep study at the hospital which came out saying that Kenadee has Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. And what they do with that is take out her tonsils and adenoids. So on May 28 Kenadee surgery is scheduled and she will have to stay over night in the hospital. The surgery is really routine but its still a little nerve racking because Kenadee is so young. But we know all will go well!

P.S. we have so pretty good new we found out what we are having all those who guess BOY were right we are having a LITTLE BOY.. YAHOO

2009-05-13T19:42:00.000-07:00

FUN RUN

2009-05-06T11:05:00.000-07:00

I entered Kenadee into a race for charity to help children in Africa!

Aric and Janille, Grandma and Grandpa Paxton, the Hullingers and the Briggs all came and help cheered Kenadee On

We thought that she would love it and run with her cousin Jace but that wasn't the case...

We thought that her screaming was hilarious! Finally we realized that Ken wasn't going to finish without a little help.. so Dave helped her jump across the finish line...

Everyone was laughing at Kenadee because of course she was the ONLY kid screaming and crying! Even though she was sad we all thought that it was pretty hysterical...

Graduation

2009-05-02T17:45:00.000-07:00

Well we made it Dave is Graduating... and we could not be more excited for him! Next is Dental school Dave takes the DAT and applies for school in June.. so keep your fingers crossed that we get in!

Easter Dress

2009-04-23T10:32:00.000-07:00

Well we got some good pictures of Kenadee in her Easter Dress and she looked SO CUTE!

Brandon and Emily were in town when we did the pictures so we thought it would be a good idea to get one of the little girls... someday i wish all the grandgirls where together to get a cute picture!!

Easter

2009-04-19T16:28:00.000-07:00

Well Easter was pretty uneventful because i was super sick with a nasty cold... but the Easter Bunny did come visit our house and leave Kenadee Easter eggs to find. She was pretty good at getting the eggs and putting them in her basket. She would clap every time she would get and egg and put it in her basket! she was pretty proud of herself!

This is her Easter dress that her Grandma Paxton bought for her! She looked so CUTE
No matter what I did i couldn't get a cute picture of her in her dress so this is the best one... but i am going to get her pictures taken professionally in it so hopefully she will be a little more cooperative!

ST George FUN

2009-03-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

Dave and I just celebrated out 3rd anniversary... man 3 years goes by fast! Dave also had spring break from school so we headed down to sunny St George. We had a blast we went on walks, played at the park, and of course went SWIMMING... It took Ken a bit to get used to be pool (its a lot bigger than the bath tub). Kens favorite thing to do down there was to go on walks and find as many treasures (rocks) as her hands could hold!

Can you Believe it!

2009-03-27T09:49:00.000-07:00

Well the Paxton 3 we no longer be! We found out that we are adding one more to our wonderful family! We are so excited ! I am hoping for a baby boy.. and Dave says he wants another girl just like our Little Kenadee..its a little backwards i know... maybe i am just ready for a new shopping spree... but shhhh don't tell Dave.... in all actuality i don't care as long as its happy and healthy... WHATS YOUR GUESS???

PNEUMONIA

2009-02-19T09:43:00.000-08:00

(RIGHT BEFORE BED)

That's right our poor little girl has pneumonia. Scary I know! Here's what happened... Well the past couple months i had been noticing that Kenadee's hands, feet and lip would turn blue just randomly throughout the day. The first couple times that it happened i thought it was just because its cold outside... but after it kept happening i thought it was because she wasn't getting enough oxygen... so i would give her an asthma treatment... but that didn't help either. Finally i was talking to my mom yesterday and told her that Ken's extremities were blue and she told me that i needed to take her to the Doctor to get her O2 saturation checked! I didn't want to go to the Doctor because i was there just the day before Ken had been getting pretty bad fevers the past few days so the tested her for Strep and it was positive. But i listen and took her in. I saw a new doctor that day because Ken usual doc could get her in. I told him what had been happening and he checked her sat. and they were great so the blueness was not because of the asthma. I totally felt like a crazy mom that thinks that everything is wrong with her child. But he could tell my concern and told me about that when things turn blue it more than like has something to do the the heart, so he decided to do a chest X-ray to check out the heart and then we would go from there. Well he came back a few minutes later to tell me that he was glad that we did the Xray because she had a Pretty serious case of Pneumonia... he said that she has probably had it for awhile... I was astonished because besides being crabbier than normal and and a runny nose (which i thought was just because of getting teeth) she didn't show any symptoms.... they gave her an antibiotic shot and she was already on another antibiotic because of the strep and i also have to give her pulmocort treatments with a nebulizer 4 times a day. We go back to the doctor in one week to get another Xray and see if she is improving. So the Paxton family is going into hibernation for the next little while so our sweet little Kenadee can get back to normal!

Kenadees 1!!!

2009-02-03T08:36:00.000-08:00

Kenadee had her 1st birthday on Friday January 30. We had a double birthday party for her and her cousin Jace who was born 3 days earlier. All of the Paxton clan was there and also Janille, Aric, Caroline and Kenadee's friend Annie.

I made there little cakes Ken had a lady bug and I made Jace a basketball. Jace couldn't wait to dive into his, but Kenadee didn't think that it was as much fun after she got some cake on her hands and her face. She didn't like to be messy and wanted to get out of her chair...(you would almost think that she was a Bundy kid) i had to wipe her hands and her face a bunch!

She got tons of wonderful gifts and she loves them all!

Christmas Sock from Auntie Kaitlin

2009-01-26T19:11:00.000-08:00

Well its been a tradition that Kaitlin gets me socks every year for Christmas...well she decided to continue the tradition with her new adopted niece. They were the cutest FUZZY socks. Kenadee didn't know quite what to think of them she kept pulling them off and rubbing they on her face.

Christmas Morning

2009-01-11T15:37:00.000-08:00

Well it was the first Christmas morning we had with Kenadee and I think that I was more excited for Santa to come then anyone. In fact i had to wake everyone up. We started a tradition of opening Christmas P.J. on Christmas Eve. Ken wasn't to excited with the whole opening presents in fact her favorite thing that day was a tube of body wash that Grandpa got in his stocking and let her play with!

OUR LITTLE ANGEL

2009-01-11T15:22:00.000-08:00

Every year the Paxton's get together before Christmas and the kids act out a Nativity. This was Ken's first one we didn't think that she would cooperate to well but she must be a little actress because she was a prefect little angel who just wanted to hold and touch little baby Jesus who was played by then newest member of the Paxton clan her cousin Gillian.

APPLES APPLES APPLES

2008-12-17T13:34:00.000-08:00

APPLES

We decided to make chocolate covered carmel apples for gifts to give the neighbors for Christmas we made homemade carmel and covered them in white chocolate and then rolled them in cinnamon and sugar! The process took all afternoon but we were pretty proud of ourselves with the results!

With Walking Comes FALLING

2008-12-13T13:55:00.000-08:00

Well it was her first major face plant and man was it a good one! Kenadee was trying to walk over to the coffee table at Grandma Paxton's house when she didn't quite make it all the way and instead of falling to the ground she went right into the edge of the coffee table. I think that after this fall was the most sad that she has ever been. The next day she had a huge bruise right between her eyes, and then to top it all off the day after that she went right into the corner of a cardboard box of diapers. She got a tiny scratch on top of the bruise... i thought that with all the falling that she would give up and just crawl for a little longer but she is a persistent little person and she is going to walk whether it hurts her or Not!

I Dont know if you can tell from these pictures her bruise... but its there... POOR BABY

Walking Already

2008-11-30T19:00:00.001-08:00

Ready Or Not... she is walking! I cant Believe it Kenadee starting walking she took her first steps on 23 of November just 7 days before her 10 month birthday! She walks like a little Frankenstein and can only take a few steps at a time but she is trying so hard and it is so cute. She just giggles every time she walk. Ken is already into everything and her favorite thing to do is open drawers and cupboards and pull everything out. She has such a cute personality and is just like the energizer bunny she never runs out of energy! Its exhausting chasing her around sometimes but the things she does never stops making me laugh! I love my little baby Frankenstein...

Family Pictures November 9 2008

2008-11-30T18:42:00.000-08:00

Its so great to have a wonderful photographer that lives so close (and that is family) that we can just run over on a Sunday afternoon and get our pictures taken. We thought that all the fall leaves in Janille's back yard was the perfect setting for a set of family pictures. Plus Kenadee is growing up so fast i cant take enough pictures!
