{Lions & Tigers & Paxton's....Oh my!!!}

While the tatter tots were down for Halloween my parents played hooky for the day and took us all to the ZOO!!! Best thing ever! We went on a Tuesday afternoon in the fall = perfect weather and NO crowds! There were spots in the Zoo where we were the only ones there! PERFECT! We had so much fun, I can't wait to take Paxton next year when he'll be walking and excited to see the animals!

Our little family's first trip to the zoo! 

Love my family!

One of the best pictures ever! Paxton is "eating" his daddy! Ahhhhh


Love my boys!

Okay you know this spot, right? Well when I held Paxton up to the Infant one he was the exact same size as a baby Gorilla!!! (See how he's lower in the pic...he really was the same size when I held him up all the way)
So for the rest of the time at the zoo and even now I joke that I have a baby Gorilla! 

Cousin Emory is a big Gorilla too! So dang cute!

Pops and Paxton

My little guy

Had to have a picture with the Gorilla

 Sweet baby Gorilla of ours! Since my son is a baby Gorilla does this now mean I'm a Gorilla?? 
Hmmm....something to think about...

Pops and a swan that he literally had eating out of his hand!



Such a perfectly fun day at the zoo! Thanks Gammy and Pops for taking us all!!!

{Halloween}

I think one of the best things about having Paxton is that every thing is fun and new again! Even though he had no idea what was going on it was still so fun to just have him there! We went to trunk-or-treat with Grammy, Pops and the tatter tots! Then went to my parents for some home made chili and corn bread...Mmmmmm

Paxton & Mommy
 (Sorry about the weird flash thingy on my ear-ring, good thing it's Halloween I guess)

See that look in Uncle Nashie & Auntie Heather's eyes? Yeah they would steal Mr. Peanut 
(but only for a minute hehehe)

Paxton was sitting with Poppy watching all the "treaters" and I guess it just tuckered him right out!

Don't know who Sari is glaring at but that's why we love her.

{Little Pumpkin}


My mom and I took Paxton to a pumpkin patch to help us pick out pumpkins for our Grandpa Pumpkins. What's a Grandpa pumpkin you ask? Well my Grandpa would make every family (in our family) a special pumpkin with the same magic marker face every year and would leave it on our door steps. Since my Grandpa has passed away my mom and I have carried on the tradition for all of our family. This year we had a very special helper! 

I thought it would be fun to put this cute hat on the Pax Man and then stick him in a pile of  pumpkins!!!









Here's Paxton with all the Grandpa Pumpkins!!



And just some random cute pictures from that night =)




First big SMILE caught on camera!!!
