Scrub-a-dub-dub

Scrub-a-dub-dub... Paxton in the tub haha that is what I sing when I am giving Paxton a bath. Usually I am the one taking care of him during bath time, but Austin wanted to have a go at it tonight. That gave me time to finally snap some pics since I have been wanting to document Paxton in the bath for a while. I think these next pictures describe how Paxton felt about the change....

At first he was a little confused as to why dad was the one giving him a bath. Look at that face! haha 

He had to get some reassurance from mom that it was ok for dad to be performing bath time...

In the end he was all smiles, and loved bath time with dad!! 

Now that dad knows what he is doing, I think he might be in charge more often ;D 

First Halloween!

Not only was this Paxton's first Halloween, it was his first holiday to celebrate! Last Wednesday our church had a trunk-or-treat, so we took Paxton and had a blast. I bought his outfit before he was even born, and I was so glad it fit him for the night :)

As we were taking this picture of Paxton he was just being such a character! I was dying laughing :) He has become so smily lately and I love it!!

I took this picture last night on the actual Halloween night. We didn't do much, just hung out as a family and ate our left over candy ;)

Grand Canyon Road Trip

Austin just finished up with another rotation, so over the weekend we decided we needed to take a little family vacation and get out of Glendale for a few days. We have tried planning trips to northern Arizona before, but always came up with an excuse not to do it. Well this time we were going to be adventurous! Austin finished up with a test Friday morning, and then we were off to Flagstaff for the night! This was Paxton's first road trip and he did great :D He slept most of the time which made for a nice drive.

It was so crazy as we made the two hour drive to Flagstaff how much the landscape changed! One minute it is cactus and desert, and the next it is beautiful trees and forests. 

Paxton had never really experienced anything below 70 degrees, so arriving in Flagstaff and feeling the cool 40 degree air on his face was quite a shock! He did get to use some of the cute sweaters that grandma got for him though :D

Saturday we got all ready and made another short drive to the Grand Canyon. It was absolutely beautiful once we made it there. We made it to the first look out point and all the sudden Austin tells me not to turn around. I then hear a few people exclaiming that there was a tarantula!! Those nasty spiders are my BIGGEST fear! Everyone around was look and taking pictures, but I just wanted to get as far away from it as I could! After that we had a great time walking around and taking lots of pictures. We only went to one lookout point, but you could literally spend days going to all the different sights.

We had to try out our panoramic feature on the iphone

Happy Boy at the Grand Canyon!

We really did have such a fun time making memories together as a family :)
