When Dad's Away, We Play!

For the month of March Austin had to leave us for a rotation in Prescott. It was not fun being without him! We only lasted for one week before we headed back to Texas for some help and company. We always have such a fun time in Texas, and this trip was no different!

Loving time with Aunt Jessica :) 

My mom kept the old high chair from when I was a little baby, so we pulled it out for Paxton to use. 

All ready before Sunday church

After a week Lexi, came out from Idaho to join the party! Things really got fun once Jessica's spring break started, and Lexi was around to play :D 

Dad was gone, so Jessica took on the role of chef and made us all mini apple pies :) 

Growing up in a house full of girls, there aren't many boy toys around for Paxton to play with. This is about the only thing, a fire truck to ride around on. In the mean time, Paxton basically became a doll for all us girls to pose him on different props while we took pictures haha poor guy! 

By this point Paxton had enough, he was going to chew on the piano to make us stop haha 

Monday we went out for some mani and pedi's. Paxton was such a good boy! He fell asleep the whole time we were there but probably from boredom haha 

Another day we went to the movie Oz. Grandma had the magic touch and kept Paxton asleep the whole movie! 

We took a trip down to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. They weren't really in bloom yet, but it was still nice to get out for the day. 

That night we went out for some good Texas BBQ :) 

Friday was finally the day Paxton had been waiting for. Now more girly things, but a trip to the zoo! In all honesty he had no idea what was going on, and was more intrigued by the fences, ropes and birds, but it was still fun! 

Saturday I thought I had booked my flight for 7:30am but soon realized I booked the 7:30pm flight! It left us more time to spend with family which we loved, but meant for a long night for Pax and me. 

We really missed Austin and were so excited to see him when we got back, but as always we missed our family. It is always bitter sweet to leave. We are sure glad that rotation is over though! 

Sunday was none other than St. Patrick's day. Paxton had to wear some green for the occasion!
