Kids Say the Funniest Things

At the end of February we went to a wedding reception for Brian’s nephew.
I left to run to the store for a few minutes and missed them doing the garter & bouquet throws.
Brian had updated me on how Paxton managed to catch the garter, look at it, make a face & throw it down when he realized where it came from or what it was, etc.
Today Courtney (his nephew’s new wife) sent me this pic of him – hilarious!
This is the conversation we had about it:
Paxton sees me looking at this picture and says “that’s me, I look weird.”
So I just asked him “what is that you are holding?”
He said “it’s a bra girls put on their legs, yuck.”
I said “why are you holding it?”
“Cuz I caught it” he said & then he laughs.
I said “why isn’t it on the girl’s leg?”
He said “cuz they took it off” and he laughed again and ran off.
A little later he came by and still saw the picture up and said,
“I didn’t even want it, it’s a girly, girl thing.”
So when Parker got home from school I showed him the picture & asked him what that thing was in Paxton's hand. He said “it goes on a babies head, a guy threw it out and Paxton caught it.”
It gave me and Brian a good laugh for the day. (And Brian claims one day Paxton will even want that girly, girl thing. :)
One more funny thing I wanted to mention since I'm talking about the funny things kids say. Today I was talking to Paxton's preschool teacher and she said the other day Paxton was telling her how his "new dad has a bald head. That means he has no hair...." I've noticed he is quite intrigued by the fact that Brian shaves his head and "has no hair." (I love that sexy, shaved head by the way!!!!!:)

Engagement and Family Pictures

Shane Marshall took these awesome engagement and family pictures for us a couple of weeks ago. If anyone needs a photographer he does a GREAT job!! Just contact me and I'll give you his info. He does a lot of action photography for the sports programs around here (so for those interested in getting action shots of their kids playing sports and things like that he's your man.)

Shane took these pictures for us at the old Sugar Beet Factory and at some railroad tracks by where the old auction place in Palmyra used to be. The weather was beautiful and everyone seemed happy with the results. (I think the outfit color coordination turned out good right?)

Don't we make a cute little family (Brian is such a hottie! Can't wait to marry him! :) I can't wait to get some of these printed and hung up in our new house after we are married. We are putting 4 of them on our wedding invites - 2 of just us & 2 of ALL of us together, it should turn out real nice!

Paxton, Parker, Brian, me, Madi & Morgan

Paxton's Field Trip to the Pet Store

Here are some cute pics of Paxton's preschool class on a field trip to the pet store this week.

BUDDIES - Paxton & Michael & Chelsea

Thanks Gina for going on the field trip with them and taking pictures of the kids.

This slacker mom was off looking at wedding dresses instead. I did have a great time with my 2 sister in laws, cousin Caroline & friend Susie looking for dresses and guess what? I found "the one"!! So I feel like I'm now one big step closer to being ready for my wedding!!!! This week we also got Brian a ring and I met with the florist. Last week we got the tuxes taken care of so now Morgan, Madi & myself need to go dress shopping for them! Then if I could just sell my house this week I'd be all set and ready for this wedding (which is only 41 days away, but who's keeping track right? :)

So I know this is a quick post but I discovered today that my mom reads the blog sometimes and was "embarrassed" by the stuff I said in the book club post about my upcoming honeymoon so I thought I'd get another post up there so the book club one isn't the latest one showing. Well......it's the truth mom. I'm going to be doing all that kind of stuff when the next book club is taking place and I can't wait!!!! ha ha - she is so going to kill me when she reads this again. :)

No really I know it's been awhile since I last posted something but I've just been so busy these last few weeks I don't feel like I have much time for extra things like blogging or blog stalking. The first week I was busy cleaning like a mad woman so they could come take pictures of my house that is up for sale (to put on the internet.) If you check it out on http://www.mls.com/ it is MLS # 865240. I have to admit it shows quite nicely on there, now if someone would just agree with me & buy it!!! Then we had to get engagement/family pictures taken so I had to get us all coordinating outfits (and this really takes work & effort to do.) I'll create another separate post on our engagement/family pics - they turned out fabulous! After that it was the Relief Society birthday party that I was in charge of. So finally this week I was able to focus on getting a dress and luckily found one fairly quickly. So that is what has been going on in our lives lately. Fun & hectic huh??
