The Job...

We have been here in Samoa for two months now. The boys work so hard everyday and you can really tell. So much has changed and i just have to say that i am so proud of daniel for being such a hard worker. He hurt his leg a couple weeks ago. He tore his MCL ligament in his knee. Every night he ices it, elevaltes it, sleeps with pillows under his knee, wears a special brace, and takes medicine, and he STILL goes to work with out complaining at all. I know he must be hurting so bad. I'm so grateful for such a hard working husband!!

Movie Night...

Almost every night daniel and i watch a movie together before going to bed. Its just nice to relax and hang out, especially after he has had a long hard day at work. We go to the little movie store we have here and rent a movie, and of course Paxton gets to rent a movie too. He loves looking at all the movies and picking out his own. He feels like a big boy. This is him enjoying his movie and popcorn in his bed. He does really good and stays in his own bed for about 1/2 to 3/4 of the movie. It gives daniel and I some alone time even though Paxton is in the same room. Its a fun little tradition we have here and we all love it.

Surprise visit to St. George...

On August 18th Paxton and I flew back home to St. George with my dad and sister. It was Kelcie's birthday on the 17th and my moms was coming up on the 21st. My mom knew that my dad and sister were coming home but had no idea that paxton and i were too. We were going to surprise her for her birthday. It was a long 21 hours until we were finally home but it was all worth it seeing the look on my mom's face when she saw us! She was SHOCKED. Its so great when surprised actually come through and work. It was a fun filled week that consisted of eating, and playing! I cant believe i only took pictures on the day we took paxton to " jump in jacks". He was such a big boy and did all the huge slides. He loved it and i did too. It was so good to be home, even if it was just for a week. I felt like i had never left. I miss my family so much and can't wait to see them again!

The Beach...

Ok, So i know i have a lot of catching up to do! I cant believe it has been an entire month since my last post. That is just crazy to me. Time has gone by so fast. Here are a few pictures of Daniel and Paxton at the beach. Paxton loves playing with his dad in the "sand box", and i love watching them play together. It so cute how Paxton wants to be and do everything just like his dad.
