The hut...

Living in a hotel you have to get created to keep a toddler entertained. So the other day i built him a hut under our computer table and put his little dvd player in there. Right now he is really into mickey mouse movies and toy story. So he watched toy story with all of his mickey mouse toys. It was so fun to peek in at him.





Dinner at Sadies...

All last week the weather was so nice and sunny and then saturday comes and of course it rained all day long! The one day the guys have off work. So, after not doing anything all day we were all dying to get out and do SOMETHING. We had heard from a local about this cool restaurant down on the beach so we got in the cars and headed that way. When we got there we found out that it was not a restaurant but a bar. Lets just say the people there weren't the kind of people i wanted around Paxton. The smoking and drinking was to much to handle, it was just not a comfortable situation, so back in the car we went. We ended up at the hotel us girls bike to almost everyday and use their beach. We decided to try out there restaurant and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious! We will be heading back there for sure one of these nights!

Hat like dad's...

The other day Daniel surprised Paxton with a dump truck toy, a hard hat, and a little shovel and rake. Paxton was excited to say the least! He loves that he has a work hat just like dad's. He wants to be just like his dad and i'm so glad. The hat is a little big but he will just have to grow into it.

"Alligator"...

The other night daniel found a gecko outside our hotel room. Paxton has always called lizards "alligators" and this time was no exception! At first he was a little nervous to hold it but warmed up really fast! By the time it was time to let it go he didnt want to! He would have kept it forever! I was amazed at how soft Paxton was with it, he never tried to squeeze it. He would pet its little head, it was seriously so sweet. I love how daniel is always finding him little animals to play with. He's such a good dad! I remember when i was little my dad would always bring animals home with him from work. I would get so excited and i think that is how i grew to love animals so much. I'm so glad that daniel is doing the same thing with Paxton:)

Church...

I really like the church that we go to. Luckily the english branch is pretty close to our hotel, there are only 2 or 3 on the whole island and they are on the other side. The church building is a big square but the middle of it is wide open with grass and plants, its really cool. Us white people make up probably 1/4 of the whole branch so they love having us here! I'm just waiting for them to ask us to speak, i know its just a matter of time.


The Park...

Today we needed to do some laundry so we decided to go do it later in the day when its a lot cooler since the place doesnt have air conditioning. We put our clothes in the washer and headed down the street to the park so Paxton could play and not be cooped up in the laundry mat for two hours!! poor kid is already in the hotel enough, so a little fresh air was really nice! He loves going to the park and he had a blast at this one! He is getting so big, he can do pretty much everything all by himself. He even goes down the slide all alone, usually he wants to hold someones hand but not anymore!! I wish time would slow down, its fun seeing him grow and get more and more independent but i know one of these days i'm going to wake up and he'll be all grown up. I love him so much and i'm so grateful that he chose me to be his mom!
