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!

Buried Boy

Today at the beach daniel and landon buried paxton in the sand. i thought he was going to hate it and cry but he LOVED it! he kept saying "more, more" and so they would bury him deeper and deeper. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect! Paxton doesnt like being at the beach during the middle of the day because he says its "too hot" and he's right! so today we went at like 4:30 and it was great!!

scenery

I took these pictures on saturday when we went to the beach, i love it here, i still can't get over how green it is here and how blue and clear the water is. It's been raining all morning today, and when it rains it POURS! I love hearing it come down on the roof of our little hotel!

Laundry Day, Boys day off, and My little cheeser

Paxton cracks me up everyday, he does the silliest things! Today he kept saying "CHEESE" really loud and then would give me the goofiest little smile. I seriously love him so much!

Friday was laundry day this week. Last week we did it on a saturday and i felt like we spent the guys whole day off doing laundry, so this week us girls attempted to do all the laundry by ourselves which is not an easy task considering we have to load it all up and drive it to the laundry mat. I did mine, Daniel's, Paxton's, and Landon's so that he didnt have to do his saturday, so i had five loads. Kaitlyn also had five loads because she did my dad's and Mallory and Olivia had two or three. I felt like we took up every washer and dryer in the whole place.

Us girls, we were SOOO hot while doing laundry. There is no A.C in the laundry mat, plus with 40 dryers going all at the same time you can only imagine what it felt like. We were all so sweaty. We decided to take the laundry back to the hotel to fold it, we didn't want to be there for one second longer.

There are two types of washers here, one is $1.50 which has hot water, and the other is $1.00 which doesn't have hot water. All of the dryers are $1.00 so we are able to do laundry for $5.00. I kind of like only doing laundry once a week, its nice doing all of the loads at once.

Today on the guy's day off we all hoped in the car and drove until we found a beach that we liked. The guys snorkled of course and us girls hung out at the beach. The sand at the beach was amazing!! It was so soft and had absolutely no rocks. It looked like it had gold and diamond pieces in it.

Crazy Boy

Paxton is not even two yet and he knows how to work our ipad better than i do!! I ask HIM how to do things on it and he shows me without even thinking twice! i love how smart he is, but sometimes he is to smart for his own good:)

He loves watching movies on his own personal little t.v. He would seriously watch movies all day if i would let him. I limit him on how much he is allowed to watch because it cant be healthy staring at a screen all day. Every night before bed me and daniel watch a movie in our bed and paxton watches a movie in his little bed on his little t.v. I think him settling down and laying in bed and just relaxing before he actually goes to sleep helps him sleep at night because he has been doing so good! Usually either daniel or I have to lay with him until he goes to sleep or else he has a panic attack, he doesnt like to be alone, but ever since we have been doing this new routine we havent had to do that and it has been SOOOO nice!!

Bike Rides

I am so glad that we all decided to bring our bikes out here! its so much fun being able to take our bikes to the beach, its a lot faster than walking. its a great work out too! Paxton loves riding in his seat and he gets so excited when i tell him we are going to go for a ride.

Today at the beach Paxton told me there was an alligator in the tree. (he calls lizards alligators). when i looked for it i couldn't see it anywhere, i asked him "where'd it go?" and he told me that it "flied away". hmmmm...i think he was just telling me a good story? he cracks me up with the things that he comes up with. Then he told me that pa will catch him an alligator after work. i love that little man!!

Beach Bum

Today we rode our bikes to the beach and hung out for a little while. Paxton kept telling me it was "too hot" and that he wanted to go home so we didn't stay for long today. He is so weird sometimes, he'd rather sit in our little hotel room and watch his mickey mouse movies than be playing outside at the beach!! he is crazy! I love it here!
