Chuck-E-Cheese

So for those of you who go to Chuck-E-Cheese a lot, this might not seem like a big deal, but for Caiden it was. Way back about a year ago we promised Caiden we would take him to Chuck-E Cheese if he was dry at night for a whole month straight. Well he finally managed that so we held true to our promise and took him for a night of fun, fun, fun!Whenever he saw a commercial for Chuck E Cheese on TV he would always ask me if there was a real mouse there. My reply was that I didn't know and we would have to go there one day and find out. He was so happy to see that there was a real mouse there and he was nice enough to come over and pose for a picture with him! Best night ever!
I think Jayson had just as much fun playing the games as Caiden did. He did really well at ski ball and basketball, which Caiden was ok with cause it earned him more tickets towards his fabulous prize- a bendy straw and an Air Head candy!
Paxton seemed to like all the excitement too! The pizza was not too bad, but overpriced and they did have a lot of games to play, but again, overpriced. We spent a lot of money, but Caiden had lots of fun and besides, he deserved it cause it's tough to not wet the bed right?

Sledding!

We missed a really big storm while we were in Arizona, but luckily the snow stuck around for a while and I decided not to be a stick in the mud and took my kids sledding for Paxton's birthday. This is how the event went:
Preparation time (putting on coats, gloves, boots, etc): 20 min
Drive time: 10 min round trip
Actual sledding time: about 25 min.
Paxton crying from being cold, wet, and hungry: 10 min
We actually went sledding again today and Paxton loved it even more! I made sure he was as warm as possible, but he actually got down and rolled in the snow more than the first time so he still got wet and cold, but he smiled a lot more today than last time.

Paxton turns one!

Paxton had his first birthday on Jan 11! He is growing so big and fast that we can hardly believe it! He is 29.5 inches tall and weighs in at 20 lbs 11 oz. He is about 25th percentile for height and weight. His head, on the other hand, is 90th percentile! It's like an orange on a toothpick! Ha Ha. He could only take a few steps on his birthday, but now he can go everywhere and get into everything! He can blow kisses and say, Hi and Uh Oh, and clap his hands. We couldn't be more proud-even if he does have a huge cranium! Opening a fun present from grandma and grandpa.

Having his first big bite of birthday cake-Yum!
