Play ball 5-12-10

Now that soccer is finished we are on to the next sport, baseball. Last year he played t-ball, so I think this year will be a little different. There are a lot of things that I would like to say but at this time I will keep it between me and people who come to watch him play. This year Trevor (Daxton's biological father) is helping out as an assistant coach. And I think he does a good job. Daxton is one of there best players. He has a good knowledge of the game and he has been praticing batting with his dad since last year.
This was at the end of the game. He was so excited that he would hold still so I could get a good picture.
Daxton is the farthest kid on the right. When Daxton go to the game he didn't know what to do with his shirt. Then he noted by himself that some of the kids had their shirts tucked in. So in the picture above he is tucking his shirt in.
Still on the right, now he is ready to play
I was trying to get a picture of Daxton running but he was too fast. I managed to get a picture of Trevor running :)
Daxton was the fastest runner on his team
The first pitch, he missed. He is used to having Trevor pitch to him at a much faster speed so he swung to fast.
Second pitch was too slow also
He hit it...see it in the sky
Run, Daxton, run!!!
Daxt0n on first. Yes that looks like a picture of Trevor but I was trying to get a picture of Daxton without walking right onto the field. haha
Daxton running home
Safe
Getting high fives, what a stud

Great game Daxton!

St. George 5-5-9-10

It is family tradition to go to St. George every year. My dad goes down for a trucking convention and we kind of used his room. I have been going since I can remember. It started out at just my mom and dad and me and Caden. Now its a party! This year my grandma was able to join us. We always have a lot of fun. People ask us what we do. The answer to that is nothing. We have no plans. We just go down there and swim, eat and shop. Its a great get away. My sister-in-law came down with my nieces but they had to leave before we took the picture. Her parents have a house in St. George so they where kind enough to let us stay there. Very nice people, and a huge thanks to them.
This is the crew Peggy (mom), Kalie, Grandma, Tahnee, Daxton and I and RaCinda. Not in the picture was my Dad who was taking it and KrisAnn and Aubrey and Sienna
The best thing about the Cox's house is their pool! This is Daxton jumping off the waterfall. He is a complete fish. If you look hard you can see my dad in the bottom left of this picture...hi dad
Swimming! I am in the pink tube. I was watching Daxton rock jump until he noticed that I was in a device that he would be more then happy to dump me out of. Aubrey is right next to me swimming with the blue floaters.
Daxton and his kick board, which we had to purchase because Aubrey had one
First let me tell you that Daxton is funny. He has a great sense of humor. He insisted that we take his picture with his but pretending to be on a cactus. So funny! I have to tell what happened to Sienna and I. When we first got there the kids wanted to go out back and play so I took them out. I walked around the property to make sure that they would be ok out there. The only danger I saw was the cactus. So I told Daxton (who was the oldest) to stay away from that side of the house. I went inside to make some plans with the girls. Then I could hear the kids on the side of the house where the cactus are. I though oh crap, so I rushed out there and sure enough they where walking through all of the cactus. I told them to get away form them. I picked up Sienna (who is 20 months) by her arms to get her away for them and it hurt like crazy! Sure enough she had touched the cactus. She had needles all over her. So I touched her as little as I could and brought her into the house. Well, we spend the next hour with tweezers trying to get the needles out of us. Poor Sienna had them everywhere! I just had them on my hands and hip from picking her up. Man, I had no idea how bad that hurts. They are like slivers, but you cant see them.
This is a picture of Daxton shopping. I found this great place to stick him with the DS so I could do some shopping. Looks like he didn't mind, he is so cute!
This is Grandma and Daxton getting a message
Trying to entertain Daxton in the mall

So we have wanted these scooter thing for a long time. Then when we where at the outlets we found them at the toy store for $40 instead of the $75 that we found them for. We where so excited. My mom bought one and I bought one for Daxton. Being that Daxton is so funny, he said "guys i know what we need to do. Lets go back to the motel and have scooter races!" He was so excited that we just couldn't say no. So everyone but Grandma Mitton had races. I guess I am retarded because I can't figure them out.
Tradition is to go to Fiesta Fun and ride the go karts. Being that Tahnee is prego she couldn't this year...poor girl. So it was just Kalie and Daxton and I. We had fun.
Daxton told me that we won the race
Daxton wanted to do bumper boats. I felt bad because he was the only one who wanted to do it. But in the end he didn't mind. There where two other little boys for him to get.
THE END :(

Mallow Roast 4-14-2010

We had been outside playing soccer, then Daxton decided that he wanted to do a fire. Being that my dad is the propane man that he is he has a fire pit in his back yard. So I went up town to get some marshmallows for them to roast. Daxton did a great job!
Hummm, is it roasted
lets see
Eric and Ashley joining the party
such a cute picture
Daxton and his "roasted" marshmallow ;)
