Paxton's 6th Birthday

Last Thursday night we had Paxton's birthday party down at the professional building. He has been obsessed with magic lately so we found this magician to come and perform at his party. He did a great job and Paxton and the rest of the kids liked him a lot. Shelley made his top hat cake (thanks again on a great job!!). We had our family for Sunday lunch to celebrate his actual birthday.

"Camping"

Yesterday afternoon Paxton and I made a little fire pit down the hill next to the garage. Then we set up the tent. We had a little fire in the fire pit and roasted some marshmallows. Johanna and Shaelyn sat around the fire with us. They went inside when it was time to go to bed while Paxton and I spent the night in the tent. We read a couple of stories in the tent before we went to bed. It was a fun time and a nice cool night for tenting. The nice thing was it was a short walk to breakfast and the comforts of home!! Now it is back to school and work tomorrow.

Dirt-y Boy

Friday we had some dirt delivered to the house so we can finish off some more of the yard. Paxton had so much fun playing on the piles when he got home from school. He didn't like having to get hosed off with the COLD water before he came inside. Now the piles are spread out so the fun is over, but it was good while it lasted!!
