Christmas Photos of the Boys

2010-02-09T18:16:00.000-08:00

We had such a great Christmas. Our families had a great time spoiling our boys, as did we. They got tons of stuff that just reinforced how truly spoiled we all are. Enjoy our memories, that were caught on film. Happy Holidays, hope your new year is great!

My big brother Parker, showing me the ropes...

My brother Parker is great, he is already teaching me so much. In these pictures we went to the Mid-Buchanan Santa festival. As you can see he had a great time making things with mom and dad but he really loved the cookies and jumping in the shredded paper pit. Then he taught me that you sit on Santa's lap and carry on conversations all about life with the big guy, many people think these conversations focus on what you want for Christmas, but my brother he knows otherwise...

All of my many faces...

As you will see in the following pictures I am a very loved little boy. There are so many people who think I am the most precious thing on the planet. These pictures include my cousin Tennyson feeding me, he sure loves to help and thinks babies are the greatest "toy" in the world; I love my vibrating bouncy seat, it just makes me happy; you all know it to be true, but I thought I would remind you that "my mom is hot", I love the water, just like my big brother Parker, mom takes lots of great shots of us in the tub; Parker is kissing me, we just love each other to death and think we're both precious; mom, Parker and I dressed up in our camo to support daddy on a hunting trip; Another picture in the tub, rub-a-dub-dub; Parker and I at Aunt Kaylee and Kassie's ballgame, he's cheering me up; Grandma Betty rocking me and my three month shot in Dale Jr garb. As you can see I have many faces and have the best family in the world.

Paxton Robert Moppin joined us here on September 10, 2009. He weighed in at 8lbs. 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. He was welcomed into this world by his big brother Parker who was overjoyed at his arrival. Here are some shots from the hospital. I know it's been a while since he was born and there will be posts to follow this one with updated pictures of the boys.

So I finally got the pictures to post. These are during our hospital stay, as you can tell he's really loved by everyone however hates the carseat. I will try and upload more since then in the next post. Thanks for following us.

Omaha Zoo

2009-08-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

We took our first family vacation last week! We drove up to Omaha Thursday 8/13 afternoon and just relaxed, went to some shops, cabela's and just swam and stuff at the hotel that night and then friday we got up and went to the zoo all day and drove back that afternoon. Our hotel was past the zoo a little but was right between a mall and cabela's so it was pretty nice and on the way out we stopped by the bass pro shop. It was so nice to get away and just spend some time alone with Parker one last time before baby brother gets here!

Worlds of Fun

2009-08-18T12:26:00.001-07:00

On 8/7 Gary and I took Parker to Worlds of Fun with Gary's family. Parker did awesome aside from the lack of nap so he was kind of zombified the first part of the day. He rode every ride they would let him on, big and little kid ones! Gary got to ride some rides in Camp Snoopy and the Wacky Worm kids coaster which i'm sure he was stoked about!! haha..

Baby Showers for Paxton!

On July 19, Hayley Wood and Maria Rodriguez had a baby shower at Bandana's Barbecue which went very well, lots of people, fun games, and great presents! On July 26, the following weekend, Lindsay and Steph had one in Union Star which again, much appreciated, and great stuff!!

Paxton's room in progress, new family additions!

Mom ordered a crib for the baby and had it shipped to the house so we got it together and her and dad brought down a rocking chair and dresser for the boys to have and dad hung some shelves in the closet.. Everything is starting to come together! We also got a puppy, Dodger, he's a miniature pinscher as well as a goat, Nanny, which i'm not really sure about.. Gary had some weeds he wanted cleaned up so for ten bucks Nanny came home. Parker loves it, he just wants to ride her until it comes time to jump on then he's not so into the idea!

Baby Boy!

Hey everyone!! Gary and I went to the doctor's appointment today for the sex and discovered it is most definitely a little man... The sonographer said he had a beautiful spine, fluid in his stomach which meant he is drinking the amniotic fluid which is good, there is urine in his bladder which means the kidneys are doing their job is well so everything is great thus far!

Hello everyone! I figured I would get started on a page so that the farther along i get the easier hopefully it is to keep new pictures and information updated! So Gary and I are expecting a baby due September 14th. We waited a long time before telling anyone just to be safe that everything was okay i guess... We found out the weekend of his contest in Kansas City, of course it was an all expense paid weekend where all drinks and stuff were paid for so it was kind of awkward to not have people find out but i think it all worked out okay. I went to the doctor on February 11th, they said that would be 8 weeks, the sonogram put me at being 9 1/2 so pushed things right along! i have been somewhat sick the last month which blew but i think for the most part its gone, just a bit here and there sometimes. I am trying to get some sonogram pictures onto here so there may be some but not yet! I went back to the doctor March 18th and heard the heartbeat and they said everything looked great i go back April 22nd to see the sex which i cant wait for!!
