BOWFLEX ULTIMATE

I thought I would do a bit of advertising on our blog. If you or anyone you know wants a bowlfex, we got it right here! It's in excellent condition. Almost brand new. Has all the parts to it, hardly been used. ONLY $400 compared to brand new at $1900 Now I'd say that's a spankin good deal. Now here's a little funny story. This morning Pax dropped me off at work, but he always comes in and uses the computer for a little bit. Well this morning he thought he'd get the Bowflex advertised on CraigsList. So he was working on the text, like what people can read as they're looking at the pics. ANd he wrote all this stuff, some of what I said above, and some more detailed stuff. Anyway, and then at the end he wrote "See the pictures for yourself." And I just laughed so hard. He sounded like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. "See for yourself." Can't you picture Pax saying that in the voice of Kip, which he does such a good job at. Hahaha. And he didn't think anything of that phrase in the ad. So I was like Dont say 'See for yourself' Oh man, it's just funny because the language of Kip has become part of Paxton's vocabulary and voice. I don't know, I thought it was funny.
ANYWAY, tell your friends and fam about the bowflex, if they want one! OK

Pillow Talk

Well, we are settled into our apartment now, with everything in it's place. It feels good to have it all done. For a present for our new apartment, Paxton's mother bought us a new bed set- the whole works. I really love the accent pillows, they're awesome. We love it. It's all very soft- the sheets aren't 750 thread or whatever you call it as Chris Lingafelter prefers, but we like it at about 250-300. ha. Anyway, we really like the colors and design. It looks really good in our apartment too. THANK YOU ANN, We absolutely love it.
We also have to thank Steve because he gave us our couches and coffee table and stuff. Pretty much ALL our furniture is from Ann and Steve. We don't know what we would've done without it. So Thank You Steve also. Our apartment looks so nice because of them. I'll have to do another video of OUR apartment now. Sometime...




This is the bed skirt - so cute.

" I Caught You a Delicious Bass"

So Paxton gets bored during the days since he isn't working and has nothing really to do. He has his class to study for, but he doesn't wanna be studying all day everyday. BORING. Well, there a sweet little lake in front of Ann's house and you can see tons of fishes jumpin in the water and swimming around. So Pax decided to go to Wal-mart and buy himself a fishing rod and a pair of wading boots. I was at work when he started fishing, but he told me he had bought everything to go fishing. Well he didn't buy real worms to use as bait, but he bought a fake, rubber worm and tried to use that. The first day of fishing was unsuccessful. Fishies don't smell rubber, they smell REAL worms. SO- the next day Pax went to Heather's yard and dug out real worms. He went out to the lake and tried again. After just a few times of throws- or whatever you call it.. he caught a fish!! He called me at work to tell me he caught one. I was so excited!! I told him to save it till I get home. And I told him to take pictures of it, and pictures of him holding it up while it's still on the hook. So- that picture of him, he took it himself! Amazing eh? Anyway, the first pictures are of the first day when he didn't catch anything, but of course the last couple are from the second day. I'm so proud of him! Great job baby! Oh- and it isn't a bass... it's a catfish. :)


He was trying to find worms as bait. The fake rubber worm just wasn't working because it had no smell to it. Too bad we can't buy some worm spray to put on the rubber worm. That'd be kinda cool.


Digging again for worms. We couldn't find any because it's all clay. I don't think worms would live in wet clay, they probably wouldn't be able to get around. So, we unfortunately couldn't find any.


Ann let me wear her gardening, fishing boots. I didn't want to get all muddy.


Here's the fisherman, waiting patiently, reeling slowly.


Here you can kinda see the bobber-- it looks like an eyeball. There were lots of little fishies jumpin and you could see the fins and a ripple wherever they were.



He finally caught one! YAY!!



And here is the "delicious bass"- catfish!

Go-tee-Guy

Hey- just wanted to post this pic to show everyone how cute Paxton is with his goatee! He had been growing it for a few days, but had to shave it for the temple. Anyway, isn't he cute?

SNAKE SLAYER!

Alright guys- this is a crazy, gross, scary, and cool story! There was a huge storm last week- like Wednesday night or something--- and anyway, at Ann and Steve's house that night, Ann was standing on the front porch watching the end of the storm go past and was standing there for about 3 minutes. Then she turned around to go back inside and found a HUGE snake all coiled up in the corner right by the front door! It terrified Ann, and she turned and ran to the back of the house. Ann has a tremendous phobia of snakes, so it absolutely horrified her to see that ugly wretched snake ready to strike at her! YIKES- i think that would freak ANYBODY out- I don't care who you are-- well unless you're the crocodile hunter. Anyway, so Ann called Paxton and told him about it all, and was so scared. Pax, me, Chris & Sarah were gone, driving back home from hanging out- so we hurried home and got in the house. We were looking for it in the yard and driveway but never found it. So then, we were hungry and wanted to cook some steaks on the grill on the back porch, and Pax didn't know how to start it so he asked if Ann could help him. Paxton went outside first to check and see if there were snakes, and he came back and was like OHH- the snake is out there! Right there! Everyone thought he was joking- pretty cruel joke.. but NO it was the SNAKE-- AGAIN! What was he doin hangin out around this house-- especially ANN'S!?!?! So the girls were freakin out while Pax and Chris got shovels to kill this sucker! They worked together to hold the head down, and guillotine this serpent!! So here's the pic of Paxton, the Snake Slayer holding the serpent with the murder weapon! It sure was a long snake eh?




Here's what was left of the snake on Ann's back porch! YUCK. Pax cleaned it off right away though- so he could still BBQ those steaks we were lookin forward to!
