Well if you haven't already heard Jen is pregnant! She is about 3 1/2 months along. The baby is due on December 7th, which is Jen's birthday as well! We tried an ultrasound already, but unfortunately the umbilical cord was in the way. Will the Seader trend of girls continue? Hopefully we'll find out in another month or so. We can't wait for our new addition to the family! Jen is doing great, especially considering Paiton's non-stop energy! We'll keep you posted!

Paiton Tree Dance

2010-06-08T13:03:00.000-07:00

She was taking care of...business out by the tree when dad approached. Thought it was a funny video.

Its been a while

2010-05-04T12:01:00.000-07:00

I have been such a blog slacker lately. Nothing too exciting has happened these past few months. We got Disneyland passes and Paiton has been enjoying our trips there. Paiton is now saying a lot of words, her favorites are super random like "trash", "teeth" and "cheese". Paiton is into everything and has had a few bumps and one big bruise over the past few months. Paiton runs everywhere now and insists on doing everythig herself, she is becoming such a big girl.

Paiton is ONE!

2010-01-31T22:49:00.000-08:00

Paiton is already one year old, it is crazy how time has gone by so fast. Now that Paiton is one, she enjoys walking everywhere, and I mean everywhere, she refuses to be held or put in the stroller for too long, she is our little explorer. Paiton also LOVES music and dancing her new favorite is ring around the rosies. Paiton still doesn't like to eat but she is obsessed with chocolate and since her Grandma Ginger has been visiting she has discovered mini mmnm's and gummy bears.

Paiton had a Elmo birthday party, I really don't like Elmo but Paiton can't get enough of him. We all had a great time with friends and family. Paiton loved all her presents, but especially enjoys her keyboard. She is our liitle Motzart.

Oct and Nov.

2009-11-14T10:58:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't posted pics in a while, we have been super busy and our computer is dowm again for the second time in two months. Luckily Clint is able to fix it on his own!We also got a new camera so we have tons of pictures.Paiton had a great first Halloween and looked so adorable as a ladybug. We went to our ward's trunk or treat and on Halloween went over to Grandma's house.

Aunt Sarah came to visit this past week and we had a great time together, we wish she could have stayed longer.

We went to the San Diego Zoo this week and fell in love with all the animals. We were amazed to see so many of God's beautiful creations. Paiton loved the animals especially the baby gorilla, polar bears, and flamingos. If you haven't been there before you should definetly plan a trip it is worth the drive and money.

On Vetrans day we played disc golf or as Clint likes to call it "Frolfing". It was super fun and Paiton was a trooper in her jogging stroller. Our arms were so sore the next day, from lack of exercise, but it was really fun.

Happy Halloween

Paiton is nine months old

2009-10-08T11:22:00.000-07:00

Time is flying by so fast...Paiton is already nine months old. We had her check up yesterday and she is the 50th percentile for both height and weight. Paiton is still as curious as ever and loves to explore. Paiton's personality is so funny, she makes me laugh everyday...she is incredibly stubborn and sneaky...the other day she opened the pantry and somehow got out the baking soda and spilled it everywhere and thought it would be a great snack too. Paiton also loves other babies and kids, she is always trying to kiss other kids...watch out. She kisses babies, but she bites her mommy, we should dress her up as a vampire for Halloween instead of a ladybug. Anyway, we are so in love with Paiton she is so adorable, hope you like the pics.

Tall Ships Festival

2009-09-15T19:32:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we spent the day at the Tall Ships Festival at Dana Point Harbor. The weather was perfect, the food was great, the ships were cool, and the pirates were out in full force. We really loved all the pirates, they take reinactments very serious...Clint and I wondered if these pirates actually had day jobs, they were too convincing.
The ocean institute in on the harbor there, so Paiton was able to see all kinds of sea life and even a bird show. Paiton loves animals, you could say she is obsessed. It is so awesome to watch her little eyes light up when she sees something for the very first time.

Paiton at 8 months

2009-09-04T09:53:00.001-07:00

8 Months

2009-09-02T11:27:00.000-07:00

Today Paiton is eight months old, I can't believe it- she is getting so big. Paiton got her first tooth yesterday (bottom right), I thought the day would never come. Now that Paiton is eight months old she loves to stand on everything, she has been pulling herself up on furniture for about a month now...tables,chairs, couches, and she especially loves to stand up in her crib when she is supposed to be sleeping. Paiton also loves food now, mostly meat, I know gross, but I am just happy that she is eating. I weighed Paiton yesterday and she is 19lbs, we will be buying a new car seat pretty soon. Paiton is still not sleeping through the night, but last night she only woke up once, although I woke up several times anticiapting her waking up.
We are so in love with our precious baby and thank our Heavenly Father every day for blessing us with her, we can't imagine our lives without her.
We will post pics soon, our computer needs to be fixed and I am not sure how to download pics to the labtop.

2009-08-26T13:09:00.001-07:00

Clint had off work this past Monday, so we started the day off with a hike in the back bay of Newport Beach. It was so great to be out in nature. Clint and I love hiking and hope to make it a weekly family event. If anyone knows any good hikes in orange county, let us know, they can't be too hard since we have our little one. After the hike, we tried out El Matador mexican food in Newport, it was tasty, and then headed off to the Irvine pool. It was such a fun Monday, I wish Clint had every Monday off.

Cousin Love

2009-08-20T14:55:00.000-07:00

I was able to meet up with my cousins, Nicole and Chelsea for lunch today. I am so glad that we are all in So-cal right now! Paiton loved her sweet cousins. Thanks to my awesome hubby who came along so that I could talk and eat!
Ona side note, I think Paiton will be getting a tooth any day now, she is drooling more and is super cranky.

Paiton and Rusty

2009-08-16T07:44:00.000-07:00

This past week Paiton and I went to visit her great grandma Betty and her dog Rusty. Paiton is obsessed with dogs and she was so excited to play with a dog that was at her level, she is so used to the huge golden retrievers, so it was so fun to watch her crawl after little Rusty. I am posting a video, excuse my annoying voice. Hope eveyone is having a great summer.

Fun with the Reynolds

2009-08-09T10:27:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we went over to our good friends the Reynolds house for a game day. We played the wii resort games, learned a new card game, and played some old favorites. Paiton loved watching daddy play the wii. the Reynolds made us a yummy dinner and were great hosts. We also loved meeting Josh's parents. Thanks for a fun Saturday Reynolds family.

2009-08-07T16:19:00.000-07:00

So, Paiton has been crawling for about three weeks now and she is into everything! She especially enjoys cords. We just started the process of baby proofing our apartment. I thought these pics were cute of Paiton. Don't you love how she is eating the bumper for the bookshelf, she mocks babyproofing.

2009-08-04T16:52:00.001-07:00

This past weekend we headed out to St. Louis Missouri for Tyler and Patty's sealing. Paiton did great on the long flights and slept most of the time, she is a great traveler. The sealing was beautiful and we loved being with our family in the temple. We had a great time with all the Seaders/Suters/Swarts/Arroyoa families. The reception was a blast we all danced are booties off. We feel so blessed to have such great families and to have had this opportunity to see everyone. We are so happy for Tyler and Patricia and know they will have a wonderful marriage. Hope you like the pics.

Weekend Fun

2009-07-26T09:14:00.000-07:00

We have been busy these past few weekends enjoying summer. A few weekends ago we went up to the beach house to celebrate Hal's 80th birthday and rented a boat for a cruise of the harbor. Clint was a great captain and kept us on course. We also went to the beach and Paiton loved playing with the sand, (she didn't even put any in her mouth, she also loved seeing the big waves, but she didn't like the feezing cold temperature of the ocean water. Yesterday we went up to my mom's house to swim and Paiton loved her new floatie. Paiton loves her big brother and sister (a.k.a. Diogi and Stormy the golden retrievers, she wanted to swim with them.
Paiton also had her first flight last week to Montana to visit her Aunt Sarah and Grandpa Keith, she did really well. I will post pics as soon as I can figure out how to download them from our video camera.
We hope all our friends and family are enjoying summer as well!

Baby Carson has arrived!

2009-07-10T10:13:00.001-07:00

Our good friends Matt and Michelle welcomed their beautiful baby into the world on Tuesday July 7. I was able to go and visit them yesterday and I loved holding baby Carson in my arms, it made me baby hungry. I can't even remember Paiton ever beig that small, she is growing up way too fast. Every time Carson cried Paiton seemed so confused, it was pretty funny-I don't think she is ready for another baby in our family yet.

Here are a few pics of Paiton attempting to eat in her high chair...she would much rather play with the food than eat it. I thought she would love food since she is obsessed with breast feeding, but not so much.

Paiton is Six months old!

2009-07-08T08:45:00.000-07:00

Paiton is now six months old, time has went by so fast. Paiton weighs 17lbs 8 oz. (70th percentile), height is 25.5 inches (50th percentile). Paiton can now sit up all by herself. The other day I put her down for her nap and went into check on her and she was sitting up in her crib. We had to lower her crib last night. Paiton is trying to crawl she gets up on all fours and rocks before face planting. Paiton loves to play with her toys, take baths, take walks, and listen to music. We are so grateful for our healthy happy baby.

2009-07-06T18:26:00.000-07:00

Clint and Paiton on Father's Day. Paiton is such a Daddy's girl- I love it! I am so grateful for Clint and the amazing father he is to our daughter. I have loved watching Clint be a father, he has so much love in his heart for our family. Paiton and I love you very much and thank you for making us laugh and smile every day. I also want to thank my dad for being such a great father and for always being there for me through out my life.

Isn't she adorable? Our little sunflower.

I love how Paiton is looking far off in this pic.

2009-06-20T23:17:00.000-07:00

This was then...I think 2004...the girls of the "cockroach motel". We had a roomie reunion today and it was such a blast to be with old pals and laugh at all our ridiculous antics. There was our incredibly messy room (maainly my fault), countless bugs, broken showerheads, wobbly tables, an ugly lime green couch, Latorr having her own room while three of us shared a bedroom, ants on the walls and other nameless items, yelling neighbors, weird guys...I can go on and on. We laughed so hard today, I have so many great memories with Jamie, Emileah, and Latorr. I love you girls so much, thanks for making my college years so memorable.

This is now 2009, all grown up and somewhat mature, I hope. Jamie is married annd expecting her first child, Latorr has a successfull career and is applying for grad programs, Emileah is expecting her second child soon, and I am a happy mother of a beautiful baby girl. Wow...we made it, we are adults now!

2009-06-17T15:35:00.001-07:00

This past weekend we went to our local park to see a car show and it was so cool to see all the neat cars. Paiton especially enjoyed the restored 1902 fire engine and dalmation named blaze. We also explored the park and were amazed at how beautiful the park is...we kept asking ourselves why we hadn't taken advantage of this park more often since we live so close to it...but we are now. Paiton is growing so fast she is about 5 and half months old and is sitting up on her own, babbling and screeching a lot, grabbing all her toys, and rolling everywhere. We hope you enjoy the pics.

2009-05-19T12:42:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday we went down to Oxnard, Ca for the annual Strawberry Festival. We got our fill of strawberries, we ate: Strawberry nachos, strawberry funnel cake, chocolate dipped strawberries, strawberry lemonade, and strawberry smoothies. Paiton looked so adorable in her stawberry outfit,(thanks Grandma Lynn), she was the strawberry princess. Paiton is getting so big she is 4 and a half month now. We are loving watching her grow and learn new things.

2009-04-20T08:22:00.001-07:00

We had a great week visiting with Aunt Sarah. On Saturday we went down to Coronal Del Mar and enjoyed the beach and the gorgeous weather. We also went to Sprinkles cupcakes and devoured some yummy cupcakes. We miss Aunt Sarah already and wish she lived closer. Love you Auntie Sarah.

2009-04-16T14:38:00.000-07:00

Paiton had her first photo shoot this past Saturday. Here are a few of the pics that we loved, she has so much personality.

2009-04-15T13:51:00.001-07:00

Happy Springtime friends! Paiton turned three months a week ago! She is getting so big, I want her to stay an infant forever. In the past few weeks Paiton has started to giggle and smile more, chew on anything she can manage to get in her mouth (we think she may be getting a tooth soon), sleep in her crib through the night, reach and grasp her toys, and can almost turn herself over. It is crazy how time flies by so fast. I am enjoying each stage Paiton is going through.
We celebrated Easter with friends and family and Paiton loved all the toys the Easter bunny and Grandma Lynn brought her. We are so grateful for the true meaning of Easter and for the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
This week Aunt Sarah is visiting from Montana and we are so thrilled to have her visit us. Paiton is loving spending time with her Auntie.
We hope all of our friends and family had a wonderful Easter, we love you all.

Happy st. patricks day

Paiton at 10 weeks

2009-03-13T17:47:00.000-07:00

This past week Paiton and I went to Burbank to visit friends and family and my mom snapped a few cute pics of Paiton, so I thought i would post them for all to see.

Paiton's baby blessing

2009-03-03T18:40:00.000-08:00

This past weekend we had Paiton's baby blessing and it was so awesome to celebrate her special day with friends and family. It is hard to believe that Paiton is already two months old now. Some of the things that Paiton loves to do right now are: listening to music, watching her lights on her baby einstein playmat, cooing at her mom and dad,taking a bath, eating(she takes after her mom), playing airplane with dad, and being rocked and held. Clint and I are loving parenthood it is such a honor to be Paiton's parents and we are so thankful for our parents who loved and nurtured us and taught us how to be good parents. We are also most thankful for our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ and for the love we have felt from them all of our lives. I have posted a few of our favorite pics over this past month, we hope you enjoy them.

2009-01-18T13:05:00.000-08:00

We love being new parents to Paiton

Christmas 2008

2008-12-28T12:08:00.001-08:00

This year we celebrated Christmas with my mom and family at their beach house in Oxnard, Ca.
It was so awesome to be with friends and family, and to have Sarah home for the holidays. We ate so much yummy food, played board games, and enjoyed just being with each other. We are so grateful that we have such wonderful family members to share the holiday season with.
Clint is not in any of the pics because he was taking them all, next time I will have to take over the camera to get some pics of him. Clint and I are anxiously awaiting the birth of our baby girl and our really hoping she will make her debut this week. We are also so grateful for this time of year and the blessing and gift of our Savior Jesus Christ, he is the reason for all the happiness in our lives. We hope you all have a Happy New Year!

Tea Party

Maternity Photos

2008-11-24T12:34:00.001-08:00

A friend in our ward volunteered to take some maternity photos for us, so I thought I would share my favorites. These were taken about a week or so ago and I feel like I have doubled in size since then. We are getting so excited to see our baby girl. We still haven't decided on a name, we like, or should I say I like, Stella Rose, Clint like Peyton and we both agree on Ellie...so we will have to see what happens.

Baby Shower

2008-11-13T22:31:00.001-08:00

Here are just a few pics from my baby shower. It was so awesome! I am so grateful for everyone who came and for those who planned it. It was a wonderful celebration. These are two of my friends from Burbank High School, they are so great.

Halloween Bunny

2008-11-02T17:55:00.003-08:00

Clint and I laughed so hard putting Bunnard's Halloween
outfit on. Isn't he adorable. We thought he was
a size xxsmall, but apparently, like
his mother, he has gained a bit of weight.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Solvang 2008

2008-10-31T10:52:00.001-07:00

This past weekend was Clint and I's two year anniversary
so we went up to Mom and Mike's beach house for
a few days. It was super relaxing and the weather was
great. We went on walks to the beach and I even rode
the beach cruiser around. We just loved being able to spend
so much time together away from our every day routines.
Clint and I decided to check out a cute little
Danish town called Solvang, since it was only about
an hour from the beach house.
The town was super adorable, we ate authentic
Danish cuisine
and saw mini horses and mules.
It was an interesting place.
Fun times.

2008-10-30T07:21:00.000-07:00

This is a pic of my mom and me, isn't she cute...I love when she comes by to visit. Thanks mom for being the best ever!

Big Bear Trip

2008-10-23T08:38:00.001-07:00

Clint surprised me with a romantic weekend trip to Big Bear this past weekend. We had such a great time relaxing, eating, hiking, and enjoying the beautiful mountains. We stayed at the most adorable cabin, it was so cozy. It was the most perfect "Babymoon". I am so grateful for such an amazing husband, he makes every moment special in my life.

Ward Campout

2008-09-30T09:53:00.000-07:00

Last Friday night was our ward camping trip and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to use the tent we received as a wedding gift, almost two years ago, for the first time. Clint was a bit hesitant with me being preggers and all, but we toughed it out. The frequent night trips, without a flashlight, to the bathroom were comical. Luckily we did have an air mattress, I wouldn't have made it without it. It was an experience to say the least. Here are a few pics...my camera died and we didn't get too many.

Me, pigging out! It's what I do best these days.

My lover and I.

My friend Holly and I sitting around the campfire.

Getting bigger every day!

2008-09-29T18:17:00.001-07:00

Here I am at about 6 months, it's crazy how fast I am growing.

2008-09-19T16:53:00.000-07:00

Cousin Reunion! Today I had lunch with my cousins, aren't they so cute. I hadn't seen my cousin Chelsea in over ten years(she is the one on the left), it was so awesome to see her and catch up with her. I love that my cousins all live in orange county, we haven't been in the same area since we were toddlers. I love my cousins!

2008-09-10T19:07:00.000-07:00

We went up to the American River in the Sacramento area with our friends a few weeks ago...I am totally terrified of cliff jumping...

2008-09-10T11:16:00.000-07:00

You have all been asking to see a preggers picture, so here it is. I am definetly showing a lot more these days. This Picture was taken last week and I've already grown, its crazy.

Baby Girl Seader

2008-09-05T22:39:00.001-07:00

We are so excited to be expecting a precious baby girl. Jen is a little over five months pregnant now and is feeling much better now that she is in the second trimester. We wanted to share with you a few of our favorite ultrasound pictures from our 20 week ultrasound as well as a healthy heart video, we hope you enjoy them!
