FINGER PAINT!!!!!

Stef had to do a project for school that involved doing an activity with kids! So we got some paper, finger paint and invited Jaxons friend Paityn over for some MESSY fun!

Ready to start painting!

It turned messy really fast!!!
All done! Those are 2 cute messy kids with Stef!We took them both straight to the tub! They thought it was pretty fun to play in there together!

Of course we got a kiss picture!! AWWW!!!Thanks Stef for getting messy and playing with them! They both loved it!!!

Labor Day Weekend!

Gotta LOVE 3 day weekends! Joel works full time and goes straight to school almost every night. He also has classes on Saturday morning! So our time with him is limited! Well when 3 day weekends come around we make the most of it by squeezing in as many fun things as we can!
This weekend was filled with many FUN firsts.....

~First BYU football game of the season!~
(Which meant wearing his new jersey and playing at Gma and Gpa's house!)

~First CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER!~
(Right before the game Joels parents gave Jaxon his Christmas present early so he can enjoy it before winter comes!)
Sand and Water! So messy but he loves it!!

~First Movie!~
(We took Jaxon to see Toy Story 3! He was in awe of the huge screen and loved the WHOLE movie!)
~First day of Nursery!~
(Joel and Jaxon had matching ties! AW!)My big boy! Im in love with toddler ties! He even left it on the whole time we were at church! First day of nursery was a breeze.. except for the fat lip he got from another little boy! But he didn't even notice mom and dad were gone! He just played like a good boy!

Jaxon is....

18 months today!!
~C.R.A.Z.Y.~
No one could have prepared me for this stage!
I LOVE IT (even though its busy)!!!!!
He loves learning new things.. and he learns fast!
The kid has spunk though...
He tests limits everyday!
But all in all is pretty good.
We have some crazy days around here!
He loves to chase and be chased!
He is sooooo bossy! He likes to grab our pant legs and lead us to where he wants us to sit, or play or whatever that little brain desires! Cardinal sin if we don't follow and behave!
Mister chatter box grows his vocab every day! Recent favs: up, down (referring to stairs), body parts (nose, eyes, ears, bum bum - haha), more, baby, grapes, door, hot, baseball and football (yep he knows the difference), and of course poo poo. He so sweetly informs me when its time for a diaper change!

We went to the doctor today! 3 sad shots.
Weight: 22.5 lbs (10th percentile)
Height: 31.5 in (25th percentile)
Head: 30th percentile
So he is skinny, but getting taller! I love him just the way he is!

We spent most of August sick... either him or I.
That meant lots of lazy days in comfy clothes!
It also meant child boredom because we were quarantined from the world. The result....

TOYS EVERYWHERE! This was 5 minutes after he woke up from a nap (I cleaned up everything while he was sleeping!)

As promised - pictures of our evening up the canyon! Joel made tinfoil dinners and we took my mom and her friend up with us to play and eat! Jaxon loved the dirt, rocks, sticks and of course the "hot" fire!~ "Hot Dada, Hot" ~~ "Coloring" in the dirt ~

~ He would not look at the camera for ANYTHING!

He was too busy exploring and getting dirty! ~

~ Being chased by Abuela! Told you he loves it! I love this picture! ~

Happy 1/2 birthday baby boy! Your dad and I love you to pieces and have so much fun with you! Even though your not a baby I reserve the right to call you that as long as I please! :)
