Oh My Goodness!

We had our family pictures done a couple weeks ago... by a girl I knew in high school. And let me just tell you how much I LOVE THEM!!!!! I am obsessed, and she is amazingly talented! (check out her very creative shoots Here) Jaxon was not in a super smiley mood, but she had soooo much patience with him (and us) and got some great pictures! So because I can't pick just a few favorites, this will be a long post full of pictures from our shoot! :)Told ya there would be a lot of pictures! And I have SOOOOO many more that are just amazing!! Maybe I will add more to FB or something! :) Thanks again Janika!!

Update!

I feel like our blog is pretty boring... and I don't know how to make it more exciting! But... regardless, it's time for an update! We stay busy. And we love it! Jaxon and I made a little trip to the zoo with our besties!! It was a perfect day!
This tiger was pacing up and down the fence.... the kids were fascinated with him!

I really wanted a picture of us... he was thrilled!

This last Sunday, in our typical "we can't sit a home for too long" style... we headed up the canyon to walk around the reservoir.He could have spent all day throwing rock, after rock, after rock into the little stream. The simple pleasures of a toddler.

Date Night!

Last weekend Joel and I got to go on a date.... a concert. Now before I go further let me explain how excited Joel was about this! A little over 2 years ago, while we lived in Missouri, we got Joel Blink182 tickets. They are one of his fav's and they were finally coming to an area near us. Well a few weeks before the concert, one of the band members had a family emergency (a death, I think), and they cancelled the concert. We got our money back, but Joel was pretty bummed. So a few months ago he heard they were back on tour... and coming to SLC! He about died! So of course we got tickets and went! I have to say the concert was much more fun then I thought! Plus.... I had roasted almonds and a great date to keep me happy! :)Tomorrow night.... guess where I will be??? With my sister?? RASCAL FLATTS concert! Could I be more excited?? Well maybe... cuz Taylor Swift is in 3 weeks! :) Yeah I'm spoiled! :) AND our family pictures are next week.... pray for good weather and a cooperative/smiley child {and hubby}! :)
