Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day!!!

Joel is such a good daddy!! He is sooooo good with Jaxon and loves to play with him! It's one of my favorite things to watch! They play and laugh for hours and hours and it melts my heart!! The interaction between a father and son is priceless! They have a special relationship and I love to see them together! I always hoped I would have a mamas boy.. and I kinda do! But lets be honest... Jaxon ADORES his dad more then anyone in the world! It makes me happy!
Thanks love for all you do for our little family! We could not ask for more!
Next, my dad!! He is a wonderful father and has always been there for me! He is full of good advice and is always in a good mood!! Plus, who can resist laughing at his corny jokes! :) I missed him so much when we lived out of the state! I am so glad we live closer to you and get to see you multiple times through out the week! He is also a wonderful grandpa! Jaxon thinks it's the funnest thing to go to his house and play with the dogs and cats and explore his big back yard with grandpa in tow!!

Last, but certainly not least, my father-in-law! He is a kind, loving man who raised 3 wonderful boys! One thing I appreciate the most is the time he took while raising his kids to TEACH them! He taught them everything! When he had to fix something, he let them watch and they learned how to do it themselves! You better believe that comes in handy now! :) Jaxon loves Grandpa B and his sense of humor! He loves to go out and look at the horses with grandpa and play!! He also loves to read books with grandpa! ( Yeah I fail... I have no recent pictures of him with Jaxon! We will have to work on that!)

Happy Fathers Day to all of the fathers in the world! You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and do a great job!!!

Risky Business

I think the pictures speak for themselves! It was one of those Sundays! :)
( Can you see his tan lines? Yeah the lower 1/2 of his legs are way darker! He tans like his Mom and Dad!)

Post that Never Ends! :)

Jaxon is 15 months old!

We went to the Dr last week..
He started crying hysterically as soon as he saw the bed
And he cried and cried the whole time we were there!
Had to get 3 shots and cried even more!
We were both traumatized by the whole experience.
But we got new stats!
Weight: 21.9 lbs (15th percentile)
Height: 30.1 inches (25th percentile)
Head: 50th percentile
THIS IS GOOD NEWS!!
He has been under the 10th percentile almost his whole life!

Next, my friend Jamie and I took our kiddos to Gymboree.
Paityn is her name, they are official now!
They hold hands in the car, laugh at each others jokes,
And share their snacks!
Cute couple right? :)

Ok, here comes the true picture overload!
Camping Trip at Yuba Lake with the Browns this weekend was GREAT!
Showers and bathrooms were divine!
I'm not a true camper Joel informed me... oh well.
Jaxon was dirty... REALLY dirty! (thank you shower, we needed you!)
He loved the rocks, sand, mud, and of course.. WATER!

By the end of the day, he was worn out.
So he missed out on s'mores!
Clearly I didn't! MMM MMM MMM!
They were amazing! Joel is a pro at them! :)

Tyler and Melanie introduced me to
ROASTED STARBURSTS!
They were a hit!
(Best picture I had)

Next morning, the birds woke Jaxon up at 5:00 am!!!!
Wonderful... but we did get some cuddling out of him!
Breakfast, morning nap, clean up, and playing in the grass...
(Him and Tyler were growling)

Then.... THE BEACH!!!!! (again!)
Tractors float.. and are fun to chase!

Motorized Nemo! He swims even in the waves!
I am scared of fish.. this was too realistic for me.
CREEPY cuz it looks real!
But Jaxon was LOVING it!

Playing in the sand! Oh how dirty you were!
But how could I stop you....
I have never seen you so excited!
You seemed to have the time of your life!
Get those fingernails dirty and ENJOY babe!

The pictures ended when you decided sand should be your lunch!

Silly boy!

I stayed behind the camera as much as possible!
Allergies will be the death of me.
Joel and his dad were busy fishing and playing!
FUN weekend! We got tan and played till we dropped!
WE LOVE SUMMER!

Pretty Please!!!!

I entered Jaxon into a Baby Idol contest on a local radio station! I would very much appreciate anyone who hasn't voted already go vote for my little man! :) Go HERE... he is number 75!! Thanks!
I got Jaxon's pictures back! (I get free coupons all the time.. so I must use them!) I am so happy I went when I did.... the next day he decided to walk! So these are his I-am-walking-pictures! :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!

"I'm a big boy now!"

Little smile!
My FAVORITE! check out those biceps! :)

Walkin the Walk!!!

We have been trying to get Jaxon to walk for a while now! He has gotten really good at walking with us while holding on to 1 finger... then we let go.. he takes a couple steps... then plops down waiting for us! Well as of May 21, 2010 that is no longer the case! Not only can he talk the talk... but he can now WALK the WALK!!!
I sat him down on the floor after lunch and he grabbed my finger like he wanted to walk. So I got up and started to lead him out of the kitchen... well after about 3 steps he pushed my hand away and off he went!!! He is LOVING all the attention I am giving him about this! It's so exciting and we are very proud of him! Luckily I had the camera handy and got a video! The scream of excitement is my favorite!! Towards the end you can hear him ask "Whats that?" Then he gets mad when he can't have the camera! HAHA!
He still needs to master how to get up by himself... but that will come! I am just excited to document this huge milestone for him!!! Good job little man!

CHEESE!!!

I got out the camera yesterday... and taught Jaxon how to say cheese! It sounds like "EESE!" But for some reason this is the silly face that goes with it! :)

He is learning more and more everyday!

Newest additions to the vocab list.....
" is that?" (what is that?)
"airs dad?" (where's dad?)
"Hi"
"Hey, Hey Hey"
"Nigh, Nigh!" (and lays his head down)
Animal noises: dog, cat, cow, and fish are the favs right now!
"WHOA!!!"

Random Things He LOVES :

Light Switches
Watching cars go by ("vroom vroom")
Being chased around the house
Playing "nigh, nigh" (lays wherever he is and pretends to go to sleep)
Emptying the baskets with his socks, sweatpants, and pj's and throwing them EVERYWHERE!
Nutrigrain bars and Teddy Grams
Knocking on doors and windows saying "Hi"
Reading the FOOT BOOK!! - By far his favorite! We read it MULTIPLE time a day!
Chases me trying to kiss or bite my feet... I know weird!
Pointing at everything saying "Is that?" (whats that)
And...Chewing on his fingers..
I did end up getting a few cute pictures! Sorry ALL of my blogging is about Jaxon... but my life is pretty boring with out him! :) Our lives revolve around this little man and we would have it no other way!

Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day!! I LOVE BEING A MOM! It's a lot of work, but I would have it no other way! I also LOVE my mom! She is such a great example to me and is the funnest person to be around! I love my mother-in-law! She is so sweet and loving! I love all of the other mothers around me.. I look up to all of you! I hope everyone had a great Mothers Day!!! It really is a special day!

Mothers Day is a little bitter sweet for me... for some reason it brings back the emotions of the baby we lost a few years ago. But I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE JAXON!! He is the best baby/toddler and I love him to pieces! I am so blessed to be his mom and I am thankful for him everyday! My love for him grows everyday! I just have to focus on that!

** Joel got me a REALLY big purse!! So you will no longer see me carrying a diaper bag AND a purse! YAY!!!!! (why we didn't do this to begin with.. I will never know!) **

I love my family!

14 Months

Jaxon turned 14 months on Monday! He is so fun, but boy is he mischievous! He gets into everything... and he is not even walking yet! Yep... my little man is still crawling around! Guess it works for now! He will take 2-3 steps towards us, his record is 5! But no real walking yet! Oh well, guess I shouldn't complain right? I have a little more control of him until then! :) I was going through old pictures of him and found this picture we took exactly a year ago!
How cute and little was he??? I love this picture of my boys! This next picture is from a few days ago... when it was warm! He was exploring the flowers! Don't worry.. I made sure there were no bees first! But he would not look at me for anything in the world.. this was as good as it got! :)

" K, Mom I will look at the camera ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY! Now will you please just let me play?"

Poor Jaxon is sick today! He got a cold from somewhere.. ( um church?), and is getting 2 teeth on top! His afternoon nap today was over 3 hours long... He is miserable and it makes me so sad! Hopefully he gets over it SOON! I don't like it when he is sick :(

* Oh and sorry if my last post was confusing! NOPE... I am NOT pregnant! I am getting a brother.. not Jaxon :) *
