It's A Girl!!

It's a GIRL...officially. We went to our ultrasound on Tuesday and got the official news. Chad is excited even though he vowed he only produces boys. Haha! We are very excited and I can't wait to start planning, decorating and going broke. It looks like we are in for another big baby. The ultrasound tech was suprised at her double chin and huge belly...amazing what they can tell from an ultrasound. We are very excited and can't believe that it's only a few months away.

Happy Thanksgiving

This year, we went to Logan for Thanksgiving to celebrate with my grandma and grandpa. It was freezing, especially when we left vegas and it was still in the 80's. It was Jaxon's first time being in cold weather but it didn't seem to bother him. He always wanted to be outside and loved petting the horses...even though he was very scared. We had a good time but it was good to be home in Vegas where it's nice and toasty.

Congratulations J!

This weekend, my little sister J got married. It was so much fun. All of our family was able to be here. It was very busy but Jaxon loved all the attention and friends to play with. J looked beautiful and both the bride and groom looked very much in love! Congrats J & Chris!

Jaxon loves to dance so he learned a few new dance moves...and would have danced the whole night if the music hadn't stopped.

Feeding the Ducks

We took Jaxon to the state park to feed the ducks. It was quite an experience. First, there were the birds that kinda of looked like ducks ( Chad thought they were half pigeon half duck). We gave Jaxon bread to feed them but there is no way he is going to give up food so he ate the bread instead. Then, we went to look for the swans because then Jaxon could see how big and pretty they are...did I forget to mention MEAN. The swans started chasing, yes chasing us, and we had to run to the other side of the park. We really thought we were going to die but we survived...and it was fun.

Halloween Festivities

We did lots of fun things for Halloween. For playgroup, we decorated "pumpkin tins" and Jaxon loved painting even though he ended up with most of the paint on his clothes. We took him to his first pumpkin patch and he had so much fun. He went for a train ride, fed the animals at the petting zoo (even though he tried to eat the food himself), and went down the big slide all by himself.

I am so proud! I made his Halloween costume this year (with alot of help from my friend Jen). He looked so cute and was the cutest elephant at the Halloween party. He got good use of it too! My mom had her annual Halloween party and we went to two trunk or treats. Surprisingly, he kept it on the whole night and didn't try to take the hoodie off. He caught right on to the trick or treating game. He went right up to the cars and help out his bag for candy, while doing a little dance. He only made it to a few cars before he sat down in the middle of the parking lot trying to eat his candy.

Lots of Excitement!

So, I am probably a disgrace to the blogging world but it has been a very busy couple of months. I am finishing up my bachelor's degree and had to do clinicals and in between trying to chase around a very busy 16 month old and take care of my family.

I went for an ultrasound with some friends from the ward down at the Bellagio and they told me they are pretty sure we are having a girl!! Yeah!! I won't find out for sure until the end of November but we are excited. Chad still doesn't believe that it's a girl so we will see...we will be happy either way. It's so cute because Jaxon has this baby doll that he found at my mom's and is so cute with it. He gives it loves and hugs. Chad is mortified that he likes playing with dolls but I think it is cute and is only preparing him for the new baby.

Jaxon has had lots of adventures these last few months. He discovered the sand box and we can't keep him out of it. We went to Red Rock with his playgroup, first time at Chucky Cheese, played the big piano at FAO Schwartz, got an autograph from Pete Rose and had his first ice cream cone. He is getting so big and learning to do so many things on his own. Very indepedent! He keeps us busy but we love him so much.
