Merry Christmas!

We have had a great Christmas this year. We have filled December with lots of fun things to do and it made the season last a little bit longer. Jaxon was so much fun on Christmas morning. He loved opening his gifs and really liked what he got. It was so cute trying to see him figure out what to do with everything.... and he only pulled the Christmas tree over once this entire month. (not so fun.)

We saw lots of different lights as we drove all over town and his favorite thing to say was "wow! lights!" Anytime he saw Santa (or anything that looks like Santa) he said "ho,ho,ho!". We had a great time and are sad to see that it has already come and gone. But mostly we are grateful for our Saviour and all of the sacrifies he has made on our behalf.

We hope you all had a safe and Merry Christmas!!!

Trouble!

Yes - that is ketchup all throughout his hair! Chad thought it would be a lovely idea to introduce Jaxon to ketchup and show him how to dip (hotdogs, chicken nuggets, etc.) I usually try to keep things simple and what he doesn't know doesn't hurt right? I left Jaxon under Chad's supervision for less than two minutes and this is what I come back to...natural hilights. It is good to know that after you wipe it out..it is instant gel. His hair looked great the rest of the day.

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.
