Jaxon loves his baby sister!

Jaxon loves animals and Cori. He is always trying to give her his animals (which is rare because he doesn't share them very easily) and play with her. I put her on the couch and within minutes this is what she looked liked...enjoying every minute of it.

He loves her so much!!

Happy Birthday Jaxon!!

It's so hard to believe that my lil' man is two years old. These past two years have been a blast... (except for the temper tantrums and screaming fits :) It's hard to remember the times before he came. He is precious though and has brought so much joy to our lives. He does the funniest things and always makes you feel good. He has always been a very good baby and that same temperament has stayed with him (most of the time). My favorite is that he loves to cuddle with me...especially in the morning. I bring him into bed around 6 (hoping he'll let me sleep for at least 15 more minutes) and he wraps both arms around my neck, pushes his cheek against mine and goes back to sleep..I don't get much sleep but I treasure every moment of it. He is a great big brother and feel very blessed to have him...we love you jaxon!!!

My Lil' Cowboy





What a stud muffin! My mom had a cowboy roundup and took all of her boy grandkids for the weekend. Jaxon looked so cute in his cowboy outfit with boots and everything (thanks Leigh)! I couldn't help but smile as we went to take their pictures and he was just struttin' around in his boots and hat! We took their pictures at Floyd Lamb Park and then they went back to grandma and grandpa's house for cowboy games and activities. They slept under the stars and went to Calico, California the next morning. It's an old ghost town. They rode a train, watched cowboys have a gun fight and so much more! And the most exciting part was that I had a fun free night with Chad...and we slept in the next morning! Thanks grandma and grandpa!

What we've been up to....

Sorry for the very long post but....it has been a very busy couple of weeks. My sisters and their kids have been in town and we have been busy swimming and finding fun things to do. Of course I took a million pics and it is so hard to pic just one! So I hope you enjoy!!


Bounce U
So we've found a new place to go this summer. It is an indoor warehouse filled with jump houses. It doesn't cost hardly anything and Jaxon was totally worn out by the time we got home. I can't wait to go again! All of my nieces and nephews were in town so my mom treated us to a fun afternoon. Thanks mom!

My Little Girl Is 2 Months Old!
Cori is getting so big! It's hard to believe that she is already 2 months old. She is such a good baby and we feel incredibly blessed to have another sweet spirit in our home. She smiles all the time...it is so much fun to wake up to her smiling face. And even though it looks like her brother is attacking her, she loves every moment of it. She smiles when she see him and he talks to her and she talks back...how cute!


Tea Time
My mom and sister decided to have a Victorian Tea Party since all of the grandkids were in town. Only the girls went and learned proper etiquette and how to drink tea (lemonade). Everyone dressed up...even little Cori! My sister and mom are so creative...it must of skipped my genes.


Jaxon's Almost Two!
I can't believe that my other baby is almost two! We celebrated his birthday because all of my family is in town and we thought it would be fun if all the cousins could be together...all 17 of them. We had pizza and went swimming! It was a little crazy with so many kids in the pool but they had a blast and Jaxon couldn't wait to get to play with all of his new toys! He got a little impatient opening them but he survived. His Grandma Leavitt puts candy on the outside of his presents (it's a tradition) and we kept catching him sneak the candy! We let him...just because it was his birthday!

Cori's Big Day


I know this post is a little late...but at least I'm posting. It seems like I'm always two weeks behind so no big deal! Chad blessed Cori the first Sunday in June and gave a beautiful blessing. Cori behaved well and looked beautiful in her white blessing dress. Thanks for all those who came and supported us...and thanks to Uncle Chris for taking some awesome pics!

Comparing Babies

It's amazing how much these two kids look alike. I guess we won't have much surprise with the next one. It's a good thing one is in pink and the other blue! Their mannerisms are so much alike it's kinda scary although Cori has developed a little attitude...just preparing us for the drama to come...


Both of my kids sleep with their hands right next to their faces. Cori likes to pull the blanket over her head and I am constantly checking her and having to pull it down.

Our First Road Trip

On spur of the moment, we decided to travel to Colorado for Chad's cousins wedding....little did we know that we would travel over 1500 miles and visit 4 different states. Our first stop was in St. George, Utah for the sealing. Chad went to the sealing while I hung out with the kids in the waiting room. Jaxon did great except for hanging up the phone when this little old lady was trying to talk to her phone company....oops!We then drove to Grand Junction, Colorado for the reception the following night. Of course I didn't take any pics of the bride but this is Jaxon dancing with the ladies...girls better watch out. He went to one of his cousins and grabbed her hands to dance (so cute) but the first girl (the one to the right) told him no so when she wanted to dance later he wouldn't have anything to do with her.

We then went to Mesa Verdes near Durango, Colorado. It's an ancient ruin sites from over 1400 years ago. These people built their cities in the sides of mountains. It was pretty cool to see how they built their homes and why they did in the side of the mountain. Jaxon sitting in the home of one of the ancient ruins.
Of couse, Colorado is beautiful and we decided that we would like to live there someday...or at least during the summer since it is the end of May and there is still snow on the ground!
We then went to Silverton, Colorado which is an old mining town. Jaxon's favorite part was seeing the "choo choo" train. We actually got to go inside the mine and have a tour of how they panned for gold. It was a little creepy but very interesting even though the whole time I kept thinking we need to get out before it caves in.... :) We started back to Vegas and decided to go to the Grand Canyon. On the way, we stopped at Four Corners Monument (which is not as big of a deal as we thought it would be...so don't make a special trip if you ever wanted to see it!)
Finally, we stopped at the Grand Canyon in Arizona and stayed for about 2 hours as we went to the visitors center and walked along the south rim. Our kids are great travelers especially because we were in the car so much! Most of the time they both slept! We feel very blessed to have such great kids.
This is one of my favorite/funniest pics of Jaxon. He wanted me to take a picture of him and put on a big fake smile! Cori making sure she is being heard! Both of my kids sleeping...what they did the whole trip! Cori has bubbles on her mouth but the camera doesn't do it justice.
