Halloween Festivities

I decided I was going to step it up this year for Halloween. So I had a dinner planned with all sorts of cute treats and decorations, we were going to go to Boo at the Zoo, and to the church carnival. And then it hit...THE FLU! Instead we have spent the last few days with both boys sick, so my plans of putting a little more into this holiday went out the window. We were able to at least go around the block and trick or treat. Jaxon sure played the part of a pirate saying...."Ahoy Matey! Arrrrr, give me a treat!" (so polite, right?) And Crew was the cutest dragon I have ever seen!




And some other pictures from the pumpkin patch and Mike and Jaxon carving them, or "starving them" as Jaxon would say.

October so far

Last weekend we headed out to do some fishing with the boys. We didn't have much luck catching any fish, but the boys had so much fun getting dirty, eating McDonalds breakfast and throwing rocks in the water, who needs fish right? We went with our friends the Littlefields and Jason caught a few, so Jaxon was able to hold one...poor fish almost didn't survive Jaxon trying to throw him back in the water!

First day of preschool and a few more

Jaxon started preschool today. He was so excited this morning. He got right up, got dressed, brushed his teeth, got his shoes and backpack on...and was ready high tail it out of here. Here is the handsome little man.

After preschool we headed over to a friends house to play. He had this little four wheeler which the boys didn't even think twice about trying. Jaxon jumped on, pressed the pedal down all the way, and went hauling down their driveway right into the street as I am running after him yelling at him to stop. Crazy boys! Crew loved it too.

Here's a scary picture..Crew driving Jaxon! What a trusting brother!
This past weekend we were able to spend some time with Nic and Steff and their three girls. We took the kids to Bear World and it was a hit! Jaxon called Camryn and Brooklyn his girlfriends. He had so much fun with them.

I think I'll start drinking

I need something to take it down a notch...doesn't this drink look pretty?! Just kidding mom-don't panic! Why you ask am I feeling like this? Maybe it was the flooded bathroom that just happened-I should have taken pictures but I guess that wasn't my first thought when Jaxon decided to flush a half a roll of toilet paper down the toilet and its overflowing. It's leaking into my basement it was that bad. Or maybe its because my 2 year old looks like he got attacked by a cat...but really, it was his older brother. I think I'll stick to the cat story. Its less embarrassing. I almost posted a picture...but just take my word. I really feel like I could write a book about the last six months of my life, because this is just the icing on the cake. And it's finally starting to get funny.
I need a vacation.
The end.

Ta Da Da Daaaaaa

A Miracle

Jaxon just finished two weeks of swimming lessons. Before he started he was comfortable in the water but did not like to go under, couldn't swim on his own and would not jump in. By the last day of swim lessons he is now swimming a little on his own, he is running and jumping into the pool and we can barely keep his head above the water! He absolutely loves it. It is the best feeling to watch him and see him be so proud of himself! Video to come.
