Easter Part 2

Later that day we went to Ama Shauna's and Papa Rex's... The Easter bunny had left some eggs there as well.....

Jax with his cousin Noah, Sharing Easter eggs..

The Easter bunny left watering cans.... The kids LOVED them...Ama's bushes got watered really well :)

We also did a little art project. We used Coffee filters, painted them and then put a little Pipe cleaner for the body and the antenna. It turned out really cute...I did notice a huge difference between boys and girls.... The boys loaded as many colors on to them (turning them black, or just painted them black) and the little girl had a pretty blue and green with a little purple ....

Thanks everyone for the fun day!

Easter Part 1

We had a great Easter, we started off by trying to go to an Easter Egg hunt in Murray Park....We were one minute late, luckily cousin Mia was sooo nice to get Jax a couple of eggs...Which was pretty impressive considering the "hunt" ended not 20 seconds after it started. Maybe next year.

We then went to Ama Shauna and Papa Rex's house and colored Easter eggs.

Jax and Mia...

We then headed to Chik-fil-A where we had a fabulous lunch, we had planned on letting the kids play at the play land, but it was WAY to crazy...


So we headed to the park... Jax and Mia had a lot of fun racing each other down the slides. Jax is getting to be quite the little dare devil! He liked going down the BIG slide, climbing up the rock wall, and the zip line (we had to help him with all but the slide)

It was a fun day...
Even the adults had fun!

Thanks Heidi, Dave and Mia for the fun day!

Super Saturday..

Jax had an extremely crazy Saturday...We woke up and got all dressed up. His Ama and Papa took him and some of his other cousins to the Symphony. They have a children's series that are really fun! After that they took them to a REAL Salt Lake game. It was a free game so Cory and I met up with them there. We had a fun time,but all I can say is I don't think I can talk Cory into going back until they have fixed the parking situation there....CRAZY!! Jax loved waving the flag that Ama and Papa had brought. Thanks Ama and Papa for the FUN day!!

All dressed up for the Symphony! I can't believe how big he is getting!

at Rio Tinto Stadium

Jax, Ama and Papa

Jaxon did a funny thing the other day and I wanted to share. We were watching a show and the word I D I O T was said. We have tried to teach Jaxon this is not a nice word. So Jaxon pipes up and says "that is not a nice word daddy" and I proceed to tell him you are right that is not a nice word. So I go back to watching the show and after a second I realize Jaxon is still talking he rambling for the next 3 to 5 minutes about how we don't say that word, and we should be nice, and say nice words like I like you, and ......we should be friends with people.......and give them hugs.....and kisses........then after his monolog went on for a while he stops and give me hug and says "just like this daddy". I swear that kid astounds me every day and he is so funny.

Spiderman....

Jax got this Spiderman for Christmas last year from his great aunt and uncle. Spiderman is pretty cool, you can change settings so that for naptime he will only talk for a few more minutes, and encourages Jax to go to sleep, then there is a day mode where if you push his hand it makes the web sound. Jax has had sooo much fun with him...

He sleeps with it...(unfortunatly I couldn't find a picture..)

Puts him over his shoulders....

Wraps him in blankets, and then unwraps him...(one day this went on for an hour)

Does mommy's hair with Spiderman's hands....

And LOVE him!

Valentine's Day

Cory and I celebrated Valentine's Day a day early. Cory took me to Madelines for ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!!! YUMMY!!!

My parents watched Jax for us. Saturday we made heart shaped french toast, and ordered to go from Applebee's. Jax got some very cute Valentine's from his friends.

Our yummy French toast

Ama and Papa brought Jax a fun little "love bug (that Jax has added to the rotation of things he sleeps with) and lots of FUN stickers...

Who needs paper when you have moms arm to put stickers on. The next couple of days I ended up with stickers all over me...

In Memory of....

In memory of Ewwww. Today our sweet little fishy returned to his heavenly father. He was Jax's first pet. Ewwww lived to be one year old. He enoyed dirty water, eating a couple of times a week, and the occasional shake of the bowl from Jax.

When we bought our fish Jax had gotten into "Finding Nemo" so when we bought our fish I asked him what he wanted to name him.... I asked him all sorts of different names, saying No to all of them. He then said he wanted to name him Ewwww. I thought for sure he would forget the name of the fish, or name it differnet names as time went on. Ohhh no, he will always be Ewww.

Where do they come up with this stuff ??

Cory and I had a date night last night, and Jax had a sleep over at Grandma's and Grandpa's (LOVE IT) We went to pick him up this morning, and Jax was playing with the Little People, He picked up two of them, said "Oh hi I am your girlfriend, I Love You, and made them Kiss...... Where in the world did he come up with it??? I guess a little more Sesame Street is needed!!!

What is a Mac Truck good for ??...

To haul Baby Jesus's Family (oh yeah and Lightening McQueen)

New Years Eve

Joe and Kim were in town, so we decided to get together and have an adult night....Cory and I couldn't think of a year where one of us hasn't been sick. One year Cory had Shingles, another year I was sick, Next year Jax had RSV, the next one Jax had Crupe. This year we were alll healthy for a change!!! Our good friends Joe and Kim were in town so we got together and went out... My parents took Jax and had a sleep over... We were able to go to dinner at Red Robin, we went to a movie ..Yes Man, and then came back here and snacked watched the countdown and played games..... My eyes saw 2 am... It has been a VERY long time since these eyes have seen that time voluntarily. We had a great time! Happy New Years everyone!
