Jaxon's New Love

Jaxon has discovered the sprinkler and he absolutely loves it. Well first he discovered the hose and loved to play with that but once he started putting it in his mouth repeatedly I decided that the sprinkler was a better option. With all of the nice warm days that we have been having it has been a lot of fun for Jax and me to spend sometime outside in the water to cool off a bit. All I have to do is ask him if he wants to go play in the water and he runs to the patio door.

The other day Jax really wanted to go outside and play, so Brent opened the door and let him out. Jax was not very happy when he realized that Brent hadn't followed him out. He kept pressing his face up against the door and yelling for his dad.

It's A Boy!!!!

I have to admit I was secretly hoping for a girl this time around, but we are very excited for another little boy. He was a little stubborn; he kept his legs crossed for the majority of the ultrasound so it took a while. Luckily I have a great doctor that was very willing to keep trying until we finally saw that he was in fact a boy. I had to take Jaxon by myself, Brent had to work, and he did great he was a little worried when the ultrasound got started but once I showed him the screen with the baby on it he was ok. He loved watching the baby move and listening to the heartbeat. Before we could get a good look at this little guy my doctor and I were getting a little frustrated, he kept telling the baby to uncross it's legs and I kept asking if he saw anything that would even help him to guess, then there was Jaxon sitting there just laughing. Luck for us baby finally moved and we got what we needed, he is a healthy looking boy. We are so excited for Jax to have a little brother to play with. Maybe someday I'll get a little girl, but for now I will continue to be outnumbered.

So we have a few names that we like, one that we are leaning towards, but we thought we would see what other people think. So if you want, there is a poll where you can vote on the upper right hand side of our blog.

We love food!!! and 26 Weeks!!!

Jaxon is becoming more and more independent and continues to be very stubborn. He loves food and lately he pretty much demands that he feeds himself or he will have a melt down. He has discovered a new favorite food, corn on the cob. He loves it so much that even when he has eaten all the corn off the cob he keeps gnawing on the cob and cries when we take it away.

Here I am at 26 weeks. We go back to the doctor this week and hopefully baby will cooperate with us this time so we will know if Jax is going to have a baby brother or a baby sister and mom can start planning and getting ready for this new little one.

Family Pictures

While everyone was visiting we had family pictures taken. You can imagine how hard it might be to get everyone looking and get a good picture but I think they turned out great. This is the entire family minus one brother-in-law(who had to work) and the oldest grandson (who is on his mission).

Here are Grandma and Grandpa with all the grand kids.

Then we went ahead and had some taken of just our family.

Vacation!!!

We just got back from our vacation a couple days ago, we had such a great time visiting all our family. It was especially nice to have Brent not working or worrying about school for almost 2 whole weeks. While we were there Brent's Dad celebrated his 70th birthday, so all of Brent's brothers and sisters were also able to be there. It was so fun to get to spend time with everyone.

One of the days we were there we went for a hike, Jaxon loved it.

All of us at the top. It was nice to get outside and the weather was perfect.


Jaxon discovered a new love, the four wheelers. Brent took him for a ride and he was hooked.

Jaxon was a little shy and unsure of everyone when we first got there, but by the end of our trip he had really started to warm up to everyone and was having fun playing with his cousins.

He loved giving Aunt Holly kisses.

He also discovered that everyone was more than happy to share all kinds of snacks with him. Jaxon loves food so if you share any with him you are pretty much guaranteed to have him as a new friend.
