Five for Friday

Nothing overly exciting is going on at our house right now, we are getting back into our routine of Dad going to work and the boys and I hanging out together.  So here are five random things.

1. The other night Jaxon emptied Jagger laundry basket and hopped on in, he then informed me that, that was where he was going to sleep for the night. Looks compfy huh?

2. Right about the time we moved to our new house, just about a month ago, Jaxon was on the yogurt only diet.  He has never been what I would consider a picky eater but he was pretty much only eating yogurt.  He was insistant that he have at least one at every meal and a lot of times other than a bowl of cereal or a string cheese that was the only thing that he would actually eat.  So everyday he was eating 3+ yogurts.  Well I'm happy to say that it looks like that phase has passed.  He is back to eating more normally and a lot less picky. In the picture he was helping feed Jagger and of course making him laugh.

3. This is more for Brent's parents, they are the only ones that saw the front yard before and I of course forgot to take a pic.  There were one or two Mullberry bushes around each of the two pine trees in the picture and more around other pine trees not pictured that we spent hours and hours cutting and digging out, not fun! Also the area from the trees to the street about 4 feet or so was dirt, what was left of some dead grass, and a few plants that looked pretty pathetic.  Now after days of work we have sod , that I have been spending lots of time watering. It still needs some TLC but it is looking much better thatn when we first moved in.

4.These two both love to play in their kitchen and in the real one too.  I love having a playroom, it is nice to have one room for all the toys, not that it really stays that way.  The only problem is that it is downstair and Jaxon can go down there just fine by himself he just won't, so it doesn't get used near as much as it should, thus the toys not staying in the nice playroom.

I told Jaxon to smile for me so I could take his picture.

5. Jagger has a new best friend, the trash can.  Kitchen or bathroom, he isn't picky.  He has found them and now he won't leave them alone. Yesterday he pulled himself up and started pulling things out of the garbage, before I could stop him I hear, "No, No Zagger, that ucky!" Jax then went over and as nicely as he could helped Jagger down and pick up the trash.  Jaxon helps me keep an eye on Jagger.

Jag

This sweet boy just keeps getting bigger and busier.  He is teething and is super grumpy because of it. He also isn't sleeping great, I'm thinking because of his teething, so instead of a nice long nap today he decided he wanted to play. He keeps himself busy most of the time just getting into everything.  His latest trick is he discovered how to blow raspberries on mom's arm the other day and thought it was hilarious, so at least once a day he will find my arm and slobber all over it. We are still getting settled in, but Brent started working on Monday and after one day of orientation he likes it.We are still trying to get back into a regular routine at home without him.  After having here with us for the last month Jaxon wasn't excited about him going back to work.

Yard Work

Our new house has been great, we love it! We have been super busy working in the yard trying to get it looking a little better. These aren't the greatest pictures but hopefully it will give you an idea.  The flower garden areas which take up the majority of the backyard, have not been properly maintained for the last 5 years, so there is a ton of work to do!  This first picture is of the northeast corner of the backyard, it still looks this way

This picture shows where we stopped cutting out the overgrowth of flowers and grass the left side of the picture looked like the above picture before Brent went to town with the weed eater. And a big thanks to Brent's parents for all their help with moving and help in the yard!

Jaxon has been having a blast working outside with Daddy! 

 He really is a great helper.

 So as you can hopefully see we have been really busy with yard work.  We also ripped out a bunch of Mull berry bushes in our front yard and started to lay down sod.  I will hopefully post more before and after pictures of the front yard soon.  Now that we have done so much in the outside , I need to get busy and start to decorate the inside of the house, so it feels more like home. After a long day of working in the dirt Jax was worn out, Payton curled right up with him to take a nap together, this was a first so I had to get a picture!

Last Month

So last month was a busy one for us.  After Brent's graduation we were busy packing up our house ans getting already to move, but we took plenty of breaks to play. 

 Jax found Brent's helmet in the garage and decided that he needed to wear it while he rode his bike around.

 Jag and daddy having fun!

Jagger is my busy boy! This was taken over a month ago when he was 7 months.  He was just starting to pull himself up using the furniture. Now he is walking around all of the furniture.  In our new house we have lots of stairs and Jag is a natural when it comes to climbing up them we just need a lot of practice going down.
