Stuff...

So, I think I know I am really bad at updating my blog regularly, but when I finally do update it, at least there's a lot of fun pictures, right? Here are some pictures from the past month...I think they are pretty fun...hope you do too!


Jaxon stopped taking naps about two months ago (well, he would still take naps if I let him, but he was a big booger at bed time, so we figured it was better to have him not take naps than to have him awake for hours after we put him to bed!) Anyway...on this particular day, I was sitting next to him feeding Jordan, and I hear him breathing heavy and I look over and sure enough he is out...well, as time went on, he kept slipping farther and farther off the couch...he neer did fall all the way off, but I thought it was pretty funny that he could sleep like this. He also slept through Brynn trying to wake him up...pulling hair, giving kisses, tickling, you name it, she tried it!
One morning, I thought it was uncommonly quite and I started looking for my little angels and I found them sitting in boxes sharing stickers with each other and don't worry...Jordan even got a sticker when they saw he didn't have one yet! What good sibilings!
There is an awesome new park in Daybreak...we call it the lake park or the climbing park. They have these awesome rope things to climb on, a fun slide and SWINGS (pretty sure they are the only swings in Daybreak). We went for the first time on a playdate and I had to drag my kids away...they loved it! If you ever want to go, give me a call, we would be happy to go! Or if you want to come visit me...we could come to this awesome park...guaranteed to be a hit!
We went to the cabin in Bear Lake about two weeks ago, just our little family...and we realized this is the first time since it was built like five or six years ago that we have ever been up there just us, we are always with family or friends! I was a lot of fun, we were able to relax and the kids had a great time playing. This picture is of Brynn on the way home. All the kids fell asleep on the way home, but I just loved the way her arm is in this picture, she looks so angelic...then she woke up!

We have been spending a lot of time outside...the weather is perfect, not too hot, not too cold. My kids love to be outside! It is nice to have a backyard to send the kids to play in, but I miss our green court too! I wish the weather would stay like this forever! By the way...Jaxon is "kissing" Jordan, not biting him!
Brynn is obbssesed with shoes lately...this night, she decided to put on Jason's shoes. Don't mind the hair, it was right before bedtime...who am I kidding, her hair generally looks like this after nap time if we aren't going anywhere! Do you love her pose for the camera?
I love this little man! He had his 6 month appointment on the 18th (can you believe he is 6 months? I can't!) I can't remember the exact numbers, but he is in the 25 percentile for weight, 75% for height and 25% for head...he's growing!
A couple of Fridays ago, we went to the awesome park by the lake (mentioned above). We were there for about an hour and Brynn spend almost every minute of that hour in the swing...she loved it! Jordan loved the swings also...Jaxon chose to climb...little monkey!
Jaxon always wants to feed Jordan, so on this Saturday morning, Jason got up with the kids and while he was making pancakes, he let Jaxon feed Jordan...he actually did quite well! He is such a good little helper...I love my kids! How lucky am I to have such an awesome family?!

Jordan's 5 Month Pictures

My friend took more pictures of Jordan and I think they turned out great! Luckily he was in a pretty good mood, that always helps! I think he's pretty darn cute, but I might be a little biased!

Happy Birthday Brynners!

Brynn turned two on the 24th (I know I'm a little slow posting this, but things have been crazy!) We didn't do too much on her real birthday because we were having a joint party with her cousin Madison the next day. Grandma came up from St. George to celebrate with us and that was lots of fun!

Brynn is such a sweet little girl...at least that's what everyone thinks, but in reality, she is a little stinker. She loves to torment her older brother and does it whenever she gets the chance! She loves to read, play with kids at the gym and in nursery, torment her brothers, color, play with playdough, take her shoes off whenever we are in the car (very annoying!)...plus lots of other things I can't think of right now. She weighs all of 23 lbs, which is the 5%, but she is in the 70% for height, but she eats like a horse, most of the time! She's starting to talk more and more...it took her a while to get started, but she's getting the hang of it.

We love our Brynners and don't know what we would do without her! Hope you had a great day!


These pictures got posted in the wrong order, so start at the bottom and they will make a little more sense!





Brynn likes to ride on the back of the wiggle bike with Jaxon...he has figured this thing out, it's quite fun to watch. I told Jason we have the perfect house for them to be able to ride it inside and he asked if that was a good thing or a bad thing and I told him I hadn't figured that part out yet...it keeps them entertained, so I guess it's a good thing!



Jaxon's ball took a while to get to the pins, so he decided to lay down to see how many pins he knocked over!



Jordan hanging out with Dad at the bowling ally.



We decided to go bowling for Brynn and her cousin Madison's birthday. It was the first time my kids had ever gone bowling. Jaxon liked it well enough, but Brynn didn't really care for it...she did it about four times then was done with it...she just wanted to hang out with grandma the whole time!



Brynn on her wiggle bike, it's actually called a plasma car and it is a lot of fun...the kids love it!




Brynn and Madison's cake...I made the cake and I must confess, I am not that good of a cake maker, so it doesn't look fantastic, but I thought it turned out ok...it didn't help that the cake fell in the middle because I had to use a crappy pan...let me tell you, that cake had plenty of frosting in the middle of it...yuck!





Present time! I'm pretty sure Jaxon was more excited than Brynn was, he just knew he got to play with whatever toys she got!



Pizza time! We had pizza for lunch and Brynn was sitting by her cousin Madison and Madison was putting her plate in her mouth and swinging it back and forth and Brynn thought it was hilarious and then decided to do it for herself...it was pretty cute!



The tradition in our house is that we decorate each person's door for their birthday and in the morning they see their fun decorated door, so this is Brynn's door. Jason got her up Saturday morning and said she was very excited to see her door decorated...what a fun surprise!

Soccer!

Jaxon had his first soccer game on Saturday, which was a miserably cold day! He was excited for his first game, then he got there! Just kidding, he actually had a lot of fun, but it was so cold! All the kids were crying, shivering, and just wanted to go home! Jaxon really did have a great time, but he thought the object of the game was to run with the kids and push them over...I guess if you can't win, cheat! We were playing against a team that was quite a bit older and bigger than our team. Add the fact that our kids didn't really know what they were doing, and we lost pretty badly, but the kids had fun, well most of them! I think Jaxon's favorite part was the oranges and juice! We look forward to this Saturday's game in the rain...is it ever going to get warm?!

Easter Outfits

So, this is the best picture I could get of my kids in their Easter outfits, we were on our way to church and I wanted to take a picture really fast, but we were running late, so this is what I got...not great, but don't they look so cute?

The Basement is Finished!

The basement is finally finished! This picture is from the first night Jason pained down there...he was spraying the primer, and he had a great time doing it...not really! We are so happy to have it finished, well it's not totally finished, the bathroom isn't done yet, but we are happy to have it most of the way finished. I wish I had more pictures, but I don't right now, hopefully I will post more later, if I remember! Jaxon got moved down last night and he loves it...his room is so much bigger than is old one, he has more room to make bigger messes!

Thanks Jason for all the hard work you did to make our basement so beautiful!

Easter Fun!

Easter this year was kind of a bummer! Jason came home sick from work (which he never does he has to be REALLY sick) on Friday and that started our fun weekend. He felt better enough on Saturday to work on the basement and was feeling better by Saturday night. Well, Sunday morning at around 5:45 Jaxon comes in our room crying because he threw up in his bed. He threw up one more time about 15 minutes later. Then, I was getting Brynn's breakfast and she threw up, just a little bit (Do you think it could have been the fact that she was eating a sucker at 7:00 in the morning?!).

So there went all our fun Easter plans, like going to Church, and going to Jason's parents' house for an egg hunt, instead we stayed home and watched like 5 movies, pretty boring if you ask me. Don't worry though because by the end of the night, I had the same crap the other had...fun stuff! Luckily I didn't throw up and everyone is healthy now! Needless to say, I didn't get pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits (I tend to not like throw up on their nice clothes!) so I will have to do that next week!

The kids did have fun though having a little egg hunt in the house and going outside later to blow the bubbles the Easter Bunny brought them...oh the simple joys!













On the 11th, we colored Easter Eggs. The whole process was over in about 10 minutes because I couldn't handle it anymore! They kids had a fun time though and thought it was very interesting...well Brynn really wanted to drink the coloring, they stuff with vinegar in it...yum! FYI...Brynn is a total cheeser for the camera if you couldn't already tell!










On the 10th, I took Jaxon & Brynn to a flashlight egg hunt in our neighborhood. Jason was sick so he stayed home with Jordan. It was a lot of fun. The kids got impatient waiting for it to start, but once it did, they had a great time. Jaxon was a little bugged that he could only take 10 eggs, like that wasn't enough!?
