Quick Update

It has been such a busy couple weeks.

Jaxton and I have been taking swim lessons twice a week.

Girls hockey has started up again, and I get to coach this year :)

Meeka is .. well a puppy and between her and Jaxton I am always cleaning something.

Needless to say I have not been doing any projects or much baking

Hopefully this weekend I can cross a few projects off my list.

Lets see, Oh ya Jaxton is WALKING!!

My 10 month old is walking

He takes 4-5 steps before stopping and starting again

He so cute and so proud of himself

Helping Mommy in the kitchen

Meeka thinks she is a cat

Playing with Daddy

 

Someone found the TP

Fall Muffins

I can't believe it is the end of September already.

Our high temperatures are still in the 80's on a daily basis.

But everywhere I look there are pumpkins and leaves, bats and spiders.

And pumpkin recopies

Like this one from Annie's Eats

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

The were a little time consuming but very good

After pulling out the stash of sugar from the drawer I left it open

Kinda on accident kinda because it is a pain to close

Jaxton was happy I left it open

He found new toys to make noise with :)

Swingin

Robie, Jaxton, Meeka and I walked down to a neighborhood park I chanced upon last night. It was nice and quiet, we were the only ones there.

I put Jaxton in the big boy swing and he loved it!! He giggled and giggled.

Beads and Time

Ah Pintrest, my latest online distraction.

Yep I am!

I found this on Pinterest and fell in love

with the color, NOT the price

I think it was listed at $82

So I made a trip to Micheal's

and for $20 I got everything I needed

It took me a couple times, but I figured it out

and lots of time. 3 hours to be exact
Dishes did not get done, we did not go for a walk

I sat down with a chick flick and my quiet time went way to fast

This is what I came up with

I love it, now I need a black and red one.

Oh and a cute pic of Jaxton
He is 9 months old, where did time go?

It's Beginning to Look Like a Zoo In Here!

I'm sure if you have not seen my house you have seen pictures of it, and you agree it is small. Don't get me wrong, I love my house, but it is a little over 700sqft, two bedrooms, one bathroom. It is home to two adults, one very active baby, three cats, three fish and now.... A PUPPY!!

Meet Meeka. She is half Malamute half shepard mutt-mix. She is 6 1/2 weeks old and the runt of the litter. We have had her for three days and she is already part of the family.

Jaxton's First Camping Trip

There is so much that has happened since my last post but Little Manman has kept me running in circles so they have not gotten posted. But this I had to get up.

Jaxton and I met my parents and grandparents on the North Fork of the Clearwater for a weekend of fresh air, clear water and campfire cooking. Jaxton had a blast and actually screamed all the way home. He slept so well in the tent on the ground and gave everyone attention.

Lots of pictures so here goes...

Jaxton decided he did not want to use a spoon to eat his carrots tonight.
I think he had more on him than in him :)
