Christmas 2012

Merry (late) Christmas!

Ours was once again filled with good food and great family.

We spend Christmas Eve with Robie's mom and step-dad.

They spoild him with his first car :) 

a hot wheels jeep that Jax drives around our living room, 

I cannot wait for summer and he can drive it outside.

Christams Day was spent at my parents house where he was once again spoiled.

Jax was a great helper, he helped everyone rip open their presents.

Our tree all decorated

Jaxton was sick most of the holidays with a fever and runny nose.

Jax helping his dad put together his Jeep, and watching Scooby the next morning before heading to my parents.

This is what Jax looked like most of the week, luckily Robie had the week off and was able to lay around on the couch with him.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Cookies

On a lazy evening (last year :) Auntie Sid came over and "helped" us make sugar cookies.

I say helped but mostly she fed my kid sugar, took pictures and then wrestled all the sugar out of him.

Telling Momma what to do

Too big of a bite :P

 

 I think it took me another 2 days before I frosted them,

after Jax went to bed

My Mini Hockey Player

LOOK at this kid!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

Happy Birthday Jaxton!

So I kinda got a birthday theme in my head and went with it, maybe a little too much?
Anyhoo,  Jaxton's 2nd birthday was all about digging and construction.
I first found this cake here and things got crazy!

And I made a shirt..

And we had black, orange and yellow EVERYTHING

including yellow caution tape

Showing off his boots

Jaxton's face after the lights were turned on

I love the stare down going on in this picture

 Blowing out his candles

 ...and relighting them because he wanted to do it again

Playing in the cake....

 His piece was apparently not big enough,

he joined me and was eating off of one side

while I cut the other

Halloween 2012

Oh goodness it is almost Thanksgiving.. where did the year go?

I just realized I need to start planing Jaxton's SECOND(!!) birthday.

Oh, and post all of the Halloween pictures that I did not take

Oops

I was planing on having him hand out candy in his bat pj's

but then we went over to the neighbor's to say 'hi'

Well, Jax had it all figured out and we hit up two more houses,

and returned home with 10! pieces of candy.

Here I was afraid he would not 'get it'

but he held my hand all the way to the door, knocked

and reached out his bucket.
