Braden's Baptism

So my youngest brother Braden got Baptized last weekend and Deven was able to baptize him. He is such a sweet boy and has such a kind heart! The baptism was really nice except Jaxson kept wanting to go up front by the "bathtub" even while I was giving the baptism talk, very distracting! After the musical number he walked up there and said "time to take a bath everybody!" Yes, that would be my little man, why else would there be a bathtub in the middle of the room?

Jaxson looks up to Braden so much, he loves his uncle Brady, this picture says it all!

My mom, sister's, Avery, and Braden.

The boys!

Letter to Santa

So I can tell this Christmas is going to be fun because Jaxson kinda gets the whole Santa Clause thing. It is also very good for bribery (using the "you better be good, Santa is watching" phrase)! He loves to look through the toy magazines we get in the mail and so we decided to do a project and cut and glue them for his Santa list. One of my funnest memories as a kid was looking through the toy catologues at Christmas time and circling just about EVERYTHING in them, it's fun to see your kids doing the same. So it's a week before Thanksgiving and he already has his Christmas list done, but i'm sure it will be the first of many!

Halloween

My sexy Woody and little Buzz Lightyear. When Jax told us he wanted to be Buzz for Halloween he insisted that dad be Woody, so with the help of the DI and the craft store there he is!

Me and my little munchkins. Since dad matched Jax I thought I would be a ladybug like Avery.

Jaxson our little 16 year old

Okay so we went to Chili's after the Pumpkin Walk to eat, it was already 8 o'clock, which is Jaxson's bedtime. We were already worried about him staying up to late and then this happens. The waitress was asking what everyone wanted to drink and he says to her "You have milk here?" Well normally he is fine with plain milk but she asks, chocolate or regular? Are you kidding me! Of course they're going to choose chocolate if they're given a choice! So then my little brother asks for lemonade and Jax says, "I'll have lemonade too, and a water." She comes out and brings him ALL THREE!!! What!!! Meanwhile she is talking about her kids, you think she would know better!

Once he got his drinks he was chugging them so fast in fear that any second mom was going to take them away! We each drank about half from each one and when he finished the rest she came to take them away, only to bring back REFILLS! We finally had to tell her no more!

Jaxson's crash after his sugar high.

The Pumpkin Walk

Every year one of the parks in Logan has different scenes made out of pumpkins, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of that! Whoops.

Here's us, Avery is in her carseat, too cold for her!

Doesn't Jax make a cute Ariel?

Thanksgiving Point

While we were in Provo we went to this place called Thanksgiving Point because they had a little Halloween carnival. It was really fun and cute but REALLY cold and windy so we didn't stay long.

There was this big blow up monster thing that you could walk through and it was pitch black through the whole thing. Well I guess Jax isn't afraid of the dark because he loved it! This picture was taken with a flash while we were inside, good aiming mom!

Giant pillow trampoline.

They had this little train of cow cars that was pulled by a tractor, it was so cute. They took them on a ride through the little corn maze.

Provo

Jax loved to play the piano while we were there, he would line his toys up so they could watch and listen to him play.

The kids and I got to go visit my cuz Elise and her little boy Carter at her parents house in Provo a few weeks ago. My sister Brandi lives in Salt Lake now and she came for a few days too. It was so much fun as usual! We need to live closer!

Elise found these glasses for $1, good laughs!

Jaxson and Avery chillin on the couch. I went the whole trip and got NO pictures of Jax and Carter together! Figures!

Corn and Hay Maze

Jax with daddy and uncle Brady.

There is a big pile of loose hay that you jump into and Jax loved it! He wouldn't quite run and jump off like the other kids he just kinda skid down on his bum. Imagine the hay in his crack when we got home!

Even though you can't see her Avery is in her sling, she loves that thing! I love it too cause it keeps us both warm!

Avery's Blessing Day

We blessed our little Avery today. We had quite the morning though! First Avery was NOT happy before church (which was at 9 o'clock) she fussed all morning before we left and I finally got her to go to sleep when we got there. AND THEN, Jaxson decided he wanted to go up and bless Avery with his dad and when I told him he needed to wait until he was done he started screaming! Little turd! I had to take him out and calm him down so I missed most of her blessing. I was so upset but when Dev came back he wrote it down while he still remembered so I could know what he had said. He did such a great job, especially with Jaxson screaming "daddy, daddy, I want my daddy!" And to top it all off she pooped THREE times in the few hours she was in her pretty dress! Luckily none of them shot out like in the picture below. Despite all of the crazyness it was a great blessing day.

Doesn't she look adorable!!!

Poop Everywhere

So here is Avery's first major blowout! Some of you probably didn't really want to see this so I apologize but the look on her face is classic! "What's wrong mom?" It's the first of many i'm sure, she's pretty powerful!

Jaxson Pics

So Jax was playing in the backyard and he and Dev found a leaf bug. They finally got it to climb onto Jax's arm and next thing you know it jumped onto his head. It was so cute, he called it his "little honey" where he got that name I don't know! They let it go and the rest of the night he kept asking about what his little honey was doing and where he had gone.

Our little artist!
