A Great Day

I had such a good day today for many reasons.  My morning started with going to a nursery to get some dirt for my garden.  This was a huge relief as I have been wanting to get my garden started for a couple weeks now.  Then I was actually able to work out for a full 50 mins!!!  Jaxon hasn't been so good in the child watch for the past couple weeks, they would always have to get me after 20 mins.  So I was so happy to get a full work out in.  Then my sister Whitney (who is 4 days overdue) came into Spokane to watch Jaxon while I went to get my hair cut.  It always feels nice to get a little pampered, and to get a little me time.  Then after my haircut Whitney and I went to this cute little bakery downtown called Sweet Frostings, LOVED it!  Finally the girls came over tonight and we did some gardening for Family Home Evening.  I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Some cute cupcakes that I picked up for the girls.  I had a little taste of each of them and they were AMAZING!

Fun Florida Trip

A couple of weeks ago our family took a fun vacation to Orlando, Florida.  I was a little nervous about bringing Jaxon on such a long airplane ride, but he did great!  I was amazed at how well he did throughout the whole vacation!

Getting ready to take off!

                                                          All of us ready to go

           Our first two days we went to Universal Studios and Island of Adventure.  I think Island of Adventure was our favorite between the two.

 They had Seuss Land and I loved it.  I wanted to buy so many things!

Harry Potter World.  It was amazing how they set it all up.

Makenna is in love with Scooby Doo, so it was fun for her to see this.

 Our third day was at the beach.  I think this was everyone's favorite day.  However, everyone got really sunburned.

Next we spent two days at Disneyworld.  One at the Magic Kingdom and one at Animal Kingdom.  Animal Kingdom was super cool.  It was definitely my favorite.

                           We spent a lot of time looking at maps!

 Our last day their we went to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon.  It was fun because their was snorkeling, water slides, and a huge wave pool.  It was a great way to end the trip.

                                      And finallly going home.  I love these two studs!

Our Easter

We had a great Easter Sunday! My family came over to our house after church and we enjoyed lots of delicious food and good company. The boys were busy watching the Masters the whole time and the girls were outside taking lots of pictures. We were also able to skype with my sister Melanie and her girls. I just love spending time with family. But most important it was wonderful to celebrate our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for His life and everything He did for us.

Now for lots of pictures

This has become my favorite picture of Jaxon

I made the boys matching bow ties. They look so cute in them!

Jaxon at 7 Months

Here are some pictures of Jaxon starting at 2 months. Now he is 7 months and I feel like he is learning so much! He loves to stand all the time. I think he is going to walk before he crawls. He loves to babble. He says mom and dad, but we are pretty sure he doesn't actually know what he is saying when he does get it out of his mouth. He can feed himself with some foods. He has two teeth on the bottom. He is still not a good sleeper, but I've just decided it's God's way of teaching me how to have patience. I love this cute guys so much and have a ton of fun with him every day!

Playing Catch Up

I have been a horrible blogger lately. We have been doing a lot of playing with friends, going on walks, hanging out with my family, celebrating my birthday, and going to parks. Here are a couple pictures of the last couple months.

Jaxon's 6 Month Photo Shoot

I know I am a little late on this, but here is Jaxon at 6 months. My mom did a wonderful job with the photo shoot. I love all the pictures!

Four Years of Wedded Bliss

Yes, that's what it's been for me and Brett the past four years. I love him so much and constatnly find myself wondering how I got so lucky to have married such an amazing man. There are so many things I love about my wonderful husband, but I will just list a few.

• How he constantly reminds me that I am a wonderful mother and that I am doing a great job.
• How he cares so much about the people in our church and spends most of his free time doing church service. (OK sometimes I complain that he is gone too much, but I do love the quality in him that he likes to serve so much).
• He texts and calls me all through the day to let me know he's thinking about me.
• He is so thoughtful with his gifts.
• He randomly suprises me with a boquet of flowers for no reasons (my favorite).
• He is really funny.
• He works SO hard to provide for our family and is always striving to be better.
• He supports me is all of my decisions.
• His girls love him and look up to him so much.

I love you babe!

PS, I know I've been a horrible blogger lately. I will be updating soon.
