Christmas

We had a really good Christmas this year, as I hope everybody else did as well! This year we stayed at my in-laws (Deron and Penny) on Christmas Eve, along with Brynn, Leaf, Carson and Jilyn. We thought it would be a fun little tradition to begin and we would do it every other year. We had a yummy dinner and stayed up till 1 am playing the Wii. Loren and Jaxon got spoiled between Santa, mom & dad and grandparents. After we were done opening presents we were going to head to Tooele so we could spend Christmas night with my family, but a HUGE storm rolled in and we decided to wait till the next day unless it passed and we felt like we could make it. Well about 2 pm we decided to go for it. Well we made it, it only took us an extra hour, so not to bad. We only seen plows till we got just outside of Wells and we never seen another. While we were over in Utah Logans cousin got married in the Manti temple and had a reception in Spanish Fork. We weren't able to make it to the temple but the reception was very nice and Drew has married a very cute girl named Becky, I wish them so much happiness in their marriage! Here are a few pictures of Christmas

SOOOO... Tired!

At the Barrick Christmas Party this year, Logans dad Deron won a XBOX 360. Well that was great and all but we talked him into exchanging it in for a Wii. So Wednesday night Logan and I went over with the kids and played Wii for awhile. Loren hadn't had a nap all day so we headed home around 9:30. She fell asleep in the car and usually she will wake up as soon as you try to get her out. She was like a rag doll last night, she was sooo... tired! I had to get a picture of Logan trying to get her into her PJs.

Bath Time!

I'm a little behind on my posts, sorry! I'm still trying to adjust to having 2 kids. Jaxon finally lost his umbilical cord on Tuesday so he finally got a GOOD bath! I was so excited. We pulled a chair up so Loren could watch and be a part of it. He didn't scream as bad as I thought he might and Loren would not take her eyes off of him. Here are a few pictures of his first bath.

Christmas Time!!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here and that Jaxon is almost 2 weeks old already. We just went today and got family pictures taken. There are some very precious ones of Loren and Jaxon. Loren really does love her baby brother. She is constantly trying to give him kisses, hugs and any time he cries she lays her head next to his and rubs it. She hasn't shown to much jealousy but there has been a little coming out. Matter of fact, the other day, Jaxon started crying so I picked him up and told him it was okay and started patting his back, well Loren looked at him and than me and she started to pretend cry and laid her head on my shoulder. I told her it was okay and she reached around and started patting her own back. It was very cute!!! Here are some of the pictures taken today, I hope you all enjoy!

How Fast They Change...

Jaxon is 1 week old as of today and I can't believe how he has changed in just this week. I like to call him "little squirt" because he is very good at squirting as all you moms with little boys know what I mean. He sleeps well during the day on his own but at night he thinks he needs to be in moms arms. We are working on getting that changed. He is a very good eater and seems to be doing well with his weight. The poor little guy has the cold that we all have had and I feel bad because there isn't much we can do cause he is sooo tiny.

Loren is coming home today and I can't wait! I miss that little stink so much. Our house just hasn't felt quite the same without her here. I am curious on how she is going to do or act with her little brother here. I'm glad Logan is on his 7 days off so that he can help between the two of them. I want to do all I can to show her I still love her just as much as I did before Jaxon and she is not going to be left out.

Well here are a few pictures of Jaxon since we have been home, and many more to come!!!
