Well Check-up

Today we took Jaxon in for his well check-up and shots! He is getting so big, I can't believe it. I have to laugh cause he is 4 months and weighs 13 lbs and Loren is 23 months and weighs 18.3 lbs. He is going to catch up to her in no time!! He did very well with his shots, I wish I could be tough like him, LOL! He is eating cereal and baby food and is a little pickier than his sister ever was.

Picture Time

I just went and got the kids pictures taken and I can't believe how much they have grown!!! I wanted to get Jaxon done for his 3 months (I was a couple weeks late) and than get some taken in their Broncos outfits so I can do something special for Logan for Fathers Day. We came up with the idea to also take some pictures in the bathtub of the kids together and than seperate. I am doing their bathroom in rubber duckies, so the pictures of them in the tub will be hung up in their bathroom. We got some very cute pictures that I just had to share with everybody. Lorens hair looked so stinking cute when I left the house, the little pony tails were all curled. By the time we had reached the studio they were coming un-curled. I look at the pictures and her hair actually looks pretty funny, but all well its her and that cute little smile and attitude that makes the picture, not her hair!

Rolling Over

I can't believe it, Jaxon has rolled over!!!! My little guy is growing so fast. I do think he is going to be doing things quick. If you put him on his belly his little legs and arms try so hard to go. He has this determined look on his face. I think he wants to go and play with his sister very bad!!! When he sees her, his little chubby face just lights right up and he watches her every move. Before I know it, he will be crawling and sitting and than WALKING!!!!! They grow just way too fast!

Jaxons Blessing

WOW! What a day or actually weekend. We had so many friends and family attend the blessing and it was such a special day. My parents and little brother Nate and also our really good friends Hope and Tom came from Tooele and stayed the weekend. Friday night Logan and I met Hope and Tom in town and went to Pizza Hut with Ben & Lisa that was just really fun and relaxing. Saturday we stayed home all day and got all the food and dessert ready for Sunday. Everybody hung out here and just had fun and played the wii. I always get really stressed out when I do these type of things but like always everything went pretty smooth. I was going to stand up and share my testimony on such a special day, but I guess it wasn't meant to be cause Jaxon got hungry and I had to go feed him. Over the last year my testimony had grown more than I could have ever imagined. I and my family have had experiences in our lives that will forever change the way we live our daily lives. As you have read in earlier blogs my Aunt Joann passed away from cancer. For me personally I have had a hard time dealing with that because I was soooo... close to her. She wasn't just an aunt she was like a mom. She would do anything for me and my family. When she finished her last round of chemo she asked me if I thought she should go for more chemo. Out of nowhere I told her "What ever happens now is in the lords hands and we need to see what he has planned for you". When I said that I had an absolutely amazing feeling inside of me. But it is true, we come here to the gorgeous earth with our lives already planned out. I personally believe she went through so much cancer and pain because our heavenly father knew that she was a strong person and would fight with all she had, but he also knew that we would learn and grow from it. I learned to try your very best to treat each family member and friends like it would be their last day. Enjoy every day that you have with the ones you love. I wish so badly I could call her and tell her what Loren or Jaxon are now doing and to just ask "How are you?" But I know she is in a beautiful place and enjoying being with her husband, mother and father. I also knows she sees everything that is going on down here. I had a dream of her the other day and I know she was doing it to let me know she was okay. She looked more amazingly beautiful than I could ever explain. She was in her temple dress and had this amazing glow around her, I hold that memory in my heart every day! But when I told her that God has a plan for us, its made me think about a lot of other things. Some people that read this might get mad at me and thats just fine, cause we all have our own oppinions. I truely think that the whole shots causing autism isn't really true. I think something might set it off but it is already genetically in them. I think it is so that we can learn and grow from that as well. I have a cousin that is deaf. She had got sick as a child and became deaf and from what I believe that was in her life plan. She is an amazing person, mother, wife, sister, daughter, etc. and is a very strong person and its cause god as gave her that will and faith to keep going. I just want to let ALL my family and friends know, how much I love them and appreciate all they do. Here is a few pictures of Jaxon, there is more to come

They grow so fast!

The other day I had Jaxon on my lap and I was drinking a pepsi, well of course he was liking the colors of the can so he was trying to get it. I can't believe all in the last few weeks he is really watching my every move, grabbing at so many different things and I even have him laughing now! The other day he almost rolled over, he just couldn't get his fat legs kicked over. They grow so fast, and though you enjoy watching them do all these new things, it is so sad. Loren is starting to put words together and picking up new words everyday! She tries to copy everything anybody is saying, I got a few pictures of Jaxon and the pepsi can, so enjoy!

First Haircut

Last weekend we went to Utah to pick up a truck that my cousin Troy sold us. It was his moms (my Aunt Joanns) so we were way excited. While we were in Utah I decided to get Lorens haircut for the first time EVER! With that baby fine hair, it keeps getting really ratty in the back and it is a pain in the butt. We decided we would just do a little bob cut on her and it turned out so cute. My mom decided to keep her for the week since they are coming out for Jaxons blessing this coming weekend. So when she gets home I will get some more pictures and post them but this is what I got for now.

What a BIG boy!

The State of Nevada will pay for this blood test done on new borns called the PKU. Well its done when they are in the hospital and than when they are 2 weeks. I was a bad mom and just barely got Jaxons done and he is 2 1/2 months. Anyways they have to have the current weight on the sheet they send off, so I had to go to the OB and have him weighed. He was 7 lbs 1 oz when he was born so I was guessing he might be about 10 lbs now. I was WRONG!!!! He weighs 11 lbs 4oz! I couldn't believe it, he is growing so fast, its crazy.

He has the chunkiest thighs and chubby cheeks. His Grandma Penny calls him Pillsbury Dough Boy and I call him my Chunky Dunk.

My little Old MAN!

We are always teasing and saying that Jaxon looks like a little old man. Well tonight I was taking his clothes off and as I took his jacket off all he had on was his pants and a white onesie on. I stood him up and his pants were pulled up to his chest and he was drooling, it was funny cause he really did look like a bald headed old man, but a cute one at that!

Not just 1 but 2 CRY BABIES!

The other night I was trying to make dinner so Logan was taking care of the kids. Well Jaxon is a big momma's boy and Loren is in this major whinney stage, she just needs some extra attention from mom. Anyways, Jaxon cried and cried and Logan was trying everything to calm him down and nothing was working and than Loren got in trouble for trying to climb up on the stove while I was cooking so she started crying and wouldn't stop. So Logan put them both on the couch, side by side and just let them cry. It was so funny cause Loren would look over at Jaxon and than just try to cry harder than he was. I had to get some pictures cause it was too funny. I love my children more than anything but this specific day I could NOT wait till it was bedtime.

Just having FUN!

I took a friend of mine, Chelsea, pregnancy photos (you can hit the link to our business website to view them if you would like, it just is under our friends listed as Our Business). Anyways when we were done we decided to mess around mainly with Loren but we threw Jaxon in for a couple and this is what we came out with, they turned out pretty cute for just goofing off.
