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.

In Memory & The Cowboy Poetry

Every year in Elko they hold the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Joann was very involved in it and enjoyed everything about it! She met so many wonderful friends and artist while being a volunteer. She did get me and Logan into it a little,though we are not helping this year do to the arrival of our son. Anyways the other day I was in town and went to pick up a packet for my mother n law and this lady Cleo stopped me and said how much she missed seeing Joann and this year just isn't the same with out her. She asked me if I had seen Joanns picture in the program book and I said no cause I'm not volunteering. Cleo told me to go see Vicki up in her office, so when I did Vicki handed me a book and said this is for you. When I got in my car, I read it and I started to bawl!!!!!!!!!! It is so neat that such a big organization recognized such a wonderful woman like this. A few months before Joann passed away I went and spent some time with her and she started crying, saying this is the biggest year of the Cowboy Poetry and she was going to miss it. I said no your not cause I know you will be there in spirit! By the way it is the 25th Anniversary of the Cowboy Poetry. So I wanted to share this with you all along with some pictures we have of her at the gathering.

Kids!

I absolutely love my life as a mother and wife! I couldn't imagine my life any other way. I am so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom and raise my children and watch them grow and change in every way possible. As I have said in previous blogs, I was nervous on how Loren would act and treat her little brother. I have not had to worry about her one bit! She is such a wonderful big sister. If or when Jaxon is crying she goes and tries to give him his pacifier if I don't get to him quick enough. She is always trying to kiss him and she will touch him and say "soft". Of course the other day she did sit on him and than accidentally dropped the monitor on his head, but she did say "sorry" and gave him a kiss. Anyways I took some pictures to show how much she loves her brother and also to show how much are little guy is growing. I can't believe he is 2 months old!!

Best Friends are the BEST!!!

A couple of months ago we got the chance to go to the Salt Lake Temple and be apart of our best friends becoming eternal companions. It was amazing!!!! They were married a year before and to witness that ceremony and than the sealing in the temple was such a cool feeling! When we go to Utah and get together with Hope and Tom we have the most amazing time we laugh till our stomachs hurt and we all understand one another and its awesome. For Christmas this year they gave us a tile that says "Our Family" that I have placed on my mantle and than they gave us some picture of us at the Temple the day they were sealed. Thank You Hope and Tom (Buddy & Princess) for being such good friends!! You 2 are absolutely amazing and we appreciate everything you do for us and our family!! Here are a few of the pictures we received from them

My Husband, the dork!!

K, I was looking at some pictures on my mother n laws (penny) camera and there was this picture on Christmas morning of my dorky husband with his new Broncos blanket. I hardly get any pictures of Logan so when I seen this I just knew I had to post it!!

Aisle Surfing

When I was a flight attendant we would do the stupidest but funniest things. We would hide in the overhead bins and have the passenger ring for service and ask the NEW flight attendant to get a coat or something from that overhead bin and as the NEW gal would open the bin we would jump out and scare her. The passengers would get a kick out of it and it was a blast. One time we made fake throw up and had a passenger hold it till we got up in the air and had the drink carts out. We had a NEW, very ANNOYING, flight attendant from Boston trapped between the 2 carts, thats when the passenger handed her the fake throw up and we had her running back and forth for a good 5 minutes trying to get rid of it, it was soooo.... funny, even though she didn't think so. When nobody was on the flight, we would get to sit in the cockpit for the flight and that was the coolest thing ever!!! Just to watch everything they go through, its crazy. And if you ever have a chance, do it! Just never talk to the pilots the first and last 10 minutes, its the most crucial time. Anyways, other times when no one was on the plane but the flight attendants and pilots, we flight attendants would aisle surf! Thats right AISLE SURF. You stand on a card at the front of the plane and as it takes off and starts going in the air you let go of the seat and surf down the aisle. Well one time we had my little digital camera and 3 of us decided to do it at the same time, crazy, I know! Well I was first than my friend Chelsea and than Ashley. Lets just say none of us didn't make it down, but me, and I made it all the way down to the floor. I'll post the video and some pictures. Enjoy but don't laugh to hard
