What Happens When Mom Is Gone???

I went and did a Scentsy party last night, so Justin was watching Jaxon while I was gone. When I got home Justin said he had a picture to show me. These are what he showed me and I couldn't help but laugh! Justin decided to dress Jaxon up in the beanie, glasses and gloves that Justin uses when he used to ride his motorcycle to work in the mornings. I have a feeling he is going to be just like his dad when he gets bigger! YIKES!!!

Never A Dull Moment...

So I have decided that there is never a dull moment in our house. The latest occurance of this is Justin getting laid off from his job yesterday, and Jaxon having the flu on top of that. We heard that something was going on at Justin's work, but didn't really think that anything would happen. Sure enough, Wednesday morning as soon as Justin walked in they told him that they had to lay him off. What a day. I have never felt so lost or so out of control in my life, and if you know me I like to be in control of everything. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, but that is just the way I am programmed. So we had to swallow our pride and file for unemployment and other resources that we never dreamed we would have to use. Needless to say, we have spent the last day online looking for jobs and Justin is out filling out applications today. Jaxon on the other hand is feeling better, minus the milk and Kix cereal he threw up this morning. I don't know if it is a flu bug or something he ate, but he has been throwing up and having the runs for the last 2 1/2 days. Poor kid, I hate when he doesn't feel well. Anyway, that is the scoop at our house. Hope everyone else is doing well! Oh and to add we meet with the Speech Therapist next Thursday to see if Jaxon is in need of their help or not.

New Hair

So I decided that I wanted something new and different for the Fall Season, so I went to my fabulous hair dresser on Saturday and she totally hooked me up! I really like it, what do you all think?

Too Cute...

This is what happens when Mom takes to long to cook lunch!!

Vegas Vacation

We had SO much fun down in Vegas! We saw and did lots of fun stuff, and ate at some yummy places. We went through M&M World, which was one of my favorite places, wandered through all the different casinos, ate at Jimmy Buffet's restaurant, tried to eat at Toby Keith's but the wait was too long, and seriously I think we walked 100 miles through the whole trip! We decided that was the best way to see everything was to walk. The best part was having Jaxon with us so the "card" passer outers didn't bother trying to give us any. I could have done with out all the cigarette smoke, but all in all we had a good time. Oh and I must say that Jaxon is a world class traveler and didn't even care where we were going, he was just along for the ride!

Toby Keith has a bar & grill in the Harrah's casino that we tried to go eat at, but the wait was too long for the little one.

Inside the Venetian Hotel & Casino. I really wanted to go on one of these gondola rides.
Justin & Jaxon with the Green M&M at M&M World!
Jaxon & I in front of the Nascar M&M racecar at M&M World. (I felt like a little kid at this place!)
The lions at the MGM Hotel & Casino. This was super cool to see. The glass between you and the lions is only 1 1/2" thick!
DelRay, Crazy Joe, and Justin. These are his friends that we were hanging out with.

The group of friends that we followed from St. George to Vegas.
This is Jimmy Buffet's restaurant Margaritaville. It was really good and was a cool place to see.
Ok, so I was totally a tourist and was fascinated by the Stratosphere! (Sorry it's sideways!)
I loved walking through here, it was right across the street from where we stayed.

A Little Update...

This is for all 3 or 4 people who care to read my blog or who care to know what is going on in my life! We have appointments with the speech therapist and the developmentalist later in the month of October. They will come in and evaluate Jaxon to see if there is a need for him to see a therapist and to see where he is developmentally and if he needs any help there. I feel good about this endeavor and am doing it more for my own peace of mind.

On a side note, we are headed to Las Vegas tomorrow to catch up with some of Justin's friends at a bike rally. I plan on shopping, shopping, eating, shopping, and oh yeah, catching up with some friends! I have never been to Vegas before (I know, I know, pathetic) and am really looking forward to the little break before the holidays come! I will post some pictures and any great stories from our adventure when we get back. Until then, peace out!

Speech Therapist

So I called the doctor's office today to see what the doctor thought we should do after getting the results of Jaxon's hearing test. He suggested seeing a Speech Therapist from Kids Who Count. So we meet with the coordinator tomorrow to get all set up and ready for our meetings with the therapist. I feel really good about this decision and am anxious to get the ball rolling. Like I have said before, maybe I am paranoid, but a little extra help doesn't hurt right? Stay tuned for more updates on how this adventure goes.
