Stuff

We really are still alive. I still love looking at all of your blogs, but have a rough time keeping mine updated. Rather than bore you with playing catch up for the past 3 months, we will just start where we are now. I have to say, (knock on wood) life is pretty good right now. We are all healthy and happy, can we really ask for anything more? We are itching for Spring to get here so we can spend more time outside getting our wiggles out.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Am I excited? No not really. This is one holiday I could care less about. Not that I don't love being loved or having my hubby or others show it, but seriously my life would be just fine with out Valentine's Day. I always tell Justin, why spend money on gifts and a date for Valentine's Day when we could save that money and spend it on our anniversary. Jaxon has had fun with Valentine's this year though. He picked out Spiderman valentine cards to give to the kids in his pre-school class, and he and I made red velvet cupcakes. P.S. I felt really old buying my son his first box of valentine cards. The only thing Justin and I usually do for each other is buy a card. This year for some reason I was totally off my game and procrastinated buying him a card. So, after he went to work tonight I sat down and wrote him a letter. I think that is much better than a store bought card anyway.
So anywho, that is the excitement at our house...I know terribly exciting right?! I am seriously going to try to be better at this blogging thing, you all are making me look bad! :)

New Family Pictures

Rub - A - Dub - Dub

These two boys LOVE bathtime!! Jaxon especially likes bathing with Anthony. It gets a little wild sometimes, and sometimes I wonder who gets more wet, me or them, but it is fun to watch them play together.

Forever...Part 2

Once again, it has been forever since my last post. My excuse this time? Yeah I have one...my computer was in the shop and it took like 2 months to get it back. I have lots of pics to post and have had good intentions to post, but 2 little boys, (and 1 big boy) have kept me busy lately. Rather than bore you with the past, here are the pictures and a little blurb to catch you up on our exciting life.

Jaxon has turned 4 now and has started pre-school. He loves his teacher and really enjoys going. He is growing like a weed, 35 lbs. and 40" tall, and has developed quite the attitude. We are dealing with a bit of a headstrong boy with a smart mouth to follow. My mom keeps saying it is just a stage and I hope she is right!

Anthony is 7 months old now and is also growing like a weed. He has 2 bottom teeth and is currently cutting the top 2. It is funny how different the 2 boys are. Teething with Jaxon was a breeze, but Anthony is another story. He is cranky, drooly, and not enjoying it at all...who could blame him? He is sitting up himself and we find him in the oddest places from him rolling and scooting all over the floor. He still isn't sleeping thru the night. Apparently to him sleep is over rated and is not important to him, which means it's not important to mom either.

Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment!!

Forever

Oh my gosh, it has been FOREVER since I have posted!! I just noticed that I didn't post at all in August...geez! I have been reading everyone elses blogs though, it is my only connection to the outside grown up world! Summer has been busy, but lots of fun. We took Jaxon to his preschool meet & greet today to meet his teacher. He starts on Tuesday and just the thought of him going to school brings tears to my eyes. On top of that he is turning 4 on the 10th. Seriously? Where did the last 4 years go? He isn't a baby anymore, but a big boy (as he often reminds me!)and is such his own little person. He has been a bit of a handful lately, and I think that going to school and having a bit more structure is going to be great for him. I am glad he is excited to go to school, it makes it a little easier on mom. I will do a full update complete with pictures soon when I find 5 minutes that I don't know what to do with. Not sure when that will happen... Til then I hope you all had a great summer and are looking forward to fall as much as I am!

Time For An Update!!

You know it is time to update your blog when your BFF sends you a text message that says "Update your damn blog!" Life is good, just enjoying the summer. Here are a few posts, 11 to be exact, to catch you up on all the excitement we have had in the last month or so. It's ok if you don't read them all, I won't judge you, however I might be a tad heartbroken! :) Enjoy!!

The Toy Fairy

Justin and I have decided that we are going to write a book entitled "Lies You Tell Your Kids to Get Them To Do What You Want". I am pretty sure it will be a bestseller. One chapter would be called The Toy Fairy and it would go something like this. If you want your kids to clean up their toy room, tell them that there is a toy fairy that will come and take whatever toys don't get cleaned up. It works...for now. (Please don't judge our parenting skills...or lack of skills! Whatever works right?)
