My Ruined Anniversary Date!

So what we thought was going to be a great night all to ourselves, didn't quite turn out that way. Just our luck! As I said in the previous post, my mom was going to take Jaxon for the night. Well we took him out there, and we went to the Olive Garden for dinner. It was so yummy and they even gave us free dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. So we were headed back home and we get a phone call from my mom saying that she can't get Jaxon to stay in the play pen that he is supposed to be sleeping in. He keeps climbing out and climbing up the stairs to come find her and my dad. So after various failing attempts to get him to stay in his bed, we ended up having to go get him! We get him all loaded in the car, and naturally on the way home he falls asleep. The little stink! It is such a Jaxon thing for him to do! Oh well, I guess that is part of parenthood, and at least we got to have dinner.

3 Happy Years!

So this is a little late, but on Tuesday July 8th was our 3rd wedding anniversary. We didn't do much to celebrate since it was on a Tuesday, but my mom is taking Jaxon this Saturday night so we can go out and have a night to ourselves. (Like we will know what to do with ourselves?! ha ha ha) I know 3 years doesn't seem like much for some, but for us it feels like a milestone, and like it should be longer than that. Sometimes we feel like we have been together for 100 years. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Justin is a great guy and I definitely couldn't have asked for a better husband. He definitely puts up with his fair share of crap, but keeps trudging along with me. We are the best of friends and I know it will always be that way. Thanks for 3 wonderful years Justin, I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! I LOVE YOU!!

When we got back to Seminole from Daytona, Jaxon started getting sick. He was throwing up like every 20 minutes and then started having 'the runs' too. We couldn't keep anything in him and I knew he was running a fever. So at about 11:30 p.m. we took him to the emergency room. He was a very dehydrated and sick little boy. He had a fever of 102 degrees and they couldn't get an IV started for anything. They finally got him to drink some anti nausea medicine and that helped his belly calm down and he finally went to sleep. We ended up taking him home at about 3:30 a.m. that morning. All 3 of us were so tired, plus his grandma and grandpa who camped out in the eaiting room, such troopers. Needless to say we spent the next 4 days sitting at Nana's house nursing him back to health. He finally started feeling 100% better on the Monday after we got home. Naturally! A shot of the track from the tour bus we took. It was AMAZING to see in person.

While we were in Florida we decided to take a day and drive up to Daytona which is about a 3 hour drive. Justin wasn't taking no for an answer though, see we were headed to the Daytona Raceway where they hold the Daytona 500 Nascar race. This is a little piece of paradise for Justin, who just happens to be Nascar's biggest fan!!

Jaxon wasn't too sure about it first!

Florida Fun!!

We just recently got back from visiting Justin's grandma in Seminole, Florida. We had such a fun time and they are seriously the sweetest people I have ever met. Our trip started out great. Jaxon did sooo good on the plane, thanks to the DVD player and The Wiggle's movies we took. We spent a day at the beach which was so much fun. Justin and I both love the water and were so excited for Jaxon to experience it too. His grandparents live about 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so we were right there and you could actually smell the salt from the water.
