Tiny Moment - Love the Occassion

Because the sight above is rare.....I savor it! His hand holds are always very sweet and sincere. Love a Jaxson hand hold so much :)

Tiny Moment - My Little "Helper"

I can't help but adore this wild, cute boy of mine sometimes! He decided to help me with laundry and found some soap to put in. He then proceeded to try and turn the washer on and get it going. My little "helper" always has such "good" intentions.

Tiny Moment: He's One Cool Customer

Because Jax sleeps on his belly 99% of the time, I can't get enough of when he sleeps on his back with his hands behind his head. To me, it makes him look like such a big boy and one cool customer ;).

Outside Fun!!!

We are loving the beautiful spring weather and taking full advantage. Oh how this boy likes to be outside! :)

He is always running!

"Say What?!?!?" (Such a Jaxson face!) 

This is Jax hiding, when I told him to come back. 

Just chilling on the sidewalk. 

He loves playing with his ball. More like he likes to tackle it!!! The ball won the tackle war a lot. ;) 

He now likes to go in and out of the house. It's so cute because he knocks on the door when he wants it open. I don't think our AC bill will think it's that cute ;) 

His infamous cheeser face :).

I heart this boy! :) 

His serious stare. Trying to figue out what mayhem to cause next! 

He love, love, loves his new lawn mower. Perfect spring purchase :) 

More running.....

Water break....with my water!!! Little stinker!

And back inside!!! :) 

(I really need to clean the windows on the house!) 

Tiny Moment - Nursery Victory!

Tonight we had a celebratory Sunday treat. We were celebrating Jax's first time going to nursery. I was pleasantly SHOCKED because he went with no tears. He also stayed the whole time, no tears. They even had to bring him to me for a diaper change and he went back, no tears. Did I mention no tears?!!?! I was elated! I was so hoping it would be a positive experience for him. So proud of my little guy :).

Tiny Moment - This is What an Afternoon Walk Looks Like

Love this little explorer of mine! Anywhere we go he finds something to explore and be crazy in, with, around, etc. :) Our walks are always an adventure.

Tiny Moment: Grumpy Afternoon With A Side Of Tired Snuggles

Every kid has them....grumpy afternoons! I am not a fan and neither is the grumpy little monster I have to deal with. Today bubs definitely had a grumpy afternoon. But I'm not going to lie, I love the oh so tired snuggles that occassionally comes with the grumps. :)

Tiny Moments - Park Afternoon

Jax and I love park afternoon and we especially love it when we get to steal Hails and Tay and bring them with us! We had a blast running around the park and then headed back to the house for some fancy hair and nails. :) Girls are fun! :) But I love my boy! :)

18 Month Check Up

Giving the sucker a sucker after his 18 month appointment (definitely his fav part!) He was a trooper for his shots and Dr. Spencer (@Alpine Peds, who we love and recommend to every one) said he is developing great! :)

15 Month Appt, 12 Month Appt, 9 Month Appt, 6 Month Appt, 3 Month Appt, 1 Month appt. 

Happy Half Birthday!

What a fun and perfectly timed weekend to be babysitting two of my nieces, Lola & Jacq. Our fun sleepover weekend happen to fall on Jacq & Jax's half birthday (October 20th birthdays) and just a few days past Lo's half birthday (October 16th birthday). So of course we decided to have a half birthday party! We headed to the store to find special "ice cream" treat and hats. Jacq picked out a yummy cookies and cream and Lo & Jax shared a strawberry sorbet (both have milk allergies). It ended up being a pretty great half birthday! Love these little ladies and my monkey mister!

Lo bugga

Gracer lady 

Mister was not having the hat. 

(Don't mind little guy's face. We were over playing at my sister, Brooke's, and he took a face dive in the neighbor's driveway while he was running around....he's my wild, crazy, busy mister! And now he has the fantastic road rash to prove it!) 

Our super fun little group!

One more pic of them all. Such a cute little bunch :)

Loves him some sorbet!

Such cute little ladies!

Ah Ha Ha.....This Commercial Kills Me!

I told Jon this is how I am going to roll when baby #2 becomes a  reality. He says no way! And I say, no leaky boobs, no opinion :) 

Double Fun! Watson Girl Sleepover!

Another fun times weekend with the Watson ladies. This time I thought it would be fun for the girls to come up with thing they wanted to do during the weekend and that's when we created the wall.....

I unfortunately did not pull the camera a ton but we pretty much did everything on the wall! 

Here are the kiddos painting :)

Oh I love these after church pictures! My babes was not having it and needed a nap BADLY! The girls were super good sports....I'm pretty sure curling their all fancy style won aunt Lyss some extra points. :) 

Even though I was flying solo with the three kiddos (Jon was out of town for work), we had a blast and I think it went great! :) Loved having the girlies! 

Dump Truck Love

Really, Is It That Time Already?

(me @39 weeks with Jaxson)

My babes is going to 18 months this week! I can hardly believe it! The time has flown as I was told it would and sometimes I still can't believe this little boy is mine (well mine and Jon's! ;)). He changes, grows and progresses a little more every day. Becoming even more the crazy, awesome boy we love so much. With Jax reaching the 18 month mark, we are also nearing and passing the 2 year gap we wanted to have between our kids (we are getting OLD.....Jon's dirty 30 is this year and I'm only a year behind him!). So with the timeline inching closer and closer, Jon and I can't help but think about to get preggers or not to get preggers. When I think about getting pregnant, this is what this lady thinks about........ First and foremost, I think about how grateful I am that I was able to get pregnant and have Jax. Then my mind goes a little bit of a different direction......I think about how once or twice a week, I say I am done having kids! Don't get me wrong, I love, LOVE, love my Jaxson boy. However, like most toddlers, especially toddlers that are boys (although I do know some little lady toddlers that fall into this category), he operates at the energizer bunny level. He keeps going and going and going and mind you, this is usually at a sprint pace as walk is not in his vocabulary. Leaving this momma pretty exhausted at the end of the day....and he is just one tiny person! (Some days I feel like such a WUSS!) So while, most times it's not said out of seriousness, sometimes having one child sounds nice! Then I remember the few times I have had the flu since Jax was born and how hard it was to be a mom to him and survive my day (morning sickness.....blah!). Then I remember my hemorrhoids the last month+ of my pregnancy with Jax and post delivery. Those bad boys make my want to curl up in a ball and cry. Gotta love those genetics! Then I remember the months and months and months of sleep deprivation after Jax was born. The hallucinating at night the first 2 months of Jaxson's life (due to lack of sleep), laying next to his crib during naps for a month while he screamed for hours and then finally Jax not sleeping through the night till after he turned a year (sleep trained at least once a month and still no dice). Then I remember I'm about 5 or 10 pounds heavier and much more out of shape then when I got pregnant with Jaxson (that just plain sucks! Why can't I get my workout shiz together!). Gosh dang all of these things should be telling me NO! But then I remember feeling his first thump in my belly while vacationing in Mexico. I remember Jaxson kicking the ultrasound machine at 20 weeks and rolling his booty around my belly when I would take my nightly bath. I remember holding my sweet boy, all ewy and gooey on my chest right after he was born. I remember the first time he nursed (freaking barcoda). I remember his first smile, then laugh. I remember the first time he rolled over, crawled, walked and ran. I remember the first time he said momma (which he has recently boycotted!). So I guess at the end it's a toss up. Do I love being a mom, more than words! Do I think Jax would love a sibling (who knows I could be WAY off), yes. But the question is am I READY?!?! Maybe it's like when we got pregnant with Jax, I knew I was never going to be 100% ready but we still went for it. I guess only time will tell........ ?!!?!!? :)

Our Mini Athlete

He is so hardcore....no shirt, water bottle in hand! ;) Hard core!

Painting with Brushes

I heart this crazy, messy, wild mister. This is what happens when you give him a paint brush. Believe it or not, he is less messy with a paint brush than finger painting....kind of shocking based on the pictures below! :)
