1 More day !!!!!

My baby comes home tomorrow night! He called me this morning to tell me that there is " only ONE more sleep" until he comes home! He is having a blast and being just as goofy as ever. He will miss camp a ton but we are happy to have him coming home. We are going to the airport with balloons to welcome him home! I miss that silly face!

This picture was taken at the Hill Cumorah Pageant. They went up to NY on one of their field trips. Since my parents were involved in the pageant for so long they pulled some strings and the boys got to try on some of the costumes.

Jaxon at Camp GeedaPapa

As most of you know our little Jaxon has been in Connecticut at camp Geedapapa. My parents every year have a camp for the older grandkids. Jaxon is having the time of his life. One of his favorite things to do at camp is to play on "papa's ropes" and to go down the zip line. He loves being able to play in the woods and looking for all the animals. He called me the other morning and he was so excited to tell me he was feeding the wild turkeys. We are missing him tons but are excited about his opportunity to learn from his grandparents and to have fun with his cousins. Thanks Mom and Dad. I will try to keep everyone updated on Jaxon's adventures as soon as I receive more pictures.

Look at him go! He's a monkey! He's fearless and having a blast!

* SIDE NOTE: My Dad climbs trees and puts up rope courses for a living. I grew up in trees and I trust my Dad completely so don't worry about me, it doesn't make me nervous at all!

ONLY 15 MORE DAYS UNTIL MY LITTLE BOY COMES HOME!!!!!!!!

Miracle Whip Party!

Well I had an interesting night last night. I had taken the boys to the pool in the morning and put sun screen on all of us before we left, but only one of us got fried ME! I look like a lobster-after it's cooked! Chad has been out of town this week and I didn't trust Jax with the spray aloe so Kambery came over to help me. She said to try mayonnaise. A doctor told her it would take the burn out. So late last night Kambrey and Tammy ( to of my neighbors) rubbed miracle whip all over me while I held my nose. I hate mayonnaise and the smell of it makes me want to gag. So you can see how much I wanted the burning to be gone. IT WORKED! It took a lot (not all) of the burn out. The mayo started to melt on me.


So now from my own stupidity we now know that mayo actually does work to take the burn out! I have the best neighbors! Thanks Kambrey and Tammy! And thanks to Liz for the fan!

"Holy Cow Batman it's Jaxon"

BATMAN, BATMAN everything is Batman lately. Jaxon loves superheros. Right now everything is Batman. Noah loves everything Jax loves and so our little (or not so little) Noah even with his speech issues can say "Batman".( The speech therapist was shocked).

Jax turned 4 in May and of course we had to have a batman party. Jaxon kept on asking if Batman could come to his party so I got online every costume was almost $90.00 to rent or $120.00 to buy. So I went to buy some other CHEAP party stuff and come across a Batman suit for $30.00 with free shipping. So we surprised Jax and Batman came to his party. He was totally scared until I told him it was our good friend Brady who is also our Bishop. Then he started talking about going to fight all the bad guys. All the kids had a great time.

So the next day we went to church and Jaxon sees the Bishop and then asks me" Mommy, is the Bishop going to be Batman at church?" I said no of course and he came back with " Why Mom Jesus doesn't want the bad guys in the church." I was speechless! I love that child!

I love living with my bat boys! Hope you have a happy day!

Happy Father's Day!

We as a family are so grateful today for all of the wonderful man we have in our lives. We have the best Fathers, Papas, Grandpas and Uncles and this family even has a Boubacar and a Collin. We are so grateful for the love and support that these amazing men show our family. When we asked Jaxon today what he loves about all of these men, the most common answer was that they wrestle with me! When I think of all of these men I think of honor, respect, humility, humor and most importantly love. I want to let all of you know that I have the best husband ever. Yes he is better then yours :) He is such a good Daddy. I couldn't have asked for better for my boys! I want my Daddy to know that I will alway be a daddy's little girl. I admire him so much. ( O.K. I'm crying now) He has truly made me a better person and has should me through example how a women should be treated. Daddy you treat Mom like a queen and I'm glad I found a husband with that same quality! We love you all. Happy Father's Day!

Happy Mother's Day

Here is a little gift the boys and I made for Mother's Day saying, "Thanks for helping us grow"

Happy Mother's Day! To all of you who don't know already, I have the best Mom ever. She is a terrific example of everything a mother should be. She amazes me. She was a great mother to have growing up and still continues to be one of my best friends. I am so grateful for her unconditional love and support from miles away. I couldn't have asked for a better Mom -maybe not such an over achiever:)- and an even better Geeda ( that is the word for Grandma in our family). My boys adore her. I hope that when I continue to grow up I can emulate some of her amazing qualities.
I also have been blessed with wonderful grandmothers, a Helen, aunts, a mother-in law, a sister- in law , supportive girl friends and awesome sisters who I am so grateful for. I am so lucky to be surrounded, whether close or miles away by such strong and loving women. I hope that you feel the joy I have felt today. Have a great Mother's Day!
