family tidbits

So I am really lazy, and just don't have the motivation to update the blog any more.  Not quite sure why though....  There has been so much going on the last 5 months that I don't know where to start.  So I guess I will start in July and work my way to December...

The month of July...
To start this month off, we had Jaxons 5th birthday!  I can't believe he is really that old now!  We had all the family over for cake and ice cream.  My grandparents, my parents, sister, brother, and Jaxons cousin Rani all came up.  And of course we had all of Tonys family here, well except the ones that live in Hawaii.  He got so many cool new toys!  It was a blast!



Also in July, Jaxon got to come with me to Young Womens one night.  We got to ride horses, that Chelsie and Casey brought.  It was alot of fun!  And Jaxon had such a good time.  He loves to ride horses.  I hadn't been on a horse for such a long time, but I did get up on one.  Jaxon and I rode together for a little while.


(This little guy is Colter.  He is Chelsie and Caseys little one.  He is freaking cute!)

The month of August....
Well I can't remember alot that happened this month.  But there are just a couple things.  First my little man started Kindergarten.  WOW!!  Is he really old enough to go to school and ride a bus??  Yes he is.  I was more nervous about what he was going to eat for lunch and what if the other kids pick on him, rather than him actually going to school or riding the bus.  He seems to be doing just fine, and he loves riding the bus with his friends.  And he even talks about a couple little girls from his class, so cute!!



This month was also Tonys 30th birthday!  We really didn't do much, but it fun to tease him that he is old. 

The month of September...
Jaxon started soccer! I was a little nervous cuz he is kinda a drama queen. I was thinking if he got kicked or didn't get the ball that there was going to be a melt down on the soccer field. But he actually suprised me and did so much better than I thought, only a couple of melt downs. His cousin Ashtyn played on his team too, so that was good. Tony was an assistant coach, and I think he had more fun than he will tell you. I think Jaxon thought it was pretty cool too.


 

And poor Kinsley got to come along for the ride whether she wanted to or not

September also brought a little fun for me...well if you call running a half marathon fun.  I was impressed with my mother in law running a half, so I thought "Why can't I?"  Ya, I could list a few reasons why I can't, but I won't.  It was alot of hard work and motivation to train for it.  I didn't do as good as I wanted, but I am still proud of myself that I finished it.  Now I just have to run another one to improve my time.  The half was in Pinedale,WY, the end of September.  It was fun to go up and stay at a hotel and have a little get a way for a day or two.


(This hill freaking sucked, right at mile 2...ya, I walked up it, so what??!!!)

The kids and Tony had fun playing in the pool.  That was Kinsleys first time in a pool, I think she had fun.




The month of October...
Um, ya I can't remember anything...oh ya how could I forget hunting season?  This year I didn't get to go with Tony because someone had to stay with Kinsley.  But he got a little 2 point, and Jaxon thought it was the coolest thing ever!  These pictures aren't the greatest cuz Tony took them with his phone.



And then who could ever forget "The Thumb" incident? I had just gotten home from Park City, when Tony decides to slice the top of his left thumb with a razor knife. Awesome! He took off the glove, and then there was blood. Lots of blood. I knew he was gonna need stitches for sure. Little did I know, he was gonna need more than stitches. Went to the doctor, and all they do is wash it out, give him a tetanus shot, and put two tiny stitches in it to hold it closed. They tell us he needs surgery. Nice. He cut the top two tendons on his thumb. Like severed them, cut them. Even better. So he had surgery a couple days later. Was in a like a soft cast for 6 weeks. So that means... no work, needing help with everything basically, and irratating me.






The month of November...
I don't have anything fun for this month... I know you are bummed.  We just went to my parents for Thanksgiving.  Oh and we did the Black Friday shopping at the Brigham Walmart and Target on Riverdale.  NEVER AGAIN!!!!!  I can not believe how rude some people are and how "mine, mine, mine" people are.  And the line at Target, wrapped all the way around to the back of the building at 3:30 in the morning!  The stinkin store didn't open till 4!!  We sat in our car till we saw people moving.  No way am I gonna stand outside in that freezing cold weather!  I am not THAT dumb!  But we did get some good stuff for the kids, and I guess that is what matters!  FYI:  the Walmart in Evanston in not anything close to what the Walmart was in Brigham!  You actually have a chance of getting the good stuff up here! 

Oh, and I guess I did have a birthday. YA!  Not!  We went to Salt Lake and ate with good friends of mine.  My friend Ashley and I are ten days apart, so for the last few years, we have been getting together to go eat around our birthdays.  It was alot of fun, lots of laughs, and good stories.  And I am sure Tony felt like a polygamist, cuz he was the only guy!  HAHA!!

The month of December...
I know, I am almost done.  I know it is a way tooooo loonnngg of post, but stick with me here, just a little bit longer!  Well my baby, Kinsley, turned 1!  No, it can't be!  She can't be one already!  Where did that year go?  It seems like just yesterday I had her.  She is doing really good, almost walking.  She is letting go and walking more and more steps without help.  And she gets this goofy grin on her face, "Like ya I know I am big stuff!"  I just love her to death!  She brings so much joy and happiness to our family.  We had a party for her, and I made her a number 1 cake.  She quite enjoyed the frosting!



Happy Birthday Runt! 

And of course there is Christmas... just another day at our house.  Tony had to work Christmas Eve, Christmas day, and the day after.  So we did our "Christmas" on Christmas eve night after Tony got home from work.  Jaxon was convinced that Santa was going to make a special trip to our house because his dad had to work.  So while at Grandma Susans, "Santa" made that special stop.  When we got home, Jaxon walked in as normal, and then when he walked into the living room, he flipped out!  OMG!!! 
It was freaking hilarious!  I wish I would have had a camera.  He was so excited!  He screamed so loud!  Both kids got spoiled, just as they should, and Tony spoiled me too.  Kinsley had more fun playing with the boxes and whatever she could.  She could have cared less about opening presents, so Jaxon did it for her.  All in all, we had a great Christmas.  So glad it is over for another year!

5 years ago today...



( two weeks old)

today is a special day in our house... our little man jaxon was born in st. george at 8:18 a.m.  i can't believe he is turning 5!!  he is my light and world!  i would truly be lost without him.  he has brought so much happiness and laughter to our family.  he also knows how to get into trouble too...but what kid doesn't right?  when i found out i was pregnant, i pretty much fell on the floor.  i couldn't believe what the doctor was telling me.  i was supposed to be having surgery to be able to get pregnant, and lo and behold i was already 4 weeks and 2 days along.  i think when i called tony to tell him, i had to tell him several times.  he couldn't believe what i was saying.  in fact he must have gone a little pale, because i could hear the guy he was working with ask him if he was ok.  that was a good day, but it was even better when we finally got to me our little guy.  i love every minute of every day with jaxon.  i have my moments don't get me wrong, but when he is not around my heart is lonely.  here are 5 reason why i love this kid so much...

  1.  his smile
  2.  when he crawls into bed with me, even if he does kick me
  3.  his hugs and kisses
  4.  his laugh
  5.  the way he helps me around the house and with kinsley

HaPpY bIrThDaY jAxOn!!!!



(this was last year picture, i don't have this years back yet)

oh wow...

well ya i know it is about time that i update the blog, right?  so i will try and get as much done as i can...

1. the biggest news is that we bought a house!!  yeah for us!  we were going to build, but the banks thought it would be fun to tell us one thing one week, and tell us something different the next.  so in the end, we bought a house.  i absolutely love it!!

2. tony started a business...TK Window and Door...  his old job in st. george was windows and doors, on the commercial side, not so much residential.  he can do residential, but he is mainly focusing on the commercial side of things.  his work is still the same...but the company has gone into negotiations on contracts...so if in a couple of weeks there is no agreement then they go on StRiKe for 2 weeks!!!  he thinks that it will all work out, but there is always that possibility that it won't!

3.  jaxon graduated from preschool!  yeah!  and will be going into kindergarten in the fall...can i just say that he is more excited to ride the big yellow bus than to go to school!  i can't believe he is getting so big!  some days i just look at him and think, where in the crap did 4, almost 5, years go??!!  he also got signed up for soccer...this shall be quite interesting the first time he gets kicked or he gets the ball!  i am really excited for him though.  he also starts swim lessons on monday!  i think he will do so good, he loves to swim!  he is such a good brother to kinsley.  he will watch her when i shower or am doing something.  he loves to make her laugh!  and he is such a good help with her!  gets us diapers, wipes, her binky...whatever!  i thought he was going to have such a hard time with her, but he seems to be ok with it all... he still has his moments, but is good for the most part.

4.  kinsley is getting so BIG!!!  she is almost 6 months!  again, where did the time go??  yes, i know that i am the BiGgEsT sLaCkEr ever because i still don't have any baby pictures of her yet.  but ya know, the last few months have been rather stressful.  i hope to get some done along with some new family pics soon though now that things have settled down a bit.  she is the best baby ever!  she has her moments that is for sure, but her smiles make up for it!  she has the best smiles in the world!  when i go in her room to get her in the mornings, those smiles just melt my heart... her eyes light up, and ahhh...So CuTe!!  she hasn't quite figured out how to roll over yet, and that kind of worries me, but i guess it will happen when she is ready.  she has the strongest little chubby legs ever!  she loves to stand up!  she for sure loves jaxon.  when he comes into a room or just talks to her, she smiles and giggles and watches him like a hawk.  jaxon can get her to laugh like no one else!  and that laugh.....oh my!  i sure do love her and can't imagine my life without her!

sorry this is a short post, but it is an update!  hopefully i will get some pictures on here soon!
