Watching summer go away...

My kids watching for lightning and listening to thunder. I put Jaxton by the window to look out while I was cooking dinner then a few minutes later Carter brought blankets and pillows over for Haven too.

Jaxton is two months old now, which is just crazy and sad and exciting all at once. Here is his Tie picture for 2months along with his height and weight we found out from his dr. appt.
He is so fun and smiley.

Jungle Fun, Grow board and Blessing Day

We made paper bag puppets the other day. We realized we had made all jungle animals,with the exception of Haven's kitty cat, so Carter asked if we could make the living room into a jungle.
I said sure , then told him he had to think of how to do it. He remembered we had some "green stuff" from a birthday party leftover. So as you can see we hung the paper Mache from the ceiling like vines then scattered it on the floor . Then Carter grabbed q-tips and pretended they were blood sucking worms. lol pretty creative i would say. it was easy and fun for the kids.

I saw one of these at a friends house and this is my rendition of it. I bought a 6 foot board from Lowe's. spray painted it light green. Then had my mom's friend Sandy Cricut the vinyl letters and numbers. to make this Grow board. I thought this is a fun way to measure your children's growth over the years, without marking up walls and this can come with you wherever you move.

Carter is 3foot 8 inches and Haven is 2 feet 10 inches.

Today we blessed Jaxton. It is always a neat experience to hear your children get blessings from their father. He wore the same tux outfit we had Carter blessed in. He looked Very handsome. everyone kept saying how cute of an outfit he had and wondering where I got something like that. I told them all that you can't find outfits like this anywhere but in Utah of course. :) my sister in law who likes to tease about the mormons said, "yeah probably on every corner in Utah". lol

(these last two pics don't have the suit jacket, cuz it was hot today so we took it off right after the blessing)
I LOVE HIS SMILES !! the camera distracts him though so it is hard to get a full one. But baby smiles are the best !right?

fun pictures

Jaxton is 6 weeks old Here is the weekly pictur with Carter's Tie.

This is when my friend Mellisa was here she took some great pictures like this one. hers will be better, this is just one I snapped with my camera. I will post more when she sends me the ones she took. yay I am so excited to see them.

funny story here: we wanted to do some naked newborn pictures so we have him all set up in my bay window in my bedroom with the curtains closed and such as you can see, and all of a sudden we hear a grunt and see poop all over our backdrop/curtains. I said "well atleast they are yellow the same color of baby poop, and now I have an excuse to wash them" oh man what an adventure to get pictures of a baby. lol

Isn't it so fun when your baby can really smile consistently at you
trying on his hat.

"Punching" Carter

aww sleeping baby :)

Haven found her dirty boots and decided they were good enough since she couldnt find her crocs.

4 weeks

My baby boy Jaxton is 4 weeks old today! I am trying to do a picture every two weeks of him in Carters tie to see his growth. he is gaining weight good. he was born at 7lbs. and now is at 9 within only 4 weeks.

To anyone who knows me well, you will not be surprised that I have dyed my hair again. So this picture is basically for my mom, because she was curious to see what it looks like. who can afford to go to the salon these days? so I bought a chestnut brown and this is how it turned out.
