Jaxon 11 Months

Another month has gone by!! I shouldn’t say “gone by” I should say “flown by”!!  This sweet boy of ours is the sweetest boy ever. Everyone told me how terrible boys were and they always said “just wait”. Well so far I would prove them wrong. This little guy is the most mellow, loveable, gentle, happy, little man. Maybe it is because he is in the house with all girls everyday! I don’t care what it is he is just a sweetie :)  He is crawling wherever he needs to go, he walks along things very well and when he gets brave he lets go and stands there for just a minute. Jaxon is a prefect sleeper, never cries when I lay him down, he just snuggles up to his favorite blanket and goes to sleep. He loves any kind of food, but bananas have got to be his favorite and I can tell by the way he smacks his lips together when he eats them. He waves his hand when I say “bye bye” or “night night”. He can say Da and Ma! He loves to play with his toys, especially if his sisters are playing with him. Jaxon loves to be held!!    He loves everyone and will go to anyone who holds him. He will sit and rock in the chair with me for hours and is so content. I love this sweet boy, I feel so blessed to have him in our lives.                    

Ballet

I finally got to get a picture of all these cute little ballerinas! My girls took ballet for the first time last year and they got to perform in the Nutcracker and they loved it so much that I decided to put them in it again this year. They have just had a blast! I have to tell you taking seven little girls in my car at one time is a job, but they are all so cute and funny that it makes for an interesting day. These cute girls have all taken dance from my sister in law since they were two and they have all grown to love dance. When we decided to put them in ballet it seemed like a big job but we have helped each other out and it has worked so good. It is always nice to have someone to carpool with. Anyways I just love these cute girls!

 

Look at all the different shoes that these little girls wear to ballet!!

 

 

Maddy, Jani, Skyler,

Alyssa, Kynzee,

Taya, and Kenna

And this little boy hates ballet!!!! Why?? Because he has to ride in the car way too much!!!

 

Happy Halloween

We had a very fun Halloween this year! The kids make it so much fun :) We let the kids carve their own pumpkins this year and they were pumpkins that we grew in the garden so that made it even more fun. The girls have been watching those pumpkins grow all summer so they were looking forward to carving them for a long time now. Josh had to work Halloween night so he came with me to a few houses before he had to leave and then I took the kids trick or treating to friends and family and they got plenty of candy! It was a fun fun night, Halloween is an exciting day at our house.       

Learning how to use my camera

My sweet sister in law has these two cute friends, who are actually sisters, who asked me to take their family pictures. At first I was thinking no way I am not very good with my camera, it completely stresses me out, and I have lots of friends and family who take amazing pictures who could do a better job for them than me! But I decided to do them a favor and try my best at getting them a good family picture. Lets just say I did my best! I think the more you practice the more comfortable you are, so this was good practice for me that’s for sure.
