"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Jaxon 18 months

I just cannot believe this little baby boy of mine is 18 months old (or he will be this week) it is just crazy how fast they grow up. I wanted to take some pictures of him and he was not really thrilled about it at all, but I was happy to just get a couple that showed me his cute personality. Jaxon is the sweetest little boy and he is so calm and easy going most days. He is so happy and loves everyone!! I wish I could keep him little forever. Love you little man!!

 

Jaxon loves his Daddy’s boots, and I wanted a picture of him in them and then I found this poem that I loved!!

Daddy's Boots
I want to be like Daddy
Someday if I can,
Mom told me when I fill his shoes
I'll be a real big man.
His hat and tie's no problem,
I'll grow a good amount,
and I may be able to fill his shoes,
It's these boots I'm worried about.

I will treasure this picture forever!

Katie’s Belly

Kenna is so amazed by Katie’s belly and every time we see Katie she has to comment on her belly. Kenna even stuffs things in her shirts to make her belly look like Katie’s and it is so funny. On Sunday Katie was over at our house and Kenna started making these little animals crawl all over Katie’s belly. O Kenna is such a funny girl and she makes us all laugh!

Jaxon loves to draw

Jaxon will sit and draw me pictures and is so entertained by whatever it is that he is drawing with. I love to watch him hold that little crayon or pencil and draw. He is so patient and so steady with his fingers, I just love it. I finally got a picture of him practicing his artist abilities. Jaxon is such a fun little boy and he is at such a fun age, I just love him so much.

Jaxon’s butch!

Jaxon got a hair cut by his Momma!! That is always a scary thing for sure. His hair grows so fast and I just didn’t like it getting so long, so he got a butch for the summer. He was so good during the whole haircutting process and then after he was done he cried. Guess he didn’t like his new haircut!!

Kolby Ray

My sister Katie is carrying Kolby Ray in her belly and he is soon going to be making his grand entrance into our lives. Katie is so cute pregnant and my girls and I have enjoyed watching her belly grow :) I cannot wait to meet this special baby boy! Love you Katie.

Dance Recital

My girls had their end of the year dance recital. It is always so fun to watch them because I never go to their practices, so I never know what their dance is going to look like! I am always pleasantly surprised to see how hard they worked all year. I love these girls, they are such happy free spirited girls and I hope they always stay that way. They are so sweet and they bring so much joy into my life, I am so proud of them.

Danika

I got to take this cute girls birthday pictures and I was so excited. She was just a doll and she made me smile the whole time. She wanted to pick out her own chair to sit on with every different outfit she had…I loved it!!! She was such a two year old and it just made my day. I know I am not the greatest at this but when someone asks me to take some pictures for them I just try my best.DSC_0053DSC_0085DSC_0273DSC_0224DSC_0242DSC_0195DSC_0096DSC_0078

Kynzee and Alyssa

Kynzee and Alyssa did a dance for their class talent show and then they got to do it again for their end of the year talent assembly. It was so fun to watch them dance together and have so much fun. These two might look a lot alike but they are two very different girls with two very different personalities. I love these two!
