"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

Happy 1st Birthday Jaxon

We had a fun fire truck birthday party for Jaxon! He loved his new little fire truck we bought him, I didn’t think he would know what to do with it but boy was I wrong it was a big hit that’s for sure. We had lots of family at his party and no one can believe how fast the time has gone by so I guess it’s nice it’s not just me who feels that way.  DSC_0702DSC_1040

This is the famous pouty look that I love so much :) DSC_1045 DSC_1048 DSC_1050

He loved this monkey that Aunt Katie and Uncle Rodger gave him. DSC_1055 DSC_1058 DSC_1059

Jaxon had lots of helpers opening his presents. DSC_1061 DSC_1062 DSC_1063 DSC_1065 DSC_1069  Absolutely loved the fire truck…..he wants to be just like Grandpa when he grows up!!DSC_1071-2  DSC_1072-2 DSC_1075 DSC_1076  Get this monkey off of me!!!DSC_1079-2 DSC_1080

Loves to wave at everyone and say “Hi” DSC_1083 DSC_1087 DSC_1092 DSC_1097 DSC_1104

Of course he ate the paper why wouldn’t he!! DSC_1106 Great Grandma Pasley and JaxonDSC_1116

He wanted to get that candle so bad!! DSC_1117

Jaxon got some new slippers and my Mom was helping him put them on and he wasn’t too sure about them. Jaxon doesn’t like anything furry, like stuffed animals because Josh has a coyote hide and he has scared Jaxon with it one too many times so now when he sees or feels something furry, like the inside of these slippers, he thinks it’s the coyote and he hates it! DSC_1134 DSC_1142

He hated this stuffed animal my brother gave him!! It was actually pretty funny to watch. DSC_1146

He would barely touch his nose and that’s it! DSC_1148

And then he would hold tight to Grandma and cry :( DSC_1154

Jaxon was pretty good at unwrapping gifts, he knew what to do! DSC_1155

He loves to drink out of cups. DSC_1160 DSC_1162 DSC_1164 DSC_1165 DSC_1166

Jaxon loved his cupcake but he wasn’t too sure why everyone had to watch him. DSC_1172DSC_1174DSC_1181Happy Birthday Sweet boy, we love you!

Jaxon's First Year

My baby boy is one years old today! It just seems like I had him yesterday. As I went back and tried to come up with a years worth of pictures of his first year of life I had a flood of memories. So many pictures, so many fun times with this sweet boy. He is just wonderful and loved so much. I wanted to be able to look at how he changed and when he changed from these pictures. And he changed so fast, right before my eyes. I love, love, love him! I am so sad that he is already one, time just goes so fast. We are having a party for him tonight so I will have to post about that later. For now this sweet boy has a few things that he loves to do and I don't want to forget.
