"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

My Hallway Masterpiece

I know this is not the greatest picture, but I had no room to take a picture of my pictures because it’s in the hallway!!! But I was so excited about it I wanted to show you what I have been working on. I hate how every time we have new pictures taken the old ones come down and go in a box to never be looked at again. Well the other day I was looking through pictures and I was just sick that the kids never get to see these fun family pictures. So out of the box they came and into frames and on my wall!!! And the kids love love love looking at them. These are pictures of every family picture I have had professionally taken!! (O geeze as I was writing this I forgot I am missing one picture so I will get that one up there soon) anyway, it is close to every family picture! I am going to work on the hallway downstairs and do a masterpiece of all the kids from the time they were babies to now so when they walk down the hallway to their room they will see them. Fun, Fun!!

Fun Fun Pictures!!

O my goodness I can’t believe I got to spend a day with this sweet baby and her fun parents! My sister called me up and said “my friend just had a baby and she wants to know if you will come to her house and take some pictures” I was thinking “O dear I don’t think I can do that, I am too afraid of messing them up” After some deal making on my sister’s end of watching my kids for me I told her I would just do my best. So I did! I loved this sweet baby so much she was just an angel :) Here are some fun pictures I got! O and I must add this sweet girl just had a c-section ten days ago and she looks like a million bucks for sure. I wish I could snap back that fast after having a c-section, I am usually still down in bed after ten days!DSC_0029 DSC_0011DSC_0042DSC_0546DSC_0438DSC_0129-2DSC_0440DSC_0009DSC_0106DSC_0081DSC_0390DSC_0138DSC_0327 DSC_0102DSC_0028DSC_0540 DSC_0073DSC_0124-2 DSC_0177 DSC_0012DSC_0088DSC_0078-2 DSC_0400-2

Then my sister in law wanted more pictures taken of their family so we went out in the freezing cold and got some super cute ones of her cute little family. O these kids were troopers they were so good!!! Even my brother was a good sport this time!!

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.DSC_0152-5DSC_0328DSC_0095 DSC_0108  DSC_0129 DSC_0144   DSC_0176DSC_0710DSC_0726DSC_0711 DSC_0237 DSC_0240   DSC_0266   DSC_0277 DSC_0278  DSC_0347 DSC_0366 DSC_0380 DSC_0380-2DSC_0800 DSC_0398 DSC_0517 DSC_0523 DSC_0548 DSC_0554 DSC_0555 DSC_0610  DSC_0656 DSC_0669 DSC_0674 DSC_0676 DSC_0683
