Idaho Falls Getaway Part 2

It finally happened!! We got to turn Jaxon's carseat around!! I don't know what happened but he just all of a sudden gained a pound and a half (i am not compaining, trust me) and he finally made it to that wonderful 20 pound mark, 6 months before the Dr. predicted!! He had only been gaining about 2 ounces every three weeks and then boom growth spurt and now he has stopped completely but at least he can see out the window now!! I just love this face, he looks so confused!!
Daddy and Jaxon playing in the not so hot "Hot Tub", the water was not even as warm as normal bath water, grr. Anyway Jaxon is pretty much fearless in the water and he just jumps in, literally!! He was sitting on the stairs and he would just take a head dive right into the water.
Dad trying to teach Jaxon how to swim, he just thought it was cool to chase mom around in circles.
Jaxon did not like the idea of floating on his back at all!! But we all had a great time playin in the pool!!

Idaho Falls Getaway

Wow, I am really behind!! Oh well, better late than never. Anyway we headed up to Idaho Falls on the 19th, we so needed a getaway!! Josh had been working tons of overtime and busting his bum on school and we had not had much time as a family, so we ran away!! I must say that I am proud of you babe, you A+ Certified computer dude!! Anyway when we got to IF we had a little picnic lunch and then we went to walk around the falls and we found SO many geese, they were everywhere!! Jaxon thought that it was the funniest thing to have dad chase them, which was a little scary for mom because these geese were fearless!! Dad got a good workout chasing those geese all over the park.

Then it was off to the Zoo, I love the zoo!! Jaxon's favorite part was the Monkeys and the Penguins. But of course my camera died soon after we got there so I don't have many pics. Jaxon and this monkey were playing with each other through the glass it was hilarious!!
Dad & Jaxon looking at all the animals.
They had this cool little petting zoo there but of course our little man refused to pet them. Oh well.

Happy Anniversary

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Cache County Fair & Rodeo

We went to the Fair & Rodeo with my parents this year. It was my dad's birthday and he had to cook dutch oven for all of the contestants that night so we headed over to Logan. Happy belated Birthday Dad!! We had a lot of fun and can I just say that my little cowboy was the cutest one there!! I bought him the cutest little cowboy boots (but I don't have a picture) and my mom bought him the cutest shirt!!

5 Reasons why I'm gonna be a cowboy

1. Grandpa will buy me a horse!

2. Grandma will buy me a hat!

3. Mom will be my biggest fan!

4. Dad will buy me a truck!

5. My life will be a great ride!

Jaxon and daddy at the fair looking at all the animals.

Mom and Jaxon with the sheep.

Jaxon does not look one bit happy, but he really was having fun, he loved the horses and the cows.

Playing around on the bleachers.

I could not get him to smile for the camera!! Everytime I tried to take a picture this is the face I would get.

What a difference!

Jaxon is officially the owner of 4 pearly whites!! His two top teeth finally broke through, and it was not anything like when he got his bottom teeth. With the bottom ones I did not even know that he was getting teeth, they just showed up one day. The top ones he was so grumpy and if things were not exactly his way he would get so upset. Most of the day this is what he did, hang out on the couch with Teddy.

Dads Motorcycle

Jaxon absolutely loves dads motorcycle, there is only one problem. He is not content to just sit on it with dad anymore!! He thinks that he needs to climb up the gas tank so that he can reach the stereo and the handle bars. I think we have trouble on our hands!!!!

Walking or Riding?

Jaxon is now able to walk with his walker, but I guess sometimes we need to shake things up. He will sit down in his walker and push himself all around with his feet. He is really good at walking and he will even stand up by himself for a few seconds. I know that the little stinker could walk if he wanted to, he just does things his way.

Oh HoW i LoVe DoUbLe CoUpOnS!!!!

Let me just say how much I love Smith's right now!!!! Double coupons are FANTASTIC!!!! This was my first real shoppong trip using any sort of double coupons or similiar things and now I must admit- I AM HOOKED FOR LIFE!!!!

Total before coupons- $128.00

Total after coupons- $30.11

That a savings of 78%, and it equalls out to be about .50 cents per item!!!! AWESOME!!!!

Many of these items were actually FREE which makes it even better. So now a picture for your viewing pleasure.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!!

Josh was able to get us tickets to a BEES game down in Salt Lake. We had really good seats 5th row on the 1st base line!! I had never been to a baseball game before so I was pretty excited!! Josh and Jaxon took their mits hoping that they could get a foul ball. No luck there but we did get Jaxon's mit signed by #16 Gary Patchett (shortstop). We had a blast!!

Dad and Jaxon at the game. Jaxon does not look one bit happy but he really was so good for the whole game!!

Jaxon is obessed with sunglasses!!

What a cheese!! How can you not love that face?!

I put our drink down in the cupholder and Jaxon was just walking back and forth holding onto the seats in front of us and apparently he got thirsty. He just leaned right down to that drink and took what he wanted. It was so funny!!

Griffiths Family Reunion

We went up Logan Canyon to hang out with the Griffiths Family and we had a blast!! It was fun to escape for a day or two and just hang out!!

What a kid!! I dont even know what to say!! The picture says it all!!

He sure thought he was going to eat that whole bowl of watermelon.

Oops! Apparently I need to be faster at taking the picture. Oh well, it's kind of funny.

He looks pretty pleased with himself.

Griffiths Family Reunion

What a goofball.

Grandpa Reed was playing the harmonica for Jaxon and he loved it!!

This face is just to dang funny!! He was fascinated with the camp fire.

Softest bed in the house. I think he looks pretty cozy.

Firework Fun

We did not do to much this year for the 4th. That morning we went and played at the park with our friends and had a litttle picnic and Josh played some softball. We were going to go to the Crusie-In but our little man was quite grumpy. So we came home and had a firework show in our driveway during daylight so Jaxon could see them before he went to bed. It was a very fun day.

Jaxon helping dad pick what fireworks to light.

He thought the smoke balls were the coolest. He would take one out of the bag and hand it to dad. What a good helper!!

Crawling around on the cement. I bet that that felt really good.

Dad showin off his sparkler.

Jaxon was not so sure about these. He held it once and then realized that the sparks were getting closer and he kind of freaked out.
