Jaxon in the drawer

Noah put Jaxon to bed while I was working out. I went to check on him before hopping in the shower. I popped my head in his room and found him asleep in his dresser drawer. At least it's the drawer of extra bedding. I had to take a couple pictures before moving him back to his bed. He is such a funny boy!

Sickness, birthday, father's day

So while we were in Utah I noticed Jaxon was getting sick. He just didn't seem like himself and was sleeping way more than usual. A couple days after we got back to Twin Falls, he still was not feeling better. He pretty much just wanted to lay on me or this giant teddy bear.
I found a pediatrician in town and brought Jaxon in. He had his first ear infection since getting tubes put in his ears in January. Then the sickness went around our house. It was not very fun. We spent a lot of time watching movies and didn't get out much. Savannah rarely gets sick. She spent a lot of time doing crafts, playing games on the computer and playing dress ups.


Luckily whatever sickness that spread around our house didn't hit Noah and I until after my birthday because we were asked to speak in church. Church at 8am is not fun, but speaking that early with sick kids and on your birthday, makes the whole thing a lot less fun. The rest of the day was filled with a couple phone calls, folding laundry, making lunch and dinner and feeling a little sorry for myself so I made some brownies and had Savannah sing happy birthday to me. Lets hope next year is better.


After a week of being sick we finally got out on Friday night and took the kids to the drive-in. We didn't get home until 1:30, but we had fun cuddling up in the car watching "Mars needs Moms" and the new Pirates movie.


Savannah was very excited for Father's Day and loved making a few things for Noah. We had a very relaxed day with yummy dinner and treats and luckily the kids were happy and had a lot of fun playing with Noah. He is such a great dad!

Weekend in Utah

Last week my sister sent me an e-vite to my nephew Kaden's baptism. I wasn't sure we would be able to get down there, but I am glad we did. Noah had to work, so it was just the kids and I. We drove down Friday morning and met my Mom in West Jordan for her work bbq. The kids had a great time on the awesome playground there before we headed down to Provo.

Saturday we went to Kaden's baptism and spent the rest of the day with my sister's family. I love this kid and I am so proud of him!


The rest of our trip was filled with time relaxing outside,


relaxing inside,


giant bubble baths,


Jaxon saying "hello" to everything in sight,


time with grandma,


time with grandpa,


and lots of chasing the cats.


We had a great time and were sad to go on Monday. We made it home just in time before Jaxon became more sick and miserable.
