Move on over EVIL KNIEVEL!!
Austin bought this little snowmachine for the kids!!
Is anyone else worried??? They sure do love it though!!!
Austin's philosophy: "You've got to start them while they're young!!"

{Master Bathroom: The Big Reveal}

I am FINALLY getting around to posting some pics of our house!! This is by far our favorite and most used room in the house!! There are a few final touches left but let me know what you think! And of course it is not yet DECORATED :).......









There are 2 more posts after this so be sure to scroll down!! More pics of the house to come!!

{Jaxton @ 6 weeks}

I just can't stop taking pictures of this little guy!
He is such a joy!

This is Jaxton all dressed up for church. We couldn't get him to wake up for nothin' and he made it through 3 hours of church without eating!! :)



He loves looking at the rope lighting in our bedroom at night and last night he was loving it!!



And again...sleeping. I'm cherishing these moments for sure!

{Sledding}

This past week Austin took us all sledding on the flats.
The kids had a blast and yes, we took the whole fam(including Jaxton) and some friends!!
Austin and his new snowmobile. His broken foot miracuously felt great that day! :)
Kaydree and her friend Hayley
Brayden
Jaxton. It was quite a trick trying to snowmobile while holding him in his car seat. He didn't seem to mind the cold(freeze) one bit. :)

{1 Month Old}

On Sunday, Jaxton turned 1 month!!

Because time flies I've decided to capture his milestones:
  • He weighs 10 pounds(58%tile) and is 21 3/4 inches long
  • Loves to be held
  • Lifts and holds his head up
  • LOVES tummy time and sleeping on tummy for naps
  • Loves to smile
  • Does not like to be naked or have his diaper changed
  • Can sleep through ANYTHING when actually asleep(is awake a lot more often) :)
  • Has kept his tan(olive) appearance :)

Jaxton has been such a good baby and a great addition to our family!!

{PICS of baby Jaxton and NEVER a dull moment!}

I know, I know.
It's been forever and a half since I've posted anything. Here are my reasons/excuses why:
1. I am in total/absolute love with this little boy!!
These beautiful pics were taken of the kiddos by my close friend Noelle when Jaxton was 2
weeks.





2. I've been spending more of my time with the kids and helping them adjust to having a new brother in the house.
They seem to still love him and he's still alive so we must be doing something right. :)
3. My mom came to stay and help out for a week.
We did some much needed outings and she helped out a WHOLE lot! :)
4. Mr. Accident (AKA Austin) decided he needed some attention and broke his foot snowmaching last week!
Our friend helped me out by carrying him out to the car. He can't walk on it or nothing for 6-8 weeks. We'll find out about surgery or not next week... He's always breaking something!!

5. I've managed to get out quite a bit now. It feels great!!
I haven't had any pain so far....and couldn't feel better!!! Kaydree and Jaxton looked thrilled to take this pic!! :)


6. Jaxton's the cutest thing ever and is growing up too fast!!
He loves to be held, can lift his up his head on his own, loves to lay and sleep on his tummy during the day, loves to look at lights, can track and follow mommy's voice....
and loves bath time now(minus before and after)!!!

7. We added 2 more to the family!!!
Meet Princess(Kaydree's)
and Waffles(Brayden's)!!!
They are a little over a week old. The kids love them and get to bottle feed them. Let's hope the fun doesn't fade!! :)
Hopefully I'll be better at posting and will get some pics up of the house!!!

{Surviving Baby's First Week and 100th Post!!}

I can officially say that we've made it through the 1st week!!
Jaxton has been such a huge blessing to our family. He's been an extremely good baby and is really content until he's either hungry or getting his diaper changed. He even slept for 5 1/2 hours straight last night!! Oh, I just love him to pieces!
This was taken @ 3 days old!
Thanks for the hand mittens Noelle!!
His cute, teensy feet
He really is a little guy...just look @ his tiny fingers
And bath time......definitely not his favorite :)
And I couldn't resist taking these.
The poutsy face.......
The thankful/traumatized face....
I gladly took on the task of staying at home by myself this week with the kids. We had a great time....now if only I could feel that way about going out into public. :) One night the kids were playing down in the basement and they were unusally quiet. This is what I found.........they had gotten into a dust/dirt pile in the mechanical room and found it to be quite pleasurable. A friend of mine gave me advice to take pics whenever something happens like this so instead of having an emotional melt down I can laugh about it instead. I'm still laughing too!!
And last night......"I'm so glad when daddy gets home...."
We are now onto the task of finishing up the last on our house and I'm onto the role of decorating and unpacking. I'll post pics soon of the finished product!! And horray for my 100th post!!!
