End of May Wrap-up

I haven't done a post it a LONG time, so here is some catch-up...

Jax makes a beautiful ballerina. 

 

The only "cart" I can get them to satay in...

We had a bridal shower for our new  DOLL of a sister Jerica Jane. A complete doll. We LOVE her. MUCH. I'm trying to remember what we ate...I think it was panini's, and--boy, were they good...

  

For Memorial day my mom made a full pancake breakfast for anyone and everyone at her house--it was SOOO good! Then we all went to the cemetery. It was very hard to answer Jaxton's questions about what a cemetery  is, and why people are under the ground.  I'm so thankful we haven't ever HAD to explain it--I'm so thankful for my family.

 

And Isaac graduated!! What a peach!! We LOVE Isaac!! And we are so excited to see what he will do next...!! :)

 The last weekend in May, me and Chanel and my mom went to Jaron's beautiful wedding in the Las Vegas temple. It was very nice. 

 I love my Grandparents!!

 On the way to Vegas our Grandparents in St. George were so nice (always) and let us stay with them.  So we only ended up in a Hotel for one night (bunked with some awesome cousins, grandparents and uncle) and saw a few sights of Las Vegas before we went home. Mostly we saw this HUGE mall, which is what I have pictures of. We all got little makeovers and water bottles at this event MAC was doing. And we ate at Cheesecake Factory. Loved being with everyone and spending time with my mom and sister!! 

 

The mall was seriously out of control...

And lets not forget that Justin was home with the littles' while I was away, way to hold down the fort Justin!

And that is the end of May.

Rodrik had a Birthday!

Rod ha a Birthday in May. That was about 3 months ago. Here is the documentation. Lot's of pictures--the one below is the ONLY one of Rod smiling.  Isn't he beautiful?!

 Here he is the morning of, I got him that balloon on a stick because I knew he would love it, and he really did.

We had our family over to celebrate. Much the same as Jaxton's birthday except Rod wasn't as obliging at any point during the party/ day/ year. In any sense of the word. ;) Rod was just Rod, even on his birthday with all his favorite people, activities, popsicles and presents. :) Kinda a lot of ornery.

    

 Luckily all the fam still loves him. :)

See! :) 

All Rod wanted to do was squirt people in the face. :)

We had the pool out and the sprinklers under the tramp, we also did races. Rod LOVES to run. LOVES to "race"..and I use that word loosely. But he actually has gotten pretty dang fast just because he practices all. the. time.

              He is a Running Machine!!

And bless his cute little 2 yr old  heart, even when we brought out the cake and presents he was ornery. (There was a lot of eye-rolling by me) I tried to get a picture with him by his "cake" and this is the best I got--we had to actually bring the cake to him--he wouldn't come close. We had cup cakes and popsicles for his birthday.

   

  He had this occasional flint of a smile--I captured it below. It was generally when opening a present...;)

 This is the Wolverine Monster Truck--it's a pretty BIG deal around these parts.

 A Lightning McQueen that blows bubbles!! Happy day!

 This soccer ball and the Superman outfit were courtesy of Brooke and Tasha, he LOVED them, in case you can't tell.

He loved looking at his reflection in the glass.

 A scooter from his Gause Grandparents--he LOVED it!

    

    

I also always fail to mention that at every birthday, without fail, Rod and Jax ALWAYS get a card from their Great Grandparents Haight and Gause. It's such a sweet gesture and the boys ALWAYS love it. I wish I would have thought to take a picture of them with their cards. Booh.:(
Anyway,
We got Rod this water thing, which he opened after his nap, after the party.

 I forced him to hug me and love me. I love his face in this picture! :)

        

I think he liked the whole day fairly okay. Probably a 5 on a scale from 1-10. But who knows. :)

I love him so much regardless.
