Picture to brighten your day.

This kid is so cute it kills me. :)

the thermals that were only worn once...

Got these thermals at the dollar store--"1T" in size, 1$. Came home and put them on the boy, and lets just say it was a tight squeeze. But i love this picture of Justin and Jax. And i love being able to see Jax's fatty patty!! :)

Haha, look how we couldn't even pull them up over his bum...they were pretty tight.

One of my favorite things is putting Jax in tight clothing. But don't worry, this was only put on him once. :)

Remember this?...

Remember how i never posted picture of Jax in his knit suite?? I found some and here they are...okay and really, is it not the cutest thing you've ever seen?! The hat is just too much. :)

I LOVE this baby!!

This is a super cute video of Jaxton eating and laughing. The funny part is that for some reason he wont close his mouth at any point when he laughs, so all his food comes out... :) well, i think it's funny. Actually, that video was too big... dang it. So here is a different one.
Jax gets really intense when it comes to soft things, he loves them in his mouth and all over his face, it's really cute. He'll do this with blankets, soft pants --- you get the idea. This particular softy is a parrot puppet aunt Tash gave him for Christmas--he LOVES it in his face, hard. :) ps. he starts to get really intense at the end, then my camera died. :(

FYI for me: Jax is 8 months old, and feels like a sack of flour. So as you might guess he eats quite a bit. At LEAST the equivalant of 2 baby food jars in one sitting. Food at 8am, 5 oz. bottle at 10am, food at 12pm, 6 oz. bottle at 3pm, food at 5pm, 6oz. bottle at 8pm. Just for my information.
This kid is getting a big personality. :) It's so fun to interact with him, he is SO funny sometimes, a real big whiner, but also really jolly and excitable. We think he is the BEST!! :)

Sledding on New Years

My mom's side of the fam went sledding in SLC on New Years--It was VERY fun. These picts are only of the semi-lame hill we were on when we started. After about 15min of this we decided to go hard core and went to a AWSOME hill about 15 minutes away. Sadly i didn't take any pictrues of the really cool sledding at the second location.
Afterward we all had chili and chips on the side of the road.
It was a BLAST and i'm sad i don't have more pictures as proof. :)
P.S. That first hill, can i just say, I've never seen so many people with loose dogs in one location contradicting the multiple signs posted "keep your dog on a leash" and "please pick up after your pet". The dog poo was EVERYWHERE! Another reason we left.
I HATE DOGS. ESPECIALLY dogs that aren't on leashes and poop where you can step on it. I HATE DOG OWNERS that let their dogs do either listed above. I cant tell you how upset the situation makes me. done venting. for now.

You cant really tell but jax looked A LOT like "Randy" off of a Christmas Story. He could barely put his arms down, it was making everyone laugh. :)

I took Jax down a few times becuase this first location was pretty tame. He didn't really seem to care. This is uncle Isaac helping him up--you can kind of see jax's stiffness in this one. :)

My uncle Gord and cousin Russel. I think Gords stomach was a little sore after this one. :)
Cutie Chanel!

This was a mountain man we meet on the slopes.

Uncle Isaac taking jax down. Like I said Jax doesn't seem to care.

CUTE!

Chewin some jerky in the car. I NEED to get him jerky more often--keeps him entertained for quite a while. :)

Jax sitting with Grama Haight--courtesy Gords Blackberry.


This is a silly video we took of Jax going down "by himself"...don't get your hopes up--not too exciting. Jax pretty un-impressed. Shoulda sent him down a bigger one. :)

Back-track for a sec...

Justin's Birthday was on December 17th. I did a "surprise" wii birthday party for him, invited the fam. It was SO fun, and Justin was very surprised and LOVED it. We had a wii tornament, which included EVERYONE (moms and dad included--best part was when my mom and justin's mom went at it in boxing...why didn't i record that??? Justin's favorite snacks ie: sausage/meat log, crackers, laughing cow cheese, bean dip, soda (not a usual at our house--but he loves it), artichoke dip, vegi tray, blah blah blah. etc.

Bottom line: SO fun. needs to be bl0ged into my memory. :)

This is Jusin's first present before the party--he still didn't know there was one...i'm killing time.

And this is how much he loved it, touchdown for Tawny. (note the decor in the background--it looked sweet, and he had no idea. :)

This is the "birthday cake" Justin wanted, fruit pizza. i made two. Time consuming but AMAZING.

Look at our WONDERFUL family! they were all VERY good sports and participated and were their amazing selfs the whole night. love them!!

Now for the presents--Jusin was showered. Like tons of presents.
Oh what a cute vest! And what a cute blonde back of the head!

Ya! Shaving creme and lotion, the high class kind. :)

Thanks for the Jeans Debbie!

Mother-in-law gift, what could this be??

JUST what he's always wanted!! (i'm not being sarcastic.)

He has most of his presents on here. (new tees too.)

It was a GREAT birthday if i do say so myself.
Thanks to everyone who came and made the night great and spoiled my husband! :)

Really...??

Yes, really.

Honestly folks, fat free, 5 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein in 1/2 cup.
AND it's not GROSS!

I had me a cup and a half for lunch.
Probably not the best choice for lunch, but dude, it's not THAT bad. :)

On a related note... I just started "Chalean Extreme". It's like a killer 3 month workout thing. VERY "Extreme". I'm going to loose tons of weight. :) I did it this morning and was pretty sure i was on the verge of death. I'm posting this so that i know you know, therefore i will be held somewhat accountable in my mind and wont sissy out. Get ready world here i come.
Pray for me. :)

Christmas Cheer.

Christmas Party in Tooele+ Family= Yummyness and fun. (Yummyness from the food and the babies:)

I think Jax might have been the most festive one there... Aside from me in my green shirt that is...:)

Below: A not-so-happy but super cute Santa.

I really need to be better about taking pictures, this is all i have of the whole party. :( i'll work on that...

Yay for Christmas!

I love Christmas. I'm bummed it's over.

We went to Justin's parents in the morning hours and mine in the afternoon.
Oh, and get this,
Our car, (our "good", "new" (okay, really a 97) car that we just paid it off 2 weeks ago) broke down on the freeway on-ramp Christmas morning. Dead serious. Like broke down, broke down, like, need a new transmission broke down. It was like we were in one of those movies. We were towed back to our house (BIG thanks to Justin's dad for doing the tow, ooh but i HATE being towed, it scare's the --- out of me) and we loaded up in the 93 Nissan who's "check engine" light had just come on 2 days before, and just a side note, part of the muffler is missing it sounds like your a race car though you accelerate at turtle pace. I know some people pay to have that kind of thing done, but really, you can barely hear someone shouting when that car is on. We know how to pick em. It was awesome. Honestly, at least the heater worked. Anyway, it was all soon forgotten with tons of food, family, and presents; in that order. :) We are SO blessed and spoiled.
We love Christmas and have the pictures to prove it!

To view in Chronological Order, start at the bottom and move to the top...I hate that the pictures load backwards, i cant think that way.

This was from my mom, Jax thinks it's super rad.

This is a pict of Mairee, my cutie little niece with her mama wearing the darling outfit we gave her. yessss.

Jax with one of the puppets he got from my sister Tash, he really thought these were funny.

Op, now who are these to engaged people?? Way to go Zach!

This is my cutie nephew Max who was DEAD SERIOUS about his new gun. :)

These are the blocks Justin's mom (Debbie) got for jax, he really seemed to think these were quite the coolness. Totally loved them.

Justin's grandma reading Jax a book Debbie got him, he loved the babies in the book. Loved the book in general. :)

This is funny, look at these picts of Jax with his cutie little cousins on the Gause side, i was laughing while taking these pictures. They are all so cute!
I know these pictures are too small, i don't want to reload because this post has taken me WAY to long. grrr. Just scoot closer to the computer.

Us in the morning at the Gause's. Yes i know we look a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

This is Jax's present from us! Well his sweet Aunt Brooke thought of it too, so he really got one from them and one from us. I'm not going to say which one we're taking back. :)

Ya, he thought it was pretty cool.

Jaxton's true favorite part of Christmas...The wrapping!!

Look, he's so dazed by it all, so overwhelmed. :)
He LOVED this box.

Yes, here he is praying for even more wrapping paper. He just can't get enough. :)

This is Jax opening his very first present from Grandma Wing. :)

Yay for Christmas!
I think i can speak for Jax, me, and Justin when i say that except for the 45 minute scream attack because of a nap un-taken, Christmas was the bomb!! :) We LOVE being with our Families! What a fun Holiday.

PS. Talked to Elder Judkins for about and Hour and a Half.
Oh we just LOVE that kid!!

Another PS. Below is the coolness Justin and I got, among other things, guess who got what... :)

Pretty cool. Pretty DARN cool.
