Why I Love My Job!

This is one of the many reasons I love my job..... Check out my makeover! One day after school Trina actually let me do her hair and makeup! She looked beautiful... Then she insisted that I let her do my hair and makeup. I figured it was only fair. And what the heck, it's washable right??? This is how HOT I looked after she was done with me! Nice!

Jaxon Turns One!

On October 7th Jaxon turned a year old! I made red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and let him have a giant one all by himself.... To my disappointment, he didn't make that big of a mess. Why does that always happen? I think he was tired. We had a fun day of playing at the park and going to lunch and getting shots at the doctor..... It was a long day. But we had our own little family celebration on his actual birthday. Brian got him a baseball mitt and a little push motorcycle. Of course I got him clothes. He says "Ball" and sometimes "Mama" "Dada" and "Lolan" (Logan). He has climbed on top of our kitchen table and fallen off, probably more than once, and mastered going up AND down the stairs by himself within the forst 2 days of living in our house!. This little boy is so agile, I will be shocked if he doesn't play sports! He's full of life and we love him!

Frog and Lizard 911

One lovely day back in the apartment..... that seems so long ago.... Emily came over for a pizza day. The kids were playing, we were eating our pizza and drinking Wild Cherry Pepsi and Logan tells me he needs to go poop. So he goes to the bathroom. He usually takes a while, because it takes him some time to wipe his butt, and gget his pants back on and wash his hands. Well, more than a while had gone by and Em says, "Uh, is Logan still in the bathroom?" Oh no..... yes he was. I run in there only to see Logan, half naked, filling the Frog/Lizard cage with water. The poor frog was clinging to the sides of the cage, close to the top, and the lizard was completely on the lid of the cage (inside, duh).
I literally about have a panic attack for 2 reasons: 1: I know I'm NOT going to touch either the frog or the lizard to get them out of there. and 2: WHAT IF THEY DIE????
Yes, I was freaking out. I actually like the frog. I think he's cute. I still don't want to touch him, but I don't want him to die either! I really didn't want these little guys to drown! So in a panic, I call Brian, completely frantic on the phone. The first thing I said was, "Oh my gosh, we have a problem!" (This whole time I'm screaming to Emily too and and saying I don't know what to do!!!) Before I get to the whole story of what happened to the pets he asks me..... "Wait a minute, so where are the kids? Are the kids okay?" And of course I respond, "Ya of course they're okay....." Then he says, "Oh my gosh I could strangle you right now, you had me running out to my car, heading home..." He thought the kids drowned in the bath tub or something. Ya, I was freaking out that bad! I told him the whole story, and he said they would be fine. Just to unplug everything and wait until he got home. Crisis solved. And I didn't even have to touch them! Ya, it was funny. They all lived happily ever after.I think the frog actually enjoyed the bath time.

Logan's Hair cut.

This tells you how long ago this was..... Logan got a hair cut in this picture, and already needs another haircut! I think this was in August maybe. He's just too cute, I couldn't resist posting.

Catching up!

I have been HORRIBLE with blogging lately..... so here are some things that we have been up to. And I apologize for the quality of the pictures. They are all from my phone camera. Anywho, better than nothing right! Okay, here goes.



Summertime was fun this year with two crazy boys!
Most days they ended up in their undies outside at my parent's house, playing with the water. They love to help my parents water their trees! It's really cute. Logan likes the water so much he actually turned on the hose today, and soaked himself and Carson! Ya, not so fun in 60 degree weather! He told me he was sorry, and that he wouldn't do it again....... we'll see how long that lasts.

Happy Halloween

Okay, so I know I have been Queen of Lame with blogging lately..... I don't even know why. Well, here are a few things that have happened recently. Jaxon turned 1!!! I can't believe he's already a year old. He is so happy, and such a happy mischievous boy. We love him dearly. He loves to say GO and BALL and sometimes mama and dada... not very often though, and with much coaxing. He loves to play with Logan, climbs up and down the stairs completely by himself, and is so independent. Except when he wants his momma. He's such a crack up, and we just adore him. When I
think of Jaxon I think YELLOW.... because he's just sunshine when he's happy, such a light in my life! I wouldn't trade him for anything!

Logan has been loving our new house, and walks with Madi. He also recently told me that Carson and Trina are his best Friends..... His newest thing is he wants to have a sleepover with Carson.... Where did he even get that idea from? I have no idea. I have never even mentioned it to him, and didn't think he knew what a sleepover was. He asks to play and go for a walk with Madi every day. He (and me too) is sooo lucky to have such great friends and family!

Brian finished his first two MBA courses, and did really well... an A and a B!! He's on his way to success! He is super helpful, and cherishes every minute he gets with the boys, well and me too.

I have been doing a lot of sewing lately. I partially made the boys costumes, and I've been working on a project for Heather's friend who is having a baby! And I've just been lazy and busy all at the same time!

The picture is from Brian's work Halloween party. I didn't take any pics myself, but I think Em and Heather took some, so I'll have to get their pics to show you how cute the boys were for Halloween. They were adorable!

Home Sweet Home

I am so happy right now. I LOVE my new home. The boys are both over their illnesses, and we're all ecstatic about our new house. Every time we drive in the garage, Logan says, "Mommy look at our new dodge (garage)!" The boys love it, I love it, and Brian loves it. We went to our new ward today,okay only to sacrament meeting..... we had Trina with us, so that was interesting, but so many people said hello to us. I finally feel like I'm home. We have been busy decorating, and getting situated, and now I'm just soaking it all in. I am so blessed! We have jobs, healthy boys, each other, and now we have a home. It's more than I could have dreamed of..... I know that sounds lame but it's such a difference moving from an apartment to a house! And I love the neighborhood, and going for walks. I love having space for entertaining and having friends/family/nephews over! It's the best ever!
