Christmas day

Here are some random pics from Christmas, everyone was spoiled at our house! We started out Christmas morning at my house with my mom, Dean, Heather, Kara, Cheri, Richard, and Nikki (Cheri's boyfriend and his brother) After Santa and presents we had breakfast. Then we played some more. In the afternoon we went to Kevin's parents and had dinner and more presents! It was a great day the only thing missing was Shauna and her family....we will be making up for this next year!!!

Family Traditions

Every year we start early on Christmas eve (day) out at Kevin's parents. We have lunch with more food than anyone could ever eat, then everyone hikes up the red knoll to build a huge star on top of the hill. After the star building we load up the horses and wagons and deliver food baskets to the elderly or widows in Redmond. We always have so much fun. It is nice to have big families on both sides. This is what Christmas is all about,


It was too cold for Jax and Slade, so we followed in my car.


We took two wagon this year, full of kids and gift baskets to deliver

Back to normal

It took exactly one week and the little man was back to normal! I am so glad it's all over. I have decided that he is truly the best baby ever. I posted this picture because he is so proud of his belly button! He always yells my name ''HEIDI'' and when I turn he lifts his shirt and says ''belly bunnon'' Only a mother would find this adorable.

How cute is this

This is my favorite before picture he is the sweetest little boy ever...

Into recovery

Jaxon was so good this early in the morning, as usual he was happy as could be. I felt so guilty taking him in for surgery when he was happy and having such a good day. I only got one after pic because he wanted nothing or nobody except me... It feels good to be loved even though I feel so bad for him. We just got home and he is sleeping, we have a long weekend ahead of us but everything went great!






This last one is a little blurry but he was not happy, so we had to hurry!

A little nervous

Unlike his mother Jaxon loves mornings. He wakes up every day laughing and ready to make messes. He loves to go to Lorie's because he can't wait to play with ''Daden'' aka Hagen :) He loves Hagen they are a few months apart and already best friends. I dropped him off today and Hagen was waiting, Jaxon pushed away from me and started taking off his coat. Today Jaxon brought a little truck with him so he turned to Hagen and said MINE...then Hagen looked at him also with a toy in his hand and said MINE then they both took off running to play. I yelled from the door and said ''bye Jax'' when he stopped and turned around, he peeked only his head around the corner and said ''Bye Bye'' then took off after Hagen. I left feeling a little nervous knowing that tomorrow morning will be allot different. Tomorrow the little man is getting his tonsils out. I know this is a simple procedure, but for some reason I just keep worrying. I keep telling myself this has been planned for the last 6 months, I've known all along we were doing this. However I am dreading tomorrow morning. Especially today, I can't quit thinking about it. He is so little, and yes I know he's the baby and we spoil him rotten but how could you not? He is so much fun. I will try to keep myself from worrying today and hope for the best tomorrow.

Decking the Halls

Finally some Christmas cheer...Brenna threatened me that if I did not get busy she was going to come over and deck my halls. I waited and waited and she never showed :) So I decided I better get busy. Now maybe next week I will start a Christmas list.







The kids had a blast even Landon joined in on the fun. Mason was so excited especially when we found his ornament from last year! It was a good idea to let Jaxon help, after the tree was finished he looked at it and said ''pretty lights'' Since then he has not touched it once.
