RSV!

Jaxon got sick about a month ago. He wasn't getting any better so we took him to the doctor. The doctor took a sample of Jaxon's snot and sent it into the lab. Test results came back and he had RSV. RSV is a virus that goes around at a certain time of year that affects the baby's lungs, so they have a hard time breathing and stuff. Well for about a week and a half we had to give him treatments about 4 times a day. Now I am excited to say he has fully recovered and is healthy again!

Cameron's New Room!

My brother was chosen at the hospital to get a room make over from Room For Joy. They sent him and my mom away for the weekend so they could get to work. The people gave Cameron and my mom a place to stay and tons of gift card to keep themselves busy. I don't have before pictures which I wish I did. The transformations these people did on his room are amazing! Here are just a few pictures of the new room. Oh, my camera died so I didn't even get the picture of his closet, that they completely changed to look like an elevator! CRAZY!

The buildings were made out of carpet!

This is one whole wall! Someone hand painted this entire thing!

Pinewood Derby!

So I kind of failed to mention that I was called to be a Scouts leader for my church. I have been in it for about a month and I love it! Here are some pictures from the Pinewood Derby last week.

Jaxon loved when the cars went down the track.

Valentines Day!

So Jared decided to celebrate Valentines this year. I wasn't expecting anything big or romantic, but boy was I wrong. We had gone to this swap meet two weekends ago and when we were there I had found the most dreamy purse ever! He remembered that so this pass weekend he took me back there and let me get the purse! We also went to our ward Valentines party which couldn't be more cheesey. There was candle light dinner with Italian music playing and a really nice dinner served of spaghetti. We then were chosen to play a newly wed game with a few other couples. Yes, we did get last place, but hey it doesn't mean we aren't meant for each other. It just means we need to communicate more :). So anyways then there was slow dancing after wards which Jared doesn't do, so we just kind of goofed around on the dance floor. Then on Monday he took me to see the Valentines movie, I loved it! Thanks to my wonderful, sweet husband this Valentines weekend was amazing!

IMPLANT!!!

So I got such great advice from people about ways I can keep myself busy being a stay at home mom, that I just need to ask for more advice. When I was about 7 years old I ended up cracking one of my back teeth. The tooth ended up with a cavity on it and as time went on got worse. When I got old enough to take care of my own needs I had a really good job with great benefits, so I decided to take care of that roughen tooth. The dentist gave me two options, one he can do a root canal on it but a few years down the road it will just get bad again OR he could just remove it and I can get an implant later. He did informed me that option two would be costly, but I went for it anyways. I got the tooth removed and then time past and I got married and then a precious baby boy came along. I chose to quit my job that I was at for 3 years and become a full time mommy. With quitting the job that meant no more insurance for me, but I was ok with that. Until I realized I really needed that implant. With insurance the implant would have been about 1,000 dollars. I called today to get the price on implants without insurance and guess what it was 4,180 dollars!!! So my advice I would like to get from all of you is what are ways that I could earn that much money in a year without getting a full time job? I already do preschool but that only gets me $200 a month. So please, please anyone with advice please hit me up. Thanks! And if any of you are wondering why in the world I am going to get the implant here is why. My teeth will eventually start to shift to close in the hole and my teeth that were once in the back will be in the front. That would not be a pretty site.

Stay at home mom's! I need Advice!

Please tell me what in the world you do at home. I feel like there are days where I have nothing to do I am so bored, I want to go crazy! I just always like to have something to do, I am out of ideas. So if you can please tell me what a few things are that you do being a stay at home mom I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you!

Jaxon's First Christmas!

My handsome man!

Crawling!!!

Yes it is true, my little man is crawling! He is 7 months today and has been crawling for about 2 weeks. It has been a real adventure with him. People are not kidding when they say mom's need eyes in the back of there heads. I turn around for a few seconds and I hear BANG and then a cry, or CRASH and another cry. This kid gets into everything and somehow always finds a way to hurt himself. Jaxon loves to follow me into whatever room I go to. Even the bathroom when I am on the toilet, he crawls right in there and sits right by my feet and stares at me while I go. Seriously no respect or privacy. Forget him going in the kitchen or the bathrooms anymore, he always slips and bangs his head right on the tile. MY GOODNESS! His favorite thing is to pull all the cd's out of the stand and spread them all over the floor. When everyone said I need to baby proof my house I didn't know that meant you have to hang everything from the celling to keep them from getting into it. All in all though I am glad Jaxon is crawling, he seems to be happier and having a lot more fun. I love him so much and I wouldn't trade him for anything.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Today is mine and Jared's 2nd anniversary. Unfortunately he is sick in bed. The past two years of my life have been the best two years ever! I meant a wonderful guy that is kind, sweet, loving, caring, hard working, family man, amazing father and husband and who is a worthy priesthood holder. That guy is my husband, how did I get so lucky. I wanted to express my love and appreciation to Jared and say, happy anniversary babe! I LOVE YOU! Still in love after all this...

Jaxon's First Halloween!

Who do you want to call? Ghost Busters!!! Look how creative Jared is. He throw our costumes together in 20 mins. Jaxon was our little ghost.

Grandpa Halbert bought Jaxon this pumpkin costume when he found out I was pregnant. We had him wear this for Jared's parents ward Halloween party. He looked so cute in it!

Rice Cereal!

Jaxon has been on rice cereal for a few weeks now. I did not realize how messy it can be. My little boy is growing up so fast!

Prescott!

For Labor Day Jared and I decided to take a day trip to Prescott with some awesome friends of ours, the Greenhalgh's and the Turley's. Eric Greenhalgh is a great photographer so we asked him to take some family photos for us while we were up there. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them. Prescott is a really nice place to go to get out of the heat and it is only an hour and a half away! Thanks Eric for these wonderful photos they turned out great!

I took this one.

Jared took this one.

Jared Passion!

Jared decided to set up a little studio type thing in our living/dinning room the other day just for kicks. Considering how small our house is I was not to thrilled about it. I am glad I let him give it a try before I made him take it down though, because this is what we got out of it...

Jax to the Max

I can't count the number of times I hear, "your baby is so cute". This post goes out to Jaxon. We have been blessed with not only a cute son, but a good son as well. He can go days without a bath (like his daddy) and still not complain. He can have spit up all over his body and still be smiling. What a great baby. As we are in the most random places, cities, stores people stop and look at the little dude. We are proud parents. Needless to say, all parents probably say the same thing about their own children. Even if he was ugly, he would be cute in our eyes and of course in Gods eyes.

Beating the Heat!
