Mom and Jax

Here are some pictures of me and jaxton that travis took. Dont pay attention to how chubby I am lol its been a very sugar filled holiday.

Typical Day

I just want everyone to see what a typical logan day is 6 months out of the year. ok its not always like this but it is half the time. I dnt know if you can tell but it is snowing really heavy in thse photos. I took these pictures christmas eve and it hasnt stopped since we've gotten about 9 inches this past week NO LIE. Lets just say im trying to stay like a bear and hybernate but i guess i gotta go out there some time or another. wish me luck lol.

New bear toy

Jaxton just loves his new bear toy me and travis got him. He just loves it when i put him under it he starts kicking the ball by his feet and trying to grab the toys. he gets so excited when he gets the music to start playing and when the bear starts talking to him. Im glad we got this toy for him its an awesome distraction tool lol so i can get things done.

My christmas present...!

So for christmas travis bought us a king size temperpedic 4" pillow top mattress set. We didnt realize how big the bed was going to be until they dropped it off cuz it took me and travis about 2 hrs to get it set up. it took so long because we are using our queen size bed frame travis made for now just until he has a chance to make our king size log bed. The bed is so huge it barely fits in our room. we have like a 2 feet space between the wall and the bed around the whole bed. If i stand next to it it hits me at my bottom ribs i have to jump to get in at night lol. Also It was a nice surprise when christmas morning came because i already new about the bed so i figured i wasnt going to get anything that day but he surprised me with a brand new comforter set and new pillows. All in all it was a good christmas. hope yours was great too..!

Jax's 1st Christmas

Christmas morning at around 10 am we woke up to open presents. He wore his 1st christmas pjs so he was all ready lol. While opening jaxtons presents I took some pictures of him. He was so cute he didnt know what he was doing but it was still cute. Here are a few of the gifts he got. His list consists of an outfit from The Childrens Place, a Bumpo seat, a big bear toy that when he lies under it and kicks it it lights up, an elmo toy, a round light up ball that rolls to teach crawling, a Chicago Bears outfit (dads a HUGE fan), and a few other things but too much to mention.

Eating cereal...?

So last night I fed jaxton cereal for the first time. While he was eating it he seemed to really like it so i fed him the whole amount the doctor said to. Well later that night he started crying for no reason and had green poop(gross..!) and he just wouldnt sleep. So i've decided after talking to my mom that we're going to hold off the cereal for another week or so. He kept me up all night and I had no sleep so he will not be eating for a while. But here are some pics o him eating its so cute ;)

Merry Christmas...!

Tonight Travis decided to put a bow on Jaxton it was so funny to see him with this bow on his head. He must have thought it was pretty funny himself cuz he just started smiling and laughing. So here he is a present for everyone over the blog its jaxton and his cuteness lol...Merry Christmas...! ;)

Loves his high chair..!

So jaxton loves his high chair so much he loves it when I put him in there. Even though he isnt eating yet he still cant wait to go in there every day. Im thinking its because all his other toys are lay down toys so in the high chair he can sit up and look at everything. The attachable toy gets him so excited he just starts wiggling around and cooing. Thanks again mom we love you.

Finger sucker..?

Ok so jaxton has decided that when he wants something to suck on he starts to suck on his index finger, thats right I said index finger not his thumb. Its actually very funny to watch him go at it suckng away on his finger. Its the strangest thing I have seen him do so far it just comes to show that he is getting his own personality already.

Family photo

I didnt have time to get pictures done professionally so we just took a picture in front of our little baby tree so if you guys can give me addresses then I can send my christmas cards. Thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS...!

New hair cut, different angle.

So here is a couple different angles of my hair since the other ones didnt show the back angle or the front. What do you think of it I love it myself. Its late and my hair is kinda messy so its not the cutest it could be but you get the idea.

Jaxtons cute outfit..!

This is the cute outfit I put him in today the jacket is my favorite. He looks like a little grown up I just love it...! He wasnt a happy camper when i took the pctures so he looks a little sad in them. Travis was a cutie today too so I took a picture of my 2 favorite boys..!

Today I cleaned out jaxtons room which over time since he's been born turned into a junk room with huge piles of stuff scattered here and there. It took me like 4 hrs but I did it I organized his room to be used for him. The reason why I did it is because im starting to finally get him in a sleep/nap schedule so i need the space used for that purpose. So here are a few pictures of every wall in his room. Unfortuately there are still areas of clutter but at least its organized clutter lol. But im glad to have a room I can call his now and I think it turned out looking pretty good if I do say so myself. ;)

Jax in his high chair...!

Today I had the day off so i put together jaxtons high chair cuz we will be introducing him to rice cerial soon and its important for him to have a routine such as eating in his high chair. I took pictures of the chair with all its different additions. Then I put him in it with the toy that comes with it and he got all excited and started grabbing for the buttons that light up. Thanks mom for getting it he just loves it...!

Early Christmas Presents

Here are some pictures of the gifts my family bought us for christmas. Thanks again guys we love the gifts...!

Family Photo

Last night my family came over to my house for dinner. They moved to st george today and it makes me sad I am the last one here but thats ok cuz we will see each other lots. But before they left we took a picture to remember the last time we will be living in logan together. Travis isnt in the picture cuz he was in bed already cuz he wakes up at 5 a.m. for work. I will miss them alot but i'll make sure we stay in contact frequently.

New Hair Cut...!

Ok so this morning I woke up and couldnt do anything with my hair so I decided to cut my hair. So its pretty different and drastic but I think I will warm up to it. One minute I love it then the next I freak out cuz its so different. Travis doesnt like it nor my mom. But tell me what you think and be honest...oh and I dont have makeup on so ignore my face lol...;)

My New Clock

Last Saturday I went with my mother in law and my 3 sisters in laws to a super saturday. For those who dont know what that is its when relief society gets a craft for everyone to come do 1 saturday a month and this one was making antique looking clocks. It was so much fun making my clock but it was also alot of work. I would be willing to make clocks for whoever wants one its pretty easy to make them and its alot of fun to do. So let me know if you want one it will cost you $35 which is a steal considering at Tia Pans they sell for over $60. Plus it can be personalized so it'll be special. If not just admire mine lol ;)

My Holiday Decorations..!

These are my holiday decorations i have there isnt much right now but hopefully more will come soon when i get a chance to go shopping this weekend. The wreath travis bought me at shop ko on sale tonight and he bought the tree while in st george last thanksgiving weekend. Its not very big but we only live in a small apt so a big tree would be silly. All the presents under the tree are for jaxton lol.

My early christmas gift..!

These are my early christmas presents from travis. While we were in st george visiting family for thanksgiving we went to the new Tia Pan Trading store (Which I love) and we got some decorations for our living room. I put everything together myself so i hope it looks cute to everyone else lol. What you cant see is the book shelf he got me its in our room.
