Makaylas 8 weeks old





Makayla is just getting so big..! She weighs in somewhere around 9 1/2 lbs. She loves to smile at people already and is so attached to her mommy :). She wants to be held all the time and has always been so alert. She has to be up and looking around at everything and everyone. She has been such a blessing to our family and couldnt see ourselves without her.

Dress up at Grandma Van Ordens

Last week friday me travis and jaxton went into town to run some errands. Travis decided that him and jaxton will just wait at his moms while I ran the errands cuz it would be easier since it was raining a bit. I was gone about 20 minutes and when I got back this is how I found jaxton. Travis's brother came over with his son and they got into playing dress up in all the old halloween costumes. Of course the boys wanted to be princesses with crowns but to make it alittle more boyish he put a pink zorro mask on lol. Jaxton is getting to be such a little character and I love seeing him grow up! I am so excited to see what else is in store. I love this little guy so much and cant wait to add one more to the bunch.
P.S. On a side note I am getting induced tomorrow morning (wed Nov 4th) so little makayla will be joining us very soon and I will update pictures as soon as I can. Wish us luck!

Big Boy Bed..!!!

So yesterday my mom and I went to logan and picked out jaxton's new big boy bed because its about time we are going to put the crib in makaylas room. He got to choose what bedding he got and he totally got excited over the cars one. All day we kept saying "Ok jaxton tonight your gonna be a big boy and sleep in your big boy bed" and he was so happy. That is until it got to be bedtime then he wasnt so sure about this. I landed up laying down next to him in that tiny bed until he fell asleep which wasnt easy my stomache took up the majority of the bed lol. He slept in there about 3/4 of the night but then woke up and wanted to come to mommys bed. I am so proud of him for doing so good and we are gonna continue until he gets used to it.

Beautiful Canyon

Travis and I went to Boise ID yesterday for an interview and we had to leave jaxton at home. On our way home we thought it would be nice to take the opportunity to spend some time alone together. He took me to see this canyon in twin falls but I cant remember what the name of it was. It was so amazing and beautiful and deep! I am scared of heights but it wasnt too bad lol. This canyon is where Evil canevil tried to jump but didnt make it and had to open his parachute. It was perfect weather and it was nice having that time to just talk and be with my hubby.




You probably cant tell but in the middle of the picture above the trees is a giant water fall called Shoshone Falls its bigger then the niagra falls. We were gonna go closer to it but you had to pay and it was getting too late so we decided not to.

A fun day at the park

Yesterday morning I decided to take jaxton to the park. He had so much fun going down all the slides. He would be so happy going down them all day long. He is so funny to watch cuz he runs around giggling the whole time. He sure wears me out but its so worth seeing his little grin! What a little studmyster!!!

Pictures of Jaxton

My friend Tiffany asked me if she could take some pictures of jaxton for practice to become a photographer. I was a little nervous cuz jaxton never sits still when I want to take his picture but suprisingly enough he did really well. He listened for the most part and he sat long enough to get these great shots. I think tiff did a great job and jaxton was such a champ!
(And for those who havent seen him this is his new haircut!!)

Jaxton on his 4 wheeler and some sad news!

This is a 4 wheeler travis and his brother used to play on on when they were younger and now its being passed down to jaxton..! He has so much fun riding it especially with daddy :)
Here he is all by himself he just like to sit on it when travis isnt taking him for rides!

My precious little Bruiser got ran over last friday and sadly didnt make it. He was just trying to cross the road to get back home after investigating a dead bird in the ditch when a car hit him. Where as he was only 4 lbs he was killed instintly. I miss him terrably and have cried till i have no more tears but I know he is in a better place able to chase all the birds he wants. We love you Bruiser and I hope you had as much fun with us as we did with you in your short time here on earth..Until we meet again.

Valentines day present and jaxtons hair before the butcher :)

This is my valentines day present. It came at a surprise because travis made me believe that he really wasnt going to get me anything. We came home late on the 13th and I walked in to this on my kitchen counter. What a cute husband I have :) He got me my mixer that I have been dying to get, a dozen roses, 2 bags of my favorite candy and a bag of jerky (thats more for him lol). Thank you honey for the gifts your the best :)

This is jaxtons hair before travis cut it he just woke up so his hair was a little crazy looking. Also you can notice how messy he gets when he feeds himself :)

Jaxton's new Haircut


Travis tried cutting jaxton's hair the other day while I was at work. Of course he waited until I was gone to do it because I wouldnt let him touch my cute little boys curls..! I was so upset when I saw what he did to his hair I started crying! Lets just say they were long enough to be in his eyes which is what prompted travis to cut it in the first place. I was so attached to his curls but if he didnt do it then I dont know if I ever would have cut it lol. I had to go get it recut by a professional the next day and I will be posting his after haircut soon its not much different she just trimmed it and evened it out alittle cuz I cant part with those curls quite yet :)

New update :)


They have these funny little seats in the bathroom at the mall where you can put your kids in while you use the facility :) I put jaxton in it and he just thought it was so fun to be in there. Its so convienent im glad they invented those lol..!



Jaxton has had a lot of things going on lately. The other day he went into his room and turned on the radio and when I went in there to see what he was doing he broke into a funny little dance. he was so cute I couldnt be mad at him lol. Also he went to the dentist last thursday for the first time..! I dont have pictures because I was sitting next to him holding his hands since he wanted to touch the dentists tools lol. He was such a trooper though he didnt cry while the dentist looked around his mouth he only cried when they cleaned his teeth cuz it looked like it hurt! He said his teeth look great and healthy :)

Little funny Jaxton :) He's getting so big..!

Jaxton stole my bag of doritos out of his diaper bag and got up on our recliner all by himself and this is how I found him just hanging out watching t.v. what a funny little dude..!



This is what happens when jaxton has too much time on his hands lol he finds new places to hide. :)



Jaxton just loves trying on everyones shoes and wearing them around the house. He trys to walk in my shoes but they are too hard so my slippers are light enought that he can go anywhere in them. He is so hilarious sometimes. It cracks me up..!
