New update!!!

Ok so i totally know this is long overdue but it has definitely been a crazy couple months. Our 4th of july was great and very relaxing we didnt go anywhere exciting we just stayed local and loved it! We went to the cruise in (pictures will come later) and shot fireworks off at home. Little makayla is 8 months old already I just cant believe my little baby is so big already!! She started saying da da yesterday it is too cute and wants to walk so so bad!! Jaxton is only 2 months from being 3 yrs old!! That is just the craziest thing ever to me. He is just my big helper and wants to be so independent already! He loves his daddy and wants to go fishing allll the time it has to be his most favorite thing to do! He is actually very good he has caught something every time they have gone. The first time he caught this little baby fish that wasnt longer then 3 or 4 in but he was so excited he held it and called it his baby fish. The next time he caught like an 8 in fish but that scared him it was a little too big for his liking what a nut lol. I cant believe these guys are growing so fast its bitter sweet! Now on to me, I started school the first of june to become a medical assistant. Its been very exciting but hard because I am gone 40+ hours a week and the kids miss me(or should I say I miss them to death!!). I am just so thankful travis is able to be home with them it saves a ton on babysitting thats for sure. I love it and cant wait to finish. Travis has been such a help and has also been sooo busy with home improvements and additions. We decided to put up a fence to keep the kids in the back yard to be safe so we got our land surveyed and came to find that we owned alot more land then we thought we did so that was a nice surprise. So he has been way busy everyday putting up a fence and also tilling our yard up to plant better softer grass in the back since there is hay growing in our newly expanded yard. Im so grateful for everything he does and what a good dad he is! Also on an end note we added a little addition to our family as well. Her name is Princess Diana (yes i did name her that lol) she is a miniture schnauzer and the most sweetest little thing ever. Well thanks for listening to me chatter on I promise it wont take me that long again to update lol. Till next time :)What cute little kids :)
So silly!!

Little Princess Diana she is such a doll..!!

Makaylas 6 months old already!!

Ok so my little Layla Marie is 6 months old already (on the 4th) . She has just gotten so big it makes me wonder where the time went. The stats: She is 17 lbs 6 oz today and is 26 1/2 inches tall which is funny enough their both in the 73rd percentile. She is almost crawling and trys so hard to get up on her hands and knees. Makayla loves to laugh at people and absolutley loves watching whatever her big brother is doing. She laughs all the time and is such a content little girl who will just sit quitely in her car seat or on the floor and sometimes makes me forget for a second that she is still there lol but can also let us know with her big strong lungs that she is here and ready to be picked up. She has added so much more meaning to my life and makes our little family complete. We just love her to death and we are so blessed to have her here with us. We love you makayla and cant wait to see what comes next..!!

Updates and new pictures!

First bike ride of the year!!

Cutest brother and sister just loving the rides!

Ok so I have been meaning to update this for a while now but never find the time to do it. I have to remind myself that one day I want to look back at this and reminise about what it was like at this time. So here it goes...Makayla is almost 6 months old and is such a character. She loves her mommy and daddy (especially her daddy :)) She wants so badly to be able to do what jaxton is doing. She is trying to crawl now but hasnt quite figured out the getting on your knees part. She does love to roll around though but doesnt like to for too long before getting too tired. She smiles at everyone and just loves everything and everyone all the time. People even come up to me and are amazed at how happy she is all the time. Now Jaxton is my big studly big boy who is 2 yrs and 7 months old. He loves to be outside allll day now that it has warmed up and he is learning new things daily. He is growing so fast I cant believe it. He just loves his little sister and is already very very protective of her its too cute! He loves helping daddy with anything and everything even if its something like taking the garbage out or fixing his little 4-wheeler. He speaks in clear almost full sentences now and suprises us all the time with the interesting things he says. Everyday he wakes up and gets more and more independent which is bitter sweet because he is growing to be a big strong boy which is great but he needs his mommy less and less as it happens. Im so glad god gave me the chance to be their mother and I cherish every moment I have with them. I am truely blessed to have these 2 great kids!! Now on to Travis...He is working so hard on our house lately its amazing. He has already built our master bathroom and is starting on our laundry room which should be done any time now. He has a few projects lined up already that should keep him pretty busy for a while. After the laundry room he is on to build a fence in the backyard so jaxton has a fun SAFE environment to play in. (anyone who knows my house knows the street in front of it is a speed zone!!) While doing that he is planning on doing a sand box for jaxton somewhere in the backyard. Anyways you get the point :) He is such a great husband and a even more wonderful father. He does so much for us and I appreciate him so much for all he does!! Well there you have it in a very big nut shell :)

Cute Cousins!!

This is Kurtis makaylas cousin who is 15 months old. We went to visit them in st george this past week to get away for a little while. He is such a cutie and has the most adorable personality as does his older sister my niece kailee who is 4. We went and ate on afternoon and he wanted to hold makayla so with the help of my brother he held her and it was so funny. He just stared at her like what exactly are you lol but she got a kick from it and smiled at him the whole time. She is such a happy baby and loves all the attention she gets. Im so lucky to have such cute kids and an amazing family. Love you guys so so much and am so happy I got to come down for a while!

P.S. Makayla is so much smaller then what she looks in this picture. Kurtis is sitting in a booster seat and she is sitting on top of it so it looks like they are the same size lol.

My big helper and makayla is 4 months old now!!

Here is makayla today waiting for mommy to put down the camera and get ready to leave for the doctors. We went to get her shots and her measurements today for her 4 month check up. She weighed in at 14 lbs and 10 oz which was in the 70th percentile and 24 1/2 inches long which was in the 60th percentile. Also they measured her head and she was in the 25th percentile lol so she has a tiny head but a cute one :). She has always had a smaller head since birth but thats ok cuz its so adorable. I just love this girl to pieces :)
Oh my big boy jaxton is such a stud..he wanted to help mommy make rice crispy hearts last night and he sure did a great job helping and also eating them after lol. I just love how big he is getting and how extremely smart he grows everyday. I love this guy so much!!!

Updated pics of the kids

Big Boy Jaxton playing on a toy at the store. He is just getting so fun and has such a cute personality. I love this guy so much lol.

Little makayla (or Layla if your travis) :) has a smile on her face all the time and just loves laughing at anyone who will look her way. She is my little cuddler and I just love her to pieces!
