WARNING: this is a mess.....

Well as usual I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off and left with no time to blog!

We are on our way home from a trip into town today. I need a new car seat for my car, but of course they were out of the one I wanted---figures, so I'll go home and order it online!

Any who, it's been the same old' same old' at our house. Jax was/is sick (better but still has a cough) poor baby stays that way for whatever reason! We're just getting over a double ear infection this time. It's such a mental and physical beat down when he's sick, bless his heart he has the WORST gag reflex E-V-E-R!!! So with that and any sort of snot...... Let's just say its not pretty and I do tons of laundry and cleaning! We started Claritin this week though so I'm really hoping this helps!

I didn't get around to doing his 10mo blog (considering he's almost 11mo now) so here's a few of those pics.. Sort of. He didn't really set still enough! He is on the move and busy busy now! He's just amazing to watch- and out of this world smart! Its scary sometimes what he understands and will do! He can spiderman his way up anything and I just know he's gonna take off any day. He claps and waves "bye-bye" (when he wants) tonight at dinner he waved to the waitress then clapped at himself for it after!! :)
He's a complete ham/flirt whichever you want to call it. He doesn't have a shy bone in his body. To say the least , he's a stinker! And he's constantly making my heart melt!

We've also been planning his first birthday party (tear ;( ) it seems almost unbelievable! But it's exciting too!

Jax is a little talker too- he says hi, bye-bye, momomomma, dadadaddy, bite bite. And ALL kinds of jibber ish we haven't figured out just yet!

I've also started to work days again which is nice, and Jax has been staying with a good friend of ours who just happens to have a little boy just a month older than Jax! We're so blessed to have them in our lives and to do such a nice thing for us! Love them!

My little stinker is also a dancing machine!!! It's hilarious! Any music he will break it down!!! He really likes to dance in bath to some "I'm sexy and I know it", or "moves like jagger"

So I know this is all over the place but here are a few pics to catch up also!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful and blessed day! God is good, ALL the time! :)

I'M BACK!

WOW! I cant believe its been so long since Ive blogged! Ive seriously missed it!

Time just seems to be flying by.... quicker and quicker...... Jax is now 9 months old. Can you believe it?     I cant.
Hes just amazing to watch. He learns new things and has his own personality. Hes funny. (like his daddy) and Particular. (like his mommy) I just wish it could slow down. He isn't crawling yet, but VERY close. Or he may just take off walking.... either way hes gonna do something SOON! His crawl postion is bear crawl, and he stood straight up from there the other night in bath (thank goodness i was right there to catch him). So who knows.

I meant to do a Thanksgiving blog and never got around to it...... and a Christmas blog.......and a New Years. But I'm just gonna combine a little of them all.

Thanksgiving- Any time spent with family is always great. I love our families so much, we are truly blessed. But our Thanksgiving is always crazy<  we have to be at 2 places at once...so were always way late somewhere. Which I hate, so hopefully this year we can do something different!

Christmas- WAS AWESOME! Once again...... SO BLESSED! Jax got TONS of stuff! and he LOVED presents!! I didn't expect him to open presents as good as he did!! He would open one, then grab another! Too cute!

New Years- We went to Mitchell RV park for new years. It was really fun. I didn't take ONE picture, but we really had a great time!

I feel like I'm having to rush through this, but if i don't, it wont get done. Jax is napping at the moment and his naps aren't quite as long as they used to be!

Here are a few more pics from the holidays and what we've been up too!

As you can see, Jax has lots of friends!

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Blessed!

I've spent most of today and yesterday thanking God for all he has given me.

I am so truly blessed. I get to spend most all of my days home with my perfect son. And am able to go and do as I please. I'm getting to be mother and wife I've always dreamt of.

I can just cry at the drop of a hat... (that's really nothing new)

I'm just holding my son a little tighter, giving a few more kisses and a lot more "I love you's" today.

Oh and I also whipped up no bake cookies my mom used to make as kid!!

Oh, and I'm just now getting used to the phone app and don't know how to place pictures where I want them! Sorry!

Everyone have a wonderful BLESSED day!!

6 Months

So I would love to tell you that Ive been doing all kinds of awesome stuff and staying super busy and that's why I haven't blogged..... But that would be a lie. Who knows what Ive been doing?! Feels like my sweet boy has been sick forever and all I do is laundry, cook, clean and repeat.

This last Wednesday Jax woke up super stuffy and running a low grade fever so we went to the doctor, where she told us he had a cold. She gave us a script and said this should help but wont cure it......(dislike)... So now its Thursday and were still taking the drops and still snotty...

Yesterday was Jax 6 month well baby. We had shots of course(yuck) and he almost always runs fever. Hunter went with me to help me battle wal-mart, thank goodness and before we could even make it home the fever hit. 100.8 ish.. so we do Motrin.... 3 hrs later 101... so we do Tylenol.... this fever was on a mission and it made me a nervous wreck!!! It finally broke around midnight.

Oh rewind to last Monday.... we were going to start "crying it out" because in the nights before Jax was up every 45minutes to hr. Unacceptable...... So we decided to go ahead and put him in his room in his crib for the first time also... (there was no way we could let him scream in our room and hunter get up for work the next day also)

ANYWAYS...... He did FANTASTIC! The first night was only up twice i think and only ate once! It was great! He has done great every since!! Usually only up once! And that's for a diaper change and a snack! So were usually back asleep in 20 minutes or less! This momma really needed her sleep! By putting him in his room though that has moved us to the guest bedroom next to his.(I couldn't handle being across the house)

What I guess I was getting at is he was up a few more times last night!!!

And somehow with all this extra sleep Ive been getting I'm still so tired!

Here are a few pic's of what we've been up to! My nephew also had his first dirt bike race!

Dr. Appointments

So we had two appointments in ft. Worth this morning. Both checking on Jax esophogus. We had to leave the house at 6:45am to make it to our first one. Jax didn't fall back asleep on the way there......

And we were late... Traffic was horrible!
We made it thru the first appt and had an hr to kill before the next. We decided to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. The new side was open and really nice!! I had my fav omelet and they now have a chick-fil-a, what hunter had. If there was an up side to staying here I would have to say it was the food, their grill is great!

We also seen the nurse that released us, that was nice. She couldnt believe how chucky he was!

Our next appointment went fantastic!!! We don't have to go back for another 3mo!!! If it looks good then, we may be done!! What a blessing!!!

God is good ALL the time. I have all my faith in him. I know he puts us where we need to be, and all things happen for a reason. I'm so incredibly thankful and blessed.

Jax was so so sleepy by the time of the second appt. He fights his sleep so bad....... When he finally gave in he crashed!!!

We enjoyed the rest of our day shopping celebrating our good news! And apparently Jax has learned to sleep anywhere! He's such a little trooper!

I love days like today. Anytime it's me and my boys I'm happy!

5 Months

So Jax turned five months old yesterday!! Its so hard to believe! He's just perfect....

I started last month taking a picture in the same spot with the same items and so that's what we did yesterday.

The thing is once I start to take his picture I just cant stop!! So we did get our monthly pic...and about 100  more!!

This has been one crazy week, as you may know our AC went out on Saturday then on Monday our dryer had a funny smell. So today our new dryer is being delivered. Kinda exciting.

Ive also had the whole week off to prepare for our move to the new salon..... WELL that's now been delayed a month or so. So I'm going to be back at Patti's for the time being. I hate having to move my clients all around BUT everything happens for a reason. I think this just means its going to be a better place once she finds one!

AND randomly I had a low fever yesterday...... Who knows?!?! Today I feel fine.

Basically I haven't got anything done this week while I've been off! OH WELL!

Anyways back to my baby being 5 months old..... Isn't he just so stinkin' cute?!?!
He still doesn't roll over... Well he has twice, I missed it both times! He just has no interest in it what so ever! He does sit up really well though. Our Pediatrician says "hes as strong as an ox". And he is... This boy can pitch a fit.........and let me tell you, hes already hard to handle. I'm hoping he grows out of the fit thing.... and yes i know hes only 5mo BUT he does the whole arch the back full on fit ALREADY.... with no tears.....
Ya know I have no idea where he gets his temper.....{haha} ?

Here are some more pics from yesterday......

Ok, until next time. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

OH and last and for sure not least. Please keep all of the people affected by the fires in paradise and possum kingdom in your prayers also prayers for the firefighters that are out there also. And thank you so much for everything you do!

26?! Wasnt I just 15 yesterday?!?!?!

So its mt birthday and I'm 26. Its really crazy.........30 is just around the corner.
WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?
This year though is the best year ever because I have a sweet boy to celebrate with!
Were not going to do much, my mother in law is fixing dinner-which is always fun getting to visit with family.

Our weekend was FABULOUS!

We woke up Saturday and got ready early and headed to the mall (to get my bday present) we were there by 10 and it was awesome. the crowds weren't to terrible yet. Jax did great, and so did Hunter! (he normally is complaining and ready to go way before I'm even close) so I guess that was part of my present also. Anyways we had a great time and my boy was pooped! He passed out in daddy's arms while I was trying on shoes in nordstrom so I left them there while I went and grabbed one last thing!

We got home pretty early and Jax went down for a nap....and I was well on the way but our house seemed really hot. We just assumed it was because it was so hot outside. We decided to go to dinner - it was way to hot to cook!

When we got back the house was scorching!!!!! So we called, and called....... Every AC man we could find.... either they didn't answer or it would be awhile.....

It was time to start bed time and Jax was getting fussy so I loaded him up and we headed to Lacey's to do bedtime! She had someone we could call and sure enough he answered and was on the way> (thank goodness) So I went ahead and put Jax down and waited. We ended up getting home about 11. And somehow Jax stayed asleep.

Sunday- My favorite day of the week!!

Church, we've got a great series going on that I really like and we also signed up for a life group!!! I'm really excited about it! The one we signed up for is at the church on Sundays at 11 so we would have to start going to the early service AND putting Jax in the church day care...... me agreeing to do this is HUGE!! I never wanted to put him in any kind of child care BUT its one hr a week and I used to work in the infant room and its usually pretty small and hopefully (surely) no one will bring their sick baby to church...right?!?!?

We got home to the COLD AC!!! And we all took naps!!!! Just another reason to love Sundays. Things just seem to move a little slower on Sundays and I love it!
We do what we call "naked time" every night before our bath, and Jax loves it. Well last night he actually set up!! Hes been really close but he did it unsupported and had a bit of balance!!!!

We've been getting a new food every week and last night it was Sweet Peas and i was sure he was gong to make a terrible face on the first bite so i had the phone and camera ready.... Nope just loved it!! Hes just a hungry boy that loves his veggies!! I cant believe how big he is already.. Time flies. He looks so big in all these pictures......

I guess last night Jax gave me my birthday present, he only woke up at 4am then 7:30am! It was great! I'm not gunna get my hopes up that it will happen again....

Hope everyone has a great day!

OH AND GUESS WHAT????? In the next week or so we should get some cooler weather?!?! Who knew id be so excited about 90 degree weather?!!?
