Best Friends & Hair Cuts

Meet Daxon's best friend Dillan. Dillan comes over to play a couple times a week! They are two of a kind thats for sure! We LOVE Dillan!

Yep, we cut Daxon's hair for the 5th time since he was born. Is was much needed that's for sure! Doesn't he look so handsome?!

Lets see how well I can remember whats gone on over the past three months........

October 11, 2009

My BABY turned ONE!!
I still am trying to believe this. ONE?? Anyways, his birthday ended up being the same weekend we had to move to Holladay. So all we did was have some family over at his great grandparents house, where we were staying at the time, for a short party and then right after went home to our new place. He got lots of cool presents and he LOVED the cake! He had a chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. He ate a ton and ate a hole right in the middle of it! We had to take his clothes off... too messy!!!

October 12, 2009

The start of my new job, as an apartment manager.

I must say its been nothing more than a blessing. I've been very busy(yes and that's why I haven't been blogging)with paper work, tenants, rent,.... all at the same time of taking care of Daxon. I am so happy to be able to say that! Work + taking care of Daxon! Sigh...

Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving in California!!!

Chris and I were lucky to be able to go home for thanksgiving! By home I mean Sacramento!! We miss it so much and it felt so good to be back. We had lots of fun and loved being back with family!! Daxon loved playing with his cousins Noah and Spencer, they ran around and played, and were just all so cute together! I love my nephews!!!

Halloween!!!!!!

A new nephew!!!!!

Chris' brother Brian and his wife Shadell had a beautiful baby boy on November 14th. He is just the cutest and we love his so much!!! Congratulations Brian and Shadell!!!

AND..... THE PRESENT.................

WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!

We have been getting ready for Christmas around here. We have our tree, our decorations out, and have been watching a Christmas movie every night on family channel. Im trying to get Daxon excited for santa but i've got a feeling he has no idea what im even talking about. Oh well. Better luck next year right?

I PROMISE....

I promise to start writting in my blog again. YAY! It will be much easier now that I have my life back in order. So keep checking back for a new blog update!!

I GOT THE JOB!!!

Yes, I'm now a working mom. But the best part of it all is, Daxon will go on with his normal daily life as if nothing has changed for him at all.

ANNNNNNND....

It's an even better job than the one I told you about in the last post! The owner called me yesterday and asked me if I would be interested in an even bigger complex. It's 120 units, with FREE RENT + $700/MONTH + NO UTILITIES + BONUSES!!

♥

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but I am so extremely grateful for this opportunity Chris and I have!! What a great blessing this will be!!

Hooray!!!!!! =)

"teetee!!"

WARNING!! THIS IS LONG!! =)


Daxon has a pet cat. OK, maybe it's not his, but they are friends! This cat always comes to our bedroom door and meows for Dax to come play with him. Whenever Daxon sees him he gets this high pitched voice and says, "teetee! teetee!" it's so cute. He LOVES his teetee. He now calls everything that even looks close to a cat a "teetee". The other day we were in the kitchen and there was a stuffed animal dog on the floor and he ran to it yelling, "teetee!! teetee!!".

Here's a video of Dax and his "teetee" talking to each other.

This is a video of Dax and I passing the football back and forth. He cracks me up!! His shirt is very wet from teething and he has a bump on the side of his head I have no idea where he got it. Poor guy. I guess that's normal for a new walker though.

We were at our friends house watching the BYU game on Saturday, and Becky brings out this cool basketball hoop for Dax to play with! He loved it so much and was pretty good at it! Now I know what to get him for his birthday! Thanks again for having us over Scott and Becky! It was way fun!

Here's a short video of our basketball star!

A couple pictures.....

SPLISH SPLASH DAXON'S TAKING A BATH!

Us in front of the Salt Lake Temple!



Such a sleepy little baby...

"It's NOT funny dadda!"

I don't know when they took this picture... but i love it. =)

A little update....

OK- Chris and I have been trying to find a place to live since we got here to Utah. A couple weeks ago we decided we wouldn't look for places to rent, we would look for a place to manage with free rent! This way, Chris can go to work and I could stay home with Dax and take care of whatever it is we would be managing. With that said, Utah being a place with TONS of college students looking for jobs we haven't had much luck. Last week my friend told me she knew of a apartment complex that needing a new management team to manage the 21 unit complex! So Chris and I gave them a call and to make a long story short, we went and looked at the place and want the job so bad! Working there would mean, NO RENT, NO UTILITIES, + $200 A MONTH, + BONUSES!! Hopefully we will hear from the guy sometime in the beginning of this week. WISH US LUCK AND PRAY FOR US!!! =)

UTAHHHHH!!

We finally live in Utah, a place where we will live for at least another 3 years! Thank goodness!! I'm so sick of moving!! Since we've been married Chris and I have moved 6 times and we've only been married for a little over a year and a half now. We do have one more move cuz we are at Chris' grandparents house until we find a place to live, but at least we are in Utah!!! So if anyone knows of a place, let us know!!

As for Daxon, he's no longer a baby. He's a toddler before he's even one! He's a pro at walking and getting better at the running thing. He's a big talker(HE'S SO LOUD), and loves playing hide and go seek with his mommy and "dadda". He has a new best friend named Gage. Gage is Chris' cousin who happens to be 1 and 1/2, so needless to say Dax and Gage get along much better than Chris and Gage would. Dax and Gage run around pretty much all day playing together AND ITS SO CUTE!!! Daxon thinks Gage is SO COOL because Gage is lots better at running, and talking, and doing cool tricks than he is. They are so cute. Here are some pictures of the two!

Matching PJ's Missy and I made for the boys.

They just happened to have the same shirt! Gotta love Target!

HE DID IT!!!!

JULY 18TH, 2009 (NINE MONTHS 1 WEEK)...........

DAXON TOOK HIS FIRST STEPS!!!!!! WAY TO GO LITTLE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was waving to the camera!

I HAVE INTERNET!!!!!!

Alrighty!! Im in DC for the weekend so I have internet at least for the next 4 days so im going to try and update my blog as much a possible!! Where to start............

I guess i'll just start posting some pictures!

He LOVED this!! He stayed in the sand like this for like 10 minutes. I was the one that decided to take him out. He would have stayed longer!!

Bahaha!! Silly face.

This is an old picture but the other day he wanted to go outside so bad that he crawled over to the window and waved to the outside for like 2 minutes straight. How sad! Yes, i did take him out after that.

"What do you want mom???"

Im a big boy now!!

He loves his momma

I just love those legs!

This video is boring but my cute nephew Noah would probably like it!!

These next four videos are of Daxon and his FAVORITE show, The Backyardigans. He REALLY likes the "Movers of Arabia" one! There's a song in that one he ALWAYS dances to. No matter where he is in the house he'll hear the part right before they start singing and crawl as fast as he can towards the chair we have the laptop on (the one thing i don't like about living in virginia beach, not having a tv here) and pulls himself up to watch and dance along with the song! So cute! Take a look for yourself!

P.S. These are old videos so he's much better and crazier at dancing! I just love it!!

More to come!!! I'll take some pictures tomorrow to post!!

I hope you liked them Noah!!! Feel better!!! I love you!!!
