Just not as flexible as we used to be

Today Jeremy decided to steam clean the carpet in the living room.  So after we moved all the furniture out, we stood in the middle of our empty living room and thought it would be cool to do somersaults and cartwheels since there was so much open room.  Seemed like such a great idea…  
Jeremy did 3 somersault in a [...]

Fun with family

This weekend my parents came to visit and Jaxson was super excited to see “papa” and “nana”.    At first he was a little shy because he has not seen them in a few months and so he needed to be reminded that they were real and not just people that we point to in a picture.   [...]

When a door closes…

hopefully another one will open soon. 
Tuesday Jeremy went to work at 8am with his lunch in hand and was home by 10am he was walking through our front door with not only his lunch but the contents of his entire office.  He got laid off yesterday.  Business is just not what it used to be.  He is [...]

Buddy Walk

The Buddy Walk for Payton and Nika was this past Saturday.  This is the fourth year we have participated in this walk and this is the first year that we have had crappy weather.  And I mean crappy weather!  It was freezing and raining and windy.  But there was no way that weather was gonna [...]

Pumkies

Pumkies–this is what Jaxson calls pumpkins.  And he has been pointing out pumkies everywhere…at the grocery store, at the markets on the side of the road, on his halloween t-shirt, on our counter, etc. 
So we decided to surprise Jaxson by carving our pumkies this weekend.  And they turned out awesome.

I carved mine with Elmo because Jaxson LOVES Elmo

Jeremy carved [...]

Molars

Jaxson is a very late teether.  He only has four teeth: 2 upper and 2 lower.  Until this weekend.  Jeremy was brushing his teeth after breakfast and noticed that one of Jaxson’s two year molars was popping through.  Seriously!?!?!  He is gonna have molars before any of his other front teeth come in-geeze.  He really need [...]

Fire Trucks!!

This weekend we walked over to our local fire department to hang out with fire fighters.  Jaxson was excited to see all the “tucks” (aka trucks) and give fire fighters high fives.  He ran from truck to truck trying to climb on them–but ended up unsuccessful because they are  much taller than our couch (which [...]

Great Wolf Lodge

This weekend we headed to Williamsburg for a mini vacation at Great Wolf Lodge (a huge indoor waterpark resort).  We figured that since Jaxson loved the kiddie water park so much this summer, that he would really love an indoor waterpark.  And we were right.  Jaxson was so pumped when we got there and saw all the pools.  [...]

Hack Attack

Today was our work golf outing and my team name was the Hack Attacks…and the name definitely suited us.  Our team lost soooooo many balls and I mean sooooooooooooo many.  Luckily we played “best ball” because none of us could really hit the ball straight so if one of us hit a good ball, we all got to hit from [...]

Bring on the t-ball

I see a homerun derby in Jaxson’s future.
